If you’re considering reglazing, you might be wondering about the process itself. At G&G Tub & Tile Reglazing, we pride ourselves on a meticulous, multi-step process that ensures a high-quality and long-lasting result. We believe in transparency, so here is a detailed breakdown of what you can expect when our professional team comes to your New York City home.

Step 1: The Initial Preparation

The foundation of a great reglazing job is a perfectly prepared surface. Our EPA Lead-Safe certified technicians begin by thoroughly cleaning the area. We remove all traces of soap scum, hard water stains, mildew, and any old caulk or peeling finishes. This step is critical because any residue left behind can compromise the adhesion of the new coating. We also protect your surrounding fixtures, walls, and flooring with drop cloths and masking tape to ensure no overspray.

Step 2: Repair and Smoothing

Once the surface is clean, we carefully inspect it for any imperfections. Chips, cracks, and other damage are expertly filled and sanded to create a smooth, uniform surface. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that the final finish is flawless and beautiful. We believe that a quality reglazing job is about more than just a new coat of paint—it’s about restoring the surface to its original integrity.

Step 3: The Primer and Adhesion Layer

After the surface is prepped and repaired, we apply a specialized primer. This is a crucial step that ensures a strong, molecular bond between the original surface and the new topcoat. This primer is what makes our reglazing finish incredibly durable and resistant to peeling. Our proprietary formulas are designed for maximum adhesion, giving you peace of mind that your investment will last.

Step 4: The Final Finish Application

This is the step where the magic happens. Using professional-grade spray equipment, we apply multiple thin, even coats of our high-quality acrylic urethane finish. This finish is specifically formulated for the demands of a high-moisture environment like a bathroom. It creates a hard, glossy, and non-porous surface that is easy to clean and maintain. The entire application process is done with proper ventilation to ensure safety and a perfect finish.

Post-Reglazing Care

The final step is allowing the new finish to cure. We typically recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours before using the newly reglazed surface. We’ll provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your new finish to ensure its longevity. With a bit of simple, non-abrasive cleaning, your reglazed tub, tile, or sink will look stunning for years to come.
