Bathtub Liners

A bathtub liner is an acrylic or PVC liner that has been custom made to the specifications of you bathtub. Installing a bathtub liner is a great alternative to replacing your bathtub.

Many people have bathtubs that are old and worn out, usually with cracks and chips, and inbuilt dirt. They are hard to clean, and make the whole bathroom look old and tired. Adding a bathtub liner is a great way to solve all of these problems and leave you with a shiny new looking bath, and improve the overall appearance of your bathroom. They come in many different colours and can therefore fit in well with any bathroom style. Bathtub liners are ideal to be used in conjunction with bathtub surrounds.

Benefits Of Bathtub Liners

Bathtub liners have very hard and durable services. This makes then extremely resilient to damage and therefore able to last many years. They are also extremely easy to clean so can be kept looking new without much effort. Installing a bathtub liner also has many advantages over ordering a completely new bathtub. Buying and installing a brand new bathtub is far more expensive, running into thousands of dollars. As the bathtub liner has been custom made for your bath, it fits snugly over the bath to form a waterproof layer. No plumbing is required, no retiling, and no fixtures and fitting need to be removed. The installing of the bathtub liner can be done quickly and cleanly, and far cheaper. You will be left with a revitalised bathtub that will last for many years to come.

Difference Between A Bathtub Liner And Bathtub Resurfacing

Bathtub liners can be installed with bathtub surrounds when necessary. But what about bathtub resurfacing? This method is widely believe to be just as effective as installing a bathtub liner, and is marginally cheaper. However the main difference would be that many customers who have had their tubs resurfaced complain of the chemical smell that lingers many days after the resurfacing project has been completed. There is not of a major difference between the two, so the final decision comes down to personal preference.
