If you’re considering reglazing your bathtub, one of the most important questions you probably have is: How long will it last?

The great news is that a professionally reglazed bathtub can last 10 to 15 years or more—if it’s properly maintained. At Reglazing NYC, we use industrial-grade materials and proven techniques to ensure a finish that’s both beautiful and long-lasting.
What Affects the Lifespan of a Reglazed Bathtub?
1. Surface Preparation:
A successful reglazing job starts with meticulous preparation. We remove all soap scum, debris, and old coatings to ensure strong adhesion. Skipping this step leads to peeling and premature wear.
2. Application Techniques:
Our technicians use spray application methods to evenly coat the tub with primer, bonding agents, and the final topcoat. This gives a smooth, glossy finish that resists chips and cracks.
3. Quality of Materials:
We use only the best resurfacing products in the industry. Cheaper DIY kits may only last a couple of years, but our professional-grade solutions offer long-term durability.
4. Proper Aftercare:
With good habits, your reglazed surface will stay in excellent condition:
- Use non-abrasive, pH-neutral cleaners
- Avoid dropping heavy objects into the tub
- Never use suction-cup mats or harsh chemicals
When to Consider Re-glazing Again
Over time, even the most well-maintained reglazed tub may show signs of wear. The finish may dull or show minor discoloration. At this point, a touch-up or another round of reglazing can bring it back to life.
