A dull or chipped tub in Croydon 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.
Is your stained, outdated tub making your entire bathroom look dingy and neglected? You can actually restore that brilliant, glossy shine today without the mess of a costly demolition. Our local team offers a fast and affordable way to breathe new life into your existing fixtures.
First of all, ripping out an old cast iron or steel basin sounds simple until the plaster starts crumbling. Suddenly, you face massive plumbing bills because the old pipes do not line up with modern drain configurations. This means a simple weekend project quickly transforms into a multi-week nightmare that leaves your family without a functioning washroom.
Fortunately, our specialized surface refinishing process bypasses the sledgehammer entirely by working directly on what you already have. We chemically prep your worn surface and apply a high-tech, durable synthetic glaze that looks identical to brand new porcelain. Which means you save thousands of dollars while keeping your original character intact.
On top of that, older fixtures possess a level of structural integrity that modern plastic inserts simply cannot match. By choosing to recoat rather than replace, you retain that heavy-duty, solid feel underfoot while enjoying a pristine, sparkling white basin. It is the smartest shortcut to a beautiful home upgrade.
Now, let us talk about how this magic actually happens because it is not just a simple coat of hardware store paint. True professional restoration requires a meticulous multi-step process that creates a permanent chemical fusion between the old substrate and the new topcoat. We start by stripping away old soaps, oils, and previous DIY attempts that failed.
After achieving a perfectly clean state, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like microscopic anchor hooks. This critical step ensures the subsequent layers of high-performance acrylic polymer will never peel, chip, or bubble under daily hot water use. This lets you enjoy a worry-free splash zone for many years to come.
To give you a clearer picture of how our professional service compares to other common bathroom remodeling options, we compiled this handy comparison table:
| Method | Average Cost | Time to Complete | Expected Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Very High | 1 to 2 Weeks | 20+ Years |
| Acrylic Liners | High | 1 to 2 Days | 5 to 10 Years |
| Professional Resurfacing | Very Low | 4 to 6 Hours | 10 to 15 Years |
Clearly, our restoration method offers the ultimate balance of speed, affordability, and long-lasting durability for smart homeowners.
To begin, our skilled technicians carefully mask off your entire bathroom using protective paper and heavy-duty plastic sheeting. This step protects your vanity, toilet, flooring, and walls from any accidental overspray or dust during the application. We also set up a powerful industrial exhaust fan to vent all fumes directly outside through the nearest window.
Next, we address any physical damage like deep chips, rusty spots, or hairline cracks using a specialized waterproof filler. Once these imperfections are cured and sanded perfectly flush, we spray multiple coats of our premium aliphatic polyurethane finish. This material cures into an incredibly hard, non-porous barrier that resists mold, mildew, and stubborn hard water stains.
Finally, we remove all masking tape, clean up our work area, and leave your bathroom looking absolutely immaculate. You only need to wait about twenty-four hours before you can turn on the tap and enjoy your first relaxing soak. It really is that simple and stress-free.
Naturally, you want this gorgeous new shine to last as long as possible after we pack up our tools. The secret lies in avoiding abrasive bleach powder and scratchy green scrub pads that can dull the glossy finish over time. Instead, you should use mild dish soap or gentle foaming cleansers that easily wipe away grime without scratching.
Additionally, keeping your dripping faucets repaired prevents the constant water flow that can eventually wear down any coated surface. By taking these simple, low-effort precautions, your restored fixture will remain bright, smooth, and beautiful for over a decade. It is a tiny bit of maintenance for an incredibly massive return on your investment.

Many folks ask us if we can change the color of their current outdated pink or avocado green fixtures. Yes, we absolutely can transform those retro colors into a clean, modern bright white or biscuit shade. This lets you modernize your entire color scheme without buying a single piece of drywall or new tile.
Another common question is whether the process smells bad during the application. While there is a noticeable chemical odor while we spray, our heavy-duty ventilation systems pull those fumes outdoors immediately. Once the material cures after a few hours, the smell dissipates completely, leaving your home fresh 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 Croydon, 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.
