A dull or chipped tub in Centerville 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.
You probably stare at that stained, chipped porcelain every single morning while wondering how to fix the mess without spending a fortune. Luckily, there is a way to make your old basin look brand new again without ripping the whole thing out of the wall.
This clever process saves you thousands of dollars compared to a total renovation while giving you a pristine, glossy surface that feels great to the touch. By choosing this route, you avoid the massive headache of dealing with plumbers, tile workers, and construction dust for weeks on end.
When you decide to hire a local pro to handle this, you get someone who knows how to chemically bond a durable finish right over your existing tub. Think of it as a heavy-duty skin graft for your bathroom unit that seals up all the cracks where grime likes to hide.
Basically, the tech scrapes away soap scum and old caulk before applying a specialized resin that hardens into a smooth, shiny shell. Because this substance creates a non-porous layer, you end up with a surface that resists mold and mildew much better than the original factory finish.
Typically, pulling out a heavy cast iron or steel unit involves smashing tiles and potentially damaging your plumbing pipes behind the wall. That nightmare scenario usually ends with you needing a contractor to patch drywall and install new tiles, which adds up to a mountain of expenses.
Alternatively, our method takes just a single day to finish and lets you use the room again after a short curing period. You gain a fresh, spotless look that brings much needed ease and luxury back into your daily routine without the chaos of a full demo.
Living in the beautiful area of Centerville, you know that home values matter and keeping things shipshape is just good sense. Washington County, Rhode Island, is full of homes with classic charm, and we love helping neighbors keep those original features intact while upgrading their functionality.
With a population of 29,191, we see a lot of folks in our local ZIP codes looking for ways to refresh their living spaces on a budget. Whether you reside in a cozy bungalow or a larger house, maintaining your property keeps it looking sharp for years to come.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Chemical bonding process | Lasts for many years |
| Resurfacing technique | Saves money vs replacement |
| Non-porous finish | Easier to clean daily |
| Rapid turnaround time | Less time without a shower |
Once we finish spraying the new coat, you get a hard, protective shield that makes your old basin look factory fresh. You can choose from many different shades of white or off-white to match your existing tiles perfectly, which keeps everything looking harmonious and sharp.
On top of that, the high-gloss sheen reflects light and makes your entire bathroom feel larger and much brighter. This creates a peaceful sense of repose every time you step in for a soak after a long and tiring work shift.
Some people worry about the smell while we work, but we use special ventilation systems to keep the air clear throughout your home. You do not need to worry about harsh chemicals lingering because we take care of the venting process so you can breathe easy.
Another thing you might ask is how long this actually lasts, and the answer depends on how you look after it. If you use gentle cleaners rather than steel wool or abrasive powders, you can expect a beautiful, slick finish for a decade or more.
Before we arrive, you just need to clear off all your bottles, shampoos, and rubber ducks so we have a clean workspace. You should also ensure the area is dry, as moisture is the only real enemy of a good bond when applying the new material.
Beyond that, you can just sit back and watch as we transform that dull, stained basin into a gleaming highlight of your bathroom. We take pride in our work and ensure every corner is covered properly, leaving you with a job that looks professional and clean.

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 Centerville, 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.
