Getting Ready for Reglazing? Here’s What to Do

If you’ve scheduled your bathtub, sink, or tile reglazing appointment — great choice! Proper preparation helps ensure the process goes smoothly and your finish comes out flawless.

At Reglazing NYC, we handle the technical work, but a few simple steps from you can make the experience even easier.

Here’s your complete bathroom reglazing preparation checklist.

✅ 1. Remove All Personal Items

Before our team arrives, please clear out:

• Shampoo bottles
• Soap dispensers
• Shower curtains and liners
• Bath mats
• Towels and décor items
• Toothbrush holders near sinks

This gives our technicians full access and prevents accidental overspray.

🚿 2. Clean Out Cabinets Near the Work Area

While we carefully mask and protect surrounding areas, it’s best to remove items from:

• Vanity cabinets
• Under-sink storage
• Nearby shelves

This protects your belongings from dust or temporary odors.

🪟 3. Ensure Proper Ventilation Access

We bring professional ventilation equipment, but please:

• Make sure a window can open (if available)
• Clear space near the bathroom door
• Inform us if your building has special ventilation rules

Good airflow speeds up curing and minimizes odor.

🧱 4. Repair Plumbing Leaks Before Reglazing

Dripping faucets or leaks must be fixed before refinishing.

Why?
Continuous water contact during curing can damage the new coating.

If you’re unsure, let us know before your appointment — we’ll advise you.

🐶 5. Keep Pets & Children Away During Service

For safety, keep pets and children out of the work area during the reglazing process and curing time (24–48 hours).

Once cured, your bathroom is completely safe to use.

⏳ 6. Plan for 24–48 Hours Without Using the Bathroom

After reglazing:

• Do not use the bathtub or shower for at least 24 hours
• Avoid touching the surface
• Do not place items inside the tub

If you only have one bathroom, plan accordingly before your appointment.
