    Bathtub glazing vs re-lining
    Can anyone tell me the difference of cost between bathtub glazing vs re-lining the bathtub (as in Bathfitters.com)? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each method? Should either of these be done before or after I put in a new floor and paint? Thank you!

    Reglazing is glorified paint, it will scratch easy. Relining is a solid substance that has durability.
    Painting should be the finishing touch.

    Doug's bang on. The best warranty I've found on a reglaze kit is five years before the glaze wears through. Good lucki, Tom

    With one you get to lie to yourself that you did a good job, with the other you get a finished job. How much does that cost?
