Many homeowners assume they must tear out a worn-out basin to make their bathroom look nice again.
However, that process usually involves breaking tiles, moving heavy cast iron, and hiring expensive plumbers.
You quickly end up with a giant bill and a house full of plaster dust.
On top of that, the costs of a full remodel can get out of hand incredibly fast.
This lets you avoid those financial headaches by choosing a modern chemical bonding process instead.
Our high-quality liquid coating seals up the old surface so it looks brand new.
As a matter of fact, the older fixtures are actually made of much stronger materials than modern cheap plastic ones.
Keeping your heavy cast iron or steel piece preserves the solid structure of your home.
You get to keep that vintage durability while enjoying a bright, clean surface that is incredibly easy to wash.

You might wonder how a liquid compound can stick to slippery porcelain.
To start, we perform an intensive deep clean using specialized acids to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits.
This step is critical because any leftover oils will ruin the adhesion of the new layer.
Next, we repair every single chip, scratch, and rust spot with a heavy-duty polyester filler.
After that, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically fuses the new coating to the old porcelain.
This creates a molecular bridge so the topcoat will never peel or bubble under normal use.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of an advanced acrylic urethane using high-tech spray guns.
This material cures into a rock-hard finish that mimics the depth and luster of original kiln-fired enamel.
You can actually start using your refreshed shower area in just twenty-four hours.

Many folks ask us if their specific setup is suitable for this specialized spray-on renewal process.
Fortunately, we can successfully work on traditional cast iron, pressed steel, and even modern fiberglass units.
Each material requires a slightly different preparation method to ensure the bond holds forever.
For instance, fiberglass gelcoats often crack and flex, which requires us to install a reinforced bottom support first.
Once we strengthen the base, the new glossy coating prevents water from leaking through those hairline fractures.
This saves you from expensive subfloor rot that ruins joists under the bathroom floor.
You do not have to stick with the standard bright white if you want something different.
While classic white is the most popular choice for resale value, we also offer almond, biscuit, and modern gray tones.
This allows you to match your existing toilet and sink without buying a whole new ceramic set.
Our coatings retain their color over time because they contain strong ultraviolet inhibitors.
Which means your basin will not turn a nasty yellow shade when sunlight streams through your bathroom window.
You get a consistent, beautiful finish that stays bright for years to come.
Taking care of your newly finished basin is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, porous one.
Since the new surface is completely non-porous, dirt and grime have a hard time sticking to it.
You simply wipe it down with a soft sponge and a mild liquid dish soap.
However, you must avoid abrasive scouring powders or harsh scrubbing pads.
These rough tools will scratch the glossy finish and dull the shine over time.
Treat it with the same care you would give the paint job on a brand-new car.
On top of that, we recommend keeping leaky faucets repaired quickly.
Constant dripping can wear down even the toughest industrial coatings over several years.
Taking care of these small plumbing issues protects your investment and keeps your bathroom looking pristine.

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 Fort Sumner, 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.
