Steel Tub Refinishing
Steel is an extremely durable metal, so bathtubs made with it last a very long time, even decades. However, the enamel coating that is often used on them is not so strong or durable.
The lifespan of the enamel coating on steel bathtubs depends on several factors, including how often it’s used, how well it’s maintained, whether it’s been damaged by the impact of objects being dropped, and even the characteristics or quality of the steel itself.
The thickness of the tub itself also affects how long the enamel lasts. The thinner the steel, the more likely it is to bend or dent under pressure or with an impact. The enamel coating is hard but also brittle, so any type of dent or damage in the steel can compromise the enamel finish.
You may notice that the sleek, white finish on your steel bathtub doesn’t last as long as you expect. Enamel is prone to cracking and peeling, and it doesn’t stand up well to changes in temperature. It tends to absorb dirt and rust, so over time it gets stains and starts to fade and lose its shine.
A worn-out, stained or damaged bathtub can spoil the look of your entire bathroom.
Removing and replacing your steel bathtub is an expensive, time-consuming project. Both labor and materials are costly and can run into hundreds or even thousands of dollars. In addition, you run the risk of damaging the surrounding walls and floor – and possibly even the door frame – which adds to the expense.
There’s also the inconvenience of not being able to use your bath while the work is in process. It’s no wonder that many property owners cringe at the thought of replacing their ugly tub and end up putting off doing anything about it.
However, there is a simple, inexpensive alternative that avoids all the drawbacks and inconveniences: bathtub reglazing with liquid acrylic using the pour-on method. It’s a great option to save time, money and hassle. There’s no need to dismantle and replace the bathtub; everything stays intact, and the results are both beautiful and long-lasting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is steel tub reglazing?
Bathtub reglazing (also referred to as bathtub resurfacing or refinishing) is like giving an old bathtub a fresh coat of paint to make it look brand new. However, it goes much deeper than just a surface coating.
Before the reglazing material is applied, the surface is cleaned, any chips, cracks or damage are repaired, and it’s sanded until smooth. The acrylic is applied using the pour-on method, and you get a durable, long-lasting finish that restores the original radiant, smooth finish to your bathtub.
Why should I consider refinishing my steel tub?
Reglazing a bathtub is a more affordable and practical option than replacing it, which can be expensive and time consuming. It gives exceptional results with minimum hassle.
In addition, if you want to change the color of your tub, refinishing is an excellent option.
What is the material?
The liquid acrylic material we use is ArmoGlaze, which is safe for you, your children, and the environment, with near zero VOC status. It solidifies and is ready to use in 24 hours. The material and process are odorless and non-toxic during application and after.
This technology has been used since 2011 with outstanding result.
How long does the reglazing process take?
The entire process of preparing and reglazing the bathtub is quick and convenient, normally taking around 3 hours (depending on the complexity of the work, more complex cases may take up to 4 hours).
The time required for complete drying and hardening of the material is about 24 hours. During the work and subsequent hardening time, there is no smell. Since there is no demolition or extensive renovation, there is much less mess and disruption to your daily routine. Our experienced, professional technicians take the utmost care to leave the work area clean and neat when they finish.
How long does the reglazed finish last?
The professionally reglazed finish should last for 7 to 15 years with proper maintenance. It’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s required maintenance instructions in order to extend the lifespan of the finish.
Our pour-on method lasts several times longer than spray-on techniques and resists peeling.
Can a tub be reglazed more than once?
Yes, in most cases there are no issues with refinishing a bathtub more than once. However, if the bathtub has sustained substantial damage or wear, it might not be suitable for reglazing and may need to be replaced.
It’s best to consult with an expert for the best advice for your particular circumstances. Contact us for a free professional evaluation.
Is steel tub reglazing a DIY project?
Bathtub reglazing requires specific tools and expertise as well as a considerable amount of time, effort and attention to detail. For that reason, it’s generally not a DIY project.
To guarantee that the job is done right and to prevent damage to your tub, it’s advisable to hire a professional refinisher. Our proven pour-on application system performed by experienced technicians assures you will be satisfied with the high-quality outcome.
Advantages of Reglazing Your Steel Bathtub
To reglaze a bathtub, the technician prepares the surface by removing the enamel coating and repairing any damage. The liquid acrylic is carefully mixed using precise measurements to ensure consistency and a flawless finish. The mixture is applied using the pour-on method, and the result is a smooth, like-new finish that’s both beautiful and durable.
There are numerous benefits to choosing to reglaze your tub instead of tearing it out and replacing it. Here are just a few:
-
Cost effective
There are no labor costs for removal or disposal of the old tub. Walls, floors and doorways are not damaged because the tub stays in place during the process, eliminating repair costs. It doesn’t require a whole crew of construction workers, so it’s much more affordable. The reglazed finish is more durable than the original enamel, saving you even more money.
-
Environmentally friendly
The materials are non-toxic and odorless with a zero VOC status, so it’s safe for you, your family and your pets. There’s no fixture to dispose of, so it doesn’t add to the burden of already overloaded landfills.
-
Convenient
You don’t have to vacate the premises during the process. There is very little down time since work takes only about 3-4 hours on average, and your tub is dry and ready to enjoy in about 24 hours. This is faster than any other refinishing method.
-
Durable
The finish is strong and resilient. Damaged tubs can be repaired with liquid acrylic, and it lasts several times longer than the original enamel due to its unique formulation that makes it dense but also pliable. With proper maintenance, it lasts an average of 7-15 years, but in some cases it can last up to 20 years or even longer.
-
Beautiful
The refinished tub has an elegant shine, and it stays radiant for years because it resists stains, fading, cracks, peeling and chipping. The acrylic coating is thicker than enamel, so it has a smoother feel. And since it retains heat better than enamel it’s warm to the touch. A reglazed bathtub brightens up the entire bathroom and makes it feel relaxing and inviting, like your own personal spa.
Bottom line: Reglazing your steel bathtub with liquid acrylic is a cost-effective, durable, and eco-friendly solution that delivers stunning, long-lasting results. It’s a hassle-free way to restore the beauty and functionality of your tub while avoiding the expense and disruption of a full replacement.
