Refinishing VS. Liner Systems
There are two major liner material systems for your tub and shower walls. Fiberglass liner systems and Acrylic Liner systems are the two common systems in the Maryland. Fiberglass is the cheaper of the two and less durable than acrylic systems. Unlike Acrylic systems, they are very porous, scratch easily and can be cracked fairly easily as well. Because of there inexpensive price point, most customers who chose a plastic system have this one. However, they are usually surprised as it begins to fade very quickly and loose its gloss.
Acrylic systems are good because they do not crack as easily as fiberglass systems, will not stain and will not discolor over time in most situations. However, the cost for these systems is much more than refinishing. In many instances, it could cost 10 times as much as our refinishing packages. Also, with proper care, our tub and tile reglazes can last up to 20 years! Many of us will no longer be living in the same house after 20 years, due to life expectancy or simply moving to another location. This is a simple justification for utilizing the cost savings in a refinishing job vs. an acrylic liner system. Also with refinishing, you have a much larger selection of colors from which to choose. We have 40+ colors from which to choose from. Refinishing is also done in one day, whereas a complete acrylic liner system for the entire bathroom may take a few days from start to finish. You will be able to enjoy your new bathroom in 24 hours when having it refinished.
