reglaze

New window finish

To reglaze is to apply a new layer of glaze to something that has lost its original coating.

Windows are reglazed when the putty holding panes cracks or fails: The old frames need reglazing.

Pottery and ceramics can be reglazed to restore their finish.

Bathtubs and sinks are sometimes reglazed rather than replaced—a cheaper alternative to full renovation.
