Why Us
Why Choose Fifth Element Reglazing?
Focused, Not Generalist
We don't do remodels, plumbing, or tile installation — only surface refinishing. That single focus is why we're better at it than the handyman who does it occasionally between other jobs.
Save 60–70% vs. Replacement
A full bathtub replacement runs $3,000–$5,000 once plumbing, demo, and tile work are factored in. Our reglazing typically saves homeowners 60–70% of that cost — and you can use the bathroom the next day.
Built to Last 10–15 Years
We use industrial-grade chemical bonding agents and HVLP spray systems — the same technology used in factory-finishing. Not the DIY-kit "paint" that peels within two years.
