Reglazing is a common term used by customers more than by the industry itself. It is used as a descriptive term for bathtub refinishing, which is the process applied to old bathtubs and sinks to repair the surface and attempt to replicate the look and feel of porcelain. This is accomplished using materials that cure to a very hard finish and are an effective replacement for the original porcelain glaze, and is done in place in the home, as reglazing does not require the application of heat in a kiln like real porcelain does. It has become a very popular solution for bathroom and kitchen surfaces. Properly done, reglazing is fast, surprisingly durable, inexpensive as compared to remodeling or replacing fixtures, and it is available in any solid color and even stone-like speckled finishes are available.
