A dull or chipped tub in Gulf Stream 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.
Do you look at your old stained tub and feel totally bummed out about it? Well, replacing that heavy porcelain monster costs a fortune and tears up your whole bathroom. Fortunately, getting a shiny new surface right over the old one saves you both time and cash.
Meanwhile, homeowners in this gorgeous Palm Beach County hamlet often struggle with outdated fixtures ruining their interior aesthetic. That lovely coastal breeze brings salty air, which accelerates rust and dulls your porcelain finish faster than normal. Thankfully, our local team handles these exact surface dilemmas every single day with total confidence.
Tearing out cabinetry, tile, and plumbing leads to weeks of messy demolition chaos in your home. Instead, spraying a fresh acrylic polymer layer keeps your existing structure completely intact. This clever trick lets you skip expensive dumpster rentals and contractor crews.
Additionally, skipping the demo phase protects your neighboring tiles and vintage flooring from accidental damage. You keep your bathroom layout untouched while enjoying a brand new glossy sheen that feels luxurious. That means more money stays safely in your bank account for other household projects.
Living right by the ocean means your metal fixtures battle constant moisture and oxidation issues constantly. Over time, that relentless humidity eats away at the original factory glaze and causes ugly brown rust rings. Applying a fresh chemical bonding agent seals out moisture and stops corrosion in its tracks.
Furthermore, our humid local climate requires specialized marine-grade topcoats that resist peeling and bubbling. This advanced coating technology ensures your newly revitalized tub stays gorgeous despite the salty weather outside. You get long-lasting durability without constantly worrying about premature flaking.
First off, we scrub away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water scale using industrial strippers. Next, an acidic etching solution opens up the microscopic pores of your old cast iron or fiberglass. This crucial preparation step guarantees the new coating adheres permanently without any future lifting.
After that messy scrubbing phase, we neutralize the surface and dry everything completely with high-powered blowers. Any chips, cracks, or deep gouges get filled with waterproof polyester putty and sanded smooth. You end up with a flawless canvas ready for the final bonding layers.
Now comes the fun part where we spray multiple coats of specialized acrylic polyurethane armor onto the basin. This high-tech material cures rapidly under ventilation hoods to create a rock-hard shield against everyday scratches. Which means you can safely take relaxing baths without stressing over minor scuffs.
Eventually, the curing process finishes and leaves behind a mirror-like shine that brightens the entire room. You will notice how much easier it is to wipe down those slippery walls now. Best of all, that non-porous barrier resists stubborn mildew growth completely.
| Renovation Approach | Average Cost | Time Required | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Tub Replacement | High | One to Two Weeks | Extreme Dust and Debris |
| Acrylic Liner Insertion | Medium | Several Days | Moderate Installation Work |
| Professional Surface Spraying | Low | Just One Day | Minimal Clean-up Needed |
Looking at that handy comparison table makes the smartest financial choice pretty obvious for most property owners. Why endure weeks of construction dust when you can upgrade your wash basin before dinner time? On top of that, our targeted local service handles the mess so you stay completely stress-free.
Besides saving money, this swift transformation prevents weeks of plumbing disruptions in your household routine. You deserve a hassle-free home improvement experience that actually respects your busy schedule. Therefore, choosing a surface refresh represents the most logical path forward.
Keeping your newly sprayed basin looking pristine requires ditching those harsh abrasive scouring powders immediately. Instead, switch to gentle liquid dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth for your routine wipedowns. This simple habit preserves that glossy factory finish for many years to come.
Furthermore, avoiding rubber suction-cup bath mats prevents moisture from trapping underneath and softening the new coating. If you really love stepping onto a mat, just remove it to dry right after every bath. Taking these tiny preventative steps protects your investment brilliantly.
Sometimes heavy dropped objects can cause a tiny chip in your protective polymer barrier over time. When that happens, reach out to our technicians immediately rather than ignoring the small damage. Fixing a tiny nick takes minutes and prevents water from seeping underneath the surface.
Additionally, keeping your bathroom well-ventilated during showers stops excessive steam buildup on the newly coated walls. You can simply run your exhaust fan or crack a window slightly to regulate indoor humidity levels. This proactive approach keeps your bathroom sparkling clean effortlessly.

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 Gulf Stream, 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.
