Is your bathtub starting to look outdated, chipped, or just plain worn? If you live in Upper Fairfield County, you don’t need a full remodel to refresh your space. From Stamford and Norwalk to Fairfield, Darien, and Westport, homeowners are turning to bathtub repair and refinishing for an affordable, modern solution.
With the right repair service, your existing tub can be restored to like-new condition while staying in place and saving you thousands.
Refinish Instead of Replacing
Bathtub refinishing, also called reglazing, is gaining popularity in towns across Upper Fairfield County. Instead of demolishing and replacing your existing tub, a professional technician applies a fresh, durable coating that:
- Eliminates stains, chips, and fading
- Refreshes old finishes with a sleek, updated look
- Extends the life of your bathtub
- Costs significantly less than a replacement
This process is ideal for porcelain, fiberglass, cast iron, and acrylic tubs alike. Most jobs take less than a day and allow you to enjoy a beautifully restored bathtub within 24–48 hours. Learn more on our Bathroom Repair Services page.
Seamless Chip and Crack Repairs
Even minor damage like chips, dings, and hairline cracks can impact your tub’s appearance. If you live in Norwalk or Darien, you’ve likely seen this kind of wear over time. Our experienced repair pros use color-matched fillers and industrial-strength resins to repair:
- Cracked fiberglass
- Porcelain chips
- Acrylic surface scratches
Our goal is a smooth, uniform surface that looks untouched by damage.
