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 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 refinishing (also referred to as bathtub resurfacing or reglazing) is like giving an old tub a fresh coat of paint to make it look brand new.
However, it goes much deeper than just a surface coating. It’s a durable, long-lasting material that restores the original shine and smooth finish to your bathtub.
Why should I consider refinishing my steel tub?
You should consider refinishing because it’s a smarter, faster, and more cost-effective solution than a full replacement. You avoid the high cost and week-long mess of a major demolition.
Our premium pour-on method restores your tub’s surface to a flawless, high-gloss finish that is incredibly durable and, with proper care, can last for 7-15 years. The process is odorless and completed in just a few hours, with the tub ready for use in 24 hours.
What is the material?
We use an advanced liquid acrylic that is specifically designed for bathtub refinishing. Unlike traditional epoxy enamels, our material is odorless, non-toxic, and has near-zero VOCs, making the process perfectly safe for your family and pets.
Once cured, it forms a brilliant, high-gloss finish that is incredibly durable, non-porous, and resistant to impacts and household chemicals. Essentially, you get a beautiful, long-lasting surface without the harsh fumes.
How long does the reglazing process take?
The entire process is quick and convenient, typically taking around 3 hours. More complex jobs might take up to 4 hours.
The material requires about 24 hours to fully dry and harden before you can use your “new” bathtub.
- Minimal mess and disruption to your daily routine.
- Experienced professionals ensure a clean workspace.
Can a tub be reglazed more than once?
Yes, a bathtub can definitely be reglazed more than once, and with our premium pour-on method, you can expect exceptional results each time.
However, the key is the quality of the initial refinishing. Our durable, chip-resistant finish is designed to last for 7-15 years. If the previous reglazing was done poorly with inferior materials, multiple layers might compromise the final result.
For the best advice on your specific situation, we offer a free, no-obligation evaluation. We’ll assess your tub and recommend the most effective solution.
How long does the reglazed finish last?
With proper care, your professionally reglazed bathtub will look brilliant for 7 to 15 years.
Our advanced pour-on method creates a thick, durable bond that lasts several times longer than inferior spray-on paints and is highly resistant to peeling and chipping. Following our simple care instructions is the key to maximizing its lifespan.
Is steel tub reglazing a DIY project?
Bathtub reglazing requires specialized skills, professional-grade materials, and precise application. For these reasons, it’s not recommended as a DIY project.
To ensure a flawless, durable finish and avoid costly mistakes or damage to your tub, it’s best to trust experienced professionals like us. Our proven pour-on method, applied by skilled technicians, guarantees a high-quality result that will last for years.
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 material 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 the pour-on material, 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 coating is thicker than spray-on 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 the pour-on method 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.
