A dull or chipped tub in Lunenburg 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.
Looking to fix up your old, rusty washbasin without losing your hard-earned savings? You came to the right spot for top solutions. Get a free estimate right now and transform your home overnight.
Every morning you step into that worn-out bathroom and sigh real loud. Honestly, those ugly stains and tiny scratches on your tub surface drive everybody crazy after a while. Right now, getting a total bathroom swap sounds way too expensive for normal budgets.
Thankfully, you can actually update your old fixture without tearing out any heavy walls. For starters, coating the surface again gives your porcelain a shiny polish that lasts long. Consequently, your messy washbasin instantly turns into a super smooth basin you feel proud of daily.
Actually, I remember when my aunt tried fixing her ugly green basin with a cheap plastic kit. Man, that thick mess peeled off in three days and looked like old greasy skin! Finally, she called a real pro who brought proper heavy chemical coatings and spray guns. Today, her smooth surface shines like a brand new penny!
Maybe you think replacing the whole tub is easy work. Well, pulling out an old cast iron tub takes four heavy guys and breaks your floor tiles. On top of that, plumbing costs add up super fast when you move pipes around inside walls.
Instead, modern chemical bonding lets technicians seal up your existing tub right where it stands. This means you skip the dusty drywall mess entirely. Furthermore, your wallet stays happy because you save thousands on heavy construction labor easily.
Besides that, saving time matters a whole lot when you only got one home bathroom. Plus, our quick application process takes just a couple hours from start to finish. Therefore, you can soak in your shiny tub again by tomorrow evening without any long headaches.
First, the technician scrubs away all old soapy buildup using strong industrial cleaners. Next, they sand down rough spots so the new shiny glaze sticks forever. Afterwards, acid etching opens tiny pores in the old hard enamel layer seamlessly.
Then, special primers get sprayed over every single inch of the deep basin. Above all, these sticky layers prevent future peeling when you pour hot water down the drain. As a result, your refreshed layer stays locked down tight against everyday wear and tear.
Finally, multiple thin coats of topgrade acrylic glaze get applied evenly with air sprayers. Suddenly, those ugly chipped areas completely disappear beneath a bright finish. Beyond that, a fast curing heater bakes the glossy shell hard as fresh glass rapidly.
| Project Step | Old Tub Replacement | Our Modern Chemical Refinishing |
|---|---|---|
| Total Time | Four to seven long days | Five to eight total hours |
| Mess Level | Heavy dust and broken tiles | Zero dust with sealed plastic sheets |
| Average Cost | Extremely high price tag | Super affordable low rate |

Earlier today, a homeowner near the center of town called about deep yellow stains on her acrylic surface. Apparently, hard water had ruined her shiny finish over twenty long years. Luckily, our quick spray process brought back that bright glossy sheen before dinner time came around!
Surprisingly, original cast iron tubs hold heat much better than new flimsy plastic ones. Thus, keeping your antique tub means your bathwater stays nice and warm way longer. Which means you enjoy super relaxing evening soaks without running the hot water tap constantly.
In addition, keeping your old fixture out of local landfills helps keep our state clean and green. Surely, reducing toxic construction trash matters to everyone living in this beautiful region. Simultaneously, your updated home gains instant retail value if you ever decide to list it later.
Granted, some folks wonder if sprayed glaze feels as smooth as real original factory porcelain. Actually, premium liquid acrylic feels silky soft under your feet and stays super shiny. Furthermore, non-slip bottom textures can be added easily to stop slipping accidents forever.
Now, taking care of your newly glazed fixture requires zero hard scrubbing or toxic chemicals. Specifically, soft sponges combined with basic liquid soap remove bath rings without scratching the finish. Consequently, you spend much less time cleaning your washroom every weekend.
However, you must avoid harsh abrasive powders that ruin smooth synthetic layers over time. Also, keeping leaky faucets fixed stops water droplets from wearing down the bottom glaze prematurely. Therefore, a little bit of care protects your beautiful bathroom investment for up to fifteen solid years.

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 Lunenburg, 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.
