About Bathtub Reglazing
Reglazing is the process of cleaning, repairing and recoating your existing tub with a durable, high-gloss finish. Instead of paying for demolition, new plumbing connections and wall repair, you keep the tub you have and give it a brand-new surface.
It is a popular fix for tubs that have gone dull, picked up stains that will not scrub out, or show their age with rough, chalky patches. Most residential tubs are completed in a single visit.

Questions About Bathtub Reglazing
How long does bathtub reglazing take?
Most standard tubs take about half a day, including prep and coating. You will need to keep the surface dry and unused while it cures, typically 24 to 48 hours.
Is reglazing cheaper than replacing my tub?
In most cases, yes. Replacement involves demolition, plumbing, tile and wall work. Reglazing skips that, which is why it is usually a fraction of the cost.
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.
