A dull or chipped tub in Bolton Landing 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.
Maybe your old tub looks like it survived a war or just got stained by decades of rusty well water and cheap soap. Buying a whole new setup sounds like a nightmare because you have to rip out tiles, pay a plumber a fortune, and deal with dust for weeks. Luckily, a much easier option exists to bring back that brilliant shine in just a single day.
By choosing this smart alternative, you avoid the massive headache of a full demolition while still getting a surface that looks brand new. Our local team specializes in reviving tired, worn-out bathroom fixtures right where they sit. We make the entire process simple by offering a free estimate to show you exactly how much cash you will save compared to a costly replacement.
Think about how nice it will feel to step into a sparkling, clean shower basin that actually reflects the light. You do not have to live with those ugly chips or that outdated 1970s avocado green color anymore. We bring top-tier equipment directly to your home to deliver a durable, gorgeous finish that lasts for years to come.
First, we meticulously clean the entire area with specialized industrial cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and stubborn mineral deposits. This critical step ensures our bonding agents adhere flawlessly to the original porcelain or fiberglass. If we skip this deep clean, the new layer might peel off down the road, which is why we never cut corners here.
After that, we carefully patch up any deep scratches, rusty spots, or unsightly chips with a heavy-duty filler. This step restores the structural smoothness of the basin so the final coat looks completely seamless. You won't even be able to tell where the old damage used to be once we finish our magic.
Next, we apply a proprietary chemical bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old surface and our new high-tech coatings. This advanced formula creates a permanent fused grip that resists peeling and cracking even under hot water pressure. Finally, we spray multiple layers of a premium acrylic polyurethane topcoat to seal the deal with a glossy luster.
Because we believe in doing things right the first time, we only use top-grade aliphatic acrylic urethanes. This specific material resists yellowing over time, which keeps your bathroom looking fresh and bright. Cheap DIY kits from the local hardware store simply cannot match the strength of these commercial-grade coatings.
To help you understand the differences, here is a quick comparison of what we offer versus those cheap retail kits:
| Feature | Our Professional Service | DIY Box Kits |
|---|---|---|
| Bonding Agent | Industrial silane molecular coupling | Basic epoxy or standard primer |
| Durability | Lasts 10 to 15 years with proper care | Often peels within 6 to 12 months |
| Appearance | High-gloss, factory-like spray finish | Brush marks and uneven roller textures |
| Cure Time | Ready to use in 24 to 48 hours | Can take up to a week to dry completely |
As you can see, investing in a professional job saves you money and frustration in the long run. Our proven system delivers a smooth, non-porous barrier that is incredibly easy to keep clean. You will spend far less time scrubbing on your hands and knees once we finish our work.
Living in this gorgeous part of Warren County means enjoying a peaceful, scenic lifestyle near the water. With a cozy local population of just 507 residents, keeping our homes in tip-top shape is a matter of community pride. Many of the historic properties around the 12814 ZIP code feature classic cast iron tubs that are simply too sturdy to throw away.
Since the median household income in our lovely lakeside area sits around $36,364, finding smart ways to stretch your home improvement budget is incredibly important. Tearing out an old cast iron fixture can easily cost thousands of dollars once you factor in carpentry, plumbing, and waste disposal fees. Our specialized restoration service gives you the exact same visual upgrade at a mere fraction of that price.
Choosing to restore rather than replace also keeps heavy, non-biodegradable materials out of our local New York landfills. This eco-friendly approach preserves the natural beauty of our surrounding Adirondack region while upgrading your personal sanctuary. You get to enjoy a fresh, clean bathing space while doing your part to protect our environment.
When our friendly technician arrives at your home, we start by setting up a heavy-duty exhaust fan system to vent all fumes safely outdoors. This step keeps your indoor air clean and prevents any strong odors from lingering in your living areas. We also use premium masking paper and painters tape to protect your walls, tiles, and floors from any overspray.
Once the prep work is complete, the actual spraying process takes only a few hours of focused, precise labor. After we pack up our gear and clean up our workspace, we leave you with a list of simple care instructions to maximize your new surface life. You just need to let the finish cure, and then you can jump right back into your normal bathing routine.
To maintain that incredible shine, you should always avoid abrasive cleaners like bleach powders or harsh scrubbing pads. These rough chemicals can dull the glossy finish over time and create tiny scratches where dirt loves to hide. Instead, we recommend using mild liquid dish soaps or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners to wipe away grime.
Using a soft microfiber cloth or a non-scratch sponge will keep the surface perfectly smooth for years. This simple cleaning routine actually saves you money on expensive cleaning products while preserving your investment. You will love how easily water beads up and rolls right down the drain after we finish our process.
If you ever notice a leaky faucet, make sure to fix it quickly to prevent constant water dripping from staining the new coating. Consistent moisture in one spot can eventually wear down even the toughest materials over several years. Taking care of small plumbing issues early ensures your beautiful bathroom upgrade stays flawless for a very long time.
We believe in honest, upfront pricing, which is why we never hit you with hidden fees or surprise charges. When you reach out to us, we will schedule a convenient time to look at your bathroom and give you a detailed quote absolutely free. This pressure-free consultation lets you make the best decision for your home and your wallet.
Why spend another day looking at a dingy, stained, or chipped washbasin when a affordable solution is just a phone call away? Our skilled team is ready to bring back the shine and help you fall in love with your bathroom all over again. Contact us today to request your free estimate and take the first step toward a brighter, cleaner home.
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 Bolton Landing, 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.
