Will Bathtub Reglazing Fix a Worn-Out Tub?

Posted on: March 29, 2024 by theadmin

If you have ever seen the reglazing process in action, you know that it is like magic. Bathrooms are an essential space within your hotel or apartment complex and because of that, it is crucial that you keep it modern, clean, and up to date. Over time, you will find that the fixtures in your bathroom wear down and start to show signs of wear, especially when it comes to the tub. 

That once beautiful, silky, and shiny white tub is now sporting a yellow tint and has both chips and other areas that are peeling. Guests and tenants do not want a tub that looks ugly or outdated, so it is up to you to make sure yours does not. 

The beautiful process of bathtub reglazing can transform your bathtubs right before your eyes in a cost-effective manner. 

What Does a Worn-Out Tub Look Like?

Gradual deterioration of your bathtub’s surface will occur over time and can look different from tub to tub. Cracks, peeling, chips, stains, and holes can all occur. Fortunately, tub reglazing is able to correct these issues and once reglazed, leave you with a tub surface that is flawless. 

What Can I Expect from the Bathtub Reglazing Process?

The process of reglazing your tub is completed in multiple steps, but all steps are completed on the same day. By choosing to have your tub reglazed, you do not have to worry about the removal of the tub. Below, we will quickly go over what to expect from the reglazing process:

  1. Preparation of the Surface – This is where our refinishers will clean the surface and prepare it to receive the coating. At this time, repairs to the tub will be made as well. 
  2. Etching and Priming of the Surface – Once the cleaning and repairs have been done, our refinishers will etch and then prime the surface to prepare it for coating. It is important that the etching process is completely correct to ensure that the new coating adheres to the tub. 
  3. Reglazing of the Surface – Now is when the bathtub will be reglazed. The coating will be applied to the tub using a spray process. It is possible that your tub may need more than one coating. Once the coating has been applied, it will need time to dry.
