A dull or chipped tub in Kennebunk 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.

Many folks do not realize that the heavy, durable structure of their existing tub is probably still in great shape. Over the years, the outer layer simply takes a beating from hard water, harsh chemical cleaners, and general wear. Instead of throwing away a perfectly solid piece of cast iron or steel, we apply a high-tech liquid acrylic coating right over the top.
This process creates a completely new, non-porous barrier that looks and feels exactly like brand-new porcelain. Our method seals up all those microscopic pores where dirt and mildew love to hide. Consequently, you get a sparkling surface that is incredibly easy to wipe clean after every use.
You can say goodbye to endless scrubbing with abrasive powders that only ruin the finish further. This smart upgrade saves your back, protects your wallet, and keeps heavy debris out of our local landfills. It is a win-win situation for both your home and the environment.
Living in a beautiful, historic area means we appreciate classic craftsmanship and solid structures. The coastal air and unique local water can really do a number on plumbing fixtures over time. Whether you own an old historic home near the water or a modern place in York County, we know exactly how to handle your specific layout.

To help you make the best decision for your budget, we put together a quick comparison of what you can expect from different methods. Choosing the right path depends on your budget, your timeline, and how much dust you want to deal with.
| Method | Average Cost | Time to Complete | Mess Factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Very High | 1 to 2 Weeks | Extremely Dusty |
| Plastic Liners | Medium-High | 1 to 2 Days | Moderate |
| Professional Resurfacing | Low | Under 24 Hours | Very Low |
As you can see, our specialized coating service offers the best balance of speed, cost, and convenience. You get a stunning result without having to hire plumbers, drywallers, and tile installers. It is the ultimate shortcut to a beautiful washroom.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic to keep your floors and walls safe. After that, we set up a powerful ventilation fan to pull any odors and dust directly out of your house through the window. This step ensures that your indoor air stays clean and safe while we work our magic.
Next, we use a specialized acid etching agent to strip away old soap scum, body oils, and minerals from the surface. This step is absolutely crucial because the new coating needs a perfectly clean, textured surface to bond to. We then fill in any deep chips, rust spots, or scratches with a tough polyester filler.
Once the prep work is complete, we spray on a state-of-the-art bonding agent that acts like superglue for the final layers. We follow that up with multiple coats of our premium acrylic topcoat, using a professional spray system for a flawless finish. Finally, we clean up our workspace, leaving your bathroom looking absolutely pristine.
Cheap DIY kits from the local hardware store simply cannot compare to the commercial-grade compounds we use. Those store-bought options are usually just basic epoxy paints that brush on unevenly, yellow quickly, and peel off within a few months. We use industrial-strength aliphatic polyurethane that resists impact, heat, and moisture for many years.
Our topcoats are designed to retain their high gloss and color stability even under heavy daily use. This means your basin will not fade or turn an ugly shade of amber when exposed to sunlight. You are investing in a long-term solution, not a temporary cosmetic band-aid.
Taking care of your newly finished surface is incredibly easy, but it does require a slight shift in your cleaning habits. You must avoid using abrasive scrubbers like steel wool or harsh bleaching powders that can micro-scratch the shiny coat. Instead, just use mild dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth.
This simple routine keeps the surface incredibly slick, meaning dirt and grime will slide right down the drain. We also recommend wiping down the area after use to prevent standing water from leaving mineral deposits behind. With just a little bit of love, your restored fixture will look amazing for up to fifteen years.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or soap sitting directly on the ledge for long periods. Using a hanging shower caddy is a fantastic way to keep your new finish dry and pristine. These small adjustments ensure you get the absolute most out of your investment.
Now is the perfect time to stop ignoring that ugly, stained eyesore in your home and finally do something about it. Imagine how nice it will feel to step into a bright, clean, inviting space every single morning. Our friendly team is ready to drive out to your property in Kennebunk, Maine, to assess your project in person.
We will walk you through all the color options, check the condition of your current fixture, and give you an honest quote. There is absolutely no pressure, no hidden fees, and no obligation to buy anything from us. We just want to help you make an informed choice for your beautiful home.
So, what are you waiting for? Give us a call right now to claim your free estimate. Let us help you fall in love with your bathroom all over again!
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 Kennebunk, 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.
