We’re rarely the cheapest in town,” says Chuck Pistor, president of Surface Doctor, “but with no barriers to entry, anyone can say they’re a refinisher, and you often get what you pay for. Next, the refinisher washes away the hydrofluoric acid, installs new caulk and dries the tub with the help of a fan. A liner, on the other hand, is much thicker and more durable, and if installed correctly it will last for many years—perhaps even decades. Bathtub liners can create plumbing problems because the added thickness of the liner often requires an extension of the drain and overflow.

Chipped, dented or even rusted-through tubs are no problem, however, but be prepared to pay more if repairs are necessary.But it’s ultimately up to you to decide what kind of homeowner you are and what sort of home improvement goals you want to achieve with your hard-earned money.

Then, using a combination of two-sided butyl tape and silicone adhesive, the rep attaches the liner to the old tub then finishes up by installing a new drain and overflow, and caulking the seams. It seamlessly meets up with the drain hole, walls, and floor so that it looks just like a conventional bathtub. I have plenty of extra plastic liner leftover as far as length of the tub, which I’d rather have more to work with, than coming up short, as I do with the width of my tub. You’ll find a range of refinishing and tub lining companies online, but the best advice is to act as you would when hiring any contractor—by asking lots of questions.Read our editorial process to learn more about how we fact-check and keep our content accurate, reliable, and trustworthy.
