FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is bathtub reglazing?
It is a professional process where we deep-clean, repair, and apply a new industrial-grade coating to your tub’s surface. Unlike DIY kits, our method uses chemical bonding agents that fuse the new finish to the old one, creating a factory-like look.
How long does the reglazing process take?
The actual work typically takes between 4 to 6 hours. However, the surface needs time to cure. You can usually start using your bathtub again just 24 hours after we finish the job.
How much money can I save by reglazing instead of replacing?
On average, homeowners in the Durham area save between 70% and 80% with reglazing. A full replacement involves demolition, plumbing costs, and tile repair, which can easily exceed $3,000, while reglazing is a fraction of that price.
Does the new finish look painted on?
Not at all. When done professionally by Fifth Element Reglazing, the finish is smooth, high-gloss, and mimics the look of original porcelain or acrylic. We use specialized spray equipment to ensure there are no brush marks or uneven areas.
How long will my newly reglazed tub last?
With proper care and maintenance (avoiding abrasive cleaners), a reglazed bathtub can last 10 to 15 years. We provide every client with a “Care & Maintenance” guide to ensure maximum longevity.
Can you reglaze a tub that has already been reglazed before?
Yes! We can strip the old, peeling finish and apply a fresh, professional coating. This is a common request for older homes in Durham neighborhoods like Trinity Park or Old West Durham.
