A dull or chipped tub in Evans Mills does not need a demolition crew. It needs one technician, one day and a sprayed finish that shines.

Many folks assume that a chipped or discolored basin is a goner and must go straight to the landfill. However, our specialized process bonds a durable, high-gloss liquid acrylic coating directly onto your old porcelain, cast iron, or fiberglass. This advanced technique fills in microscopic pores, seals up unsightly scratches, and covers up stubborn rust stains that you just can't scrub away anymore.
Now, you might wonder how this process actually holds up over the years under daily use. Because we use top-tier industrial bonding agents, the new layer fuses with the original material on a chemical level. This ensures your newly coated fixture resists peeling, cracking, and yellowing for a very long time to come.
On top of that, the entire project takes only a few hours to complete from start to finish. Instead of waiting weeks for contractors to finish a messy construction project, you can use your sparkling clean shower again in just a day or two. It is truly the ultimate shortcut to a modern, clean bathroom look.
If you decide to rip out your old heavy tub, you are opening up a massive can of worms. Often, old pipes hide behind those bathroom walls, and disturbing them leads to expensive emergency plumbing repairs. Suddenly, a simple cosmetic update turns into a multi-thousand-dollar disaster that keeps your home in disarray for weeks.
This lets you see why keeping your original fixture in place makes so much sense. You save money, avoid structural headaches, and keep sturdy old-school materials out of our local landfills. It is a win-win situation for your wallet and the environment.
First, we meticulously clean the old surface with specialized alkaline cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This step is critical because even the tiniest speck of grease can ruin the adhesion of the new coating. We take our time here to ensure a flawless foundation.
Next, we repair any deep dings, chips, or cracks using a heavy-duty polyester filler that cures quickly. After sanding those patches flat, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding agent to prep the surface. Finally, we spray multiple layers of a high-tech acrylic urethane topcoat using professional HVLP spray equipment.
To help you visualize the comparison between these two paths, we created this handy breakdown:
| Feature | Professional Resurfacing | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Time | 4 to 6 Hours | 3 to 7 Days |
| Demolition Mess | None | Extensive dust and debris |
| Total Cost | Very Budget-Friendly | Extremely Expensive |
| Lifespan | 10 to 15 Years | 20+ Years |

Cleaning old, porous grout can feel like an endless, frustrating battle that you never seem to win. Fortunately, our process can also coat the surrounding wall tile, sealing those pesky grout lines completely. This creates a solid, non-porous barrier that mold and mildew simply cannot penetrate.
Which means you will spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemicals. A simple wipe down with a mild, non-abrasive soap keeps your bathroom shining effortlessly. You get to enjoy a clean, sanitary space with minimal effort.
If you plan to sell your property down the road, a dated bathroom can seriously scare off potential buyers. Buyers inspect bathrooms very closely, and a dingy, stained basin instantly lowers their offer. By investing a small amount into restoring its shine, you dramatically increase the appeal of your entire home.
This lets you maximize your return on investment without taking on a massive home equity loan. It is one of the smartest cosmetic upgrades a homeowner can make before putting a house on the market. You get to enjoy the fresh look now, and reap the financial rewards later.
You don't have to stick with the traditional bright white finish if you want to spice things up. We offer a variety of gorgeous colors and modern stone-look finishes to match any decor style you dream up. You can easily coordinate your newly coated fixture with your existing vanity, flooring, and paint colors.
Additionally, we can add a slip-resistant surface to the bottom of the basin during the application process. This built-in safety feature helps protect your family from dangerous slips and falls without the need for ugly, mold-collecting rubber mats. It provides peace of mind while maintaining a sleek, clean aesthetic.
No matter which options you choose, our meticulous attention to detail ensures a smooth, glossy finish that feels wonderful to the touch. We never cut corners, and we use exhaust fans to safely vent any fumes out of your home during the application. Your convenience and safety are always our top priorities.
To keep your restored fixture looking like new for over a decade, you must avoid abrasive cleaners like Ajax or Comet. These harsh powders act like sandpaper and will quickly dull the beautiful gloss of your new topcoat. Instead, stick to gentle liquid cleaners and soft sponges.
Also, make sure you fix leaky faucets quickly because constant dripping can wear down the finish prematurely over time. Do not leave wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting on the rim for extended periods. With just a little bit of common sense, your bathroom will look sensational for many years to come.

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 Evans Mills, 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.
