urious about how bathtub reglazing actually works? Here’s a detailed breakdown of our professional reglazing process at Reglazing NYC. Each step is designed to maximize durability, beauty, and customer satisfaction.

Step 1: Inspection & Setup

We begin by assessing the condition of your tub and protecting surrounding surfaces. Floors, walls, and fixtures are masked off to prevent overspray.

Step 2: Surface Cleaning

We deep clean the bathtub to remove any grime, soap scum, or mineral buildup. This ensures the new finish bonds properly.

Step 3: Chip & Crack Repairs

All chips, scratches, and small cracks are filled with industrial-strength filler and sanded smooth.

Step 4: Acid Etching (if needed)

This step helps with bonding, especially on porcelain tubs. It roughens the surface slightly to help the primer adhere better.

Step 5: Primer & Bonding Agent

We apply a high-performance bonding agent and primer to ensure the new coating fuses securely to the original surface.

Step 6: Topcoat Application

Using a spray gun, we apply several layers of a durable, glossy topcoat in your chosen color. This is what gives the tub its shiny, like-new finish.

Step 7: Curing & Ventilation

The tub is left to dry and cure, often with the help of industrial fans and ventilation systems. The curing process is essential for a hard, resilient finish.

Step 8: Final Inspection & Cleanup

We carefully inspect the job for smoothness, color accuracy, and any imperfections. Once everything checks out, we clean up and remove the protective coverings.

In just one day, your old tub will be transformed into a modern, gleaming centerpiece of your bathroom.
