BEFORE
AFTER
Worn fiberglass tub and shower surfaces professionally reglazed for a cleaner, updated appearance.
AFTER
Worn fiberglass shower refinished to restore a clean, bright appearance without replacing the existing unit.
Fiberglass tubs and showers can become faded, yellowed, stained, dull, or outdated even when the fixture is still in good structural condition. Professional reglazing restores the appearance of the existing fiberglass surface without removing and replacing the entire tub or shower.
​
If the fiberglass has cracks, flexing, or structural damage, repair may be needed before refinishing. We can evaluate the damaged area and determine whether fiberglass repair or additional support is necessary.
Our Fiberglass Tub & Shower Reglazing Process
1. Inspection & Surface Repairs
We inspect the fiberglass surface for chips, scratches, worn areas, and other imperfections. Minor surface damage is repaired before refinishing.
​
​2. Cleaning & Surface Preparation
The fiberglass is thoroughly cleaned and prepared to remove contaminants and create the proper surface for strong primer adhesion.
​
3. Masking & Primer Application​
Walls, fixtures, floors, and surrounding areas are carefully masked and protected before a bonding primer is applied to the prepared fiberglass.​
​
4. Professional Finish Application
The finish is applied evenly to restore the fiberglass with a smooth, clean, refreshed appearance.
​​
5. Final Inspection & Curing
​The refinished surface is inspected and allowed to cure properly before returning the tub or shower to normal use.
Why Reglaze a Fiberglass Tub or Shower?
Why Reglaze Instead of Replace?
Removing and replacing a fiberglass tub or shower can involve demolition, plumbing work, new materials, installation, and additional labor. When the existing fiberglass fixture is still structurally sound, professional reglazing can restore its appearance without removing and replacing the entire unit.​
​
Reglazing preserves the existing fiberglass surface while giving the tub or shower a clean, refreshed finish with far less disruption than full replacement.
Fiberglass Tub & Shower Reglazing FAQs
1. Can a faded or discolored fiberglass tub or shower be reglazed?
Yes. If the fiberglass is still structurally sound, reglazing can restore faded, yellowed, stained, dull, or outdated surfaces with a clean, refreshed finish without replacing the fixture.​​
2. What is the difference between fiberglass reglazing and fiberglass repair?
Reglazing is primarily used to restore the appearance of a worn or discolored fiberglass surface. Fiberglass repair addresses cracks, damaged areas, flexing, or structural problems that may need repair before refinishing.​
3. Can cracks be repaired before the fiberglass is reglazed?
Yes. Minor damage can often be repaired before refinishing. If the fiberglass is cracked or flexing, we evaluate the area first to determine whether additional repair or structural support is needed.
4. How long before I can use my tub or shower after reglazing?
Most refinished surfaces need approximately 24 to 48 hours to cure before normal use, depending on the specific conditions and coating system.
5. How should I clean a reglazed fiberglass tub or shower?
Use non-abrasive cleaners and soft sponges or cloths. Avoid abrasive pads, harsh scouring powders, and aggressive chemicals that can damage the refinished surface.
6. Does fiberglass tub and shower reglazing come with a warranty?
Yes. Excellence Reglazing provides a 5-year warranty on its refinishing services, subject to the warranty terms and proper care of the refinished surface.
