How to Keep Your Reglazed Bathtub Looking Brand New

So, you've just had your bathtub refinished in Maryland or Northern Virginia — or maybe you're considering a bathroom refurbishment soon. Either way, you’ll want to protect your investment and keep that stunning, like-new look for years to come.

Here are our top tips from Top Reglazing DMV for keeping your tub sparkling and smooth:

1. Let it cure properly

Don’t use the tub for at least 24 hours after reglazing. This allows the surface to fully harden and set.

2. Use gentle cleaners only

Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers. Instead, clean your tub with mild dish soap and a soft sponge — that's more than enough to keep it looking perfect.

3. No suction-cups or silicone mats

As we mention in another blog, items like bathmats with suction cups can trap moisture and ruin the finish. Use non-slip stickers instead.

4. Avoid heavy impact

Reglazed surfaces are durable, but dropping heavy objects (like metal shampoo bottles) can chip them. A little care goes a long way.

5. Quick rinse = longer life After every use, a quick rinse and wipe-down helps prevent soap scum buildup — preserving the gloss.

✨With proper maintenance, your reglazed tub can last 10–15 years — and save you hundreds (or thousands) on a full bathroom remodel.
