Bathtub Re-enameling? — Brooklynian

Bathtub Re-enameling?

Does anyone know about this? Has anyone done it? The tub in my crib is kinda yucky so I n ever want to take a bath. I was thinking about just replacing the tub but then a friend told me about the re-enameling but didn't have any info on it really. I guess my 2 main questions are how much does it cost and is it good/worth it or is it better to just get a whole new tub?

  • I reglazed, but more than 10 years ago, to an old clawfoot tub. As they warn you, it's a little prone to scratching, but I'm really glad I did it - it still looks good. It cost around $200 at the time.

    Some guy with arms like tree trunks came and sanded down my old tub by hand. Then he coated it with goo and hit it with french fry lights to bake on the finish. A day later, shiny and new.

    You can't use abrasives to clean it, and they warn you off small children that bang stuff in the tub. I put a towel down when I wash the dog.

    Here's resources (I don't remember who did mine, too long ago)

    like I said, that was a long time ago . . .
  • I used these people when I renovated my bathroom last year. My neighbor used them also. I was quite satisfied. So was my neighbor.

    Bathroom Reglazing 877-241-5140. If you pay cash they don't charge tax.
    They give you a warranty. The price was 335.00.
