Questions we answer every week
Straight answers about reglazing costs, fumes, care, and scheduling — no sales pitch attached.
Reglazing Basics
What exactly is bathtub reglazing? +
Reglazing (also called refinishing or resurfacing) restores your existing tub instead of replacing it. The surface is deep-cleaned, repaired, chemically etched, and bonded, then sprayed with multiple fine layers of premium acrylic polyurethane. The result is a smooth, non-porous, high-gloss finish — not a paint job. See our 7-step process for every step.
Is reglazing really cheaper than replacing the tub? +
Significantly. A full tub replacement means demolition, plumbing and tile work — and takes days or weeks. Professional reglazing costs a fraction of replacement and is usually finished in a single day.
How long does a reglazed finish last? +
With simple, non-abrasive care, a professionally applied finish lasts many years. Every Hudson Tubs reglaze is backed by a written warranty.
What surfaces can you refinish? +
Porcelain, fiberglass, cast iron, acrylic, cultured marble, and ceramic tile — bathtubs, tile walls and surrounds, and sinks alike.
Can you change my tub's color? +
Yes — a color change uses the exact same process as a reglaze with a tinted topcoat. Pink, avocado, harvest gold, and powder blue tubs come out crisp modern white (or any tone you choose) in one visit.
The Day of Service
How long does the work take? +
Most tubs are reglazed in as little as one day.
When can I use the tub again? +
The coating cures to a hard, resilient, high-gloss finish in 24–48 hours. We'll confirm the exact time before we leave.
Is the process safe? What about fumes? +
We mask the surrounding room and set up professional ventilation before any spraying starts — it's the first of our seven steps. The workspace is contained, and we leave the bathroom spotless. Neat work, no mess left behind.
Do I need to do anything to prepare? +
Just clear personal items from the tub area and make sure we can reach the bathroom. We handle masking, ventilation, repairs, and cleanup.
Pricing & Warranty
How does your pricing work? +
Flat-rate pricing — you get one honest, upfront number before we start, and that's what you pay. Every service starts with a free estimate. See Pricing & Savings for how reglazing compares to replacement.
Do you offer any discounts? +
Yes — repeat clients receive exclusive discounts. Current offers are on our Promotions page.
Is the work warrantied? +
Every reglaze carries a written warranty. If a properly cared-for finish fails, we make it right.
How do I care for a reglazed tub? +
Use non-abrasive cleaners (no scouring powder or steel wool), skip suction-cup bath mats, and wipe the tub down after use. That simple routine is what keeps the finish glossy for many years.
