Bathtub Reglazing FAQ
Straight answers to the questions we hear most.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is bathtub reglazing?
Reglazing, also called refinishing, is the process of cleaning, repairing and recoating an existing bathtub, shower or tile surface so it looks new without replacement.
How long does reglazing take?
Most tubs take about half a day. The surface then needs 24 to 48 hours to cure before regular use.
How long does a reglazed finish last?
With proper prep and gentle care, a professional finish commonly lasts around 10 to 15 years. Prep quality and how the surface is cleaned afterward make the biggest difference.
Is reglazing cheaper than replacing a tub?
Typically yes, because it avoids demolition, plumbing and wall or tile repair. We provide a quote so you can compare.
Can you change the color of my tub?
Yes. White is the most common, and other colors are available. We will review options during your quote.
What can be reglazed?
Bathtubs, showers, bathroom tile, sinks and vanity tops, in porcelain, fiberglass, acrylic and ceramic tile, among other surfaces.
How should I care for a reglazed surface?
Use non-abrasive cleaners and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh scrubbing pads and strong chemical cleaners, and fix dripping faucets so water does not sit in one spot.
Is there a smell during the work?
Coatings have an odor while being applied. We ventilate the area and you can keep a window open or run the exhaust fan afterward.
