Is your bathtub in Kenner looking stained, chipped, or outdated? Before you spend thousands on a full replacement, consider bathtub refinishing — a cost-effective solution that restores your tub’s original beauty at a fraction of the cost. TurnKey Bathtubs specializes in professional refinishing services that make old tubs look brand new.
Bathtub refinishing (also called reglazing or resurfacing) is a process that repairs surface damage and applies a durable new coating to your existing tub. Instead of tearing out and replacing the entire unit, refinishing works with what you have — saving time, money, and the hassle of a major renovation.
The process involves cleaning and etching the surface, repairing chips and cracks, applying a bonding agent, and spraying on multiple coats of a specialized finish. The result is a smooth, glossy surface that looks and feels like a brand-new tub.
Refinishing is significantly more affordable than replacement. Here’s what Kenner homeowners can expect:
Compare that to bathtub replacement, which typically costs $1,500–$6,000+. Refinishing delivers a similar visual result at 70–80% less cost.
Refinishing is ideal when:
Replacement may be better when the tub has severe structural damage, persistent leaks, or you want to change the tub type entirely (e.g., switching to a walk-in bathtub).
A professionally refinished bathtub typically lasts 10–15 years with proper care. Using non-abrasive cleaners, avoiding harsh chemicals, and keeping the surface dry between uses helps extend the life of the finish. If needed, a tub can be refinished more than once.
As Kenner’s trusted bathtub experts, we deliver outstanding refinishing results every time:
