Many folks believe that once a tub loses its shine, their only option is to throw it in the landfill.
However, our skilled technicians use specialized chemical bonding agents to fuse a durable, high-gloss acrylic coating over your worn porcelain.
This means you get to keep your heavy, high-quality original fixture while enjoying a sparkling clean look.
Think about the nightmare of hiring contractors to tear down tile, damage your flooring, and create piles of plaster dust.
By choosing our on-site spraying method, you avoid all that chaotic demolition work entirely.
Naturally, your wallet will thank you because this smart alternative costs a mere fraction of a traditional replacement.
Our process works beautifully on various materials including fiberglass, steel, and classic clawfoot models.
We meticulously clean the surface, repair any deep chips, and then apply a primer that grips the new topcoat like glue.
Consequently, you get a smooth, non-porous barrier that resists mold and looks absolutely brand new.
First, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheeting to keep your home safe from overspray.
This step ensures that our professional-grade coatings only land where they are supposed to.
After that, we set up a heavy-duty ventilation fan to pull any strong chemical fumes directly out of your window.
Next, we use a specialized acid paste to etch the old glaze, which creates microscopic pores for our bonding agent.
Without this critical step, the new finish would just peel off like a bad sunburn after a few hot showers.
We take our time during this prep phase because a flawless bond is the secret to a long-lasting result.
Finally, we fill in any rusty spots, deep scratches, or chips with a waterproof polyester putty.
Once we sand those repairs completely flat, the surface becomes as smooth as a sheet of fresh glass.
Which means the final sprayed coating will look perfectly even without any weird bumps or dips.
Now, we use a high-volume, low-pressure spray gun to apply several layers of our premium acrylic polyurethane coating.
This advanced material mimics the original factory baked-on enamel, offering incredible strength and a brilliant luster.
You will immediately notice how the light bounces off the fresh surface, making your entire bathroom feel brighter.
After we pack up our gear, the new finish needs about twenty-four hours to cure and harden completely.
During this short waiting period, you just need to keep the bathroom door closed and let the magic happen.
Soon enough, you can peel off the tape and enjoy a gorgeous, slip-resistant surface that feels amazing under your feet.

Let us look at the hard facts because a remodel can quickly turn into a financial black hole.
A new basic tub might only cost a few hundred dollars at a big-box store, but the hidden costs are brutal.
You have to pay plumbers, tile setters, and waste disposal fees, which can easily climb past three thousand dollars.
In contrast, our restoration service keeps your existing plumbing intact, saving you from expensive pipe rerouting.
We complete the entire job in a matter of hours, meaning your daily routine is barely disrupted.
This allows you to spend your hard-earned money on other important family needs instead of a costly demolition bill.
Furthermore, older fixtures are often made of thick, heavy cast iron that retains heat much better than modern plastic.
By keeping your original heavy tub, you enjoy longer, warmer baths while giving it a modern face-lift.
It is truly the smartest way to get that high-end look without the massive headache of a construction zone.
Once we finish our work, maintaining that brilliant shine is actually incredibly simple and easy.
You must avoid abrasive powder cleansers, bleach, or rough scrubbing pads that can dull the acrylic over time.
Instead, we recommend using mild, non-abrasive dish soaps or gentle spray cleaners with a soft microfiber cloth.
This simple cleaning routine keeps the non-porous surface smooth, preventing dirt and soap scum from sticking.
As a result, you will spend far less time scrubbing on your hands and knees during your weekend chores.
We always share these handy maintenance tips so you can keep your washroom looking spectacular forever.
Additionally, keeping your dripping faucets repaired prevents mineral deposits and rust stains from forming around the drain.
A little bit of preventative care goes a long way in preserving that glossy, mirror-like reflection.
We want you to love your upgraded bathroom, and we are always here to answer your maintenance questions.
Perhaps you are wondering about the exact cost for your specific washroom layout and setup.

Three quiet stages carry the whole result. They are also the ones nobody sees in the after photo.
Stage 1 of 3
A reglaze fails or lasts on what happens before the gun comes out. The old surface gets scrubbed of soap film and silicone, etched or primed so the new material has something to grip, then wet sanded until it feels like fine paper. Skip any of that and the prettiest coat in the world lets go within a year, which is exactly the story most peeling tubs tell us.
Stage 2 of 3
Chips, rust blooms and worn drain rings are ground back to sound material and rebuilt with polyester filler, then sanded flush until a fingertip cannot find the spot. Coating over damage only photographs well on day one; a repair you cannot feel is what keeps the finish honest for years.
Stage 3 of 3
The topcoat goes on in fine sprayed passes with an extractor pulling air out the window the whole time. Sprayed layers flow together into one even skin, which is why the result reads as gloss rather than as paint. Brushes and rollers leave the texture that gives cheap refinishing its reputation.
