A dull or chipped tub in Brighton 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.
Your old tub looks pretty rough these days. Rust spots and dull, stained surfaces can make your entire bathroom feel dirty even after you just scrubbed it. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to get that sparkling clean look back again.
Local specialists can roll up their sleeves and spray a durable, high-gloss coating right over your existing fixture. This clever process saves you a mountain of cash while completely revitalizing the main focal point of your washing space. By choosing this smart path, you avoid the headache of dealing with dusty drywall work and expensive plumbing rerouting.

Many folks mistake this specialized process for a simple coat of paint. Actually, it involves a complex chemical bonding process that fuses a tough new acrylic polyurethane outer layer to your old cast iron or fiberglass basin. This means your upgraded surface will resist chips and scratches for many years to come.
First, we meticulously clean the old surface using industrial-strength cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and body oils. After that, we apply a unique acid etching agent that creates microscopic pores in the original porcelain. This step is absolutely critical because it allows the new materials to grab hold with incredible strength.
Next, we repair any deep gouges or rusty patches with waterproof polyester fillers before spraying the topcoats. Which means you get a perfectly smooth, level surface that feels incredibly sleek under your feet. Finally, we apply several layers of specialized resin using a professional HVLP spray system for a factory-like finish.
Choosing to renew rather than replace keeps solid waste out of our local landfills. Since our beautiful area near the heart of Jefferson County has a rich history, many homes here feature gorgeous vintage fixtures that are worth saving. Preserving these classic pieces keeps the original character of your home alive while upgrading its overall utility.
Money is another huge factor that makes this service a total no-brainer for smart property owners. With a local median household income of around $26,700, spending a fortune on a full remodel just does not make financial sense for most families. Our budget-friendly alternative delivers about ninety percent of the visual impact of a brand-new fixture at a tiny fraction of the cost.
On top of that, the entire job takes less than a single day to complete. This rapid turnaround time means you can go back to using your shower in just twenty-four to forty-eight hours. You will not have to invite a crew of strangers into your private space for weeks on end.
| Renovation Method | Average Cost | Time to Complete | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Very High | 3 to 7 Days | Extremely Dusty |
| Plastic Liners | High | 1 to 2 Days | Moderate |
| Surface Resurfacing | Very Low | 4 to 6 Hours | Very Low |
This handy table clearly shows why resurfacing is the champion of convenience. Plastic liners might seem fast, but they often trap water underneath which leads to nasty mold growth. Our spray-on liquid acrylic barrier leaves no seams or gaps where moisture can hide and cause hidden damage.
Furthermore, our materials contain special UV inhibitors that prevent yellowing over time. This ensures your basin stays bright white and gleaming even if your bathroom gets a lot of direct sunlight. You get the peace of mind that comes with a long-lasting, beautiful result.
Our arrival begins with setting up heavy-duty exhaust fans to safely vent any chemical fumes out through the nearest window. We take great care to mask off your floors, walls, and vanity using protective plastic sheeting and painter's tape. This thorough preparation ensures that the overspray only lands where it is supposed to go.
Once the prep work is complete, we focus on the meticulous deep cleaning phase. We remove the old caulking around the edges because new coatings will not stick to silicone. This detailed approach prevents future peeling and guarantees a completely watertight seal when we re-caulk the perimeter.
After we spray the final glossy layers, we use specialized curing lights to speed up the drying process. This advanced technique helps the material harden quickly so you can enjoy your fresh tub sooner. We always clean up our workspace completely, leaving your bathroom looking much cleaner than we found it.
Maintaining your newly coated surface is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, porous one. Because the new non-porous acrylic layer is incredibly smooth, dirt and soap scum have a very hard time sticking to it. This means you can say goodbye to harsh abrasive powders and exhausting scrubbing sessions forever.
Instead, you simply wipe down the surface with a mild liquid dish soap and a soft sponge once a week. This gentle cleaning routine preserves the brilliant shine and protects the bond for up to fifteen years. Using bleach or abrasive pads will dull the finish, so keeping things simple is actually the best path.
To help you protect your investment, we always provide a detailed care guide after we finish the job. This helpful resource answers all your questions about which cleaning products are safe to use. We want you to enjoy your beautiful, shiny bathroom for a very long time.

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 Brighton, 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.
