Tub Refinishing Done Right - Full Strip, Repair, and Reglaze

A tub that's been neglected long enough gets to a point where no amount of scrubbing fixes it. Rust around the drain, grime that's worked its way into the surface, a finish that's worn down and rough - that's exactly what we were dealing with here. It wasn't just a cosmetic issue. It needed real work before any coating could go on.

Here's the thing about tub refinishing that a lot of people don't realize - the prep is everything. We stripped the surface down completely, assessed what was underneath, and made the necessary repairs before touching the glaze. Skipping that step is how you end up with a finish that peels or bubbles within a year. We've seen plenty of those jobs come through after someone else cut corners.

Once the surface was properly prepped and repaired, we applied a permanent nonslip coating to the floor of the tub. That's not just an aesthetic choice - it's a safety one. Then came the reglazing, done in a controlled, methodical way to get that clean, smooth, high-gloss finish that actually lasts.

The difference between a tub refinished correctly and one that isn't usually shows up within the first few months of use. When it's done right, the surface holds up to daily use, cleans easily, and keeps looking sharp. That's the standard we hold ourselves to on every single job - no exceptions.

If your tub is at that point where it looks rough no matter what you do, it doesn't have to stay that way. A proper tub refinish is a fraction of the cost of replacement and, when done correctly, gives you results that are genuinely hard to tell from new.
