What Is Bathtub Refinishing?
Bathtub refinishing, also commonly called bathtub reglazing, is a process used to restore the surface of an existing bathtub rather than removing and replacing the entire fixture.
The process can be an excellent option when a bathtub is structurally usable but has cosmetic or surface problems such as:
- A worn or dull finish
- Chips and minor surface damage
- Stains and discoloration
- An outdated color
- A finish that has become difficult to keep looking clean
- General signs of age and wear
Instead of tearing out the existing tub, Divine Coatings prepares and refinishes the existing surface at the property.
For many Metairie homeowners, landlords, and property managers, this provides a practical way to update the appearance of a bathroom while avoiding unnecessary demolition and replacement work.

Why Refinish a Bathtub Instead of Replacing It?
Replacing a bathtub can involve much more than purchasing a new tub. Removal may affect surrounding tile, walls, flooring, plumbing, and other parts of the bathroom.
Professional refinishing takes a different approach.
When the existing fixture is a good candidate for refinishing, its surface can be restored without removing the entire bathtub. This can reduce demolition, construction mess, disruption, and the need to coordinate multiple parts of a larger replacement project.
For homeowners updating an older Metairie bathroom, refinishing can also make it possible to modernize the appearance of an existing bathtub without completely redesigning the room.

Can an Old Bathtub Be Made to Look New Again?
In many cases, yes.
A bathtub does not necessarily need to be replaced simply because the finish looks old, worn, stained, or dated. Professional surface preparation and refinishing can dramatically improve the appearance of many porcelain, fiberglass, and similar bathtub surfaces.
The condition of the existing fixture matters, which is why Divine Coatings evaluates the surface before recommending refinishing.
If the tub is a suitable candidate, refinishing can restore its appearance and can also provide an opportunity to change an outdated color.
Can You Change the Color of a Bathtub?
Yes. Divine Coatings can refinish surfaces in different colors, allowing Metairie homeowners to update an older bathroom color scheme without necessarily replacing the existing bathtub.
This can be especially useful in older bathrooms where the bathtub is still functional but its color no longer matches updated flooring, walls, cabinets, countertops, or other fixtures.
Instead of designing the bathroom around an outdated tub color, refinishing may allow the tub to become part of the new design.
More Than Bathtub Reglazing
Although bathtub refinishing is one of our primary services, Divine Coatings works with many other hard surfaces found in bathrooms and kitchens.
Shower Refinishing
An aging shower stall can make an otherwise updated bathroom look worn. Depending on the material and condition, refinishing may provide an alternative to removing and replacing the entire shower surface.
Sink Refinishing
Older bathroom and kitchen sinks can develop worn finishes, stains, chips, and outdated colors. Refinishing can restore the surface and coordinate it with other improvements.
Tile Refinishing
Existing ceramic tile does not always need to be torn out to change the appearance of a bathroom. Divine Coatings can evaluate tile surfaces to determine whether refinishing is appropriate for your project.
Countertop Refinishing
Replacing countertops can add considerable work to a kitchen or bathroom renovation. Refinishing an appropriate existing countertop can provide another way to update the space without removing the entire surface.
Porcelain and Fiberglass Repair
Chips and other localized surface damage do not always require replacement of the entire fixture. Divine Coatings also provides individual spot and surface repairs when appropriate.
Tile and Grout Cleaning and Restoration in Metairie
Sometimes the tile itself is still in good condition, but stained, discolored, or aging grout makes the entire bathroom look older.
Divine Coatings also provides tile and grout cleaning and restoration services.
Depending on the condition of the area, services may include professional tile and grout cleaning, clear grout sealing, grout color sealing or staining, regrouting, and replacement of old caulk around bathtubs and tiled shower areas.
This can be particularly useful when you want to refresh an existing bathroom without removing otherwise serviceable tile.
The Divine Process
Professional bathtub reglazing is more than applying paint to a bathtub.
Divine Coatings uses a specialized surface preparation and refinishing system designed to prepare the existing fixture, address appropriate surface damage, protect the surrounding area, and apply the new finish.
Preparation is especially important because the new coating needs to properly bond with the existing surface.
The process generally involves cleaning and preparing the surface, treating appropriate chips or damaged areas, masking and protecting nearby fixtures and surfaces, and applying the refinishing system.
