Tips and Tricks for Cheap Bathroom Renovations

One of the questions we are often asked here at Connecticut Reglazing is whether a specific type of fixture can be refinished and how much it will cost. The bathroom is one area in your home that people will spend a great deal of time in. You want it to look good, but when issues arise with your fixtures, you may think that your only option is to replace them.  Replacing any fixture in your bathroom can be expensive with tub replacement costing into the thousands. Yikes!  Bathroom refinishing services are an affordable and cheap remodeling alternative and can help you renovate your bathroom quickly and affordably.  Below, we will discuss some of the different fixtures that you can have reglazed in your bathroom. These fixtures do not always need to be replaced and the best part is – we do not have to reglaze all of your fixtures either! You can choose to have one, two, three, or all of the fixtures reglazed.  Why Choose to Have Bathroom Fixtures Refinished? There are many reasons why you may want to have your bathroom fixtures refinished. From changing the color to getting rid of stains, these are all valid reasons. Outside of those obvious reasons though, there are some additional benefits that make reglazing an excellent choice to renovate your bathroom on a dime. 
  1. Do not have to worry about replacement. 
Probably the biggest benefit of refinishing your bathroom is that you do not have to worry about going through the whole replacement process. It can be messy and leave your bathroom looking like a construction zone.  In addition, you do not have to worry about ripping out your fixtures and trying to fit the new ones into the space.  During the reglazing process, your fixtures remain in place and there is no demolition process at all. 
  1. Great results that last a long time. 
Reglazing your bathroom fixtures is not a temporary fix. In fact, it is a long-term solution. Your newly reglazed fixtures will last for several years and with proper care, can last up to a decade. This makes it well worth the money you will invest in it.  Once a fixture has been reglazed, no one will be able to tell it was. Your fixture will look and feel brand new. 
  1. You will save money. 
When it comes to replacement, you will spend a lot of money on the fixtures themselves, labor, and the removal process. If any damage occurs during the replacement, this will be an added cost.  Refinishing your fixtures is cost effective and you do not have to worry about the additional hidden costs. You will save yourself hundreds, if not thousands, to have your bathroom refinished.  What Can Be Refinished? Below, you will learn more about what we can refinish in your bathroom. The process of refinishing any fixture is about the same and the results are fantastic.  Bathtubs  Bathtub reglazing is perfect for tubs that are old, an outdated color, or cosmetically damaged.

  • Jacuzzi 
  • Porcelain 
  • Clawfoot 
  • Cast iron

  • Farm style
