What Is Bathtub Resurfacing?

Bathtub resurfacing (also known as bathtub reglazing or bathtub repainting) is a professional restoration process where:

  1. Surface is deep cleaned and degreased
  2. Cracks and chips are repaired
  3. Old coating is sanded down
  4. Industrial bonding primer applied
  5. High-grade PU or epoxy topcoat sprayed evenly

Result: A fresh, smooth, factory-like finish.

Suitable for:

βœ” Acrylic bathtub
βœ” Fiberglass bathtub
βœ” Cast iron tub
βœ” Built-in bathtub
βœ” Freestanding bathtub


Why Bathtubs in Singapore Commonly Fail

Singapore’s humid climate causes:

  • Surface yellowing
  • Coating peeling
  • Hairline cracks
  • Water stains
  • Rust around drainage area

Common reasons include:

❌ Previous DIY paint
❌ Wrong paint type used
❌ No bonding primer

❌ Wear and Tear
❌ 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.
