How Much to Resurface a Whirlpool Tub?
It’s impossible to say how much it will cost to resurface your specific whirlpool tub until it has been seen by tour skilled estimating team, and pictures suffice. How much your whirlpool tub refinishing will cost you may depend on the size of the tub and the extent of the damage. Again, however, whether your jetted tub is suffering from chips, cracks or even burns, or if you’re just looking to bring back the shine or change the color, the cost of resurfacing your whirlpool tub will almost certainly be minimal compared to buying a new one, with virtually the same result.
What’s involved with the whirlpool bathtub resurfacing process?
To start, we protect and cover the existing jets and fixtures. Then we apply a chemical etching substance that removes the gloss from the tub and makes the surface of the tub more porous. Next, we coat the unfinished surface with a high-gloss, polymer topcoat that returns your old tub’s gleam and luster. But before we start resurfacing your whirlpool bathtub, we will protect your bathroom floor and other components by laying a plastic tarp on the floor and over surrounding walls. We take extra care to protect everything not being resurfaced from the etching solution.
The resurfacing process involves primer and paint materials that are applied using an industry-specific sprayer. In order to achieve a professional appearance, the primer and paint must be sprayed as evenly as possible over the entire surface of your whirlpool bathtub. It is important to keep the spraying in motion continuously while making sure the right amount of paint is placed on your bathtub. We do not recommend that you try to resurface your family’s whirlpool tub using over-the-counter products and instructions from amateur websites.

Tips for Whirlpool Resurfacing
When planning to resurface a whirlpool tub, keep the following tips in mind:
- Always ask the technician for an estimate so you know exactly how much you can expect the job to cost beforehand.
- You should make sure the resurfacing technician removes or unscrews the escutcheon plates around the whirlpool jets to make sure the coating seals behind them for a cleaner, more consistent look.
- Never try resurfacing your jetted tub yourself for a number of reasons. One, while you can buy the chemicals you need for a whirlpool tub resurfacing at a hardware store, they are quite toxic and can be extremely dangerous to the unskilled individual attempting resurfacing. Even resurfacing professionals have fallen victim to resurfacing chemicals at times. Two, without the necessary resurfacing skills, you may make the problem much worse. If this happens, you may actually need to replace the whirlpool tub after all. Even if you don’t, you may turn a fairly reasonable job into a very expensive one.
