Have you ever reglazed your bathtub and was it worth it?

Question

I am thinking about doing this and want to know what the results were like and if it was worth it. Do mention if you did this yourself using a reglazing kit or if you hired professionals.

Answer 1

I lived in an apt with a reglazed tub (performed by a professional contractor) and it peeled horribly.  Can you just buy a new tub?  Think about the chemical used and the health hazard to you.

Answer 2

best thing to do, IMO, is to install a bath fitter. I use to re-glaze old bath tubs for work and indeed, they peel off after a while. It's some polymer/epoxy stinking paint that must be spray painted.

From experience, it's best to put on an acrylic overlay.
