Is there a difference between Refinishing, Reglazing, and Resurfacing?
They are all basically the same terms. The term Reglazing is kind of misleading. A new bathtub is considered to be glazed. This part of the process where the manufacture applies a Glaze to the tub and then is fired in a kiln at temperatures over 1500 degrees. The ending result is porcelain. In our industry this cannot be duplicated in the home due to the intense temperatures. Reglazing is actually refinishing, because at this time “reglazing” cannot be done. Resurfacing is also the same as refinishing. There are some companies that can restore your dull tub to a shiny tub. I believe they cannot use this process for chipped and worn bathtubs.
