A dull or chipped tub in Lake Como 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.
Because nobody likes staring at ugly stains every single morning, getting your bathroom fixed up right now saves your sanity and money. Naturally, our crew comes right to your door to inspect your fixtures and give you a free estimate on the spot. So stop hiding that worn out tub behind a cheap curtain and let us handle it for you today!
Honestly, knocking out old tiles and heavy cast iron tubs creates an absolute mess inside your house. First of all, the dust goes everywhere, traveling through your vents like a quiet storm. Furthermore, hiring plumbers, tile guys, and trash haulers drains your bank account real fast. Honestly speaking, refinishing the existing heavy basin in place saves you thousands of hard earned cash while giving you that clean shine you crave.
Instead, our special chemical bonding process coats your old surface with a super tough acrylic polymer layer. Because this liquid shell cures ridiculously hard, you get a pristine glossy finish without ripping out a single wall stud. Look, you keep your classic heavy duty fixture that was built to last back in the old days. On top of that, the entire project finishes in just a couple hours, meaning you can shower again before you know it.
Consider the massive head ache of full scale remodeling compared to quick surface restoration. Actually, dumpster rentals alone cost a fortune in our charming little beach town tucked inside Monmouth County. Furthermore, with a median household income hovering around $89,625, local folks around here know the real value of smart home investments that do not waste money. Simply put, restoring beats replacing every single time!
First, we scrub the old porcelain using intense industrial strippers to eat away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. Next, any deep cracks, chips, or rust spots get filled with heavy duty fiberglass resin fillers. Then, we sand everything down super flat until the whole area feels smooth as glass. To be clear, taking shortcuts during this prep stage completely ruins the final result, so we take our sweet time here...
After that, an acid etching compound creates microscopic grooves in the original enamel so the new shiny material sticks permanently. In addition, we lay down high tech primers built specifically for underwater adhesion and high heat resistance. Then, our spray equipment applies multiple thick coats of professional grade synthetic porcelain topcoat across every single inch. Because of this carefully layered method, your basin gets a mirror finish that stands up to daily scrubbing easily.
| Step In Process | What We Do | Your Direct Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Cleaning and Etching | Strip old soap scum and etch enamel micro-grooves | Prevents peeling and ensures long term adhesion |
| Structural Repair | Fill chips, rust holes, and surface cracks | Restores factory smooth feel and stops water leaks |
| Topcoat Application | Spray multiple layers of high shine polymer shell | Delivers a sleek factory finish that is super easy to wipe clean |
Since we live so close to the ocean near 07719, salty sea air and intense room humidity constantly attack standard household surfaces. Actually, old worn cast iron units start rusting out real fast once the original enamel wears thin down to the dark metal. Consequently, those orange rust spots bleed through your bathwater, looking totally gross to your guests and family. So, sealing that raw metal up tight behind a modern non-porous chemical barrier stops oxidation cold in its tracks.
In addition, small beach cottages and cozy year round homes often feature compact bathrooms where huge demolition equipment just will not fit. Furthermore, carrying a three hundred pound iron basin down a narrow flight of stairs easily ruins your plaster walls or hardwood floors. Instead, our self-contained spray system fits through any standard doorway without scratching your painted baseboards. Truly, keeping the mess contained keeps your daily life completely stress free!
Basically, local home owners want heavy duty results without paying inflated contractor prices that eat up their hard earned savings. That is why our custom resurfacing treatments are calibrated specifically for high humidity coastal conditions. Naturally, this heavy shell resists mildew growth, which means you spend way less time scrubbing on hands and knees every weekend!
For example, those dark mineral rings around the drain usually happen because old porcelain loses its smooth protective gloss over time. Therefore, dirt gets trapped inside deep microscopic pores that ordinary household cleaners simply cannot reach no matter how hard you scrub. Fortunately, our modern glossy sealant smooths over all those tiny holes, making future cleanup work as simple as wiping with a soft sponge. Ultimately, you save money on harsh bleach products and spend way less effort keeping things clean!
Besides that, dropping a heavy shampoo bottle often creates nasty chips that expose dark metal under your bright white layer. Right away, moisture sinks into those tiny impact zones, causing the surrounding enamel to flake off in big ugly chunks. Happily, our localized patching liquid bonds directly into the damaged spot, leveling the surface perfectly before applying the final shiny topcoat layer. So, your basin looks completely seamless again without a single trace of past repairs!
To help you decide what fits your budget best, check out how surface recoating stacks up against traditional bathroom remodeling:
| Factor | Complete Bathroom Demolition | Professional Surface Recoating |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | $5,000 - $12,000+ | Fraction of replacement cost |
| Project Duration | 1 to 3 weeks of noise and dust | Finished in just 4 to 6 hours |
| Mess Factor | Heavy drywall dust, debris, and garbage dumpsters | Zero structural damage and localized containment |
| Downtime | Cannot use bathroom for weeks | Ready for use in 24 to 48 hours |
Obviously, choosing surface restoration delivers maximum value while saving you heaps of time and total chaos. On top of that, keeping solid vintage fixtures out of local landfills helps protect our environment, which matters a lot to our coastal neighborhood of 1,671 residents. As you can see, choosing smart local repairs helps both your wallet and your community at the same time!
Now, once your fresh topcoat cures into a crystal clear protective shield, caring for it is surprisingly simple. First, avoid abrasive scouring powders or stiff wire brushes that scrape away the high shine sheen over time. Instead, stick with mild liquid soaps and gentle microfiber towels that lift away dirt without scratching the smooth synthetic resin. Consequently, your renewed washing space maintains its like-new shine for many years to come!
Also, make sure you fix dripping faucets right away so standing water does not pool around your drain opening continuously. Although our chemical bond stays super tough under normal use, constant dripping paired with heavy mineral deposits wears down any coated finish prematurely. Furthermore, avoiding harsh suction cup bathmats prevents air pockets that pull on the underlying material when lifted aggressively. Simply following these easy guidelines ensures your cozy basin stays bright, safe, and beautiful daily!

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 Lake Como, 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.
