Clawfoot Tub Refinishing
When the finish on your clawfoot tub wears out, replacing it can be expensive and time-consuming. Refinishing your clawfoot tub using the pour-on method with acrylic reglazing material is a simple, affordable alternative that gives excellent results.
Clawfoot tubs evoke feelings of glamour and relaxation. They make bathing an indulgent and luxurious experience. But over time, the surface can become stained and lose its luster, or it can be damaged by dropped objects.
The unsightly surface of the tub can detract from the look of the whole bathroom. Removing and replacing a clawfoot tub can be very expensive, as well as time-consuming. Clawfoot tubs are large and heavy, so moving them is a difficult process.
But there’s a simple, cost-effective solution that gives your tub a like-new finish that’s both beautiful and durable: reglazing using pour-on liquid acrylic. Liquid acrylic is a leading-edge product that provides many benefits for property owners that want to renovate their clawfoot bathtubs:
-
Liquid acrylic has excellent adhesion to a number of surfaces, including enameled metal, artificial stone, and acrylic. This strong bond keeps the surface from peeling or cracking.
-
The thick, pliable consistency allows it to be evenly distributed over the surface, leveling it out and preventing ridges, bubbles and bare spots.
-
Damage on clawfoot tubs can be repaired using the pour-on method with liquid acrylic, bringing back a like-new condition.
-
Stains, yellowing, rough surfaces, cracks, chips, cracks and peeling can all be repaired using liquid acrylic, with excellent results.
-
The smooth, lustrous surface is also durable. With proper care and maintenance, it can last for 7-15 years.
A newly reglazed finish on your clawfoot tub will breathe new life into your bath and spruce up the look of the entire room.
How much does it cost to refinish a clawfoot tub?
The price of professionally refinishing a clawfoot tub can vary depending on several factors, including the location of the residence, the size of the tub, and the type of refinishing material used. The average price is between $400 and $500, which is just a fraction of tearing out an old clawfoot tub and purchasing and installing a new one.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is clawfoot tub refinishing?
Clawfoot tub refinishing is the process of restoring and updating the surface of an old, cast iron clawfoot bathtub. This typically involves removing the existing finish, repairing any damages or imperfections, and applying a new finish to give the tub a fresh and updated look.
Why should I consider refinishing my clawfoot tub?
Reglazing a bathtub is a more affordable and practical option than replacing it, which can be expensive and time consuming. It gives exceptional results with minimum hassle.
In addition, if you want to change the color of your tub, refinishing is an excellent option.
What is the material?
The liquid acrylic material we use is ArmoGlaze, which is safe for you, your children, and the environment, with near zero VOC status. It solidifies and is ready to use in 24 hours. The material and process are odorless and non-toxic during application and after.
This technology has been used since 2011 with outstanding result.
How long does the reglazing process take?
The entire process of preparing and reglazing the bathtub is quick and convenient, normally taking around 3 hours (depending on the complexity of the work, more complex cases may take up to 4 hours).
The time required for complete drying and hardening of the material is about 24 hours. During the work and subsequent hardening time, there is no smell. Since there is no demolition or extensive renovation, there is much less mess and disruption to your daily routine. Our experienced, professional technicians take the utmost care to leave the work area clean and neat when they finish.
How long does the reglazed finish last?
The professionally reglazed finish should last for 7 to 15 years with proper maintenance. It’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s required maintenance instructions in order to extend the lifespan of the finish.
Our pour-on method lasts several times longer than spray-on techniques and resists peeling.
Can a tub be reglazed more than once?
Yes, in most cases there are no issues with refinishing a bathtub more than once. However, if the bathtub has sustained substantial damage or wear, it might not be suitable for reglazing and may need to be replaced.
It’s best to consult with an expert for the best advice for your particular circumstances. Contact us for a free professional evaluation.
Is porcelain tub reglazing a DIY project?
Bathtub reglazing requires specific tools and expertise as well as a considerable amount of time, effort and attention to detail. For that reason, it’s generally not a DIY project.
To guarantee that the job is done right and to prevent damage to your tub, it’s advisable to hire a professional refinisher. Our proven pour-on application system performed by experienced technicians assures you will be satisfied with the high-quality outcome.
The reglazed surface of a clawfoot tub can last for more than 10 years and maintain its radiant white surface without yellowing or dulling. The dependable, long-lasting finish is one of the main benefits of liquid acrylic, making it an excellent investment. It’s resistant to chips and cracks, as well as to microbes and water stains.
Maintaining Your Refinished Clawfoot Tub
Keeping your clawfoot bathtub clean and disinfected is much easier after it has been reglazed with liquid acrylic. The dense property of the material means that it’s non-porous, so it won’t absorb dirt, rust, lime scale, soap scum and microorganisms. You won’t need strong chemicals to keep it clean and germ-free; all you need is just a mild cleaner and a soft sponge.
To keep your refinished clawfoot tub looking its best and protect your investment, follow these tips for maintenance:
-
Clean it regularly: Use a gentle cleaner designed specifically for refinished surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubberss.
-
Avoid excessive moisture: xcessive moisture can cause the finish to deteriorate, so use a bathmat and keep the tub as dry as possible. Remove the bathmat after use so the surface of the tub can dry completely.
-
Protect the finish: Use a high-quality sealer specifically designed for refinished surfaces to protect the surface and extend its lifespan.
