I've just updated my bathroom, and the tub is not in terrible shape, but could possibly look better with a fresh glazing. It is an old (1955) cast tub with a ceramic coating which has lasted well over the years.

Has anyone had their tub re-glazed, and if so, how did it turn out, and were you satisfied?

Had same sitch, reglazed (which seemed cheaper at the time) in blue,
first time something was dropped on it, it cracked and continued
cracking, had to replace the tub..I would never do it again.

You might try one of those places, if you have it locally, that collects
old stuff for resale, you might get lucky.

The good thing is that the existing tub looks ok, just worn a bit from age, so it does not need to be replaced, but it might be nice to make it look brighter.

to my knowledge there are only one or two companies in the us that can refinish with the original porcelain enamel that those old tubs where made with. any of the epoxy based or urethane enamel refinishes with definitely be inferior.

Custom Ceramic Coatings in illinois is the leader

Independence Porcelain Enamel in misssouri also does it but i think they only do steel not cast iron

You can get a better deeper tub with hydro jets for less than a grand plus installation.

I got rid of my old tube and replaced it with a new Fiberglas jobber. I regret that choice. The old metal tubes are way better in my opinion.

I've seen too many fiberglass and plastic tubs crack, or not hold their finish. I will stay with metal tubs.

Why not try Bath wrap then you keep your tub and they put stuff over it to look brand new.. Many do that so they don't have to tear the tub out and replace it..

if you mean the inside.... however you do it.... sand the heck out of it first or everything will flake off

.....but otherwise you can turn it into a chaise/couch/loveseat like the one in breakfast at tiffany's....

I rented an apt once where the landlord re-glazed the tub.
At first it was nice but it soon (a month or so) started to chip.

After that - I turned down a rental apt because it had a re-glazed tub.

I suppose if it is done correctly and the tub was properly prepped it could be okay but if you own the home, why not just bite the bullet and get a new tub?

My sister had a tub re-glazed by a professional antique shop. She collects antiques and that Lion's Claw Tub adds to the value of her home.
The glazing came with a 20 year guarantee too. Plus, they have a shower unit so it doesn't get used often.
