A dull or chipped tub in Fruitridge Pocket 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.
Maybe you look at your outdated tub every morning and feel a small piece of your soul wither away. If the dull finish and strange stains make you want to close the bathroom door and never look back, you are definitely not alone. Fortunately, a complete demolition is not your only option to get that beautiful, clean space you deserve.
Fortunately, our specialized team brings premium surface restoration directly to your home. This means you can bypass the absolute nightmare of tearing out plumbing and walls. By choosing this smart upgrade, you save thousands of dollars while achieving a glossy finish that looks identical to a brand-new fixture.
Actually, many homeowners do not realize how simple the process is when handled by experienced professionals. We offer free on-site estimates to assess your current setup and explain how we can revitalize your wash basin in just a single day. Let us take a closer look at how this process works and why it makes so much sense for your home budget.
First of all, ripping out an old cast iron or steel tub is an absolute logistical nightmare. You have to hire plumbers, pay carpenters to fix the drywall, and figure out how to haul a three-hundred-pound monster down your hallway. This chaotic mess can easily drag on for weeks and leave you without a usable bathroom.
Instead of dealing with that headache, our advanced chemical bonding process targets only the worn-out layer of your existing fixture. We apply a durable, high-gloss topcoat that fuses directly to the original porcelain or fiberglass. Consequently, you get a sparkling, pristine surface without any of the dusty demolition chaos.
On top of that, the financial savings are simply too massive to ignore. While a full remodel can easily climb into the thousands, our localized restoration service costs only a fraction of that amount. Which means you can save your hard-earned cash for other important home improvement projects or family expenses.
Initially, we focus on meticulous preparation because even the most expensive coatings will fail if the surface has dirt or soap scum. We use specialized cleaners to strip away decades of oils, hard water deposits, and old caulking. This critical step ensures the new materials will stick permanently to the underlying structure.
Next, we repair any unsightly chips, deep scratches, or rust spots that have developed over the years. We fill these imperfections with waterproof polyester resins that cure quickly and create a perfectly flat canvas. After sanding everything smooth, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding agent to lock the new layers in place.
Finally, our technicians spray several layers of a high-tech acrylic urethane coating using specialized ventilation equipment to keep your home safe. This material cures into an incredibly hard, non-porous barrier that resists impact and stains. As a result, your fixture gains a beautiful luster that is incredibly easy to keep clean.
To help you make the best decision for your household, we have put together a quick comparison of the three most common ways people try to fix an ugly wash area.
| Method | Average Cost | Time Required | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Very High | 1 to 2 Weeks | Long-term |
| Plastic Liners | Medium-High | 1 to 2 Days | Risk of water traps |
| Professional Resurfacing | Low-Medium | 4 to 6 Hours | Excellent (10 to 15 years) |
One written quote, no pressure, and the work only starts when you say so. Plastic liners often trap moisture underneath, which leads to nasty mold growth and bad smells. Our seamless spray application completely eliminates that risk by sealing every single gap.

When our technician arrives at your home, they will first inspect the integrity of your current fixture.

To keep your restored surface looking brand new, you should avoid harsh abrasive cleaners like bleach or scrubbing powders. These rough chemicals can dull the beautiful shine over time and create microscopic scratches. Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner and a soft sponge.
Additionally, keeping your dripping faucets fixed will prevent rust stains from forming around the drain area. Taking care of your newly coated basin is incredibly simple and requires very little effort on your part. With just basic care, your beautiful finish will look gorgeous for up to fifteen years.

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 Fruitridge Pocket, 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.
