A bathtub tuneup is like a car tuneup. While this might seem silly, it’s worth a look. Both a bathtub and a car are shiny and clean when they’re new. But as they age and used, they become worn and need cleaning and maintenance to continue to look good year after year.
As the shiny finish fades over time, they both start getting hard to clean and can look dingy. At this point, you may consider a replacement. However, there are usually several options. The obvious choice is that you can purchase a new bathtub or a new car which in both cases are relatively expensive. Conversely, we may have the option to repaint the vehicle or refinish the tub. Either way, the latter will typically save the owner roughly 80% of the cost of new.
Sometimes when you think you might need to paint a car, all it may need is just an excellent detail. A good detailer can work magic! The same is true of a bathtub tuneup. A thorough cleaning, re-caulking, and some minor touchups will go a long way to extending the life of the fixture. It can even put off a bath refinishing job for several years. At Commercial Bath, we call that a “tub tuneup.” Bathtubs are like cars, they need maintenance to be their best.
While it may seem odd that a bathtub refinishing company would suggest ways to delay needing our services, in the long-term doing the right thing makes sense for everyone.
