Reglazing isn't something most people do more than once, so the questions are usually the same — how long it takes, what it costs, whether it'll hold up. Below are the answers Luke gives out over the phone every week, written down so you don't have to ask.
36–48 hours. The surface is fully cured and safe for normal use by then.
02
10–15 years when it's done right with industrial-grade materials. DIY kits typically fail within 1–3 years — the gap comes down to prep work and product quality, not just the coating itself.
03
Cast iron, fiberglass, acrylic, porcelain, and steel.
04
Any color can be ordered through a Sherwin Williams color match. Most homeowners land on white or almond, but you're not limited to those.
05
Reglazing typically runs $500–$1,000 and takes a single day. A full replacement runs $2,000–$5,000+ and comes with demolition, disrupted tile and plumbing, and days or weeks without a working bathroom.
06
Yes — there's odor and fumes while the coating is applied. We run an exhaust fan to vent it, and the smell typically clears within a few hours of finishing.
07
It's optional, not required. Sensitivity to the smell varies — some people stay, some step out. Either way works.
08
Almost always one of three things: skipping the post-job care instructions, using the wrong cleaner (harsh or abrasive cleaners wear the coating down), or poor bathroom ventilation.
09
Clear the bathroom so we can work without interruption, and remove any loose bottles or soaps from the tub or shower area.
