A dull or chipped tub in Contra Costa Centre 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 absolutely terrible right now. Years of scrubbing have worn down the shiny outer layer. This leaves a dull surface that seems to collect every speck of dirt.

Most homeowners dread the loud noise and endless dust of a full demolition. Our local crew comes directly to your home to handle everything on site. We bring back that sparkling clean feel in just one day. This saves you a massive amount of cash and keeps your sanity intact.

Think about the sheer scale of a traditional bathroom tear-out. You have to pay a plumber to disconnect the old fixtures. Then a crew has to literally smash your old cast iron or acrylic basin into pieces. This often ruins the surrounding tile work which adds even more costs to your final bill.
On top of that mess you might wait weeks for workers to finish. Having strangers walk through your house for days is incredibly stressful. You also lose access to your bathroom for way too long. That is a major pain if you only have one restroom in your home.
Choosing to recoat your existing fixture avoids these headaches entirely. Our process keeps your original setup exactly where it is. We simply apply a high-tech bonding agent and a fresh topcoat. This gives you a gorgeous finish that looks brand new.
Many folks worry that a sprayed-on finish will just peel off after a few months. That only happens when people use cheap DIY kits from the local hardware store. Those retail products lack the industrial strength chemicals that professional teams use. We utilize a multi-step chemical bonding system that fuses the new material directly to the old substrate.
First we clean the basin with specialized acid cleaners to strip away all soap scum and mineral deposits. After that we repair any deep chips or rust spots with a waterproof filler. This step ensures a flat surface before we apply our proprietary adhesive primer. This molecular prep work guarantees the new coating will stick for years to come.
Next we spray several coats of a high-gloss aliphatic acrylic polyurethane. This material creates a non-porous shell that resists impact and stains. You get a thick layer of protection that looks just like expensive fired porcelain. The final result is a bright surface that is incredibly easy to clean.
To help you weigh your options we put together a quick comparison table. This shows how our specialized refinishing service compares to other common bathroom updates.
| Factor | Professional Recoating | Plastic Liners | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very Affordable | Moderate to High | Extremely Expensive |
| Time to Complete | 4 to 6 Hours | 1 to 2 Days | 1 to 2 Weeks |
| Durability | 10 to 15 Years | Risk of Water Traps | Very Long Lasting |
| Mess Level | Minimal (Odor Only) | Low | Extremely High |
As you can see our process offers the best balance of cost and convenience. You get a gorgeous result without the premium price tag. It is the smartest way to upgrade your home on a budget.

Once we finish our work you will want to keep that shine alive for a long time. The secret lies in avoiding abrasive scrubbing powders and harsh bleach. These gritty cleaners will micro-scratch the new acrylic surface over time. This makes the finish look dull and traps dirt much faster.
Instead you should use mild dish soap or a foam cleanser with a soft sponge. This gentle approach is all you need because the new surface is completely non-porous. Dirt and grime simply slide off with a quick rinse. You will spend way less time scrubbing your bathroom on the weekends.
We also suggest wiping down the basin with a soft towel after use. This simple habit prevents hard water spots from building up. Taking care of your upgraded fixture is truly a breeze. Your back and knees will thank you for making the switch to an easy-to-clean surface.

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 Contra Costa Centre, 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.
