Ceramic tub reglazing with liquid acrylic is a technique to refresh your bathroom equipment by the technicians of the New York Tubs. Thanks to this method, the aged tub surface will once again become uniform in color and smooth to the touch, making it pleasant to use and more aesthetically pleasing to look at.
Liquid acrylic has been used for tub renovations for years and has already become a leader in this industry. Both professionals and consumers recommend this material, as it has proven itself to be economical, effective, and safe. Acrylic is environmentally friendly, which is confirmed by international certification. Using products after reglazing is completely safe for health.
Bathtub refinishing is suitable for working with different surfaces. It is used for repairing cast iron and steel enameled tubs.
The material is perfect for covering surfaces of any configuration, with intricate relief details that are difficult to repair by other methods.
This is possible due to the special, finely-tuned consistency of the liquid acrylic, its optimal viscosity, and ability to spread over the treated surface.
The working properties of liquid acrylic allow for a smooth and even surface that looks as good as new products.
A unique feature of this method is that airbrush or rollers are not used, which could create unnecessary texture or leave lint, as happens when spray painting bathtubs.
Dense and elastic, liquid acrylic covers any color changes of enamel, creating a surface of uniform white color.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ceramic tub refinishing?
Ceramic tub refinishing, often called reglazing, is a process that refreshes an old or damaged bathtub's appearance by cleaning, repairing, and applying a new coating, resulting in a shiny, renewed finish without replacing the tub.
Why should I consider refinishing my ceramic tub?
- restoring the appearance of an old or damaged tub;
- updating the look of your bathroom;
- saving money compared to purchasing a brand new tub;
- preserving the original tub, which may have historic or sentimental value.

To renew the bathtub we use liquid acrylic brand "Armoglaze".
The solidification time of the material is 24 hours.
The process is odorless, i.e. non-toxic.

The entire process of preparing and coating the bathtub with liquid acrylic takes around 3 hours (depending on the complexity of the work it can take up to 4 hours).
The time for the complete drying of the material is about 24 hours. During the work and subsequent hardening of the material, there is no smell.
How long does the reglazed finish last?
The reglazed finish should endure for 7 to 15 years with proper maintenance. It's essential to follow the reglazing company's maintenance advice in order to lengthen the finish's lifespan.
Can a tub be reglazed more than once?
Yes, in most cases there are no significant issues with refinishing a bathtub more than once. The bathtub might not be suitable for reglazing and would need to be replaced if it has sustained substantial damage or wear.
To choose the best course of action for your particular circumstance, it is always a good idea to seek expert advice.
Is ceramic tub reglazing a DIY project?
Ceramic tub reglazing is normally not a DIY project since it need for specific tools and expertise to prepare and refinish the bathtub's surface.

Advantages of Ceramic Bathtub Reglazing with ArmoGlaze
The aesthetics of a bathtub restored with acrylic freshens up the bathroom interior, making it more contemporary. This effect and appearance of the product remain unchanged during usage and withstand repeated daily use.
Liquid acrylic (ArmoGlaze) creates a durable coating on the tub surface that does not crack due to temperature changes or accidental impacts. Thanks to good adhesion, the material does not peel off, and its high strength prevents it from chipping.
Unlike spray, which quickly loses its appearance, an acrylic surface maintains its shine, uniformity, smoothness, and whiteness thanks to the absence of micropores. This property allows the material to repel contaminants and the finest impurities found in tap water. With proper care, a restored ceramic bathtub will look new and glossy for 10-15 years.
Technicians from the New York Tubs company recommend the service of ceramic bathtub reglazing with ArmoGlaze as the fastest refinishing method. For this method, the product does not need to be disassembled, which prevents damage to floor and wall coverings and also saves a lot of time.
An experienced technician familiar with the pour-on application technique can renew the surface in no more than 2-3 hours. The drying time for liquid acrylic also favorably distinguishes it from other painting materials. On average, this period is 24 hours, after which the tub can be used.
