When a fiberglass or cast-iron tub begins to yellow, chip, or look dated, many residents assume a full replacement is the only solution. In reality, reglazing delivers the same glossy, like-new finish at a fraction of the cost, timeline, and disruption. CountBricks has helped hundreds of Boston homeowners save thousands by pairing precision takeoffs, AI-driven estimates, and vetted field crews into one seamless service.
1. Surface Assessment: CountBricks voice-powered site capture logs every scratch, crack, and drain detail in seconds.
2. Material Mapping: Our AI matches the tub material to the optimal bonding agent and topcoat inside CountBricks.com/services.
3. Prep & Mask: Certified techs remove caulk, repair divots, and mask walls to protect tile and fixtures.
4. Bond & Prime: An industry-grade acid etch creates micro-pores, then an epoxy primer seals the surface.
5. High-Build Topcoat: A turbine sprayer lays down three slick coats, curing into a porcelain-like sheen.
6. Final Polish & Re-caulk: After 24-hour cure, we buff, silicone seal, and present your gleaming tub.
Reglaze with CountBricks: $550-$850 average, 4-6 hours on site, zero demolition waste.
Replace: $2,800-$5,400 average, multiple trades, potential wall and floor repairs, weeks of disruption.
Boston’s older housing stock often means tight staircases and masonry walls that complicate removal. Reglazing eliminates those logistical headaches, while CountBricks AI-generated line items keep budgets transparent from day one.

How long does a reglazed finish last?
With CountBricks’ proprietary prep system, clients enjoy 10-15 years of high-gloss performance. Follow our care guide at CountBricks.com/portfolio to maximize lifespan.
Can you change tub color?
Absolutely. From classic Kohler white to modern slate gray, our AI recommends pigments that pair with your bathroom’s existing palette.
Is the process safe?
We deploy professional ventilation, respirators, and low-VOC coatings. Homeowners can remain in the house, though we suggest closing the bathroom door during application.

• Keep water temperature below 140°F to protect topcoat integrity.
• Re-caulk every two years to block water infiltration behind the apron.
A developer purchased a 2-bedroom condo with a stained almond tub. Full replacement bids averaged $3,900 and required ripping out marble surrounds. CountBricks provided a live estimate during the initial walkthrough: $725 all-in, completed three days later. The refreshed bathroom photo now headlines the listing on CountBricks.com/portfolio and contributed to a $37K profit margin increase on sale.

• Industrial degreasers strip soaps and body oils
• Diamond sanding pads level micro-chips
• Moisture meters confirm the substrate is ready for primer
CountBricks’ exclusive silane bonding agent chemically fuses with both fiberglass and porcelain surfaces, creating a foundation four times stronger than standard hydrofluoric etch alone.
Using an HVLP turbine sprayer, technicians lay down a 72% solids acrylic urethane blend. The higher solids content means thicker coverage in fewer passes, reducing overspray and volatile compounds.
An infrared curing lamp accelerates molecular crosslinking, allowing light use after 6 hours—perfect for Boston’s tight turnaround rental market.
Once gloss readings hit our 88-90 GU target, the crew photographs the finish and uploads data to CountBricks.com/portfolio. A five-year warranty certificate auto-emails to the homeowner before we leave the driveway.
From AI estimation to final polish, CountBricks controls every variable, guaranteeing consistency across Back Bay brownstones and Dorchester triple-deckers alike.
