Doing Our Part: How Bathtub Refinishing Reduces Waste and Extends the Life of Your Bathroom

If you’ve been thinking about remodeling your bathroom, you’ve probably noticed one thing — it creates a lot of waste. Old bathtubs, tiles, adhesives, and even plumbing materials often end up in landfills.

At Top Reglazing, we believe that small, thoughtful choices matter — including how you renovate your home.That’s why bathtub refinishing reduces waste and helps extend the life of your existing tub instead of sending it to a landfill.

How Bathtub Refinishing Reduces Waste (and Still Delivers Beautiful Results)

Replacing a bathtub requires demolition, disposal, and transport of heavy debris — usually several hundred pounds of material. Refinishing reuses your existing tub, which means less landfill waste and fewer resources used for production and shipping.

Our customers in Virginia, Maryland, and DC often tell us they’re amazed that a simple bathtub refinishing reduces waste so effectively while also saving them time and money.

How We Make Refinishing More Responsible

We continuously improve our process:

• We use professional-grade coatings that are low-VOC and made in the USA.

• We reduce unnecessary packaging and avoid harsh solvents whenever possible.

• We extend the lifespan of the existing surface — because the longer your tub lasts, the fewer materials are wasted.

No demolition, no debris — just a clean, durable new surface.

The Real Environmental Impact of Reglazing

While reglazing isn’t perfectly “eco-friendly” (no renovation truly is), it’s a far cleaner alternative to full replacement. Less demolition, less debris, and lower transport emissions make it a responsible, balanced choice.
