Everyone wants to save money and there are many things that can be done by the doit-yourselfer. Bathtub reglazing is definitely not a project where the cost saving
benefit is worth it. The chemicals need to be handled by professionals, so the best
chemicals are not available to DIY’ers. The professionals at Blazing Plumbing and
Reglazing, mix ours on site as they harden. In addition, we spray through an HVLP
sprayer that heats the product to get a nice shine and the product will bond and fuse
together. The kits are brushed on and leave obvious marking and do NOT go on
smooth and shiny. You will not have the same look. The biggest problem we see is
that it simply does not adhere for very long. When this happens you have it peeling
and a big mess. By this time the average DIY’er will call us as the whole process was
difficult and they were not happy with the results. Now it is more costly because we
have to strip off that awful material for you to get the finish that looks like new. Now
you have just cost yourself a lot more money and aggravation. I have seen positive
online reviews, but cannot imagine that they are true based on the MANY jobs we have
done after homeowners. Call Blazing Plumbing and Reglazing first for a free phone

We have been serving the community for over 26 years. We are family owned and
operated with only highly skilled plumbers and technicians to serve our customers. The
bathtub reglazing process was developed in the 1950’s due to the inconvenience and
high cost of replacing a bathtub. Many people refer to the process as reglazing,
refinishing or resurfacing. The process and chemicals are essentially the same. The
difference only takes place depending on if it’s fiberglass, cast iron, acrylic or tile.
Fiberglass tub showers have to be sanded prior to refinishing. Cast iron or steel tubs
are prepped with a chemical so the new finish can adhere to the old. Having started
and still being a plumbing company, we can certainly replace a bathtub, but bathtub
reglazing is much more affordable. Any drips or leaks need to be repaired prior to
refinishing or the finish will be compromised. Our plumbing division can help with
that.
We reglaze your worn out or damaged bathtubs, sinks or showers versus replacement.
Will often save you more than 70%!!!! We can restore your bathroom or kitchen fixtures
in less than a day for a fraction of the cost of replacement with our quality service.
Our technologies provide long lasting refinished surfaces. If maintained properly, you
could expect 10-12 years worth of service from your refinished fixture.
In the case of a damaged fiberglass tub, we can repair cracks or holes and airbrush it
to match the tub or you may want to resurface the entire fixture for the best look.
Our technicians will exhaust fumes as much as possible. In order for the technician to
protect the area from over spray, items should be removed from counter tops, bathtub
and behind the toilet. The bathroom should also be swept to prevent any extra dust
or debris from settling in the surface. We offer a wide variety of reglazing services for
almost any surface in your bathroom or kitchen, including: Bathtubs, Showers, Tile,
Sinks, Counter tops, floors and Appliances.
