Plan the workday and the cure time without surprises.

A standard bathtub takes about 3 to 5 hours to reglaze on site. A tub and tile surround takes longer, often a full day.
Stripping and extra repairs can extend the visit. The coating still needs time to cure after we leave.
Tip from Sergey: For a rental turnover, leave the cure window before move-in.
Wait 24 to 48 hours before using a refinished tub or shower, and follow the time we give you for your job. Dry to the touch doesn't mean ready for a bath.
Bathtub reglazing smells strongest while we're spraying. It's mostly gone by the next day with good ventilation.
We run exhaust ventilation while we spray. Keep kids, pets and everyone else out of the work area until we tell you it's fine.
Don't use smell alone to decide when it's safe to go back in.
You may need to leave the house during bathtub refinishing, depending on ventilation, the layout and who's at home. Everyone needs to stay out of the work area.
Tell us about asthma, pregnancy, kids or pets before the appointment. We'll talk through where people can stay and when it's safe to return. Don't judge that by smell alone.
Kids, pets and pregnant people should stay away from bathtub refinishing fumes and the work area. Tell us about your household before we schedule the job.
We need water for bathtub prep and electricity for our equipment and ventilation. Please let us know if either utility is disconnected.
Clear the path to the bathroom and make ventilation access available. For a vacant rental, check the utilities before the appointment.
Before bathtub refinishing, clear the bathroom and fix dripping faucets. We need a clear path, water, power and access for ventilation.
Send a photo of your tub, shower or tile. Start with a price from home.