Three real ways out of a worn tub. We only do the first one, so the other two columns are simply what we would tell a friend.
| The question | Reglazing in place | Acrylic liner | Full replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| What a standard tub costs | $350 to $800 | $1,600 to $4,000 | $3,000 to $10,000 once walls and plumbing join in |
| Bathroom out of action | One day, then the cure | Weeks of lead time, then a fitting day | One to two weeks of trades |
| Demolition involved | None at all | None, but the old tub is sealed inside | Walls opened, floor patched, debris hauled |
| Honest life expectancy | Five years and up when cared for | Long, unless water creeps between the shells | Decades |
| Watch out for | Prep shortcuts by cut-rate crews | A spongy feel and hidden moisture | The budget doubling mid-project |
If your tub is cracked through, actively leaking underneath, or you simply want a different fixture, reglazing is the wrong tool, a verdict you will hear on the very first call.
Pass 1
Soap scum, silicone and old wax stripped, then the surface etched or bonded so the coating can bite.
Pass 2
Every ding ground out, filled and sanded flush. The repairs disappear under the coating instead of through it.
Pass 3
Tile, faucet, floor and glass papered off. Overspray lands on masking paper, never on grout or chrome.
Pass 4
Primer, then gloss coats laid on in thin passes until the surface reads as one poured skin.
Pass 5
The finish hardens on its own clock, 24 to 48 hours. We tape the door and leave the tub in peace.
Pass 6
Old caulk goes out with the old finish. A new mildew-resistant bead seals tub to tile on the way out.
A reglazed tub is your old tub wearing a professional coating. That is a fine thing to be, as long as everyone knows it going in.
A sprayed acrylic urethane skin, bonded to prepared porcelain, steel or fiberglass. It is smooth, glossy, warm to the touch and fully waterproof. Done properly it gives five years and more of daily service, and plenty of our tubs sail well past that with nothing but gentle cleaning.
It is not factory enamel fired onto iron at kiln temperatures, and no honest refinisher will tell you otherwise. It can be scratched by grit, dulled by harsh powders and lifted by standing water in a spot where caulk has failed. It is a durable coating, not a new tub, and it is priced like one.
Two minutes
ZIP, what the tub is made of, what bothers you about it. Said out loud it goes faster than typing, and a photo can follow later if the case is odd.
The same call
The technician who would do the work asks his questions and names a firm figure for a standard job, then confirms it in writing before any van is booked.
You set the date
One van, one technician, drop cloths from the front door to the bathroom. Water off for nothing; only the tub is out of service.
Most of that day
Damage filled and sanded, the room masked, extractor running, then the primer and gloss coats go on in thin, even passes.
24 to 48 hours
The finish hardens untouched, the new caulk bead goes in, and you run the first bath knowing exactly what was done and what to expect of it.
| What we quote | Typical range | Reading the number |
|---|---|---|
| Standard bathtub, reglazed complete | $350 - $800 | Clean, etch, repairs, sprayed gloss and fresh caulk. |
| Chip or rust repair alone | $150 - $300 | When the finish is sound and only one wound needs closing. |
| Clawfoot tub, inside and out | $700 - $1,300 | Two surfaces, more masking, and paint-grade feet if you wish. |
| Shower pan or base | $300 - $550 | Same process on the floor you stand on every morning. |
| Caulk renewal with the job | $90 - $180 | Old bead cut out, mildew-resistant line laid in. |
| Small job minimum | around $250 | The van, the materials and the cure time exist even for tiny work. |
Heavy previous coatings that must be stripped, unusual colors and badly pitted iron push a job toward the top of its bracket. The written price reaches you before the van is even loaded, and it holds.
Ventilation is not a courtesy, it is part of the job. The extractor runs from the first solvent wipe to the last sprayed pass, pulling air out the window instead of through your hallway, and the technician wears supplied air even when the household has gone out for the day. By the evening the bathroom smells like a bathroom again.
The materials are the professional two-part systems made for this trade, mixed fresh on site, never the single-can kits sold next to the paint rollers. It is the difference between a finish that cures into a hard skin and one that stays soft enough to peel at the drain within a season, and it is most of the reason our work carries a written workmanship promise against peeling and loss of adhesion.
And the schedule respects the cure. We tell you in writing when the tub goes back into service, 24 hours for most jobs and 48 for the cautious ones, because handing a family a beautiful surface and letting them ruin it that same night helps nobody. If anything in our workmanship lets go early, the technician comes back and makes it right without a discussion about whose fault the water was.
Strong while spraying, gone surprisingly fast. The extractor vents the room to the outside for the whole job, so the rest of the home stays livable, and by the next morning the odor has left with the fumes. Pregnant households and bird owners get the frank version of this talk before booking.
Between 24 and 48 hours after the final coat, and the exact time is written on the paperwork you keep. The first bath is not a gamble; it is a date.
Any color. The most common request is retiring an avocado, pink or almond tub to white, and the coating is tinted before it is sprayed, so the new color is in the material rather than painted over it.
Yes. The prep changes, the primer changes, the result reads the same. Fiberglass with soft, flexing spots gets extra reinforcement talk first, because coating a moving floor is how warranties die.
Now the old coating comes fully off, which is honest work we price plainly, and then the job proceeds as if the tub had never been touched. Peeling almost always means the first crew skipped the etch or sprayed over silicone, not that your tub rejects coatings.
Five years is the floor we are comfortable promising out loud, not the ceiling. With soft cleaners, no standing mats and caulk kept sound, these finishes routinely serve a decade. What we refuse to do is whisper twenty and hope you lose our number.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
