Bathtub reglazing is an affordable and helpful solution to update your bathroom and make it more modern. Below, you will find some of the most common FAQs related to tub reglazing.
How long will my tub last after it is reglazed?
One of the most commonly asked questions is how long the tub will last once it has been reglazed. The answer is – it varies. In most cases, your tub will last a long time but for you to be able to get the most time out of it, you will need to make sure you properly care for it.
Why should I reglaze my tub?
It can be expensive to replace your tub and reglazing the tub solves a few issues. First, it is cost-effective and will save you money. Next, it will save you time as it does not take but a few hours to complete and then about 24 to 48 hours to dry. Lastly, you avoid taking other risks such as breaking tiles when the tub is removed.
Should I prep my bathroom before the contractors come to my home?
The contractors will prep the area that they will be working in, so you do not have to take any steps to prepare it. However, you can remove items from the countertops should you want.
Can I use my tub right away after it is reglazed?
No. You will need to wait anywhere between 24 to 48 hours before you can use your tub. The glaze needs to properly cure and dry, which will happen over this time period.
What is the difference between refinishing and reglazing?
None. The terms are used interchangeably and mean the same thing.
Will the process of reglazing my tub harm me or my family?
No. The process is not harmful to humans or to animals, which makes it safe for use in your home. Your bathroom will be properly ventilated and also sealed off for the contractors to work inside of it. This lessens any chemical smell in your home too.
How should I care for my newly reglazed tub?
- Do not store your open shaving creams, shampoos, soaps, or any other products on the rim or tub
- Do not use bath mats that have suction cups on them
- Avoid harsh chemicals such as bleach or ammonia
- Do not spill any liquid drain cleaner on the surface
- Keep sharp objects away from the glaze
