WE UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS

Is bathtub resurfacing worth it? Honest answers

"Resurfacing? That won't last."

Yes, it does. Our resurfacing lasts over 15 years with normal use. We use specially developed materials that we have been optimising for 40 years – not DIY store products. And if anything should happen: 8-year guarantee against peeling and yellowing.

"You can tell it's just been painted over."

The result looks like a new tub – smooth, even, and in your chosen colour. Visually, the difference from a new tub is virtually unnoticeable.

"Is it worth it, or should I just buy a new tub?"

A new tub including installation quickly costs €2,000–€4,000, takes several days, and leaves you with a building site. Resurfacing is much cheaper, completed in a few hours, and without any mess. If you can keep your tub, you save time, money, and hassle.

"And what if my tub has cracks or damage?"

No problem. Minor damage such as scratches, chips, or cracks is professionally repaired before resurfacing. For more serious damage, we will give you honest advice on whether resurfacing is still worthwhile.

DIY PAINTING?

Paint your bathtub yourself or have it professionally resurfaced?

Yes, you can paint a bathtub yourself. DIY stores offer two-component paint kits for this purpose. Whether the result lasts depends almost entirely on the preparation.

Paint it yourselfHave it coated by bazuba
CostsPaint kit from the DIY store, plus abrasives, masking materials, and respiratory protectionusually €1,200 to €2,000, fixed price after inspection
Applicationwith roller or brush; roller marks and dust inclusions are often visibleby a professional, with a smooth and even surface
Preparationcrucial and time-consuming: degrease, sand, remove all silicone residuewe take care of this, including masking the bathroom
Durabilitydepends greatly on the preparation; paint peels first at the drain and edges8-year guarantee against peeling and yellowing
Timeone weekend plus several days drying time, depending on the productone day, usable after 24 hours

Our advice: If you plan to replace the bathtub soon anyway, a paint kit may suffice. If you want the bathtub to last for many more years, professional resurfacing is worthwhile.

Experiences with bathtub resurfacing: this is what our customers say

"

"We had our bathtub resurfaced and now it looks even better than new – snow-white and perfectly smooth! After more than 25 years, there were some minor signs of use and discolouration. If we had replaced the tub, we would have needed new tiles as well, which would have meant a complete renovation! → so we saved around €15,000 in total! Many thanks for this and for the excellent work."

"Unfortunately, due to an accident, a piece broke off our new shower tray. The manufacturer then recommended Bazuba for the repair. Arranging the appointment worked very well and I was very satisfied with the employee's performance. He appeared very competent and friendly, and we are delighted with the result."
