FAQ

1. What exactly is reglazing?

Reglazing, also known as refinishing or resurfacing, is a meticulous process of restoring and revitalizing the surface of an object by applying a new coating. This not only repairs chips, cracks, and discoloration but also enhances the overall aesthetic, providing a cost-effective alternative to replacement.

2. How long does the reglazing process typically take?

The duration of the reglazing process varies based on the size and condition of the object. Typically, it takes 3 to 5 hours for application, followed by a curing period of 48 hours, offering a swift transformation.

A reglazed bathtub can last for many years with proper care and maintenance. On average, you can expect the reglazed surface to last around 10 to 15 years before any signs of wear and tear appear.

5. Is reglazing the same as painting?

No, reglazing stands apart from painting. It involves a specialized process encompassing cleaning, repairing, and applying a durable coating specifically designed for various materials. This chemical bonding ensures a resilient, long-lasting finish that painting alone cannot achieve.

While DIY reglazing kits exist, achieving the best results often requires the expertise of professional reglazing services. DIY attempts may pose challenges and might not deliver the same level of quality, durability, and expertise as a professional job.

7. How do I maintain the glaze?

To uphold the brilliance of your newly reglazed surfaces, whether it's a bathtub, shower, sink, or counter, avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Opt for mild, non-abrasive cleaners and refrain from using abrasive scrubbing tools. Regular, gentle cleaning is key to preserving the reglazed surface.
