Frequently Asked Questions About Bathtub and Tile Reglazing

Question:
Is the term "reglazing" the same as "refinishing"?
Answer:
Reglazing is a term most often used by refinishers in the porcelain and tile refinishing industry to describe the new surface applied to an old bathtub or shower fixture upon completion of the refinishing process. It is often interchanged with the words refinish, refinished or refinishing.

Question:
Is the new finish the same as the original finish?
Answer:
No. The original porcelain or ceramic tile surface is baked at temperatures up to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. That is why the surfaces are so hard and scrub resistant. It's impossible to heat any new coatings at those temperatures without disintegrating the surrounding home. However, the ever evolving chemical industry is continuously discovering new formulas that provide new coatings that are "porcelain and ceramic like". While not yet as hard as a factory baked porcelain or ceramic finish, it is the finish that can take the abuse and through normal use give your old bath or shower many added years of good and beautiful use.

Question:
How long does it take to refinish a bathtub?
Answer:
Depending on the condition of the tub, anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. That's one of the great benefits of refinishing/reglazing instead of replacing. The works all done in less than a day, at a fraction of the cost and none of the mess.

Question:
When can we use the tub after it has been refinished?
Answer:
24 hours after completion of the job.

Question:
What colors are available?
Answer:
We can match any Kohler, American Standard or Bemis color. We can also custom color match any color of your choice.
