Connecticut homes are known for their classic architecture, sturdy construction—and bathrooms that sometimes show their age. If your enamel tub is stained, chipped, or just stuck in a 1980s color palette, you might think demolition is the only route. CountBricks is here to prove otherwise. Our AI-driven estimating platform lets you reglaze bathtub CT residents already have, delivering a like-new finish in a fraction of the time and cost of replacement. Below, our residential construction team explains the science, savings, and seamless workflow that set CountBricks apart.
Reglazing—also called refinishing or resurfacing—involves deep cleaning the existing tub, repairing pits or cracks, and spraying on a catalyzed acrylic coating that bonds to the original surface. The result is a glossy, non-porous finish that looks factory-fresh and lasts 10–15 years when properly maintained.
• Faster turnaround: A typical reglaze by CountBricks takes 4–6 hours, versus days of demolition and plumbing disruption.
• Smaller budget: Reglazing can cost up to 75 % less than installing a new tub once you factor in tile and drywall repairs.
• Eco-friendly: Keeping the cast-iron or steel tub out of the landfill aligns with Connecticut’s increasing green-building codes.
• Historic integrity: Many CT homes feature early-20th-century tubs sized to old framing standards. Reglazing preserves original proportions that new fixtures can’t match.
1. Voice-enabled site survey: Using CountBricks AI, our estimator captures dimensions, existing materials, and client preferences in real time.
2. Instant digital quote: You receive a line-item proposal—labor, materials, and coatings—direct to your inbox, sourced from our live CT cost database.
3. Secure surface prep: We mask walls, floors, and fixtures before degreasing, acid etching, and neutralizing the tub surface.
4. Structural repairs: Chips and hairline cracks are filled with high-strength epoxy, then feather-sanded for a smooth substrate.
5. HVLP coating application: Our techs spray multiple thin coats of acrylic urethane, catalyzed on-site for maximum adhesion.
6. Final cure and polish: After 24 hours, we buff the surface to a diamond gloss and reinstall hardware.
Because material prices from New Haven to Hartford fluctuate with regional supply chains, CountBricks pulls live figures every time you request an estimate. Our AI factors in:
• Current VOC-compliant coating pricing in CT
• Labor burden rates for licensed residential contractors
• Travel time and toll variances between counties
• Seasonality impacts on cure time and ventilation requirements
The result? A transparent, line-by-line quote you can approve with a single click—no hidden fees, ever. Explore a sample at CountBricks.com/services.
Reglazing is perfect for structurally sound tubs with cosmetic issues. However, you may want to consider full replacement if:
• The tub has severe rust-through or flexing that compromises support.
• You’re upgrading from a standard alcove to a walk-in soaking model.
• Plumbing relocation is part of a larger remodel, making demolition unavoidable.

You’ll receive a calendar invite, prep checklist, and care guide automatically. That’s the future of residential construction, delivered now.
• Wait 24 hours before running water; full cure ensures chip resistance.
• Use non-abrasive cleaners—think mild dish soap instead of scouring powder.
• Place a rubber mat, not suction cups; cups can pull at the coating.
• Re-caulk perimeter joints annually to keep moisture from wicking underneath.

The Thompson family owns a 1929 Colonial in Hartford’s West End. Their cast-iron tub was mechanically sound but coated in a faded avocado glaze that no amount of bleach could brighten. By uploading bathroom blueprints to CountBricks.com/portfolio, they received a voice-captured estimate in under five minutes.
• Labor and material total: $925, compared with $3,600 for full replacement
• On-site time: 5 hours, start to cure
• Waste generated: One contractor bag of masking materials—no heavy landfill fees
The Thompsons selected a bright-white urethane coating and scheduled for the following Saturday. Our crew arrived at 8 a.m., completed prep and spraying by noon, and delivered a cured, polished tub by Sunday morning. Photos now appear in the CountBricks.com/portfolio gallery, showcasing a mirror-smooth finish that seamlessly matches new subway tile.
• Winter ventilation protocols: Cold Connecticut winters demand negative-pressure exhaust setups to prevent overspray drift. CountBricks techs deploy portable HEPA scrubbers rated for 300 CFM, ensuring safety and code compliance.
• Water quality and adhesion: High mineral counts in many CT municipalities leave calcium film on porcelain. Our pre-treatment includes a citric-acid rinse that dramatically improves coating bond strength.
• Scheduling around humidity: July’s coastal humidity can double cure times. CountBricks AI suggests dehumidifier rentals and staggered coat intervals to keep your timeline intact.
• AI-driven accuracy eliminates human math errors
• Real-time material pricing locks costs, even in volatile markets
• Voice notes become instant line items—no paperwork
• Digital archives let you retrieve past quotes for future insurance claims
