A dull or chipped tub in District Heights 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.
You can finally stop hiding your stained bathroom fixtures behind heavy shower curtains. Our local team specializes in breathing fresh life into worn out bathing basins right in your home. By applying a durable new finish directly to your existing tub, we save you from the massive headaches of a full demolition project.
Naturally, this smart update gives you the exact same clean feeling of a brand new installation. You will also love keeping thousands of hard earned dollars in your pocket. To make things even better, we offer a completely free estimate to help you plan your budget with total peace of mind.
Indeed, the process is incredibly fast and lets you use your shower again in just a couple of days. Why deal with messy drywall dust and loud hammering when a gorgeous, glossy finish is just a phone call away? Let us show you how simple home improvement can actually be.
First, let us talk about what actually happens during this specialized transformation. We do not just paint over your old surface because that would simply peel off in a few weeks. Instead, we use professional grade bonding agents and topcoats that fuse directly with the original cast iron, steel, or fiberglass body.
This means your worn out, chipped, or outdated color scheme completely disappears under a thick, beautiful protective layer. On top of that, the final result looks just like shiny new porcelain. Your friends will honestly think you spent a fortune on a brand new tub.
Consequently, this process seals up old porous surfaces where mold and mildew love to hide. Cleaning becomes a absolute breeze because dirt has nowhere to stick anymore. You will spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemicals.
Before we even open a single bottle of sealant, our technicians meticulously clean the entire area. This crucial step removes years of soap scum, body oils, and old mineral deposits that could ruin the bond. We even repair any deep chips or rust spots so the final surface is completely flat and smooth.
Next, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to keep your home safe. This careful preparation guarantees that the specialized spray only lands exactly where it is supposed to go. We also set up temporary ventilation fans to draw any strong chemical odors right out the window while we work.
After that, we apply our signature bonding agent followed by multiple coats of high gloss acrylic polyurethane. This heavy duty material cures into a rock hard shield that resists daily wear and tear. You get a gorgeous, sparkling bathroom center piece that will look incredible for years to come.
Since we live and work right here in Prince George's County, we understand the unique homes in our neighborhood. Many houses built around here decades ago feature incredibly sturdy cast iron tubs that are simply too heavy and difficult to remove. Keeping those classic fixtures while updating their look is our absolute specialty.
Moreover, we take immense pride in helping our neighbors in the local 20747 and 20753 area codes upgrade their homes. With a median household income of $70,382 in this tight knit community of 5,975 residents, we know that smart spending is a top priority for everyone. Our budget friendly services fit perfectly into your financial plans without sacrificing quality.

To help you make the best decision for your home, we put together a quick comparison table. This shows how our specialized surface restoration stacks up against traditional bathroom remodeling methods.
| Project Factor | Full Replacement | Acrylic Tub Liners | Our Restoration Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High ($3,000 - $8,000) | High ($1,500 - $4,000) | Very Affordable |
| Time to Complete | 3 to 7 Days of Mess | 1 to 2 Days | Less than 24 Hours |
| Demolition Needed | Yes, extreme mess | No, but traps moisture | None at all |
| Lifespan | 15+ Years | 5 to 10 Years | Up to 10-15 Years with care |
Clearly, choosing to restore your existing fixture is the most sensible path for your wallet and your sanity. You avoid the risk of plumbers finding hidden water damage behind your walls which always inflates the final bill. Our upfront pricing ensures there are absolutely no scary surprises when the job is done.
Once our team finishes the job, you will want to keep that beautiful shine looking fresh forever. Fortunately, maintaining your newly finished surface is incredibly simple if you follow a few basic rules. The most important thing to remember is to throw away your abrasive scrubbing powders and scratchy green pads.
Instead, you should always use mild liquid dish soaps or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners. This simple habit keeps the protective topcoat from getting micro scratches that dull the shine over time. A quick wipe down with a soft microfiber towel after each shower works wonders too.
Additionally, please make sure you do not leave wet bottles of shampoo or heavy metal cans sitting directly on the ledge. Moisture trapped underneath these items can eventually weaken the bond over several years. Taking care of your restored fixture ensures it stays beautiful for a decade or more.
We always warn our wonderful clients to avoid those cheap rubber bathmats with suction cups on the bottom. The constant pulling action from those cups can slowly lift the new finish right off the tub floor. This is a very common mistake that is easily avoided.
To solve this safety issue, we can apply a permanent, slip resistant texture directly into the new coating during our process. This built in safety feature keeps you secure on your feet without damaging the beautiful surface. Just ask us about this option when we come out to look at your bathroom.
Now is the perfect time to take action and turn your outdated bathroom into a peaceful haven. You do not have to live with that ugly, hard to clean tub for another single day. Our friendly local experts are ready to drive out to your home and give you a detailed, honest assessment.
Which means you can get all your questions answered with zero pressure and absolutely no obligation. We will walk you through the color options, discuss the timeline, and hand you a written estimate that we stand by. This is the easiest home improvement decision you will ever make.
So why wait to enjoy the clean, bright, and inviting bathroom you truly deserve? Simply give us a call to schedule your free home visit today. We cannot wait to meet you and transform your space into something truly beautiful.
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 District Heights, 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.
