Hotels bathtub refinishing or hotels bathtub resurfacing when combined with tub repairs, save many hotels money in their total bathroom renovation. With bathtub refinishing, old dingy, dull bathtubs can be refinished at a fraction of the cost of tub replacement. Hotels are saving up to 80% of the cost of bathtub replacement by repairing and resurfacing their bathtubs. Such savings are welcome by many in the hospitality industry who are cutting costs in renovation and maintenance. Others hotel owners still, are not sure whether bathtub refinishing is better than bathtub replacement.

Bathtub refinishing Vs Bathtub replacement
Not every bathtub can be refinished. Some will have to end up in the landfills while others can be resurfaced. Bathtub replacement is expensive and messy. Here are the reasons:

Older bathtubs are not the same size as the new ones made today. That poses a problem in trying to get the tub fit into the exact same spot as the old tub. New bathtubs may be bought for less than $300, but the total price for complete replacement may run up to $2000. Walls have to be demolished and tiles may have to be replaced. In addition, a plumber, a tile setter and perhaps an electrician will be needed in order to put the fixtures back together. Another problem with tub replacement is that the old tub, tiles and walls end up at the landfills.

Bathtub resurfacing saves time because it is completed in a day and the tub can be used 24 hours or 48 hours later depending on the coating used by the refinishing company. The whole bathtub restoration process is done in the bathroom and there is no trip to the landfills. The price runs between $250 and $450. With volume discount, hotels get considerable savings.

Bathtub Repairs
Bathtubs, sinks, or showers with cracks, chips, burns or dings can be repaired and resurfaced instead of a complete tub refinishing or replacement. Read the rest of this entry »

Budget & Midrange accommodation in Aberdares

The following accommodation must be booked through park headquarters

Public campsites basic sites with minimal facilities-some have hot water.

Tusk camp near Ruhuruini gate, these four cottages provide beds for eight to 10 people,a kitchen area (no pots utensils etc),toilets, hot water, a dining,/lounge area and great views.

Sapper Hut a simple Banda, with an open fire two beds and a hot-water boiler, overlooking a waterfall on the upper Magura River. You will need to bring everything from drinking ware to bedding.

Kiagondoro fishing lodge

Sitting in an excellent spot on the high moor by the Gura River, these two large cottages offer bathrooms, gas-powered kitchens, dining rooms and fireplaces.

Luxury Accommodation in Aberdare Park

Prices below include transfers (self drive isn’t permitted) form Outspan Hotel in Nyeri (for Treetops) and Aberdare Country Club near Mweiga (for Ark).Children under seven are prohibited at both lodges.

Treetops (mid-Jul-Dec full board s/tw with shared bathroom, it was at this very floodlit waterhole in 1952 that a sleeping princess became queen Elizabeth after the death of George In 1957 after the Mau Mau guerillas turned the original into ashes a much larger rendition was built on the opposite side of the waterhole.

Today, with faded, peeling, bark siding and cast iron spiral staircases, treetops’ exterior resembles a weathered shipwreck. The narrow lined hallways, miniature rooms, bench-seated dining halls and shared bathrooms are just as ship-like, but thankfully they don’t scream nautical disaster.

Despite its quirks Treetops reeks of charm, and there is still one lone tree meandering its way, through the floors, ceilings, and walls near the reception. Besides a great rooftop, wildlife viewing area and photographic hides, there’s an onsite naturalist who give talks and happily answers question.

ARK what this modern upscale version of the treetops lacks in history and charm, it makes up for in comfort and wildlife viewing. Sitting higher in the Aberdares Arks floodlit waterholes surrounded by grasses and mountain forests, which attracts a wider array of animals than Treetops.

Nightly visitors typically include elephants, rhinos, buffalos and spotted hyenas. Spotting a leopard is less likely, but still a real possibility. Like Treetops, they dubiously spread salt to attract wildlife, but here its confined to a smaller area, meaning there is less trampling of vegetation along the water line (crucial for timid species to approach).

Getting there and away

Access roads from the B5 hwy to the Wanderi’s, Ark, Treetops and Ruhuruini gates are in descent shape, while the road from Nyeri to Kiandongoro is just horrendous.

Regular Nyeri-Mweiga pass KWS headquarters and the main park gate. Since trekking the Salient is inadvisable, most trekkers use the Wanderi’s gate.

Nyeri’s Outspan hotel charges for wildlife drives into the lower Salient, while the Aberdare Country Club charges per vehicle; both rates exclude park entry fees.

If you are lover of nature and forest sorroundings, we suggest you try either the Ark or the Treetops, favourably reffered to as the Africa Kenya tree house.

Enjoy!
