Bathtub Refinishing in Florida – What to Consider in a Hot and Humid Climate

Florida’s climate is hot and humid almost year-round. High temperatures and constant moisture affect not only your comfort but also the materials in your home — including your bathtub surface. That’s why choosing the right refinishing method and materials is key to achieving a durable, beautiful result.


 

1. How Climate Affects Bathtub Coatings?

In Florida, bathrooms often face:

  • Constant high humidity — increasing the risk of mold and mildew.

  • Temperature fluctuations — especially in homes with poor ventilation.

  • Condensation buildup — which accelerates coating wear.

Thin, low-cost coatings in such conditions are more likely to lose their shine, yellow, or peel prematurely.


2. Why an Odor-Free, Zero-VOC Technology Matters

In a humid climate, traditional spray or epoxy coatings can take longer to cure. This raises the risk of imperfections like bubbling, uneven texture, and prolonged chemical odors.
Solution: The Armoglaze hand-poured coating is 100% odor-free, contains zero VOCs, and cures properly even in high humidity — making it safe for both families and pets.


3. Coating Thickness Is Key to Durability

In Florida, a thick (1.5 mm) hand-poured coating is especially important because it:

  • Provides superior moisture and condensation resistance.

  • Resists chips, scratches, and daily wear.

  • Maintains a glossy finish longer, even with heavy use.


4. Proper Bathroom Ventilation Is a Must

Even the best coating will last longer if:

  • An exhaust fan is installed.

  • The bathroom door is left open after showers.

  • The tub surface is wiped dry regularly.


5. How Long Will Refinishing Last in Florida?

With the right technology — like the one we use at ReTub.Pro — a refinished bathtub can last 8–10+ years even in Florida’s humid climate. In contrast, traditional spray coatings often start losing their appearance in just 3–5 years.

 

Florida’s climate requires a special approach to bathtub refinishing:

  • Choose a thick, hand-poured, zero-VOC coating.

  • Ensure proper bathroom ventilation.

  • Work with experienced professionals who understand local climate challenges.

ReTub.Pro uses the Armoglaze technology proven to withstand Florida’s heat and humidity — with no odor, no mess, and a warranty of up to 10 years.
