Understanding Cast Iron Tub Resurfacing
Renewing your bathroom doesn’t always have to mean costly renovations. This is where cast iron tub resurfacing comes into play.
What is Cast Iron Tub Resurfacing?
Cast iron tub resurfacing, also known as refinishing or reglazing, is a process that restores your old, worn-out cast iron tub to its former glory. It involves cleaning the tub thoroughly, repairing any damage, and applying several layers of primer and paint, resulting in a shiny, new-like finish.
Why is Cast Iron Tub Resurfacing Necessary?
Over time, cast iron tubs can develop chips, scratches, and stains that detract from their appearance. Moreover, outdated colors can make your bathroom look dated. Resurfacing not only eliminates these defects but also allows you to change the color of your tub, giving your bathroom a refreshing makeover.
How Resurfacing Differs from Full Replacement
Unlike full replacement, which involves removing and disposing of your old tub, and installing a new one, resurfacing is done on your existing tub. This means it is less disruptive and eliminates the need for costly plumbing alterations.
Life span of a Resurfaced Cast Iron Tub
With proper care and maintenance, a resurfaced cast iron tub can last 15 to 20 years, just like a new one.

Bathtub liners are another alternative. They are custom made to fit over your existing tub.
DIY Bathtub Refinishing Kits
For the do-it-yourselfers, refinishing kits can be a low-cost alternative.

Tips to Maintain Your Resurfaced Cast Iron Tub
A little care can go a long way in keeping your resurfaced tub in top shape.
Cleaning Guidelines
Avoid harsh cleaners. Instead, use mild, non-abrasive cleaning solutions and a soft cloth.
Avoiding Scratches and Damage
Don’t use your tub as a workbench. Avoid dropping sharp or heavy objects into the tub, which can chip or scratch the surface.
Maintaining the Gloss and Finish
Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and wipe the tub dry to prevent water spots and keep the finish shiny.
Ensuring Longevity of the Resurfaced Tub
With proper care and maintenance, your resurfaced tub can retain its luster for many years.
