A dull or chipped tub in Buxton 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 downright awful right now.
Because of those ugly stains and tiny scratches, you probably dread stepping into your bathroom every single morning.
Fortunately, our local team can completely renew that worn-out basin without the massive mess of a full demolition project.
Think about how much money you will save by keeping your existing fixture in place.
This smart choice prevents you from throwing away perfectly good cast iron or steel.
Which means you get a sparkling, clean surface for a tiny fraction of the cost of buying a brand-new unit.
We believe everyone deserves a beautiful space to wash away the stress of a long day.
By choosing to restore rather than replace, you avoid the headache of hiring expensive plumbers to rip out your walls.
Now you can achieve that shiny, clean look in just a single afternoon.
First, we meticulously clean the entire area with specialized cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits.
This critical step ensures that our new coatings will stick permanently to the original porcelain or fiberglass.
Without this deep chemical scrub, the fresh finish might peel off like a bad sunburn after just a few hot showers.
Next, we carefully repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots using high-grade polyester fillers.
We smooth these patched areas down until they blend perfectly with the surrounding contours.
This attention to detail guarantees that your finished fixture looks incredibly uniform and feels wonderfully smooth to the touch.
After that, we spray on a high-tech bonding agent that acts like a chemical bridge between the old surface and our new glaze.
Then we apply several layers of a premium acrylic urethane topcoat using professional spray equipment.
This process leaves you with a deep, liquid-like gloss that looks exactly like a brand-new factory finish.
| Project Factor | Complete Replacement | Our Specialty Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High (thousands of dollars) | Extremely Budget-Friendly |
| Time to Complete | One to two weeks of chaotic construction | Usually finished in just four to six hours |
| Mess and Dust | Tons of drywall dust and broken tile debris | Virtually none, with careful area masking |
| Lifespan | Decades, but with massive upfront hassle | Ten to fifteen years with simple, proper care |
As you can see, the benefits of renewing your existing wash basin far outweigh the chaotic alternative of a complete bathroom tear-out.
This method keeps your home clean while delivering the exact same visual upgrade.
You will love showing off your refreshed bathroom to friends and family without feeling guilty about what you spent.
Moreover, we take extra precautions to protect your home by masking off the entire bathroom with heavy plastic sheeting.
We install powerful exhaust fans in the window to pull any fumes out of your living space while we spray.
This setup ensures that your indoor air remains clean and safe throughout the entire process.

Once we pack up our tools, you need to treat your shiny new basin with a little bit of love.
Always avoid abrasive cleaners like bleach powders or scratchy green scrubbing pads that can dull the gloss over time.
Instead, we recommend using mild liquid dish soaps or gentle spray cleaners to keep the surface looking brand-new.
Another great tip is to avoid using heavy bath mats with suction cups on the bottom.
These little plastic cups can trap moisture underneath and eventually pull the new finish away from the original substrate.
If you want extra traction, we can actually apply a permanent slip-resistant texture to the bottom during our application process.
On top of that, make sure you fix any leaky faucets as soon as possible.
Constant water dripping in the exact same spot for months can eventually erode even the toughest industrial coatings.
A quick washer replacement will save your plumbing fixtures and protect your beautiful new finish simultaneously.
Many folks ask us how long they have to wait before they can take a hot bath after we finish.
Generally, we recommend waiting a full twenty-four to forty-eight hours for the chemical curing process to complete.
This brief waiting period ensures the material hardens into an incredibly durable barrier against moisture.
Another common question is whether we can change the color of a dated pink or green vintage fixture.
Absolutely, we can transform any ugly retro color into a clean, modern bright white or biscuit shade.
This simple color swap instantly drags your entire bathroom out of the nineteen-seventies and into the modern era.

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 Buxton, 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.
