3 Keys For Choosing A Bathtub Reglazing Company

You have made the decision to go the bathtub reglazing route. So, what next? How do you choose the right


company. At Tuff Tub Refinishing, we get it. Let's walk through a few important points to consider when choosing a bathtub reglazing company!

Which One?

You do not need to replace your bathtub, shower, sink or countertop. With advanced technology in bathtub refinishing methods, you can save thousands of dollars.

Even if you have cracks, rust, or holes in your tub, shower, countertop or sink – a bathtub reglazing company can help fix it. Here are three key ideas to consider when choosing:



  1. Licensed and insured. If the company is not trained professionally and insured, it could mean a lot of headaches in the long run.
  2. Cheapest is not best. There are two ways of looking at the word "cheap": less costly and low quality. Many companies will lowball quote to get their foot in the door. They might not have the proper skills, or be licensed and insured. Perhaps, they might hit you with "extra" costs on the backend.
  3. DIY. With the surge of online instructional videos and the bulging amount of knowledge, many folks think they can do just as good as the experts – with a spray gun, a sander, and a you tube video! Do you really want to potentially ruin your tub, just to save a few bucks? Think of the time you will have to take off, and the low likelihood that the hardware store "tub in a can" will actually work.

This is so that they can work with your budget and specific needs.  Throughout the process, we know what we are doing, and why we are dong it.

It had old coating with a rusty drain. Tuff Tub Refinishing knows how to cautiously and carefully perform tub resurfacing "surgery."

Bathtub – Prep

As you can see with this old cast iron tub, its paint job has seen better days. The first step in tub reglazing is to prep for the primer. With peeling paint, we sand down the old surface.

Cast Iron Tub – Prime

Paint serves two purposes in a cast iron tub repair and reglaze. One, it ensures a watertight seal. Two, it gives you a "prescription." Personal choice of color, makes you the king or queen of your bathroom!
