Reglazing a bathtub? UPDATE

[MI mom of 3]

Our house was built in '46. We had the tub reglazed about 10 years ago and it is chipping badly. I REALLY don't want to put in a new tub right now. Can you reglaze twice? I also have Bathfitters coming tomorrow to look at it. They install a kind of liner over the tub. All of the pictures I have seen show a tub and wall combo. I like the tile on the walls and only want the tub liner. Has anyone ever done this? How does it look?

Thanks

We had a bathtub reglazed about 10 years ago too. It is starting to peel a little around the drain but it is in our rental unit so I'm hoping I can get some more time out of it. I believe it can be reglazed but needs to be stripped before it can be refinished.

I'm not sure about Bathfitters. I want to do that to the tub in my house but I think it's expensive.

Please let us know the cost of bathfitters. I so want to do that but not spend a bundle on it. Thanks

we had something similar done by REbath...it was very expensive $6000 for 2 bathrooms, new walls, tubs, fixtures, etc BUT very well worth it!!!!! Our tubs were peeling and everytime I got out of the tub DH had to pick paint chips off my butt They also added a shower in the bathroom that just had a tub.

The Bathfitter guy came last night. For just the tub liner it is $980. That is for a completely plain sided tub in white. If you want designs, very simple ones like beveling, add $125. It comes in plain white. It also comes in white marble-look, a pale off white called pearl, and a slightly darker beige. For that add $65

Yikes!! I'll live with the chipping for a while. I still have to call the reglazers to see if that can be done again and how much $.
