Frequently Asked Questions

What is bathtub refinishing?

Bathtub refinishing is the process of restoring the existing surface of a worn, stained, damaged or outdated bathtub. Rather than removing and replacing the tub, the surface is professionally prepared, repaired as needed and refinished with a new coating that restores its appearance and provides a smooth, durable finish.

Is reglazing the same as bathtub refinishing?

Yes. Bathtub refinishing, reglazing and resurfacing are commonly used to describe the same basic process of restoring the surface of an existing bathtub. Professional refinishing goes well beyond simply painting a bathtub and requires proper surface preparation, specialized materials and professional application.

How long does bathtub refinishing last?

A professionally refinished bathtub can provide many years of use when the surface is properly maintained. The lifespan of the finish depends on factors such as the condition of the original tub, frequency of use and how it is cleaned and cared for. The Best Refinishing Company backs its bathtub refinishing work with a five-year warranty.

Is bathtub refinishing worth it?

For a bathtub that is structurally sound but worn, stained, chipped or outdated, refinishing can be an excellent alternative to replacement. It can dramatically improve the appearance of the tub at a fraction of the cost and without the demolition, plumbing work and disruption that can come with removing an existing bathtub.

Can chips and minor damage in a bathtub be repaired?

Yes. Chips and other minor surface damage can often be repaired as part of the refinishing process. Properly repairing damaged areas before applying the new finish helps create a smoother, more uniform final surface.

Can cast iron tubs be refinished?

Yes. Cast iron bathtubs are excellent candidates for professional refinishing. Older cast iron tubs are often extremely durable, making refinishing an attractive option when the tub itself remains in good condition but the porcelain surface has become worn, stained, chipped or outdated.

Can fiberglass bathtubs be refinished?

Yes. Fiberglass bathtubs can be professionally refinished to restore worn or discolored surfaces and give the tub a fresh appearance. Fiberglass requires the proper preparation and refinishing materials to produce a durable, attractive result.

Why does bathtub paint peel?

Peeling is often associated with improper surface preparation, unsuitable coatings, moisture problems or previous DIY bathtub painting. Professional bathtub refinishing involves thoroughly preparing the existing surface and using specialized refinishing products designed to bond to the bathtub. Proper cleaning and maintenance afterward are also important for protecting the new finish.

What is liquid porcelain?

Liquid porcelain is the professional refinishing material used by The Best Refinishing Company to create a smooth, durable and easy-to-clean new surface. Unlike consumer bathtub paint or DIY refinishing products, our liquid porcelain enamel is a professional product that is not available to consumers.

How long does bathtub refinishing take?

Most bathtub refinishing projects can be completed in just a few hours, depending on the condition of the bathtub and whether repairs are needed. Refinishing avoids the demolition and reconstruction associated with removing and replacing an existing bathtub.

How soon can I use my bathtub after refinishing?

The Best Refinishing Company recommends waiting at least 48 hours before using or getting your newly refinished bathtub wet. Nothing should be placed on the refinished surface during this initial curing period.

How should I care for a refinished bathtub?

Clean your refinished bathtub with non-abrasive spray, foam or liquid cleaners and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, chemical acids, steam cleaning and power washing. Adhesive stickers, appliques and bathmats that remain against the refinished surface should also be avoided. Proper care helps preserve the appearance and longevity of the new finish.
