The Tub Tech

While most tubs and showers look relatively the same, there are some very uniquely shaped tubs out there. No need to worry if you have an unusual shaped tub or shower; reglazing can be worked to fit on any fixture.

Did you have a few damaged tiles replaced and now the new ones outshine the old? Correct the problem by having the tiles resurfaced. This brings uniformity to the entire surface and delivers a consistent, and new, look.

Teutonic tribesmen typically bathed in cold rivers and streams. Early Greeks also washed with cold water, but not because of a lack of warm water, but because they considered washing with warm water to be a more feminine practice.

When you look at new bathtubs, you might think it's more cost effective to buy new than to reglaze your current tub. But don't forget to consider all of the other costs, like plumbing, labor for the replacement, any permits needed, and disposal fees for the old tub. When you add everything up, it's often far cheaper to resurface instead.

Antique cast-iron tubs are great additions when restoring, remodeling, or just changing the look of a home or bathroom. Do not be discouraged if what you find looks old and worn out. In most cases it can be resurfaced to look like new.

Many people believe that warm baths minimize stress, help reduce migraine headache pain, lower blood sugar levels in people diagnosed with diabetes, improve heart health, and improve the way in which we sleep. A warm bath will also sooth aching muscles and soreness.
