All over Clarendon County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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You can instantly transform your outdated bathroom today. Our professional surface restoration services bring your faded tub back to life. You will save thousands of dollars compared to a messy and expensive replacement project.
Think about the last time you stared at that ugly, stained tub. It probably made you feel a bit frustrated. Fortunately, we offer a fast and affordable way to make it look brand new again.
Our team specializes in applying a durable, high-gloss protective coating right over your existing fixture. This process eliminates the need for tearing out walls or plumbing. You get a gorgeous, shiny finish that lasts for years to come.
Initially, you might wonder how we achieve such a dramatic transformation. We do not just paint over the old surface. Instead, our skilled technicians use a meticulous multi-step chemical bonding method.
First, we thoroughly clean the area using specialized industrial prep agents. This step removes all old soap scum, mineral deposits, and body oils. After that, we repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots.
Consequently, the new finish bonds perfectly to the original structure. We then use professional spray equipment to apply a high-tech acrylic coating. This creates a non-porous barrier that looks exactly like brand new porcelain.

By opting for this smart service, you immediately avoid the chaotic mess of home demolition. Traditional remodeling projects often drag on for weeks and disrupt your daily routine. Our process takes less than a single day, meaning your life gets back to normal quickly.
Additionally, you will find that cleaning your shiny new surface is incredibly easy. The non-porous coating resists mold, mildew, and tough hard water stains. You can throw away those harsh abrasive cleaners and simply wipe the surface with a soft sponge.
Furthermore, this update instantly boosts the overall appeal and value of your entire home. If you plan to sell your property, a bright bathroom makes a fantastic first impression on buyers. You get the maximum return on your investment without spending a fortune.
To start, we never cut corners during the critical surface preparation phase. Many cheap DIY kits fail because the user did not prep the area correctly. We use professional-grade etching compounds that create microscopic pores for the new coating to grip onto.
Following that, we apply a specialized molecular bonding agent designed for wet environments. This primer acts like superglue between the old porcelain and the new acrylic topcoat. It prevents peeling, bubbling, and lifting over time.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of our premium aliphatic polyurethane finish. This material is incredibly tough and resists yellowing from UV light exposure. Your fixture retains its brilliant luster and cozy warmth for up to fifteen years.
Perhaps your current tub is a depressing shade of outdated pink or harvest gold. We can easily change that color to a clean, modern bright white or biscuit. You do not have to live with vintage design choices anymore.
Maybe your fixture has suffered unsightly damage from dropped heavy objects or harsh chemicals. We regularly repair deep chips, rusty drains, and spiderweb cracks in fiberglass. Our repairs are completely seamless and virtually invisible once we finish.
Sometimes, the original factory glaze simply wears thin after decades of scrubbing. This leaves a dull, rough surface that traps dirt and feels unpleasant against your skin. Our process restores that smooth, luxurious feel you love.
Of course, we believe in being completely transparent with our valued customers. One minor drawback is that the curing process requires you to wait about twenty-four hours before using the water. However, this short wait is a tiny inconvenience compared to weeks of remodeling noise.
Another point to consider is that you must avoid using bleach or abrasive scrubbing pads afterward. These harsh products can scratch the shiny protective coating over time. Stick to mild dish soap or gentle spray cleaners to keep it looking perfect.
On the bright side, the pros heavily outweigh these minor limitations. You get a gorgeous, glossy bathroom feature at a fraction of replacement costs. It is the most cost-effective way to modernize your space today.
First, our technician masks off the entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheeting. This step protects your vanity, toilet, walls, and mirrors from any overspray. We also set up a heavy-duty exhaust fan to vent all fumes safely outdoors.
Next, we remove all the old caulk around the perimeter of the fixture. This is crucial because the new coating will not stick to silicone or acrylic caulking. We then perform our deep cleaning and acid-etching procedure.
Once the surface is dry and repaired, we spray the primer and topcoats. After the material cures, we return to apply fresh, clean mildew-resistant caulk. You are left with a pristine, beautiful bathroom that looks like a magazine cover.
Why spend another day looking at a stained, ugly, or outdated tub? You deserve a clean and inviting space to relax after a long day of work. Our friendly team is ready to help you achieve that dream bathroom without breaking the bank.

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, 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.
