A dull or chipped tub in Franconia 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.
Are you tired of staring at that chipped, stained, or dated basin in your primary washroom? You can transform your space without the massive cost or mess of a total demolition by choosing to refinish the surface instead.
Getting a pristine, brand-new look for your tub is easier than you think when you hire a local pro in the heart of Grafton County. This process saves you significant money while keeping the original character of your home intact.
Essentially, this specialized trade involves applying a high-tech, durable coating over your existing basin to make it look brand new. By cleaning, etching, and spraying a specialized polymer finish, the technician creates a beautiful, non-porous layer that lasts for many years.
This method effectively hides unsightly scratches, stubborn stains, or outdated colors that just do not match your current style. Because you keep the original tub in place, you avoid all the stress of removing plumbing and hauling away heavy debris from your property.
Often, people think that replacing an old fixture is the only way to modernize their home. However, you will find that resurfacing is significantly faster, usually taking just a single day to complete.
Most homeowners in the 03580 area appreciate how this minimizes the disruption to their daily lives. You do not have to worry about contractors stomping through your halls for weeks on end while you lose the use of your main bathroom.
Replacing a tub often requires you to hire a plumber, a carpenter, and a tile setter to fix the surrounding wall damage. This chain reaction of expenses quickly drives up the total price of your renovation project into the thousands.
Conversely, our specialized coating service keeps the structure fully intact while providing a glossy, smooth finish that mimics the feel of fine porcelain. You get the same aesthetic appeal and ease of cleaning without the massive financial burden.
Living in a town with a population of about 1,104 means that neighbors often notice when you make improvements to your residence. Updating your fixtures provides a tangible boost to the perceived quality of your home when you decide to sell.
Even if you plan on staying forever, enjoying a clean, bright space every morning brings a sense of serenity to your day. Maintaining your home in this part of New Hampshire protects your investment for the future.
Does your tub have dark rings that you just cannot scrub away regardless of how hard you try? Perhaps the finish feels rough or porous, which traps dirt and mildew in ways that make it look dirty despite your best efforts.
Maybe the color is a relic from the seventies and clashes with your modern paint colors. These are the perfect indicators that a professional application of a new surface will bring your room back to life.
Once we apply the high-quality coating, the surface becomes incredibly smooth and easy to wipe down. You no longer need to rely on harsh chemicals to keep the area sanitary because bacteria and soap scum struggle to adhere to the new glaze.
This upgrade gives your bathroom an air of total luxury without the need for high-end materials. You can save your hard-earned money for other home repairs while enjoying a tub that looks like it came straight from a magazine.
While some might consider a do-it-yourself kit from the hardware store, these rarely hold up under daily use. Our professional-grade materials require specific curing and ventilation techniques that only a seasoned pro can provide correctly.
By trusting someone who performs this work daily, you ensure a uniform look that won't peel or flake in just a few months. You get a solid guarantee on the labor, which means you have complete peace of mind.
Getting a custom price for your specific needs is the first step toward reclaiming your space. Since every tub has different dimensions and levels of wear, we prefer to look at the site before giving you a firm number.

Sometimes a simple change in hue makes the biggest difference in how a room feels to you. You can choose a bright, clean white or even a soft off-white to better suit your personality.
Modern finishes reflect light in a way that makes your bathroom appear larger and more open than before. This simple change improves the visual depth of the room instantly.
You might wonder if the smell of the chemicals will linger in your house for long. While there is an odor during the application process, it dissipates quickly with proper ventilation as the product cures.
We take extra care to protect your tiles and surrounding areas with masking materials. This ensures that only the intended surface receives the new coat, keeping your bathroom looking sharp and tidy throughout the work.
Choosing to keep your original tub is often the more environmentally responsible path to take. You avoid sending a massive, heavy piece of metal or acrylic to the local landfill.

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 Franconia, 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.
