A realistic life expectancy of any resurfacing job is between 5 and 10 years. There are several factors that will determine just how long you can expect a surface to last. The condition of the surface before refinishing, how often the surface will be used and how the newly refinished surface is taken care of are some common factors. When deciding if you should replace or resurface, it is important to know how long a resurface will last so that you can decide which route is best for you. Most bathtubs, tile, cabinets and countertops can be resurfaced and their condition will determine just how long that resurface will last.
A bathtub, for example, that is badly worn will not have the same lifespan of a bathtub that is moderately worn. Chips, cracks and scratches from years of wear and tear will certainly need to be considered when deciding to refinish your tub. Most bathtubs and other surfaces that have seen years of neglect can easily be resurfaced to look new, including any chips or scratches. However, the shape it is in when resurfacing is done will predict it’s life cycle.
A newly refinished bathtub in a bathroom that serves as a guest bathroom will last longer than a refinished bathtub in a bathroom that has several uses per day. Your kitchen countertops can be expected to last a few years with resurfacing. Since it is an area that is used everyday, chips, dents and scratches are inevitable. Resurfaced tile can last far longer because most tile surrounding your tub and on your walls doesn’t see everyday abuse like a tub our countertop does.
As for care, the proper cleaners must be used and often enough so that your newly refinished bathtub or tile does not suffer from the natural damage that oils, dirt, and soap scum do. For instance, a bathtub and tile surround needs daily maintenance, especially if it is in a bathroom that is used regularly. Simple wipe downs of the surface can keep your refinishing job looking brand new for many years.
What is equally important to remember is how the resurfacing job is done in the first place. Relying on experts in the field can ensure a professional, top quality job that will play the biggest factor in how long your surface will last. Trying to do the job yourself will not have a long lifespan that you seek. Professional resurfacers use top grade supplies and equipment that only those in the industry have access to purchasing.

We all have resolutions we vow to keep going into the new year and this year is no exception. We want to lose weight, eat healthier, etc. But what about the resolutions we make to keep our home in tip top shape? We want to de-clutter and reorganize so that our homes are streamlined and things are easier to find. We should also work hard to make sure our houses are structurally sound so that we aren’t faced with major issues when they occur.
Some of the things we can do to maintain our home that don’t require a lot of time or money is giving bathtubs, counters, tile and cabinets a “refresh.” Resurfacing these key items in our home’s kitchen and bathrooms is the perfect solution.
It is important to make sure our roof is in good condition, or our electrical and plumbing is well maintained because these are key items that can destroy our bank accounts when they creep up on us unexpectedly. But keeping our house aesthetically pleasing is important as well.
Resurfacing your bathtub and changing it from that 1990’s mauve to a bright white will not only change the entire look of your bathroom. It can also protect your tub for years so that it isn’t one of those unexpected items that suddenly needs replacement. Giving that tub a new look will make you feel like you have a brand new bathroom without the fuss. However, if it is resurfaced the correct way, it will also protect your tub from future damage thus making it last longer.
Bathtubs, as well as tile, cabinets and countertops, can all chip, scratch and age with everyday wear and tear. By not protecting them, you can face having to replace them. One option of protection is by having your fixture resurfaced. Using today’s technology and high quality materials, your fixtures not only get a new look, but are coated so that they are protected from such everyday wear and tear.
