A dull or chipped tub in Cumberland Foreside 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.

You can instantly transform your dingy bathroom into a bright oasis.
Getting a free estimate today will save you thousands of dollars on your home renovation.
We help you achieve that clean look fast.
Perhaps you look at your old cast iron tub every morning and sigh at those stubborn stains.
Replacing these heavy fixtures involves ripping out walls and spending a fortune on plumbing.
Fortunately, our team in Cumberland County specializes in a much smarter way to bring back that original shine.
Instead of swinging sledgehammers, we use advanced chemistry to bond a durable new glaze onto your existing fixture.
This process involves stripping away old oils, repairing deep chips, and spraying a high-tech coating.
As a result, your worn out basin gets a glossy, rock-hard finish that looks brand new.
Actually, many homeowners confuse this service with cheap DIY paint kits from the local hardware store.
Those retail products usually peel within a few months because they lack professional-grade bonding agents.
Our industrial materials require precise ventilation equipment and safety gear to cure correctly.
This means you get a factory-like luster that stands up to daily showers for many years.
On top of that, we complete the entire job in just a single afternoon.
You avoid weeks of construction dust and noisy contractors running through your hallway.
To help you compare your options, we created a quick cost breakdown of bathroom updates.
| Project Type | Average Duration | Mess Factor | Relative Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Fixture Replacement | 3 to 5 Days | Very High | Expensive |
| Our Surface Restoration | 4 to 6 Hours | Extremely Low | Highly Affordable |
If you choose the replacement route, you must pay for the new unit, the demo labor, and the landfill fees.
Which means your final bill can easily skyrocket past your initial expectations.
Our localized restoration service bypasses all those extra headaches to keep your hard-earned money in your pocket.
Naturally, saving money feels great, but keeping old materials out of Maine landfills feels even better.
By choosing to restore rather than discard, you actively support eco-friendly home remodeling practices.
It is a win-win situation for both your wallet and the local environment.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheeting.
This setup ensures that no overspray lands on your vanity, toilet, or freshly painted walls.
Then, we hook up a heavy-duty exhaust fan to channel all fumes safely out the nearest window.
Next, we apply a specialized acid etch to create microscopic pores in the old porcelain or fiberglass.
Which allows our proprietary molecular primer to grip the original substrate with incredible strength.
After that, we spray multiple layers of our premium topcoat to build a deep, rich luster.
Once we finish spraying, the new surface needs about twenty-four hours to cure fully.
After this brief waiting period, you can peel off the tape and enjoy your sparkling washroom.
Maintaining this new finish only requires gentle, non-abrasive cleaners to keep it looking pristine.
Whether you have a dated pink tub from the seventies or a chipped acrylic unit, we can fix it.
We regularly repair deep gouges, rust spots around the drain, and hairline cracks.
These repairs disappear completely under our seamless topcoat.
Additionally, we can update the color of your wall tiles at the exact same time.
This lets you modernize your entire bath surround without removing a single ceramic piece.
You get a cohesive, bright look that makes your whole bathroom feel incredibly spacious.
Living near the ocean in beautiful Cumberland Foreside, Maine, means we appreciate historic charm and quality preservation.
Many homes in this scenic area, with its 7,211 residents, feature gorgeous vintage architecture that deserves careful upkeep.
With a median household income well above the national average, local families expect top-tier craftsmanship.
Whether your home sits near the shoreline or closer to Route 88, we arrive promptly at your doorstep.
We know the unique plumbing quirks of older properties throughout the 04110 ZIP code area.
This local experience allows us to handle tricky drain setups without causing leaks or damage.
Furthermore, we understand how harsh northern winters make indoor construction projects highly inconvenient.
Nobody wants cold drafts coming through their home while workers haul large pieces of debris outside.
Our quick, self-contained process keeps your home warm, clean, and peaceful during the coldest months.
To maximize the lifespan of your beautiful new finish, you should avoid suction-cup bath mats.
These mats trap water underneath, which can eventually weaken the bond of the new coating.
Instead, we can apply an integrated slip-resistant texture directly to the bottom of your basin.
Similarly, swap out harsh scrubbing powders for liquid dish soap or mild spray cleaners.
A quick wipe down with a soft microfiber cloth after each shower works wonders.
This simple routine prevents soap scum buildup and keeps the surface gleaming like glass.
If you ever drop a heavy metal tool and chip the surface, do not panic.
We can easily touch up small spots without having to redo the entire fixture.
This level of convenience makes our restoration method the most practical choice for busy households.

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 Cumberland Foreside, 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.
The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
