When a tired, stained, or color-dated tub drags down your bathroom’s look, you have two options: rip it out and start over, or choose the smarter, faster path—bathtub reglazing. CountBricks has helped thousands of Rhode Island homeowners refresh their bathrooms without demolition, thanks to our AI-driven estimating and expert field crews. In this guide, we explain why “bathtub reglazing RI” is trending, how the process works, and how CountBricks turns a single fixture upgrade into an investment that adds value to your entire property.
• Cost savings: Reglazing typically runs 60-70 % less than a full tub replacement once labor, tile repairs, and plumbing changes are factored in.
• Time savings: Most CountBricks reglazing projects are completed in one day, so your bathroom is back in service by evening.
• Minimal disruption: No tile, drywall, or flooring demo means zero construction waste and no weeks-long remodel.
• Design flexibility: Choose a classic white, a modern matte, or even a custom tint to match your décor.
1. Voice-Driven Walkthrough: Using the CountBricks mobile app, you describe your tub’s condition in real time while our AI captures dimensions and surface defects.
2. Instant Estimate Generation: Minutes later, you receive a line-item proposal that lists surface prep, crack repairs, primer, topcoat, and labor—pulled from live RI material pricing.
3. Digital Approval & Scheduling: Approve the quote online and select a date that fits your calendar. Our scheduling algorithm groups nearby jobs to reduce travel cost—savings we pass on to you.
4. Field-Crew Handoff: Certified CountBricks technicians arrive with a project-specific checklist generated by the same AI engine, ensuring flawless execution.
1. Ventilation & Masking: We set up HEPA filtration and mask off walls, fixtures, and floors.
2. Deep Clean & Etch: Industrial cleaners remove soap scum and mineral buildup, then a mild acid etches the surface for maximum coating adhesion.
3. Chip & Crack Repair: Our technicians fill pits or rust spots with high-strength epoxy.
4. Primer Application: A bonding primer locks onto the porcelain or fiberglass substrate.
5. Topcoat Spraying: Two to three coats of aliphatic acrylic urethane deliver a high-gloss, durable finish.
6. Curing & Final Polish: After a 4-hour cure, we buff the surface for a showroom shine.
• Tub material: Porcelain-over-steel and cast-iron tubs require different bonding agents than fiberglass.
• Damage level: Extensive rust or structural cracks add repair time.
• Accessibility: Third-floor walk-ups or tight multi-family layouts increase setup labor.
• Add-ons: Non-slip textures, color-matching, or silicone caulk replacement affect pricing.
Because CountBricks pulls real-time labor rates and material costs for every Providence, Warwick, and Newport ZIP code, your quote is always hyper-accurate—no inflated “just in case” numbers.

In roughly 10 % of RI site visits, underlying rot or subfloor damage makes replacement the safer choice. CountBricks’ integrated estimating system instantly pivots, pricing demolition, disposal, and new tub install without starting from scratch. That flexibility keeps your project on schedule and on budget.
How long will the new finish last? With proper care—non-abrasive cleaners and soft sponges—a CountBricks reglazed tub typically lasts 10-15 years.
Does reglazing smell? Modern low-VOC coatings limit odor, and our HEPA exhaust fans vent fumes outdoors.
Can you reglaze a colored tub to bright white? Absolutely. Our high-opacity primers block existing color completely.

When the owners of a 1910 brownstone near College Hill contacted CountBricks, their claw-foot tub had three issues: iron stains, peeling paint, and two spider cracks around the drain. A full bathroom remodel was outside their timeline—they hosted holiday guests in ten days. Here’s how CountBricks delivered.
• Location: Providence, RI
• Scope: Bathtub reglazing with rust repair and custom eggshell finish
• Turnaround: 9 hours on site, 24-hour cure window
• Savings: $3,400 compared to quoted replacement cost
1. AI-Driven Assessment: During a five-minute video call, our estimator captured the tub’s geometry and flagged rust zones. The homeowner received a detailed proposal before the call ended.
2. Zero-Surprise Pricing: Because CountBricks pulls daily material costs, the epoxy repair kit and specialty primer were priced to the penny.
3. Seamless Field Ops: Our technicians followed an app-based checklist that included custom color ratios, ensuring the eggshell tint matched existing subway tile grout.
4. Post-Service Validation: After curing, the homeowner uploaded photos through the CountBricks portal. Our quality team used image recognition to confirm gloss level and uniform film thickness, closing the project with a five-year warranty certificate.
