We make the entire process stress-free so you can enjoy a bright, clean washroom by tomorrow.
Requesting a free estimate from our friendly local team is the first step toward reclaiming your beautiful bathing space. We pride ourselves on honest pricing and exceptional craftsmanship that speaks for itself. Get in touch with us today to discover how easy it is to transform your old tub.
Many folks mistake our specialized process for a simple coat of hardware store paint, but it actually involves highly technical steps. First, we meticulously clean the old surface using industrial-strength cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This critical preparation phase ensures that our new chemical coatings bond perfectly to the underlying structure.
After we complete the deep cleaning, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor. This advanced product creates a permanent fuse between the original porcelain and our high-tech acrylic coatings. Finally, we spray multiple layers of a durable topcoat that cures into a rock-hard, high-gloss protective shield.
This comprehensive method works wonders on various bathroom fixtures, which we have outlined in the handy guide below:
| Fixture Type | Common Issues We Solve | Refinishing Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Cast Iron Tubs | Rust spots, dull finish, chipped enamel | Restores original heavy-duty shine |
| Fiberglass Units | Cracks, yellowing, flexible bottoms | Reinforces structure and updates color |
| Ceramic Tile Surrounds | Moldy grout, outdated colors, leaks | Seals grout lines for easy cleaning |
Opting for this specialized restoration service means you get to keep your high-quality vintage fixture. Many older basins feature superior craftsmanship and thick iron cores that you simply cannot find in modern big-box stores. Our process preserves that classic character while removing all the ugly scratches and stubborn stains.
In addition to saving your beloved fixture, you also save a massive chunk of your hard-earned cash. Total bathroom remodeling often spirals out of control because of hidden plumbing issues behind the walls. Our on-site service focuses strictly on the cosmetic surface, which completely bypasses the need for expensive building permits and messy construction zone debris.
Furthermore, our modern coatings are incredibly easy to maintain after we pack up our tools. The non-porous finish prevents dirt and grime from trapping itself in microscopic crevices. This means you can say goodbye to harsh chemical scrubbers and hello to effortless wipe-downs.
When our skilled technicians walk through your front door, we treat your property with the utmost respect. We immediately set up heavy-duty exhaust fans to safely vent any chemical fumes directly outside through the nearest window. Our team also masks off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheeting to shield your floors, walls, and vanity from overspray.
Once the safety prep is complete, we tackle any physical damage like deep chips, rust holes, or structural cracks. We use specialized polyester fillers to patch these problem areas, sanding them completely flat so they blend seamlessly. You will never be able to tell where the original damage was once we apply our final gloss layers.
Now, the exciting part happens as we spray the premium topcoat using precision high-volume, low-pressure equipment. This professional spraying technique ensures an incredibly smooth, mirror-like finish without any brush marks or runs. We leave your bathroom clean, tidy, and ready for its grand reveal.
You might wonder how long this beautiful new surface will actually last under normal daily use. With proper care and simple maintenance, our high-grade coatings will remain bright and intact for up to fifteen years. We always provide our clients with clear care instructions to ensure they get the maximum value from their investment.
To help you understand the incredible financial advantages of this service, let us compare it directly to a traditional replacement project:
| Project Step | Traditional Replacement Cost | Our Refinishing Service Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Demolition & Disposal | $500 - $1,000 | $0 (No demo needed!) |
| New Tub Purchase | $300 - $1,200 | $0 (Keep your own!) |
| Plumbing & Drywall Work | $1,000 - $2,500 | $0 (No wall damage!) |
| Total Estimated Investment | $1,800 - $4,700+ | A fraction of replacement! |
As you can clearly see, our process keeps your money in your wallet where it belongs. We believe in transparency, which is why we never surprise you with hidden fees or sudden upcharges. Our free estimate gives you a clear, honest breakdown of the project before we ever start working.
Keeping your newly coated basin looking spectacular is surprisingly simple if you follow a few basic guidelines. First, you must avoid using abrasive scouring powders, steel wool, or harsh bleach products on the new surface. These rough materials can micro-scratch the protective gloss over time, which eventually dulls the beautiful shine.
Instead, we highly recommend using mild dish soaps or specialized non-abrasive foam spray cleaners. A soft microfiber cloth or a gentle sponge is all you need to wipe away water spots and light soap residue. This easy routine keeps the surface looking brand new with minimal physical effort on your part.
Additionally, you should try to avoid leaving wet shampoo bottles or heavy metal cans sitting directly on the ledge for weeks. Implementing a simple hanging shower caddy keeps your products organized and prevents standing water from dulling the finish. These small habits ensure your bathroom remains a stunning oasis for many years to come.

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, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
