Our Process
Why our finishes last — and cheap ones peel
Reglazing lives or dies on preparation. Here is every step we take between arriving at your door and leaving you a fresh tub.
What happens when Hudson Tubs reglazes a bathtub?
Every reglaze follows the same steps, in the same order: the room is protected and ventilated, the tub is deep cleaned, chips, cracks and rust are repaired, the surface is etched and primed, the new finish is sprayed in thin layers, and it cures for 24–48 hours. Most jobs are finished in as little as one day, and every reglaze comes with a written warranty.
- 01
Protect & Ventilate
We protect the room and set up ventilation before any work begins.
- 02
Deep Clean
We deep clean the tub (and the sink or tile, if included).
- 03
Repair Damage
We repair chips, cracks and rust so the surface is ready for the new finish.
- 04
Etch & Prime
We etch the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- 05
Spray in Layers
We spray the new finish in multiple thin layers.
- 06
Cure
The finish needs 24–48 hours to cure before the tub is used.
How long until the tub is usable again?
The coating cures to a hard, high-gloss finish in 24–48 hours — we confirm the exact window before we leave. From there, simple non-abrasive care keeps it glossy; our FAQ and the care guide cover the three rules that matter.
