Bathtub Repairs or Replacement: Which is the Smarter Choice?
Replacing an entire tub can be costly, time-consuming, and inconvenient.
A basic replacement typically costs between $2,000 and $5,000, while high-end replacements can range from $10,000 to $14,000 or more.
The costs can add up quickly, especially when factoring in plumbing, labor, and additional renovations.
Breakdown of Costs:
- Bathtub Cost: $500 – $5,000, depending on material and style
- Removal & Disposal: $100 – $3,000, depending on tub weight and complexity
- Plumbing Adjustments: $50 – $250 per hour
- Installation Labor: $150 – $2,500
- Additional Renovations (Tiles, Flooring, Fixtures): $1,000 – $5,000
Bathtub refinishing in Toronto, on the other hand, which generally ranges from $500 to $800, is significantly more affordable than a full replacement—while still delivering a durable, factory-new finish.
No Major Renovations
Avoid demolition, plumbing alterations, and reconstruction by choosing professional resurfacing.
Minimal Disruption
A full tub replacement can take days or even weeks. Repairs and refinishing are completed in hours, allowing you to use your tub sooner.
Avoid Hidden Costs
A full replacement can lead to unexpected costs such as tile work, flooring repairs, plumbing adjustments, and labour fees. Our professional tub refinishing in Toronto eliminates these extra expenses.
Aesthetic Enhancement
Professional resurfacing gives your tub a factory-new finish, making it look brand new, without the high costs of a full replacement.
At Bathtub Guru, we offer professional bathtub resurfacing in Toronto that's cost-effective, fast, and eco-friendly with results that look just as good as a brand-new tub!
