A dull or chipped tub in Burnham 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.
Getting that tired and worn basin back to its former glory is easier than you might think. You do not need to rip out everything to achieve a shiny, fresh look that feels like total luxury.
Bringing life back to your outdated wash station is a smart move for your wallet. Instead of spending thousands on a full demolition, you can choose a surface renewal process that saves you time and stress. This lets you enjoy a beautiful space while keeping your hard-earned money in your pocket.
When you look at your chipped, yellowing, or stained soaking vessel, you probably feel like replacing it is the only way out. Actually, you can choose a specialized chemical bonding process that applies a brand new, durable finish right over the existing structure. This means you skip the mess of heavy construction and the dusty tile removal that typically ruins your week.
Because you live in a place where people really value the character of their homes, keeping the original fixtures often adds more charm than installing generic plastic tubs. You get a pristine, high-gloss surface that looks brand new but stays true to the bones of your property. It really is a game changer for anyone tired of scrubbing grime that just won't go away.
Imagine walking into your bathroom and seeing a surface so smooth and bright it sparkles under the lights. That is the main benefit of choosing a professional application of high-grade resins. Since we treat the existing basin, you avoid the nightmare of plumbing leaks that often happen when you pull out old pipes.
Furthermore, the new finish is very easy to wipe down. You no longer have to worry about porous surfaces trapping soap scum or mold deep inside the material. This keeps your daily routine simple and quick, giving you more time for things you actually enjoy doing. It is a practical upgrade that makes your daily wash feel much more pleasant.

| Feature | Full Replacement | Surface Restoration | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Very High | Affordable | |
| Time | Weeks | One Day | |
| Mess | High | Low | |
| Durability | High | High |
Choosing between these options usually comes down to how much disruption you can handle. If you have a busy life, you simply cannot afford to have your plumbing shut off for days on end. Restoration lets you use your space again after a short curing period, which makes it the obvious winner for a functional household.
On top of that, you keep the original shape and size you are used to. Many newer models are made of flimsy materials that lose heat quickly, while your older cast iron or steel tub holds onto warmth much better. Protecting that original quality while updating the aesthetic is the smartest way to handle your home improvement tasks.
First, you reach out to us so we can see what we are working with. We come to your home to inspect the condition of the enamel, the depth of any cracks, and the overall integrity of the unit. This allows us to provide a totally free estimate that gives you a clear picture of what the work entails.
Next, we prepare the surface by removing old caulk and cleaning away years of mineral buildup. This is a very critical stage because the new coating needs a perfectly clean base to stick properly. By taking our time here, we ensure that your new finish does not peel or flake down the road.
Finally, we apply several layers of specialized material using a high-pressure system. This creates a thick, resilient barrier that looks just like new porcelain. You get a smooth, glossy, and non-porous finish that elevates the whole vibe of your bathroom. It feels wonderful under your skin and makes the whole room appear much larger and brighter.
After we finish the job, you might wonder how to keep it looking shiny. The trick is to avoid harsh, abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the surface. Instead, use mild soap and a soft cloth to clean your tub every week. This keeps the gloss intact and prevents any buildup from staining the new layer.
Additionally, make sure to dry the tub after you use it. Standing water can eventually cause minor spots, so a quick wipe with a towel goes a long way. If you have a leaky faucet, fixing it quickly prevents mineral deposits from settling on the finish. These small habits make a huge difference in the longevity of your investment.
When you decide to brighten up your home, you are doing more than just fixing a sink or a tub. You are creating a sense of calm and order that makes your morning routine much easier. A clean, white, and reflective surface makes the whole room feel more airy and open.
If you ever decide to sell your property, this kind of work is a major selling point. Potential buyers look at the bathroom first, and seeing a sparkling, updated basin tells them that you took good care of the house. It adds value without costing you a fortune, which is exactly what a smart homeowner wants to hear.
You should not have to spend your weekends dealing with messy chemicals or complex tools. Leave the tough work to someone who does this every single day and knows exactly how to handle different types of materials. We bring our own supplies and equipment, so you do not have to lift a finger during the process.
Because we value your satisfaction, we talk you through every detail before we start. You will know exactly what to expect from the moment we arrive until we leave your home spotless. There are no hidden fees or surprises, just straightforward service meant to give you a result you can be proud of.

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 Burnham, 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.
The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
