What Process Is Involved in Bathtub Resurfacing?
Our tub resurfacing company executes the following steps to renew your bathtub:
Step 1 - Bathroom Preparation
The initial step of the bathtub refinishing process is site preparation. Walls, floors, sink, toilet, windows, and other surrounding areas need to be protected.
Step 2 - Tub Cleaning
The second step involves cleaning the bathtub thoroughly and removing the bath faucet, drain fittings, and other hardware.
Step 3 - Tub Repair
It is followed by the third step which involves fixing any damages, such as cracks, chips, rusts, and burns, on the tub. Chips and cracks are filled in, rusts are cleaned out, and burns are sanded down and filled in.
Step 4 - Tub Sanding
The fourth step calls for lightly sanding the entire bathtub to roughen the original finish. In some cases, the tub may also be etched with acid to help the new coating adhere. The sanded and etched tub is then vacuumed to remove any debris.
Step 5 - Tub Primer
The fifth step is the application of primer. This is done using airbrush technology to achieve a clean look.
Step 6 - Tub Coating
And the sixth and final step is the application of the final coating. The final coat can be in white, bone, or a custom-mixed color.
The entire bathtub refinishing process usually takes a couple of hours to complete and the bathtub can be used the same day.

Can I Resurface My Bathtub Myself?
While it is possible for you to paint your bathtub, most homeowners lack the proper equipment, commercial coatings and training to correctly resurface their tub. Here are a few reasons why resurfacing your own tub isn’t something you should take on:
- In order for reglazing to last, a proper sanding, acid wash and commercial coating product need to be used. Homeowners don’t typically have access to these supplies. Without the proper preparation, tub paint won’t bond permanently. It will peel soon.
- Proper resurfacing requires correct wet sanding equipment and coating spray tools to complete the job. Homeowners don’t usually have these in their shed.
- The local hardware store or online shop will often charge $100-$150 for tub and tile painting kits. And, since you’ll also need to rent and learn how to use commercial equipment to do it right, the time and money savings end up being zero when you take this on yourself.
In the end, it will save you a lot of grief, frustration and funds to just hire it out.
How Much Does Bath Resurfacing Cost?
In the Northeast part of the country, bathroom resurfacing services will typically cost a few hundred dollars for the tub alone; definitely far less than what you will spend to install a new tub when you factor in the cost of the bathtub, the cost of labor for tub removal, the cost of the dumpster to discard the tub and the cost of delivery and installation. Adding on tile, showers, sinks or countertops will naturally increase the investment. For a specific quote on your tub, call us today.
