Refinishing Services & Reglazing

Reglazing offers a quick and effective solution for enhancing various types of tubs and sinks, including porcelain, acrylic, cast iron, metal, and fiberglass. Within just a few hours, we can transform the appearance of your bathtub or sink. Our services include changing the color, repairing blemishes, fixing chips, polishing, and reglazing, resulting in a pristine, like-new finish.

Following the reglazing process, your bathtub or sink will boast a shiny, fresh appearance, instantly revitalizing your bathroom. The glossy, smooth surface not only looks fantastic but is also easy to maintain and can endure for years with proper care.

Reglazing is particularly beneficial for cast iron sinks, laundry tubs, older mop sinks, and pedestal sinks. However, we advise against reglazing kitchen sinks due to the frequent impact from cutlery and cookware, which the glaze may not withstand. At Bathtub Reglazing Service, we prioritize the longevity and durability of our reglazing services, ensuring your satisfaction and the longevity of your fixtures well into the future.

Sink Reglazing Services

Refinishing a sink presents a fantastic option, particularly for cast iron sinks, laundry tubs, old mop sinks, and even bathroom pedestal sinks. Over the years, changes in shapes, sizes, and materials can make it challenging to find a similar sink that fits the space. If there are no significant issues with the sink, such as rust, and it lacks plastic or metal lips, refinishing is the way to go. This process allows for color changes, fixes for small blemishes or imperfections, ultimately brightening up your bathroom. Once refinished, the sink will gleam with a smooth surface that’s easy to maintain.

However, we at Bathtub Reglazing Service advise against refinishing kitchen sinks. The glaze used in this process isn’t designed to withstand the impact of cutlery and other kitchen utensils. While refinishing paints and chemicals are safe for surfaces used for bathing or washing, they shouldn’t be used in food preparation areas. Nonetheless, we’ve successfully refinished cast iron kitchen sinks previously reglazed. The key is that these sinks were already treated, and the owners were familiar with caring for them in a kitchen environment.

Tile Resurfacing & Tile Reglazing

Resurfacing tub surround tiles can be seamlessly integrated with bathtub resurfacing or undertaken independently. The resurfacing process closely mirrors that of bathtubs and sinks, with the key difference lying in the larger surface area, necessitating more time, preparation, and paint.

Opting for tile resurfacing offers numerous advantages over replacement:

• No need for tile removal, hence no messy demolition.
• Can be concurrently done with bathtub resurfacing or as a standalone project.
• Seals grout, preventing it from loosening or dislodging.
• Easily conceals mold or mildew, eliminating associated risks.
• Tiles can be painted and sealed without demolition mess, brightening the bathroom in less time than replacement.

Before initiating the reglazing process for wall tiles, certain considerations should be addressed:

• Address any cracked, loose, chipped, or missing tiles before refinishing.
• Re-grout any loose or missing grout before tile refinishing.
• Fill holes left by removed door frames or towel bars ideally before refinishing.
• If replacing the toilet, it’s advisable to do so after refinishing and once the paint has dried.

Revitalized bathroom space efficiently and without the hassle of full replacement.
