What Is Bathtub Refinishing?
Bathtub refinishing, also called reglazing or resurfacing, repairs chips, cracks and stains on your existing tub and coats it with a professional-grade finish. The tub stays in place, so there is no plumbing work, no broken tile and no days without a bathroom.
How Our Bathtub Refinishing Process Works
Every tub goes through the same careful process, so the new finish bonds properly and lasts.
Strip and sand
If the tub was painted before, we remove the old paint completely, then sand the surface to remove all residue.
Clean and repair
We wash and dry the tub, apply a specialized cleaning product and fix chips and cracks.
Protect and prime
We cover the walls and floor around the tub and apply a bonding primer.
Glaze
We apply the new finish in almond, biscuit or gray, with an exhaust fan running to remove paint smell.
Bathtub Refinishing vs. Replacement
Refinishing gives you a like-new tub for a fraction of the cost and time of a full replacement.

|---|---|---|

| Time | About 4 to 5 hours | Often several days |
