Top Reglazing is proud to share that our owner, Ryan Pärnasalu, was recently featured as an industry expert in a HomeGnome guide on bathtub reglazing. The article explores the differences between DIY refinishing kits and professional reglazing — and highlights why trained specialists deliver safer, longer-lasting results.
Being quoted in a national home-improvement publication reflects our commitment to quality, safety, and transparency in the refinishing industry.
Why HomeGnome Chose Top Reglazing as an Expert Source
HomeGnome’s editorial team reached out to Top Reglazing to provide technical insight on the refinishing process. They were particularly interested in:
which materials are safe in bathrooms
how professionals achieve smooth, durable finishes
when DIY kits may fail or cause damage
This is an important conversation for homeowners deciding how to update their bathrooms safely and affordably.
Expert Quote from Ryan Pärnasalu
In the article, Ryan explains why professional prep and coating systems matter:
“When the surface is repaired correctly and coated with professional-grade materials, a reglazed bathtub can last more than 10 years. DIY kits simply don’t bond the same way, and the finish often fails within a year.”— Ryan Pärnasalu, Owner of Top Reglazing
This quote supports the wider industry consensus: proper prep = durable results.
Key Takeaways from the HomeGnome Article or Why Professional Bathtub Reglazing Matters
To keep the content unique, here’s a short editorial summary written in our own words:
✔ 1. DIY kits offer convenience but limited durability
Most DIY coatings are thin, soft, and not chemically bonded to the surface.
✔ 2. Professional refinishing uses industrial coating systems
These materials require skill, ventilation equipment, and surface preparation.
✔ 3. Prep work matters more than the coating itself
Repairs, sanding, priming, and bonding agents determine adhesion and lifespan.
✔ 4. Professional results typically last 10+ years
When maintained properly, a refinished tub can serve a household for more than a decade.
✔ 5. DIY kits may chip, peel, or discolor early
Especially in humid bathrooms — a core issue for the DMV area.
