Cast Iron Tub Refinishing
Do you have a cast iron tub that is damaged or faded? Has it lost its original luster and is starting to show its age? There’s no need to tear it out and install a new one, with all the expense and inconvenience that comes with a remodeling project. Cast iron tub refinishing using the pour-on application method is a modern solution that gives you all the benefits of a like-new tub with none of the hassle. There’s no damage to the surrounding walls, floor or fixtures, so you’ll save both time and money.
Should I Refinish My Cast Iron Tub?
Cast iron is an exceptionally strong metal, so tubs made from it are reliable and durable. They last for decades without any damage to their structure. But the enamel surface that covers the tub is not so strong.
The factory coating on cast iron tubs is not very durable, and it can easily be damaged by normal daily use, as well as impacts from objects being dropped. Some enamels are weaker than others, and with use, they start to look worn-out and dull and can develop cracks, chips and peeling.
The thickness of the enamel also affects its performance. The thinner the coating, the weaker it is and the more prone to damage.
Although the cast iron base of the tub of the tub is strong and solid, the enamel surface can crack, chip, or lose its luster. Temperature changes can also cause damage, and it can absorb dirt and lose its clean, white surface.
A dull, worn-out or damaged bathtub detracts from the look of the entire bathroom, causing you to hide it behind a shower curtain or hesitate having visitors over to avoid embarrassment over the condition of your tub.
However, there is a simple, effective solution that’s also cost effective: bathtub reglazing with liquid acrylic using the pour-on application method. It restores your tub’s original brilliance with a tough, resilient coating that lasts for 10-15 years with proper maintenance.
Your cast iron bathtub is a great fixture, so restoring it is a smart option that offers numerous advantages over replacing it.

Tub Reglazing: DIY or Hire a Pro?
Bathtub refinishing involves coating the surface with liquid acrylic that is carefully mixed to exact specifications. The polymer material improves it appearance with a lustrous, snow-white finish. But the benefits go much deeper.
Discover how reglazing a cast iron bathtub using the pour-on method with acrylic improves your tub:
-
A smooth, flawless finish
-
Not as cold to the touch as spray-on enamel;
-
A uniform, even surface without bubbles, ridges or bare spots;
-
Crack, chips and peeling are completely repaired;
-
The finish lasts for 10-15 years with proper maintenance;
-
Enhances the look of your entire bathroom;
-
A strong, durable finish that’s impact- and microbe- resistant.
Spray enamel and liquid acrylic have distinct compositions and characteristics. Spray enamel is hard and brittle, which makes it prone to cracking and peeling. On the other hand, acrylic is flexible and pliable, so it resists damage from impacts as well as from wear and tear.
Liquid acrylic keeps its elegant sheen for many years without fading even when exposed to ultraviolet light, and its dense composition makes it resistant to dirt and rust from hard water. It also resists microbes, so it’s easier to keep clean.
Cast iron tubs are extremely heavy, so moving them is a major undertaking. Acrylic reglazing is a great investment because it allows you to renew your bathtub without the expense and inconvenience of removing and replacing it.
The process of expertly restoring a bathtub takes several hours and consists of various steps, some of which can be complex. The surface is prepared by removing the enamel and then sanding it until it is smooth. Any damage to the cast iron is repaired.
The dust is removed, and the surface is disinfected and degreased to assure maximum adhesion. Once the surface is completely prepared, liquid acrylic is applied using the pour-on method, and it is carefully spread out and leveled for a smooth, even finish.
Can you DIY the reglazing process? It is possible, but there are several drawbacks to consider:
-
Surface preparation can be a daunting task if you don’t have the needed knowledge and experience, especially if your tub is badly damaged.
-
Prepping the tub and applying the reglazing material can take longer and be more complicated than expected. The acrylic has a limited working time, so it’s important to do the job quickly and accurately.
-
Results may not be ideal. Any slip ups in the process can cause poor adhesion, an uneven surface, or reduced durability.
