Frequently Asked Questions: Bathtub Refinishing in Chicago & Milwaukee

How much does bathtub refinishing cost in Chicago?

Bathtub reglazing with BathtubSolution costs $350-450. Replacing a tub usually costs over $5,600 once you add demolition, a new tub, plumbing, tile work, permits and flooring.

How long does bathtub reglazing take?

The work takes about 4 hours, depending on the condition of the tub. You can use the bathtub 24 hours after we finish. Full cure takes 5-7 days.

Is bathtub refinishing better than replacement?

For most tubs, yes. Refinishing costs $350-450 and you are without a tub for 24 hours. Replacement costs over $5,600 and takes 5-7 days. We refinish the tub in place, with no demolition or plumbing work.

Does the reglazing smell? Is it safe?

We use an odorless, non-toxic two-component epoxy coating designed for bathtubs. It is self-leveling and about five times thicker than standard spray coatings.

How long does a refinished bathtub last?

With proper care, the coating lasts about 10 years.

What warranty do you give?

3 years for private residences and 2 years for rental properties, covering peeling or adhesion failure of the coating. Caulk, plumbing and shower doors are not covered.

How do I care for a refinished tub?

Do not use the tub for 24 hours after refinishing. Clean it with non-abrasive cleaners without bleach or chlorine, let the surface dry between uses, and do not leave bath mats on it.
