Most bathtubs in Santa Clarita homes were installed when the house was built, and many Valencia, Saugus and Canyon Country neighborhoods date to the 1970s through the early 2000s. That means a lot of almond, pink and avocado tubs, worn-through porcelain and fiberglass that has gone dull and chalky. Bathtub reglazing fixes all of it without tearing out the tub.
Reglazing, also called bathtub refinishing or resurfacing, bonds a new, high-gloss coating to your existing tub. The result looks and feels like a brand-new fixture, costs a fraction of replacement, and is ready to use in about 24 hours.
Which bathtubs can be reglazed?
- Porcelain-on-steel tubs. The most common tub in Santa Clarita tract homes. Chips, rust spots and worn enamel are repaired before coating.
- Cast iron tubs. Heavy, original tubs in older Newhall homes that are far too costly to remove. Reglazing keeps them in place.
- Fiberglass and acrylic tubs. Faded, scratched or cracked units are repaired and recoated. See our fiberglass enclosure reglazing page for one-piece tub and shower units.
- Clawfoot and soaking tubs. Interior and exterior refinishing, including color changes.
- Jetted and garden tubs. Large tubs that would cost thousands to replace are a perfect fit for reglazing.
Problems bathtub reglazing solves
- Stains and discoloration that won't scrub out
- Chips, cracks and rust around the drain and overflow
- Rough, worn or etched surfaces that are hard to keep clean
- Outdated colors: almond, pink, blue, green, harvest gold
- Previous DIY refinishing kits that peeled or bubbled
- Slippery tub floors (ask about our slip-resistant texture)
Our bathtub reglazing process
- Inspect and repairWe fill chips, cracks and rust spots so the base is perfectly smooth before any coating goes on.
- Deep clean and prepSoap scum, silicone and old caulk are removed. The surface is etched for adhesion and the bathroom is fully masked off with ventilation in place.
- Bonding primer and topcoatA commercial-grade bonding agent is applied, followed by multiple sprayed coats of a durable, high-gloss finish.
- Cure, re-caulk and hand-offWe clean up, re-caulk the tub, and walk you through care. Your tub is ready to use in 24 to 48 hours.
Every reglazed bathtub is warrantied for 2 years against peeling, bubbling and loss of adhesion. We've been doing this in Santa Clarita for over a decade, so we stand behind the work.
Reglazing vs. replacing a tub in Santa Clarita
Replacing a bathtub means demolition, hauling, plumbing, new surround tile, permits and several days without a working bathroom. In Santa Clarita, a full tub replacement commonly runs $3,000 to $8,000 or more. Reglazing delivers the same fresh look for a fraction of that, with no demolition and no mess.
