How Tub Reglazing Works
Old caulk and hardware come off first. The tub gets deep-cleaned, then etched or sanded so the coating has something to bond to. Chips and cracks are repaired with filler, everything around the tub is taped and masked, and three coats of epoxy go down followed by three coats of acrylic enamel.
Tub Reglazing Cost, Timeline & Lifespan
Cost: $500-$1,000
A fraction of what a full tub replacement runs.
Job Time: 4-5 hours
Most tubs are done start to finish in a single visit.
Cure Time: 36-48 hours
The surface needs this long to fully harden before use.
Lifespan: 10-15 years
With industrial-grade materials and proper prep.

How to Prepare for Your Appointment
A Few Minutes of Prep Now Saves Time on Job Day.
Clear the Bathroom
Anything left in the room risks getting overspray on it once the epoxy goes on — clearing the space protects your things and lets us work without stopping.
Remove Bottles & Soap From the Tub
Soap residue is one of the main reasons a coating fails to bond — a fully clean surface is what makes the 10-15 year finish possible.
Keep Pets Out of the Work Area
The exhaust fan clears most odor within a few hours, but pets are more sensitive to it than we are. Please keep them away during work hours.
