How We Reglaze Cast Iron Bathtubs

Restoring a cast iron tub requires a tailored approach. These heavy, enamel-coated tubs need proper prep and specific bonding materials to ensure long-lasting results. Here’s how we do it:

1. Assessment & Surface Cleaning
   We begin by stripping old coatings and removing grime, soap buildup, and surface residue.
   
2. Rust Neutralization & Repairs
   Rust is sanded away and neutralized. Chips, cracks, and pitting are filled with durable, high-strength compounds and sanded smooth.
   
3. Etching & Bonding Layer
   We etch the surface with a specialized solution to open pores and apply a premium bonding agent to ensure the new coating fully adheres.
   
4. Spray-On Topcoat Application
   Multiple coats of a low-VOC, enamel-based topcoat are applied using professional spray equipment to ensure a smooth, even finish.
   
5. Curing & Final Inspection
   The coating cures over 24–48 hours. After curing, we perform a full inspection to confirm the finish is flawless, sealed, and built to last.
   

Why Reglazing Is the Smarter Choice for Cast Iron Tubs

Cast iron tubs are built to last for generations, but their enamel surface can become worn or damaged. Reglazing restores that surface without losing the structure beneath. Here’s why it’s the better option:

• Saves You Thousands – Reglazing is up to 75% less than replacement.
  
• Preserves Original Style – Keep the elegant look of your vintage tub intact.
  
• Minimal Disruption – No need to demolish tile, alter plumbing, or remove heavy fixtures.
  
• Fast Turnaround – Most reglazing jobs are completed in a single day.
  
• Eco-Friendly – Avoid the landfill and restore instead of discard.
