Bathtub Refinishing: Bring the New Life to Your Bathroom

If your bathtub is showing signs of wear including rust and other imperfections on the surface, it is time to refinish it. Refinishing your bathtub will transform the overall look and feel of the bathroom. The bathroom is a space to relax and enjoy a soak in the bathtub after a long day. If your tub is not aesthetically pleasing due to a worn, dirty, or damaged finish, then bathtub refinishing is the solution to your problem.

What could be the cost of Bathtub Refinishing?

The cost of refinishing depends on the extent to which it has deteriorated and its current condition. Replacing the original tub with a new one may be very expensive. Replacement is never a simple task, as it includes multiple trades including demo, plumbing, tilework, painting, and finishes carpentry. Replacement almost always opens a can of worms with unexpected issues and costs. It is better to opt for bathtub refinishing, giving you a fixed budget and achieving the same finish results within a few hours. In case of rust or cracks, get help from the JLF Tub and Tile Reglazing professionals who have the correct knowledge and expertise on how to repair the damages preventing future deterioration properly and effectively, extending the life of your bathtub.


Difference between professionals and second-rate refinishing work?

Bathtub refinishing will bring back your tub's original luster on all surfaces including porcelain, fiberglass, or cultured marble. Don’t be fooled by second-rate contractors or products on the market that promise results but never deliver. At JLF Tub and Tile Reglazing, we offer only the highest quality products and service, including an extensive and proven process that provides consistent results. Our process includes:

1.      Deep chemically cleaning of the bathtub surface, removing body oils, dirt and debris, that if not completely removed will prevent the bond between the surface and the new coating.

2.      Comprehensive evaluation of the surface, checking for imperfections like chips, cracks, etc. We make the necessary minor repairs ensuring the finish will be smooth in the end. Preparation is key, so this step is paramount in the process.

3.      Chemically etch porcelain surfaces, or hand sand fiberglass surfaces, ensuring the surface will have the best adhesion to the bonding agents/primers.

4.      Mask off and protect surrounding surfaces not being refinished.

5.      Apply both bonding agents and topcoats to the surfaces, leaving you with a smooth, shiny and beautiful finish that will last you for years to come.



Not all companies are the same, and not all processes produce a quality finish. This is why it's important to hire a professional team that ensures you will get the best bathtub refinishing job that will last for years. You can trust the experts at JLF Tub and Tile Reglazing to provide you with a quality and cost-effective finish every time.
