Have you ever walked into your own bathroom only to find that the bathtub has more than just a solid ring around it? Have you ever felt embarrassed, after just letting a friend use you bathroom and then walked into the bathroom and seemingly noticed for the first time that the bathtub was a mess? Are there water stains under the faucet – those tough stains that will not come off even with the harshest chemicals you could find?

Cleaning a bathroom – and keeping it clean can be a chore, especially if you have a large family and children. Bathtubs tend to hold their grime and grease as the time wears on, relentlessly showing you that it cannot be cleaned to the shine that it once had. This is also typical for a bathroom sink as well. No matter how much you put elbow grease to the stains, they seemingly remain stubborn, as they will not come out all of the way. You can use Comet along with bleach and still find that the grease, the grime and the water stains do not come out completely.

There are alternatives for those people with the older tubs. Sometimes, it might seem to you that it might be easier to go out and purchase a new tub or a new sink. But, this can be an expensive choice. Not only do you have to remove the old tub or sink, you also have to install the new one. And while you can always hire a contractor to do this for you, the expense will be higher than you initially thought – after everything is done.

There are a number of companies that advertize on the Internet as well as the television that claim that they can re-work your bathroom with a new-looking tub and sink without having to actually purchase these items new. Re-working a bathroom or just the tub might take the expertise of a person who knows what he or she is doing, but in the long run, it will cost you less money to re-work the tub than it will take to buy a new one and then have it installed. Too many things can go wrong when one is considering replacing a tub. There might be an inch or two differences on the bottom of the tub all of a sudden – space that must be accommodated before the tub can be put in its proper space. The color of the tub might be a shade different than the sink. All sorts of problems could surface when one is considering replacing only the tub. However, the tub refinishing business is thriving on the market these days as people are more and more reluctant to buy new – they just want to get their tub cleaned. After a bathtub is refinished, tub re-glazing is the next appropriate step, as this will put the shine back into the tub. Suddenly, you will have what looks and feels like a brand new tub for about a third of the price.
