How to Clean a Refinished Bathtub

Nothing beats the sparkle of a freshly cleaned tub, but for owners of older tubs, achieving this kind of clean may be impossible. Over time, the glazing in the tub scratches and erodes, creating a dull, dingy look. At Fox Valley Bathtub Refinishing, we offer a quick, affordable solution for damaged tubs and showers: bathtub refinishing.  The primary question we get about bathtub refinishing is two-fold: how long will it last, and how do I clean it?

Eco-friendly Bathtub Refinishing: What You Need to Know

Bathtub refinishing is an economical and eco-friendly choice for updating your tub. Unfortunately, not all refinishing jobs are equal. While DIY refinishing kits seem like a good option, they quickly peel, bubble, and become discolored. Many companies cut corners to save on time and expenses while compromising on quality. As a locally owned and operated business in St. Charles, IL, we at Fox Valley Bathtub Refinishing go the extra mile to ensure high-quality, long-lasting results to all of our customers.

Fox Valley Bathtub Refinishing knows the ins and outs of bathtubs, and although it seems like your only option to fix the problem is a new tub installation, we enthusiastically recommend a better alternative: bathtub repair.
