Cracked bathtub?

Rust stains?
Before you spend $3,000β$6,000 replacing your bathtub in Singaporeβ¦
Consider professional bathtub resurfacing.
At 9reno, we restore worn-out bathtubs into a smooth, glossy, like-new finish β without hacking or full bathroom renovation.
What Is Bathtub Resurfacing?
Bathtub resurfacing (also known as bathtub reglazing or bathtub repainting) is a professional restoration process where:
- Surface is deep cleaned and degreased
- Cracks and chips are repaired
- Old coating is sanded down
- Industrial bonding primer applied
- High-grade PU or epoxy topcoat sprayed evenly
Result: A fresh, smooth, factory-like finish.
Suitable for:
β Acrylic bathtub
β Fiberglass bathtub
β Cast iron tub
β Built-in bathtub
β Freestanding bathtub

Why Bathtubs in Singapore Commonly Fail
Singaporeβs humid climate causes:
- Surface yellowing
- Coating peeling
- Hairline cracks
- Water stains
- Rust around drainage area
Common reasons include:
β Previous DIY paint
β Wrong paint type used
β No bonding primer
β Wear and Tear
β Heavy chemical cleaners
When Should You Resurface Instead of Replace?
You should resurface if:
- Bathtub structure is still solid
- No major structural crack or problem
- No severe leakage underneath ( waterproofing below fail)
- Only cosmetic deterioration
You should replace if:
- Severe structural damage
- Water leakage under bathtub
- Major crack across base
In most Singapore homes β resurfacing is enough.
