How Long Does Bathtub Reglazing Really Last?

May 07, 20252 min read

You’ve seen the ‘after’ pics—but how does it look a year or five years later?

If you're investing in reglazing your tub, you’re probably wondering how long the results will hold up. After all, it looks amazing when it’s fresh—but will that finish stand the test of time?

Let’s break down what really determines the lifespan of a reglazed bathtub, how you can make it last longer, and when it might be time for a touch-up.

 

Quick Story…

A customer once asked me, “Is this just a quick fix, or is it going to last?”
That stuck with me—because it’s a fair question.

The truth is, bathtub reglazing can last 10 to 15 years—even longer—if it’s done right and maintained well. So let’s talk about what really makes the difference.


Tip 1: It Starts with the Prep and Products

Think of it like painting a wall—if you skip the sanding or use cheap paint, it won’t last.

The same principle applies here:

  • Proper surface prep ensures a strong bond between your tub and the new finish.

  • High-quality coatings resist wear, staining, and peeling.

  • Skilled application guarantees a smooth, sealed surface that stands up to years of use.

“We spend time on the prep and use pro-grade coatings, so you get a finish that’s built to last—not flake in a year.”

 

Tip 2: How You Treat It Matters

Once the reglazing is complete, how you care for it has a big impact on longevity.

Here’s what helps:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners.

  • Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia.

  • Be careful with suction-cup bath mats—they can trap moisture and damage the coating over time.

“Treat it with love. That small stuff—like using the right cleaner—makes a big difference over the years.”

 

Tip 3: Expect 10–15 Years, But Plan Ahead

Most clients see 10–15 years of life from their reglazed tub. But this depends on the household—high-traffic bathrooms, rentals, or homes with small kids may see more wear.

The good news? You don’t always need a full redo.

“If down the line it needs a refresh, just do a quick touch-up. It keeps your tub looking great without a major expense.”
