Apartment Bathtub Refinishing – Surface Restoration Advantages
Apartment bathtub refinishing or surface restoration when combined with other fixtures updates, are helping property owners save money and time during their bathroom renovation. First impression matters, and for renters, one of the most important rooms that they give a special attention before committing to a rental agreement, is the bathroom. Bathtub surfaces that are yucky, dull, worn, chipped or cracked can discourage renters from renting especially in a slow and competitive housing market.
In addition, bathtubs, sinks and countertops that have cigarette marks or rusts will not attract a lot of buyers if the property were for sale nor will it help the seller get a fair price on his property. Since bathroom remodeling is important in making it easy to rent or sell an apartment, you may ask: ‘why not replace the fixtures’? That’s one of the most frequently asked questions about tub refinishing. Here are the benefits of surface restoration.
Advantages of Apartment Bathtub Refinishing over Bathtub Replacement.
Bathtub refinishing saves money:
A property manager or owner can have a bathtub reglazed for $250 to $400 depending on volume, area and company. On the other hand, it will cost the same owner or manager from $1500 to $2500 to replace the same tub. This is why the price ballooned pretty quickly for bathtub replacement. With $300 or less, you can buy a new tub from your friendly neighborhood home improvement store. But when you add the cost for demolition, removal of all the mess from fixtures, landfill fees, plumber, electrician, and tile contractor, you can see why the price of replacement is astronomical when you compare it to the price of surface restoration.
Surface restoration saves time:
Bathtub refinishing takes about 4 to 6 hours and is done in the bathroom. On the other hand, tub replacement takes days or may even take weeks to be completed. This is highly significant for property managers who need minimal interruption of their renters. Bathtub refinishing provides minimal interruption to renters.
Surface restoration is good for the environment:
Because all work is done in the bathroom during surface restoration and no fixtures are removed, none goes to the landfill. Additionally, by refinishing instead of replacing, valuable natural assets and resources are saved that would have gone in the production of new fixtures.
Custom colors: Property managers can choose almost any color for the fixtures they want resurfaced. You can hardly say that about the choice of colors for new tubs.
