Our Step-by-Step Clawfoot Tub Reglazing Process

Clawfoot tubs are freestanding and often made of cast iron with porcelain enamel coatings. Restoring them properly requires a tailored approach. Here’s how we get it right:

1. Complete Surface Cleaning & Stripping
   We begin by removing all surface grime, residue, and old finishes, ensuring a clean base for refinishing.
   
2. Rust Treatment & Structural Repairs
   Surface rust is treated and neutralized. We patch chips, cracks, and pitting using specialized fillers, sanding the surface perfectly smooth.
   
3. Etching & Bonding Agent Application
   The enamel is etched to create surface tension, then coated with a high-performance bonding agent to lock in the new topcoat.
   
4. Precision Spray Reglazing
   Using HVLP spray equipment, we apply multiple coats of our commercial-grade enamel. The result is a consistent, glass-like finish on both the interior and (optionally) exterior.
   
5. Curing & Final Inspection
   After 24–48 hours of curing, we perform a final inspection to ensure every curve of your tub is gleaming and ready for years of use.
   

We also offer exterior color customization and restoration of claw feet in chrome, gold, or painted finishes.

Why Reglaze Instead of Replace?

Clawfoot bathtubs are heavy, often cast iron, and integrated into historic home designs. Removing them requires tile work, plumbing adjustments, and significant labor. Reglazing offers the same aesthetic improvement without the headache:

• Preserves Character – Keep the original vintage design and historic detail.
  
• Faster Turnaround – Most reglazing projects are completed in a single day.
  
• Significant Cost Savings – Reglazing is 60–75% less expensive than replacement.
  
• Eco-Friendly – Avoid sending a usable tub to the landfill.
  
• Color Flexibility – Customize the interior, exterior, and feet for a fully personalized result.
