A bathtub is a prominent focal point in the bathroom. While painting and décor can make a difference, they won’t quite cover the eyesore of a bathtub that needs a facelift. At Fox Valley Bathtub Refinishing, we offer many services to help you with your bathroom refinishing needs. Today, we are sharing three ways to upgrade your bathtub without having to replace your entire unit.

3 Ways to Upgrade Bathtub

1. Repair Imperfections 

The first option is to repair your existing tub. Whether your bathtub has a hole, crack, scratch, leak, or chip, we will repair it and restore it to a like-new condition. We can work on any material, including porcelain, acrylic, fiberglass, cultured marble, or vitreous china. In addition to bathtubs, we can fix showers, whirlpool tubs, and bath enclosures. 

2. Refinish & Refresh

The next way to upgrade the whole look of your bathtub is to refinish the tub.  If your tub has lost its shine and is looking drab, refinishing is the way to go.  Refinishing costs 75-85% less than replacing a bathtub. In addition to working on a variety of materials, we also can refinish a variety of tubs including hot tubs, Jacuzzis, whirlpools, and surround units. 

3. Cost-Saving Conversions

The final way to change your bathtub is to convert the tub to a functional shower.  We can take your traditional tub and make it more accessible and safe. The process starts with the installation of a safety step to turn a bathtub into a walk-in shower.  We can even install a watertight door to the step. Our entire process can be completed in two to four hours, saving you time as well as money compared to a brand-new installation.
