Pour-On Application Method
Your bathtub can last a long time with proper care and maintenance. However, over time it may need repair or replacement due to damage, staining and fading, or wear and tear. Replacing it can prove to be a time-consuming and costly process. Besides the cost of the fixture itself, labor costs for removal and installation, and the expense of repairing adjacent walls and floors, it can take a considerable amount of time and cause a lot of inconvenience. All these difficulties can be avoided with a simple, effective solution: bathtub reglazing with liquid acrylic using the pour-on method.
Bathtub reglazing refinishes the surface of the tub by coating it with a protective coating to restore its original shine, smoothness and luster. There are two main options for refinishing material: epoxy enamel and liquid acrylic.
ENAMEL VS. ACRYLIC: WHICH IS BETTER?
Epoxy enamel has been around for a long time and is still in use due to its ease of use. It can be applied with a brush or roller and provides satisfactory results.
Two-component epoxy enamel has a dense texture and is resistant to moisture, so that makes it suitable not only for bathroom fixtures such as tubs and shower pans, but also swimming pools.
Enamel coating improves the appearance of the fixture because it coats the surface with a glossy finish; however, if there is deep damage it cannot penetrate beneath the surface to smooth it out.
In addition, enamel does not provide the most durable finish. The coating quickly loses it gloss, absorbs dirt, and starts to crack and peel. Although the upfront cost is low, the short lifespan ends up costing more in the long run because the results do not last.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is bathtub reglazing?
Bathtub reglazing (also referred to as bathtub resurfacing or refinishing) is like giving an old bathtub a fresh coat of paint to make it look brand new.
For refinishing using epoxy enamel, it can take up to 24 hours to finish the job and costs between $50 and $150 for a DIY kit or $350-$650 for a professional finish. If there are chips or cracks, the top layer must be removed and a new substrate needs to be placed to stop corrosion.
How long does refinishing with liquid acrylic take?
We can often start the work the day following our receiving the request, but due to our workload it’s best to schedule the process 1-2 days in advance.
On average, the process takes 3-4 hours for our professional technician to finish the job, and the total curing time is 24 hours. The process is safe and odorless, both during the application and while drying.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
We are proud to stand behind our work with a 100% quality guarantee of 5 years. However, the professionally reglazed finish typically lasts even longer; the manufacturer states that the finish can last 7 to 15 years with proper maintenance.
ADVANTAGES OF THE POUR-ON APPLICATION METHOD
Bathtub reglazing with liquid acrylic using the pour-on method is the most advanced and effective way to renovate your tub. Even the most badly damaged fixtures can be renewed and restored to like-new condition, with a smooth, white finish.
Liquid acrylic hides surface imperfections, leaving a sleek, elegant finish. But it goes deeper than just a coating. Unlike spray-on enamel, it fills in deep cracks and ridges and evens out the surface.
The result is an elegant, glossy finish that makes your tub look like new and feel like an elegant spa experience.
Liquid acrylic is strong and durable. It resists impacts from daily use and dropped objects (such as shampoo bottles). On the other hand, spray-on enamel is hard but fragile, and in a short time its surface becomes brittle and it starts to crack and peel.
Siquid acrylic’s solid but pliable composition keeps it from fading, chipping, or cracking. Other refinishing materials are no match for Its dense, resilient finish.
Liquid acrylic is safe for the environment and for people. There is no danger to your family or pets during the reglazing process or afterward.
It is odorless with a zero VOC status and does not cause allergic reactions, so there is no need to vacate your residence while work is in progress. Epoxy enamel is just the opposite; it has a strong chemical odor that requires users and residents to take precautionary measures, and the strong smell can linger for days.
Liquid acrylic is ideal for refinishing bathtubs because of its resistance to microbes, dirt and hard water. These substances won’t penetrate the surface and ruin the finish.
It’s easier to keep clean without having to use harsh chemicals, and it’s more hygienic. The finish stays glistening, snow-white and germ-free with minimal effort.
Reglazing your tub with acrylic using the pour-on application method is the most cost-effective option. The procedure is affordable even on a limited budget. Both professional refinishers and property owners report that reglazing can last for 15 years, or even longer.
This figure may vary based on various factors, including the frequency of use and the consistency of maintenance, but liquid acrylic lasts significantly longer than other types of bathtub refinishing methods.
Liquid acrylic is suitable for all types of bathtubs. It has superior adhesion to different materials, so it is ideal for bathtubs of all shapes and sizes.
It can be used on bathtubs that have been in use for decades, as well as modern hot tubs and shower trays. The pliable, fluid formula covers the surface evenly and smoothes any bumps, ridges or cracks, leaving a flawless finish.
