Does your bathroom need a facelift? Many people are uninspired by their dull boring bathrooms and want ideas on ways to spruce things up without having to break the budget. We have a good suggestion, what about refinishing your bathroom fixtures? It works with bathtubs, toilets and sinks. It's actually a fairly simple process.
In a nutshell, the refinishing process involves these steps:
1. Chemically clean and etch the fixture
2. Apply the finish
3. The finish is cured and then polished
There are two main types of finish you can choose. A polyeurethane enamel will last about 5 years but an epoxy can start changing color in only 6 months. If you choose the epoxy method be sure to check into any warranties. You can purchase the refinishing materials at any local hardware or home improvement store. They will come with instructions. Be sure to follow them carefully and wear protective gloves as some of the chemicals can be rather harsh.
Overall refinishing is a cost effective way to upgrade without having to replace a lot of things. It's also faster than replacing and causes the least disruption to your daily life. You don't need to remove any of the surrounding wall structures such as tile or wallpaper.
There are times when you shouldn't do this refinishing process. The biggest case is when the surrounding structures are damaged. If they're damaged in any way then you'd need to remove the entire fixture to assess the situation before proceeding.
Sometimes you may find that your newly beautified fixtures make your sink or tub look worse. This happens when the shiny fixtures now look new and your sink looks dirty, dingy and stained. You can take the next step to refinish the sink or completely replace it. Whichever option you choose, carefully research all the cost and materials involved as replacing is more expensive and time consuming.
