This bathtub renovation option goes by many names — resurfacing, recoating, refinishing or reglazing — but has a pretty straightforward process.

Can you patch porcelain tub?
You can repair a chipped porcelain tub yourself with a few easily accessible materials. When the chip is in an area that is always dry, such as the outer surface of the tub, a single repair should do the job. However, the damage can need repeated repair when the chip is in the basin of the tub.
Can you refinish a tub that has already been refinished?

If the surface has noticeable wear even when the bathtub hasn't frequently been used, it could be that the original refinish job was not done currently or did not dry completely soon after the service.16 Jul 2020
