A dull or chipped tub in Eden 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 instantly rescue your ugly, stained wash basin or showering tub without paying for a messy, expensive demolition. Our local team brings these worn-out fixtures back to life with a durable, sparkling finish. Grab a free estimate today to save thousands of dollars on your upcoming home remodel.
Maybe you look at your old cast iron tub every morning and feel a bit discouraged by those stubborn rust stains. This special chemical bonding process coats your existing fixture with a tough, high-gloss acrylic polyurethane layer. Which means you get a gorgeous, shiny surface that looks identical to a brand-new installation from a showroom.
Actually, replacing a heavy porcelain basin requires ripping out walls, hiring expensive plumbers, and dealing with piles of dusty debris. Our on-site service avoids all that chaos by restoring the original piece right where it sits. This lets you bypass the nightmare of construction delays while keeping your hard-earned money in your pocket.
On top of that, the entire project takes only a few hours from start to finish. You will love how quickly our technicians prep the area, repair any deep chips, and spray the fresh topcoat. Within just twenty-four hours, your family can jump right back into using the upgraded space without any hassle.
When you consider the staggering price of modern bathroom remodels, finding affordable alternatives becomes a major priority. Our budget-friendly restoration technique costs a mere fraction of what you would pay for a total replacement project. Naturally, this financial relief allows you to allocate your hard-earned cash toward other pressing home improvement needs.
In addition to saving money, you also preserve the unique vintage charm of older cast iron or steel models. Many classic homes in this beautiful coastal region of Hancock County feature deep, sturdy basins that boast superior craftsmanship compared to modern plastic replicas. Our meticulous sealing process protects that historical character while removing decades of unsightly discoloration and scratch marks.
To give you a better idea of how these two options stack up, let us look at a quick comparison table:
| Project Factor | Full Replacement | Professional Refinishing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very high (plumbing + tile work) | Highly affordable and cost-effective |
| Timeframe | Several days to weeks of mess | Completed in just one single day |
| Durability | Depends on material quality | Lasts for many years with proper care |
As you can see, choosing to restore instead of replace offers incredible value for your household budget. We make sure the final result delivers maximum coziness and aesthetic appeal to elevate your daily routine.
First, we clean the target area with specialized heavy-duty solutions to strip away soap scum, mineral deposits, and body oils. This critical preparation step ensures that the new bonding agents adhere perfectly to the original porcelain or fiberglass. Without this deep cleaning phase, the fresh coating could eventually peel or blister over time.
Next, our crew repairs any physical damage like deep cracks, rust spots, or accidental chips using a high-grade polyester filler. Once we sand those repaired spots completely flat, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding agent to lock everything together. This advanced chemical primer acts like a superglue that fuses the old substrate with our premium topcoat.
Finally, we use professional spray equipment to apply multiple layers of high-gloss acrylic urethane coating. This careful application creates a non-porous barrier that resists impact damage, mold growth, and common household cleaning chemicals. You end up with a flawless, glassy finish that makes your whole bathroom feel incredibly clean and inviting.
To keep this refreshed surface looking pristine, you only need to follow a few simple maintenance guidelines. We always advise clients to avoid abrasive scrubbing pads or harsh bleach-based cleaners that can dull the shiny topcoat. Instead, a gentle wipe-down with mild dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth keeps the shine alive.
Consequently, your restored fixture will easily maintain its beautiful luster for up to a decade or even longer. This longevity means you get peace of mind knowing your home value remains strong without recurring maintenance fees. It is a simple habit change that yields massive long-term benefits for your peace of mind.
Living in a scenic coastal area like Eden, Maine, means dealing with unique moisture challenges and seasonal temperature swings. Our team understands how local water quality and humidity levels can affect the curing process of our specialized coatings. We adjust our application techniques to match these local conditions perfectly so your new finish cures flawlessly.

With a local population of 5,235 residents, this vibrant community deserves top-tier home services that do not break the bank. We take immense pride in helping our neighbors update their homes while respecting the natural beauty of our shared environment.

Choosing to restore your existing bathroom fixtures also keeps heavy, non-biodegradable materials out of our local landfills.

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 Eden, 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.
