If you have a tub that is looking old and scarred, but the tub is not rusted out, you might want to consider porcelain refinishing rather than replacement. Whether you are performing a complete bathroom remodel, or if you are simply sprucing up the bathroom for personal use or staging the home for sale, porcelain refinishing can be a good option.

These pictures show before and after shots of a tub that we just refinished. It only took the contractor a few hours to prepare the tub and perform the work, and then a couple of days of curing time before the tub was ready for use. But it saved a lot of money, mess, disposal, and time … and it sure looks great.
