Bathtub & Tile Reglazing in Los Angeles

Replacing a worn bathtub in an occupied building means demolition, plumbing, tile work, and thousands of dollars. Reglazing gets the same visual result — a glossy, clean, like-new surface — in a single visit, at roughly a tenth of replacement cost. That's why nearly every turnover we do in older LA housing stock includes a reglaze.

Our reglazers prep properly: acid etch, chip and rust repair, masking, and a sprayed multi-coat finish. The difference between a reglaze that lasts seven years and one that peels in seven months is entirely in that prep, and it's where rushed crews cut corners.

Surfaces we reglaze

  • Porcelain and cast-iron bathtubs
  • Fiberglass tubs and shower pans
  • Ceramic wall and shower tile
  • Bathroom sinks and vanities
  • Kitchen and bathroom countertops
  • Chip, crack, and rust spot repair before refinishing

How it works

Step 1

Quote from photos

A couple of photos of the tub or tile is enough for a firm price — no site visit needed for standard reglazes.

Step 2

One-visit refinish

Prep, repair, and spray happen in a single visit. The bathroom is masked off and ventilated; the rest of the unit stays usable.

Step 3

Ready in ~24 hours

The new surface cures overnight and can be used the next day — which is why we sequence reglazing before final cleaning on every turnover.

Frequently asked questions

How much does bathtub reglazing cost in Los Angeles?

A standard tub reglaze in LA typically runs $350–$550. Adding surrounding wall tile or repairing significant chips and rust adds to that. It's almost always 80–90% cheaper than replacing the tub.

How long does a reglazed tub last?

With proper prep and normal use, 5–10 years in a rental. Avoiding abrasive cleaners and not letting standing water sit against the surface extends its life.

Can you reglaze over a previously reglazed tub?

Yes — old coatings get stripped or sanded back first. Failing previous reglazes are common in older LA buildings and don't prevent a proper refinish.
