There are essentially two different methods of tub refinishing in Portland, OR: Rolling and Spraying
The rolling method of tub reglazing is typically performed by homeowners or a handyman trying to get a decent tub refinishing job at a low cost. The results can be acceptable for many people and can last for a couple years depending on prep time and the quality of the refinishing materials. The rolling method usually leaves a textured orange peel look and feel, depending on the refinishing kit you choose, your preparation, the dust situation, and your experience with rolling paint.
The spraying method of tub refinishing is typically performed by a professional tub refinishing technician. This will definitely cost more than buying a refinishing kit and doing it yourself, BUT, the results are like night and day. The results of a professional refinishing technician spraying your tub with a pro-grade paint will leave a smooth, shiny, durable surface that can look almost as good as a new tub. However, even the best tub refinishing products and the most expensive refinishing equipment are useless in the hands of an inexperienced tub refinishing technician or a handyman. Choosing a professional refinishing company in Portland, OR is your best choice if you want a refinished tub that will look great and last for decades.
The method of tub refinishing you choose will determine how much it will cost.
You can purchase DIY tub refinishing kits online or in local Big Box Stores for $50-$200. This is usually enough product to refinish at least one tub or one shower.
If you are unhappy with the results and choose to hire a professional to fix it. You will likely have to pay us an additional $100-$200 to perform a chemical stripping process to remove the DIY paint before applying our professional tub paint.
Just like everything else in life, the price of professional tub reglazing swings widely depending on who you choose to do the work. We recommend choosing a professional tub reglazing company because they will use quality materials and techniques to ensure lasting results. But you can expect to pay more for this premium service.
