Bathtub reglazing can peel when the prep is poor or moisture gets under the finish. Harsh cleaners, suction mats and standing water can also cause lifting.
We deal with failing coating before spraying. At home, clean gently, wipe dry and fix drips. If you see an edge lifting, send a photo before it spreads.
Use a non-abrasive liquid cleaner on a reglazed bathtub, with a soft cloth or sponge. Skip scouring powder, steel wool, bleach-heavy products and acid cleaners.
Rinse off the cleaner and wipe dry. Don't mix cleaning chemicals or attack a stubborn mark with an abrasive pad.
Don't use suction-cup or rubber bath mats on a refinished tub. They hold moisture against the finish and can pull the coating loose.
Ask us about a slip-resistant bottom before the job. If you're unsure about an accessory, check with us before using it.
Will a reglazed tub turn yellow?
A reglazed bathtub can yellow or stain as it ages, especially with deposits, trapped moisture or the wrong cleaners. Gentle cleaning and good care help keep the finish looking fresh.
If a mark won't come off, send us a photo before reaching for strong bleach or an abrasive pad.
Can a chip in a reglazed tub be repaired?
A chip in a reglazed tub can often be spot-repaired if the finish around it is still bonded well. Widespread peeling or ongoing rust may need a full refinish.
Send one close-up and one photo of the whole tub. We'll check the surrounding finish and talk through the color match. A spot repair may show in some lighting.
Our refinishing comes with a 5-year written warranty against peeling and lifting under normal use with proper care. The warranty page explains the coverage and what can damage the finish.
Keep your receipt and care guide. If something looks wrong, send us photos before trying to repair it yourself.
