Use the constructor function:

    UPDATE foo SET bar_times = tstzrange(lower(bar_times), upper(bar_times) + interval '1' hour);

But this does not preserve the inclusivity/exclusivity of bounds from
the input range, so you may have to pass in the third argument as well.

If you need to preserve the information whether the upper and lower bounds
are inclusive or not, you could

  UPDATE foo
  SET bar_times = tstzrange(
                     lower(bar_times),
                     upper (bar_times) + INTERVAL '1 hour',
                     CASE WHEN lower_inc(bar_times) THEN '[' ELSE '(' END ||
                     CASE WHEN upper_inc(bar_times) THEN ']' ELSE ')' END
                  )
  WHERE ...

Yours,
Laurenz Albe
