A dull or chipped tub in Bethel does not need a demolition crew. It needs one technician, one day and a sprayed finish that shines.
One number reaches the technician who would hold the gun. The figure comes on the call, not after a visit.
(866) 951-0558The voice on the line belongs to the trade, not to a switchboard reading a script. Two minutes of plain description are enough to price a standard tub.

Many folks think they have to buy a brand new basin when their current one gets dingy or scratched. However our high tech porcelain restoration method coats your existing fixture with a super durable new layer. This chemical bonding process creates a gorgeous high gloss finish that looks exactly like a brand new factory model.
First we deep clean the old area with special cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. After that we repair any ugly chips or deep rust spots that ruin the look of your bathroom. Then we apply a professional grade primer that holds the final topcoat tight for years to come.
This special liquid acrylic finish bonds on a molecular level to create a non porous surface. Consequently you get a beautiful shiny shield that resists stains and makes cleaning incredibly easy. You will love how simple it is to wipe down after we finish our work.
Choosing to update your existing bathroom fixture saves you a massive amount of time and stress. When you hire workers to pull out an old tub they often have to break wall tiles and mess up your plumbing. That quickly turns a simple weekend upgrade into a multi week construction disaster.
On top of that the financial savings are absolutely massive when you go with our refinishing route. You avoid paying for expensive new fixtures permit fees and high waste disposal costs. We pass those savings directly to you which keeps your bank account happy.
| Project Factor | Full Replacement | Our Refinishing Service |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High ($3,000 - $8,000) | Extremely Affordable |
| Time to Complete | Usually 3 to 7 Days | Only 4 to 6 Hours |
| Mess and Dust | Major Construction Dust | Virtually None |
This handy table shows why so many smart homeowners choose to refresh instead of replace. You get the exact same visual result without any of the typical headaches. It is truly the ultimate shortcut to a gorgeous modern bathroom.
Living in a quiet historic area means you value quality craftsmanship and trustworthy local workers. Our friendly technicians understand the unique plumbing quirks of older homes built along the Broad Creek. We treat your property with the utmost respect and always clean up our work area before we leave.
Since we operate right here in this lovely community of under two hundred residents we rely heavily on word of mouth. We know that our neighbors expect honest pricing and top tier results every single time. That is why we never cut corners on prep work or use cheap materials.
Whether your home is a classic historic build or a newer property we know how to handle your specific materials. We work on cast iron pressed steel and modern fiberglass units with total confidence. You can trust our hands on experience to get the job done right the very first time.
We start by carefully masking off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheets to keep your home safe. This step ensures that no overspray or dust lands on your vanity toilet or floors. We also set up a powerful exhaust fan to pull any chemical fumes directly out of your house.
Next we use a special etching agent to create microscopic pores in the old porcelain or acrylic. This step is absolutely critical because it allows our new coatings to fuse permanently with the old substrate. Without this professional prep work the new finish would just peel off in a matter of months.
Once the surface is completely dry and primed we spray multiple coats of our premium acrylic urethane. We use professional spray equipment to ensure a perfectly smooth mirror like finish with zero brush marks. After a quick curing period of just twenty four hours your beautiful tub is ready for action.
Taking care of your updated fixture is actually much easier than dealing with an old worn out one. Since the new non porous topcoat does not absorb dirt you do not need to scrub it with abrasive powders. In fact harsh chemicals like bleach or gritty cleaners will actually dull the beautiful shine over time.
Instead you just need to use mild dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner along with a soft sponge. This simple routine keeps the surface looking brand new and sparkling for up to fifteen years. We always provide a detailed care sheet so you know exactly how to protect your investment.
If you are planning to sell your property soon a nasty bathroom can completely ruin a potential buyer interest. People look at dirty stained fixtures and immediately start calculating thousands of dollars in renovation costs. By investing in our quick cosmetic upgrade you instantly boost the overall appeal of your entire home.
This affordable transformation delivers an incredible return on investment that smart sellers love. You get to present a sparkling clean modern bathroom that looks move in ready. It is one of the easiest ways to make your home stand out on the local real estate market.

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 around Bethel, 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
