Your Bathroom Looks Brand New — Now Keep It That Way
You’ve just had your bathtub or tiles reglazed, and your bathroom looks incredible. To make sure your new surface stays glossy, durable, and beautiful for years to come, proper aftercare and maintenance are essential.
At Reglazing NYC, we provide not only expert refinishing services but also the guidance you need to extend the life of your investment.

🕒 Wait Before Using Your Reglazed Surface
After reglazing, your bathtub or sink coating needs time to cure properly.
- ⏳ Wait at least 24–48 hours before using the bathtub or shower.
- 🪟 Keep the bathroom ventilated to help the coating harden evenly.
- 🚫 Avoid placing mats, bottles, or soap on the surface during curing.
🧴 Use Gentle, Non-Abrasive Cleaners
Harsh cleaners can damage the glossy finish. To keep it pristine:
✅ Use mild liquid cleaners such as:
- Dish soap (like Dawn or Palmolive)
- Vinegar + water mix
- Soft Scrub (non-abrasive version)
🚫 Avoid: - Bleach, ammonia, or acids
- Abrasive powders or steel wool
- Magic Erasers (they can dull the shine)
Simply wipe your tub or tiles with a soft sponge or microfiber cloth — no scrubbing needed.
🚿 Regular Cleaning Keeps It Shiny
Clean your reglazed surfaces once a week to prevent soap scum buildup.
A quick rinse and gentle wipe will maintain that brand-new look and protect the coating for years.
If you live in NYC with hard water, consider using a water softener spray to reduce mineral spots on the surface.
🧰 What to Avoid After Reglazing
To ensure the finish lasts 10–15 years, avoid these common mistakes:
- ❌ No suction-cup mats or bath pillows — they pull the coating loose.
- ❌ Don’t drop heavy objects into the tub.
- ❌ Avoid leaving wet washcloths or bottles sitting for long periods.
- ❌ Don’t use bath bombs or dyes directly on the surface — they can stain.
💡 Pro Tip: Add a Protective Wax Coating
Once your reglazed tub is fully cured, apply a carnauba-based polish every few months.
This adds an extra protective layer, enhances shine, and makes cleaning even easier.
Why Maintenance Matters
Proper care can double the lifespan of your reglazed surface — saving you hundreds in future repairs or replacements.
At Reglazing NYC, our coatings are designed to last, but your maintenance routine ensures they stay strong and beautiful over time.
