Here's where you'll learn the pros & cons of bathtub refinishing. There are a variety of bathtub solutions available. The nationwide average cost on a complete tear-out and replacement is around $3,000. Next is the Re-Bath type plastic tub liners for around $1,300. Then there is refinishing the existing surface. I use a Sherwin Williams product called Tile-Clad. This is an industrial marine epoxy, the same coating used by factories on new fiberglass tubs and showers. In addition to refinishing fiberglass, it has also become the industry standard coating used to refinish porcelain cast iron tubs. This is by far the most cost effective way to make your old tub look brand new.
