Bathtub and Shower Liners
The washed up bathtub and shower are not easy on the eyes. You have good intentions to do something about them but finances, the age of the house or the length of time it will take to complete the project to replace them, are blocks in preventing you from giving your bathtub and shower a facelift they so deserve.
If you are ready to spruce up your bathtub and shower without the mess and cost, then you will be pleased that there is a quick fix method that will deliver the look of a newly renovated bathroom.
What are they?
Liners are like new skin for your bathtub and shower. They fit right over the top of your existing tub or shower. They are great alternatives to removing and replacing your existing tub and shower.
What materials are used?
Acrylic and fiberglass are the two materials used to manufacture the liners.
Acrylic:
- High gloss and scratch resistance
- Retain its original shine for a long time
Fiberglass:
- Low gloss and more prone to scratches
- Very light material and inexpensive
Benefits:
- Less time and money spent
- Achieve an entirely new look
- Custom fit
- Wide variety of styles and colors to match the style and décor of your bathroom
Should You Hire a Professional
The process to complete this project looks simple but to
achieve the best results may require a professional.
There are do-it-yourself-kits available but the professionals
will advise you against this, as the difference is that the
professional tub finisher will sand the old coating off the tub,
fill any chips or scratches and apply a new coating in several
The kit on the other hand requires that you apply the special
coating with a brush or roller which can result in giving your
tub a painted look rather than a refinished look.
Other Advantages:
- Matching wall systems available that can have built-in-shelves and storage areas
- Durable and easy to clean
- This project could be completed in one day
- A good investment that will serve you well for years
A perfect bathroom idea that won’t break the bank and
increase the resale value of your home.
