Refinish Your Bathtub to Prepare for Cool Soaks in the Summer!
As we get closer to summer, temperatures are rising, which means more homeowners are beginning to fill their homes with fans or cranking up the air conditioning to stay cool. After long, hot days spent in the sun and sweltering heat, the last thing you might want to do is hop in a hot shower.
Rather than bathe in hot water during the summertime, try another trick to cool off: soaking in cold water! Few things feel more refreshing than returning from a hike, short walk with the dog or gardening session and relaxing in a cool tub.
In order to take advantage of this handy summer trick, though, you’ll want your bathtub to be in great condition. After all, who wants to lay in a cracked, discolored and worn-down tub? If your bathtub is looking a little worse for wear, now is the perfect time to call a professional for bathtub refinishing in Phoenix, AZ.
Why bother to refinish?
Refinishing your bathtub will strip away all of the old caulk, paint, rust, soap scum and grime that has been building up in your tub for years and replace it with a shiny new glaze. Not only will the process totally revitalize your bathtub, but it can also improve the value of your home.
Even better, you’ll be able to enjoy long, relaxing soaks in your glistening new tub year-round. In summer, this is especially important, since soaking in cool water can help lower your body temperature on blistering hot days and allow you some quality time to decompress.
This time is made even more special when it’s done in a newly refinished, clean bathtub. Add some bath salts, bubbles and a glass of fruit-infused water, and you just might think you’re in paradise!
What to expect
A lot of customers hesitate to get their bathtubs refinished because they think it is an extensive process. Really, the process is pretty simple, and your tub will be ready for use in just 48 hours! Bathtub refinishing in Phoenix, AZ is the perfect project for those hot summer days when you and your family will be enjoying the outdoors.
First, the bathtub refinisher will clean your entire tub, removing any rust or grime present, and then will remove the caulking. Using strong tub cleaning chemicals, the expert will etch the top layer of your tub away, then fill any holes or cracks evident on the surface.
