Apartments and Condos bathtub resurfacing is saving apartment and condo owners and managers money in their bathroom remodeling. Remodeling is a top priority for property owners who want to upgrade their apartments and condos in order to attract upscale, quality tenants. Where are these quality tenants coming from?

The need for bathroom remodeling and surface restoration

Well, because of the glut in the housing market, many homes and condos are now in the rental market. Many of these home and condo owners, who lost their properties, or are unable to sell them, are opting to renting.

These renters are being courted aggressively by landlords across the country. And because there are a limited number of "quality" tenants-high end professionals who prefer to hunker down while they wait for the housing market to improve, many property owners are upgrading their properties so as to attract this new segment of tenants.

Who is renovating properties in today’s tight economy?

In a survey by the National Association of Independent Landlords, of its 476 members, it found that more than 52% of its members are renovating vacant properties. The areas of the house that are important to these renters that they are trying to attract are 'quality baths and kitchens." Unfortunately, apartments and condos remodeling loans are hard to come by in a tight and sluggish housing market that is beginning to show signs of stability.

Therefore, landlords are using bathtub refinishing to save up to 80% of the cost of bathtub replacement during their bathroom and kitchen renovation.

What surfaces can be resurfaced?

Dull, dingy, yucky or cracked bathroom surfaces can be repaired and resurfaced. Whether they are porcelain, Formica, Corian, fiberglass and cultured marble, we can save you up to 80% of the cost of replacement. Bathtub refinishing can be used to give a new look to a bathroom or to change the colors of the surfaces completely.

The beauty of the whole process is that bathtub refinishing is done in the bathroom with minimal interruption of renters and is completed in 4 to 6 hours. The tubs can be used 24 hours later.

The cost of an apartment or condos bathtub resurfacing

The cost an apartment or condos' bathtub resurfacing is between $350 and $595 and with our commercial volume discount, the price is considerably cheaper than tub and tile replacement.

On the other hand, tub replacement for instance can take 7 to 10 days. While the cost of a new tub may run around $300, it costs up to $2000 to replace a tub. Why such a high cost to replace a tub? Remember that tubs are framed in during construction because they are bulky.

To replace the tub, demolition has to be used, walls are torn apart, plumbing disturbed, tiles compromised. So, when the plumber, tile setter and the tub installer are paid, the cost of tub replacement goes up pretty quickly.
