Replace or Refinish Your Classic Bathtub?
Years ago, many bathtubs were made bigger, deeper and wider than current models. Compared with today’s bathtubs, that classic tub is worth restoring.
If you have a classic tub and want to replace it, your greatest challenge will likely be taking it out. Sections of the bathroom tile and walls will need to be torn away. Plus, the old plumbing is often in the wrong place to fit the new tub, so you’ll need to replace that as well.
Plastic tub and wall liners can cost the same as replacement and not come anywhere near the quality of the tub you already have.
Refinishing your existing tub is the best way to maintain elegance and character in your bathroom without having to spend thousands of dollars.
Optimal Bathtub Refinishing for St. Louis, MO
With a reliable re-glazing system, you can bring back the mirror gloss and luster of the original bathtub. You can also adapt it to today’s color preferences.
Aarco Baths uses a German refinishing system called Thermo-Glaze. Thermo-Glaze is the only modern porcelain glaze with a heat application process that creates a smooth, highly durable gloss on the bathtub surface. The glaze looks like new and is easy to clean. Plus, because it’s non-porous, it prevents the build-up of mildew and mold.
Bathtub refinishing with Thermo-Glaze generally takes only a day or less. Even more, the cost of refinishing is typically around 20% of what you would spend replacing the bathtub. Thermo-Glaze also provides the same savings and benefits for many other surfaces, such as tile and countertops.
The excellence of the Thermo-Glaze system was recognized as early as the 1970s, when the U.S. Department of Commerce selected it as the only approved product for re-glazing of bathtubs and tile at its military institutions. Aarco Baths still holds that department certificate (Commercial Standard 77-63) confirming that Thermo-Glaze satisfies all requirements of newly manufactured bathtubs.
