A dull or chipped tub in Hopkinton 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.
You wake up every single morning only to face that gross, stained basin in your bathroom.

By choosing to restore what you already own, you bypass the dusty chaos of demolition while achieving a clean, brilliant finish that looks brand new. We proudly serve our small, quiet community of 1,077 residents nestled within St. Lawrence County by offering top-tier craftsmanship right at your doorstep.
This budget-friendly process works wonders on outdated porcelain, fiberglass, and cast iron surfaces alike. If you are ready to stop squinting at those ugly stains, we are happy to visit your home and provide a detailed, complimentary cost estimate today.
| Project Factor | Complete Replacement | Professional Surface Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Extremely High (thousands of dollars) | Very Affordable (fraction of replacement) |
| Time to Complete | Several days or weeks of messy construction | Usually finished in just a single afternoon |
| Mess & Stress | Tons of drywall dust, broken tiles, and noise | Virtually none, with minimal disruption to your day |
First, we carefully prep your entire bathroom area to ensure that every single inch of your floor and walls stays completely protected. Next, our technicians apply specialized etching compounds to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and old mineral deposits. This critical step creates a perfectly porous surface, which allows our high-tech bonding agents to fuse seamlessly with the original material.
After that, we repair any deep scratches, rust spots, or annoying chips using premium waterproof fillers. Once the structural repairs dry, we utilize precision spray equipment to apply multiple layers of a highly durable acrylic coating. Finally, a shiny topcoat seals the deal, leaving you with a brilliant gloss that resists future stains and scratches for many years.
Because we use commercial-grade ventilation systems during the application, you do not have to worry about strong chemical odors lingering in your hallways. This means you can get right back to enjoying your home without any nasty headaches or chemical fumes. To see how affordable this transformation can be for your home, simply reach out to us for a free on-site consultation.
Many homeowners wonder why a DIY kit from the local hardware store simply cannot match what our team delivers. To be frank, those cheap brush-on paints quickly peel, crack, and discolor after only a few hot showers. We utilize industrial-grade molecular bonding agents that actually fuse with your existing tub on a chemical level.
This professional-grade chemistry ensures that hot water and heavy daily use will not cause the new finish to bubble or lift away. Which means you get a reliable, worry-free surface that stands up to kids, pets, and scrubbing. Plus, our finished product offers a level of cozy warmth underfoot that mimics the original porcelain perfectly.
If you have ever talked to a general contractor, you already know that replacing a built-in tub is a total financial trap. To get the old one out, workers usually have to smash precious wall tiles, rip up plumbing, and widen your bathroom doorway. This domino effect quickly turns a simple update into a massive construction project that drains your bank account.
By opting for our specialized coating service, you keep your original plumbing intact and avoid the risk of hidden water damage behind your walls. We complete the entire job inside a single day, meaning your household routine experience barely any disruption at all. On top of that, keeping your solid old cast iron fixture out of the local landfill is a great choice for the environment.
Many older homes in our lovely upstate New York territory feature beautiful, deep vintage basins that are far superior in quality to modern plastic replacements. Our process allows you to preserve that classic charm while enjoying a pristine, easy-to-clean surface.

You might worry that a sprayed-on finish will feel cheap or wear out after just a few months of use. However, modern polymer technology has advanced incredibly fast, offering a level of hardness that rivals factory-baked enamel. This high-gloss barrier resists yellowing from UV light and prevents mold from taking root in porous spots.
This translates to much less time spent on your knees scrubbing grout lines with harsh, abrasive chemicals. A simple wipe-down with mild soap and water keeps the surface sparkling like a polished gemstone. Our coatings are designed to withstand the test of time, ensuring your bathroom remains a bright space of relaxation.
We pride ourselves on being punctual, polite, and exceptionally tidy from the moment we park our truck in your driveway. Our technicians take the time to explain every single step of the process so you feel entirely comfortable with the work being done. We treat your home with the exact same respect we would show to our own families' properties.
After completing the prep work, we mask off all fixtures, metal drains, and nearby vanity cabinets with thick protective paper. Once the spraying is done, we clean up every speck of dust and leave your bathroom looking spotless. We will walk you through a quick inspection to ensure you are absolutely thrilled with the glossy results.
Whether you live near the scenic St. Regis River or closer to the quiet rural outskirts of our northern community, we are ready to assist. We understand the unique needs of local homeowners, especially given our area's distinct seasonal weather and water chemistry. Reach out to our team today to secure your free estimate and take the first step toward a beautiful bathroom.
To maximize the lifespan of your fresh coating, we always recommend avoiding abrasive scouring pads or bleach-based cleansers. Instead, stick to gentle, non-abrasive liquid cleaners and soft microfiber cloths to preserve that mirror-like shine. This simple care routine prevents micro-scratches from dulling the surface over the years.
Additionally, we suggest fixing any dripping faucets promptly, as constant water drops in one spot can eventually wear down any finish. Using a soft bath mat without suction cups also protects the bottom of the basin from unnecessary stress. Following these easy guidelines ensures your fixture remains a stunning focal point in your home for a decade or more.

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 Hopkinton, 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.
