Don’t Let Myths Stop You from Upgrading Your Bathroom

Bathtub and tile reglazing has become one of the most popular bathroom upgrades in NYC — but many homeowners still hesitate because of outdated myths and misinformation.

At Reglazing NYC, we hear the same concerns all the time. Let’s separate fact from fiction so you can make an informed decision.

🚫 Myth #1: “Reglazing Peels After a Few Months”

Truth:
When done improperly, yes — it can fail. But professional reglazing with proper preparation and industrial-grade coatings lasts 10–15 years.

The key is:
✔ Proper sanding and surface prep
✔ High-quality bonding agents
✔ Correct curing time
✔ Professional ventilation

Cheap DIY kits are usually the reason behind peeling stories — not professional services.

🚫 Myth #2: “It Looks Fake or Painted”

Truth:
Professional reglazing doesn’t look like paint — it looks like a brand-new porcelain finish.

Our high-gloss enamel coating creates a smooth, factory-like surface that most people can’t tell apart from a brand-new tub or tile installation.

Many NYC clients are shocked at how dramatic the transformation is.

🚫 Myth #3: “Replacement Is Always Better”

Truth:
Replacement makes sense only when there’s structural damage (like leaks behind walls).

If your bathtub or tiles are structurally sound but just stained, chipped, or outdated — reglazing gives you the same visual result for 70% less cost and in a fraction of the time.

In NYC apartments, demolition can also require permits and building approval — reglazing avoids all that hassle.

🚫 Myth #4: “Reglazing Is Just a Temporary Fix”

Truth:
With proper care, reglazed surfaces last over a decade.

Regular cleaning with mild products and avoiding abrasive tools can extend the life even longer. Many of our clients only re-reglaze after 12–15 years.

That’s hardly “temporary.”

🚫 Myth #5: “The Smell Is Dangerous”

Truth:
There is a temporary odor during the process (like any refinishing project), but we use professional ventilation systems and low-VOC materials to ensure safety.

The smell dissipates quickly, and your bathroom is safe to use within 24–48 hours.
