Got an old bathtub making your bathroom look, well, old? You absolutely don't have to tear everything out to get a fresh vibe. We can make that tired soak spot look brand new, and we'll give you a free estimate to prove it.
Honestly, nobody likes a grungy, chipped, or stained bathtub staring back at them when they just wanna relax. What happens is, over time, all that soap scum, harsh cleaners, and even just plain old water can really do a number on your bathing fixture's surface. In fact, it starts to look pretty beat up, makin' your whole bathroom feel kinda sad and outdated.
You see, that dull look isn't just about appearance; it can actually feel rough or gritty under your fingers. Consequently, scrubbing it harder only seems to make things worse, wearing down the finish even more. Furthermore, it feels like a never-ending battle to keep it clean, which is super frustrating for anyone tryin' to maintain a nice home.
Now, your first thought might be, "Oh man, I gotta replace this whole thing, don't I?" Believe it or not, ripping out an entire bathtub is a huge, messy, and super expensive undertaking. Basically, you're looking at demolishin' walls, dealin' with plumbing, and then trying to fit a new tub through your doorway.
Moreover, getting rid of the old tub and hauling in a new one takes forever, turning your bathroom into a construction zone for days, maybe even weeks. This usually means you'll be without a crucial bathroom fixture for a long stretch of time. Because of this, it's not just the money, it's the massive disruption to your daily life that really stings.
Instead of all that headache, there's this really cool process that can totally transform your old bathing fixture right where it sits. What we do is give your tub a whole new lease on life by applying a fresh, durable coating right over the existing surface. Pretty much, it's like a complete makeover without the major surgery.
Consequently, this means your worn-out tub can get that shiny, smooth, factory-fresh look again without any of the demolition mess. Think about it: no dust flying everywhere, no smashing up tiles, and no surprise plumbing nightmares. For instance, you get to keep your current setup but with an amazing fresh face.
First off, we start by giving your tub a super thorough cleaning, making sure every speck of dirt and grime is gone. Then, any chips, cracks, or imperfections get totally repaired and smoothed out, making the surface perfect. This step is crucial because it creates a flawless canvas for the new finish.
Next up, we apply a special primer that helps the new coating stick super strong. Afterwards, we spray on several layers of a tough, specialized finish, which bonds right to your old tub. This whole process gives you a waterproof, long-lasting surface that looks amazing and feels incredibly smooth to the touch.
Ultimately, once that new coat cures, your tub is ready for action again, often in less time than you'd expect for such a transformation. For sure, you'll be amazed at how a tired old tub can suddenly look like it just rolled off the assembly line. Because of this, you save tons of time and avoid major disruption.
Actually, there are so many perks to giving your tub this kind of upgrade, it's almost silly not to consider it. Most importantly, you save a ton of cash compared to buying and installing a brand-new tub, which is a big win for your wallet. This means you can use those extra funds for other cool home projects or maybe even a little trip.
Another thing is the sheer speed of it all. Really, we can often get your tub looking fantastic in just a day or two, not weeks like a full replacement. This lets you get back to your regular routine much faster, enjoying your newly revitalized bathroom without the wait.
Also, think about the mess, or lack thereof! You know, there's hardly any demolition involved, so your house stays way cleaner than with a tear-out job. This is great for keeping your home life peaceful and avoiding a massive cleanup operation later.
Moreover, getting this kind of treatment for your tub totally renews the look of your entire bathroom. Suddenly, that old, dingy tub isn't dragging down the whole room anymore; instead, it becomes a bright, clean focal point. Consequently, your bathroom feels fresh, inviting, and a lot more modern without needing a full remodel.
To tell the truth, a gleaming tub just makes everything feel nicer and more hygienic, doesn't it? This gives you a lovely, pristine surface that's easy to clean and maintains its fresh appearance for years to come. Ultimately, it's about bringing back that spark and appeal to a vital part of your home.
Plus, this method is super versatile and can be used on all sorts of bathing fixtures, from cast iron to fiberglass. Regardless of what kind of tub you have, chances are we can give it a fantastic new surface. This means almost any old soak spot can be saved and given a second life.

You might be wonderin', "Can I still pick a color, or am I stuck with white?" Luckily, you've got options! We can apply this specialized coating in various shades, so you're not just limited to the basic white. This means you can actually match your tub to your bathroom's vibe, or even try something totally new.
Furthermore, a lot of folks worry about how long this kind of finish actually lasts. Well, with proper care, these renewed surfaces can hold up for many, many years, sometimes even a decade or more. Just imagine, you get a beautiful, fresh tub that stands the test of time, giving you great value for your investment.
To make sure your freshly coated bathing fixture stays awesome, a little TLC goes a long way. Specifically, avoiding super harsh, abrasive cleaners is key, as they can wear down any finish over time. Instead, sticking to mild, non-abrasive cleaners will keep your tub sparkling without damaging its surface.
Another good tip is to fix any leaky faucets pretty quickly, because constant drips can sometimes stain or etch a surface. Obviously, nobody wants ugly water spots ruining their nice new finish.

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 Chinatown, 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.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
