Top Bath Tub Refinishing related questions
Yes. Bathtub resurfacing costs far less than replacement and restores your tub’s look, comfort, and safety with minimal disruption.
It includes deep cleaning, surface repairs, bonding agent application, multiple coating layers, and curing, all typically done in one day.
Both terms refer to restoring a tub without replacing it, but resurfacing usually involves the full process of repair and coating, while refinishing may focus more on restoring the top layer.
Most jobs are finished in 4 to 6 hours, depending on damage, tub type, and any extra repair work.
Tubs are usually set within 24 hours but need up to 3 days to fully cure for long-term durability.

What do professional bath resurfacing services include?
A bathtub resurfacing service isn’t just a quick spray job. It’s a detailed process designed to bring your old tub back to life without the mess or cost of full renovations. Here’s what you can expect when you hire a Tasker:
Initial prep
Your Tasker will start by prepping the area. That includes removing old caulking if needed, masking off fixtures like faucets and tiles, and giving the tub a deep clean. They’ll scrub off grease, soap scum, limescale, and anything else that could affect how the coating sticks.
Surface repair
Next, they’ll fix up any damage. Cracks, chips, scratches, and worn spots are filled and smoothed out. This step is important for a clean, seamless finish, especially if your tub is older or has been resurfaced before.
Bonding process
Before applying any coating, a bonding agent or primer goes on. This helps the new surface layer properly stick to the tub, even in porous or previously damaged areas. Most Taskers use industrial-grade bonding systems, the same type used in aviation and marine work.
Resurfacing
Here’s where the transformation happens. Your Tasker will spray on multiple layers of enamel, polyurethane, or other specialized coatings. This is what gives your tub that glossy, like-new finish. Bath tub resurfacing restores the look without the cost or hassle of ripping out your old tub.
Finishing up
Once the coating is cured, the masking materials are removed, the surface is polished if needed, and caulking is reapplied for a clean, waterproof edge.
Curing time
Most tubs are ready to use within 24 hours. Some coatings cure even faster—around 6 to 8 hours, depending on the material used.
Optional extras
You can ask for anti-slip coatings, color matching, or even custom shades. Some providers offer over 900 colors. Some Taskers also resurface sinks, vanities, or shower pans if you want to match the whole setup.
Aftercare and support
You’ll receive clear care instructions and, in most cases, a written warranty. If chips show up later, some providers offer repair services to fix them.
