A dull or chipped tub in McDonald Chapel 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.

Now, nobody wants to deal with a messy bathroom renovation that takes weeks to finish. That is why local homeowners choose this smart surface renewal trick instead of a full tear out. This method lets you save thousands of dollars while getting incredible results.
Yet, finding the right crew for the job can feel super confusing. This guide will show you exactly what to expect from local technicians who bring old porcelain back to life. Read on to discover how easy home updates can truly be.
First, the pros clean your worn acrylic or cast iron deeply to remove soap scum. Then, they strip away old sealants and etch the material so new bonds stick well. This meticulous prep work ensures your new surface lasts for many years.
Next, skilled technicians spray specialized industrial coatings using high volume low pressure equipment. This lets you enjoy a factory fresh shine without any ugly brush strokes. Each layer cures quickly and creates a tough barrier against daily wear.

Naturally, people wonder if buying a brand new tub makes more sense. However, ripping out old plumbing creates massive dust and structural headaches. This clever resurfacing approach avoids all that demolition entirely.
Furthermore, replacement projects often require hiring drywallers and tile setters too. This lets costs spiral out of control before you even realize what happened. Conversely, our local trade fixes the exact problem area in just one single day.
Every single technician on our team has mastered the art of spraying durable topcoats. We know how to handle chipped porcelain and stubborn rust stains with total confidence. This expertise guarantees you get a flawless finish every time.
Moreover, treating six hundred thirty three residents with honest service drives our daily work ethic. We treat your house just like our own grandma's place. Consequently, you feel respected and valued throughout the entire project.
Mediocre paints peel off after a few months of hot showers. That is why we use industrial grade polyurethanes that resist chipping and fading. This lets you scrub your clean space without worrying about damaging the new coat.
Additionally, our bonding agents create a permanent chemical weld with the original substrate. Because of this strong adhesion, your shiny basin stays gorgeous through countless bath times. You simply get unbeatable durability for your investment.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| Full Tub Replacement | Four Thousand Dollars | One to Two Weeks |
| Professional Surface Renewal | Four Hundred Dollars | Single Day |
Now, looking at those numbers makes the choice pretty obvious. This smart alternative lets you keep your hard earned cash in the bank. On top of that, you bypass weeks of messy construction zones inside your home.
Meanwhile, the tiny population of our charming community deserves honest pricing. We never tack on hidden fees or surprise charges at the end of the day. Instead, you get straightforward quotes right from the start.
Before the crew arrives, you should clear all personal items off the vanity and shelves. This lets workers move around freely without risking damage to your favorite toiletries. Small preparations like this make the job run much smoother.
Next, unplug any nearby electronics and remove shower curtains or liners. This keeps your belongings safe from drifting overspray during the coating phase. You will love how easy the whole prep routine feels.
After the technicians finish, you must wait twenty four hours before using the shower. This curing window allows the industrial polymers to harden completely. Following this rule ensures maximum longevity for your shiny new surface.
Furthermore, switch to mild liquid dish soaps instead of abrasive scouring powders. Harsh chemicals scratch the glossy finish and dull that gorgeous shine over time. Gentle cleaning habits keep your investment looking pristine for decades.

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 McDonald Chapel, 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.
