Reglazing, also known as refinishing or resurfacing, is a highly effective and affordable method to restore your tub's original beauty, giving it a glossy finish, with most jobs finished in as little as one day. Save money, save time, and fall in love with your bathroom again.
What is Bathtub Reglazing? (More Than Just Paint)
Bathtub reglazing isn't a simple paint job. It's a meticulous process that involves professionally preparing your tub's surface and applying multiple layers of a specialized, high-performance coating. This finish chemically bonds to the original surface, creating a smooth, non-porous new look.

Our Professional Reglazing Process: Built for a Smooth, Glossy Finish
Achieving a smooth finish requires care, specialized equipment, and the right materials, far beyond what DIY kits offer. At Hudson Tubs, our meticulous process ensures outstanding results:

1. Area Protection & Ventilation: We carefully mask and protect your surrounding bathroom surfaces (tile, fixtures, floors) and set up powerful ventilation systems for safety and air quality.
2. Deep Cleaning & Decontamination: The tub surface is thoroughly cleaned using industrial-strength cleaners to remove soap scum, mineral deposits, body oils, and any contaminants that could interfere with adhesion.
3. Damage Repair: Chips, cracks, scratches, and other surface imperfections are repaired to create a smooth base.
4. Surface Etching & Bonding Primer: This is crucial. Unlike simple sanding (common in DIY), we etch the surface to microscopically roughen it. We then apply a bonding primer that links the old surface and the new coating, the key to preventing peeling.
5. Multi-Layer Spray Application: Using spray equipment, we apply the finish in multiple thin layers. Thin sprayed layers give a smooth, high-gloss finish that brush-on DIY kits rarely match.
6. Curing & Finishing: The coating cures to a smooth, glossy finish. We perform final checks before we leave.
7. Clean-up: We remove all protective coverings and leave your bathroom clean and ready for the newly reglazed tub to cure (typically 24-48 hours before use).

Why Reglaze? The Smart Alternative to Replacement & DIY
Choosing professional reglazing from Hudson Tubs offers significant advantages over ripping out your old tub or attempting a DIY project:

Key Benefits:

• Lower Cost: Reglazing typically costs far less than a full bathtub replacement.
• Fresh Look & Feel: Achieve a beautiful, high-gloss finish that revitalizes your entire bathroom.
• Less Mess: Reglazing avoids the demolition, plumbing work and mess of a full replacement.
• Convenient: Most jobs are finished in as little as one day, and the finish needs 24 to 48 hours to cure before the tub is used. Replacement can take days or weeks of messy demolition and installation.
• Reglazing keeps your existing tub out of the landfill.

The Pitfalls of DIY Kits: Why Professional Reglazing Wins
While DIY kits seem tempting for their low initial cost, they rarely deliver satisfactory long-term results. Common problems include:

• Peeling & Bubbling: Improper surface preparation and inferior bonding agents (often just basic sanding) lead to rapid coating failure.
• Short Lifespan: DIY epoxy coatings often fail early and need removal and re-application.
• Difficult & Messy Application: Achieving a smooth, even finish with brushes or rollers is extremely difficult, often resulting in drips and unevenness.
• No Warranty: If (or when) the DIY finish fails, you have no recourse.

Choosing Hudson Tubs means: An owner-operated business that comes to your home, meticulous preparation with etching and a bonding primer, a finish sprayed in multiple thin layers, and a written warranty on every reglaze.
How Much Does Professional Bathtub Reglazing Cost?
Every Hudson Tubs job starts with a free estimate and a flat-rate quote, and reglazing offers real value compared to replacement.

• Use non-abrasive liquid cleaners (like Dawn dish soap, Simple Green, or specific tub-safe cleaners).
• Avoid abrasive powders (Comet, Ajax), steel wool, or harsh scrubbing pads.
• Repair leaky faucets promptly to prevent staining or erosion.
• Do not use bath mats with suction cups, as they can trap moisture and damage the finish over time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How long does professional bathtub reglazing last?A: How well a reglaze holds up depends on care, so use non-abrasive cleaners. Every Hudson Tubs reglaze comes with a written warranty, and a professional finish is far less prone to peeling than a DIY kit.
Q: Is reglazing really worth the cost?A: Absolutely. Reglazing avoids the demolition, plumbing work and mess of a full replacement, and every job starts with a free estimate.
Q: What causes a reglaze to fail, and how do you prevent it?A: The most common cause of failure (especially with DIY) is improper surface preparation and poor adhesion. Hudson Tubs prevents this through meticulous cleaning, chemical etching (not just sanding), and applying a powerful bonding agent before the topcoats, for a strong bond. Using inferior materials (like basic epoxy) also leads to premature failure.
Q: Can you reglaze a tub that has already been reglazed?A: Yes, in most cases. We will need to strip the old, failing coating before proceeding with our professional reglazing process. This adds some time and cost but results in a fresh finish.
