Homeowners often see a dull, chipped tub and think “quick weekend project.” Residential construction professionals know better. A reglazingabathtub project is a chemistry-driven, ventilation-critical surface application that can add 10–15 years to a fixture’s life—if it is estimated, scheduled, and executed correctly. CountBricks empowers remodelers to quote, track, and invoice every step without the guesswork.
• Replacement averages three to four times the material and labor cost of reglazing, not including plumbing changes
• Replacement typically adds demolition debris, disposal fees, and schedule delays
• Reglazing goes from dusty green sheetrock to final topcoat in under a day, letting clients regain a working bathroom sooner
Using CountBricks.com/services, you can instantly compare both scenarios side-by-side, showing homeowners transparent cost savings before you even leave the walk-through.
Cast iron, steel, or fiberglass each demand different prep abrasives, primers, and dry times. CountBricks voice input lets you note “heavy rust around drain” or “fiberglass hairline cracks” and the AI automatically loads the right material set.
Local codes often call for negative-air setups when spraying high-VOC coatings. CountBricks populates rental fan rates, plastic sheeting, and labor minutes into the estimate so you cover compliance costs.
• Is this the household’s only full bath?
• Will residents stay elsewhere overnight?
• Does the HOA restrict weekday odor-producing work?
Answering these in the CountBricks mobile app toggles after-hours premiums or phased scheduling allowances automatically.
1. Voice-capture the site walk-through: “5' x 8' main bath, ivory steel tub, mild pitting.”
2. CountBricks AI matches national and regional coating prices in real time.
3. The system calculates surface prep minutes, material spread rate, and cure downtime.
4. You review the auto-generated scope, tweak crew size, and hit “Approve.”
5. A branded PDF quote is emailed to the client while you’re still on site.
• Standard steel tub, minor chips: $425–$575 in most urban markets
• Cast iron tub with rust remediation: $600–$850
• Fiberglass garden tub with crack repair: $700–$1,050
Prices above reflect current chemical costs and a two-person crew rate. Open CountBricks.com/portfolio to see regional snapshots that update daily.
• Build a “dry-run” day into the schedule when humidity is above 70 %—CountBricks weather integration alerts you automatically
• Add a dedicated curing heater during winter months to avoid blush; CountBricks cost tables include temporary heat rentals
• Use two topcoat passes instead of one thick pass—the AI suggests material quantities accordingly
• Photograph substrate damage before prep and attach images in the CountBricks client portal to avoid scope disputes
• Bundle a nonslip additive upsell; CountBricks’ product catalog lists prevailing add-on margins in your ZIP code
Ventilation, PPE, and disposal rules vary by jurisdiction. CountBricks’ compliance engine flags any item that triggers OSHA respiratory standards or local hazardous waste guidelines, then inserts line items for specialty masks, cartridge filters, and disposal certificates.
After client approval, the same CountBricks job file becomes the live schedule. Field techs log actual labor hours in the mobile dashboard, materials auto-reconcile, and the platform produces a branded invoice. With integrated payment links, contractors report a 28 % faster pay cycle for reglazingabathtub jobs compared to spreadsheet workflows.
Residential clients expect Amazon-level speed and clarity. Combining voice-driven takeoffs, AI pricing, and instant documentation positions your firm as the high-tech option in a crowded marketplace. Whether you’re scaling from solo operator to multi-crew or adding bathtub resurfacing to an existing remodel lineup, CountBricks keeps your margins—and your reputation—intact.

A CountBricks contractor in Portland tackled a dated cast iron tub with severe staining and a failed prior DIY coating. Using the voice capture feature, they documented:
• Tub dimensions: 30" x 60" cast iron
• Damage: widespread etching, localized rust at overflow
• Site conditions: Single bathroom household, winter season, 62 % humidity
Within seconds the platform generated:
• Surface prep estimate: 2.1 labor hours with silicon-carbide sanding discs
• Material list: Low-VOC primer, two-part acrylic urethane topcoat, nonslip additive
• Compliance items: Negative-air fan rental, cartridge respirators, hazardous waste liner bags
Total proposal: $782. The homeowner accepted on the spot via e-signature.
1. Crew arrival 7 a.m.; plastic containment set in 25 minutes
2. Rust neutralized and etched by 9 a.m.
3. Primer and two topcoats applied by noon
4. Curing heater maintained 80 °F overnight
At 8 a.m. next day the client inspected a glossy, slip-resistant surface. Actual cost variance was under 2 % of the original CountBricks estimate, reinforcing the platform’s predictive accuracy.
• Preload regional chemical pricing in CountBricks to lock margins despite volatile resin costs
• Use the built-in photo log to document substrate condition; it doubled upsell success on repair work in this project
• Schedule automated client updates—text messages at each milestone reduced “status” calls by 70 %
