If your bathtub looks stained, chipped, or outdated—but replacing it seems too expensive or time-consuming—bathtub reglazing could be your perfect solution. At Crowned Diaz MN, we specialize in professional bathtub refinishing across Minnesota, offering homeowners an affordable, fast, and stunning upgrade without the hassle of full replacement.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through what bathtub reglazing is, the step-by-step process, its benefits, and how much you can expect to pay in 2025.
Bathtub reglazing, also known as tub resurfacing or refinishing, is the process of applying a new finish to the surface of an existing bathtub. Rather than tearing out your old tub, professionals repair surface damage and apply a high-quality glaze that makes it look and feel brand new.
It’s a smart choice for tubs made of:
Porcelain
Fiberglass
Acrylic
Cast Iron
Here’s how the reglazing process works when done professionally by experts like Crowned Diaz MN:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Inspection | We assess your tub’s condition and surface type. |
| 2. Deep Cleaning | Dirt, soap scum, and stains are thoroughly cleaned. |
| 3. Surface Repairs | Chips, cracks, and holes are repaired using special fillers. |
| 4. Etching | We sand or etch the surface to help the glaze bond. |
| 5. Priming | A bonding agent or primer is applied. |
| 6. Reglazing | Multiple coats of durable epoxy or acrylic urethane are sprayed. |
| 7. Curing | Tub is left to dry and cure for 24–48 hours. |
Here’s why Minnesota homeowners are turning to bathtub refinishing more than ever in 2025:
Replacing a tub can cost between $1,500–$5,000. Reglazing, however, typically costs between $350–$600, making it a budget-friendly upgrade.
Our reglazing process takes just 4–6 hours, with a 24–48 hour drying period—no long renovations or plumbing work needed.
Avoid sending your old tub to the landfill. Reglazing reuses your existing fixture, reducing environmental impact.
Want a fresh white finish? Or a soft gray tub to match your modern bathroom? Reglazing offers color customization options.
With proper care, a reglazed bathtub can last 10–15 years—just like a new one!
Minnesota’s weather, hard water, and older home styles mean tubs wear out faster. Many homes in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and suburbs like Minnetonka or Apple Valley still have beautiful tubs that just need a face-lift.
Instead of spending thousands on remodels, homeowners trust Crowned Diaz MN to bring their bathroom back to life—fast and affordably.
Here’s a breakdown of typical pricing:
| Service | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| Standard Tub Reglazing | $350 – $600 |
| Chip & Crack Repair | +$50 – $100 |
| Tile Surround Reglazing | +$200 – $400 |
| Color Change | Included or +$50 |
| Anti-slip Finish | Optional +$25 – $50 |
⚠️ Note: Prices may vary depending on tub condition, material, and color selection.
