A dull or chipped tub in Mechanicsburg 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.

We take pride in helping homeowners fall in love with their bathrooms all over again. By choosing to renew your existing fixture, you keep heavy waste out of local landfills. It is a win for your wallet and a win for the environment too...
First, our skilled technicians thoroughly clean the entire area to remove decades of soap scum, body oils, and stubborn hard water deposits. This preparation step is absolutely critical because the new coating needs a perfectly clean surface to bond with. If there are any chips, deep scratches, or rust spots, we patch them up using specialized fillers.
Next, we apply a high-tech bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old porcelain and the new finish. This chemical wizardry ensures that the fresh layer will never peel or bubble up under daily use. After that, we spray multiple coats of a premium acrylic polymer topcoat using professional spray equipment.
Finally, we let the new surface cure into a rock-hard, durable shield that resists stains and scratches. You can start using your beautiful, shiny tub again in just a matter of twenty-four hours. This quick turnaround means your daily routine suffers almost zero disruption compared to a messy construction project.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time to Complete | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Tub Replacement | $3,500 - $8,000 | 1 - 2 Weeks | Extremely High |
| Our Specialized Resurfacing | $400 - $700 | 4 - 6 Hours | Very Low |
As you can see from the comparison table above, the financial benefits are simply too big to ignore. That extra cash stays right in your bank account where it belongs. On top of that, you avoid having contractors trampling through your hallways for a solid week.
Which means you get to enjoy a gorgeous, sparkling bathroom without the massive headache of a full remodel. Our customers often tell us they cannot believe how much money they saved. We believe in keeping things simple, honest, and affordable for every single family we serve.
We love working in this beautiful community of 8,987 people who truly appreciate quality craftsmanship. Our service area covers the entire Cumberland County region, where historic homes often feature beautiful older fixtures worth saving. With a local median household income of $55,545, we know that hard-working families appreciate getting real value for their money.
Whether you live in the 17050 or 17055 ZIP codes, our mobile team arrives on time and ready to work. We bring all of our own professional ventilation equipment to keep your indoor air clean and safe. This care ensures that your family stays comfortable while we perform our magic in your bathroom.
Sometimes, older homes have those deep, heavy soaking tubs that are almost impossible to remove without destroying the door frames. Our process allows you to keep that classic, high-quality character while upgrading the look to modern standards. You get the best of both worlds without the destructive construction dust.
If you take care of your newly coated basin, the gorgeous shine can easily last for ten to fifteen years. We always recommend using non-abrasive cleaners to keep the surface looking like a polished mirror. Avoid harsh scrubbing pads or bleach, which can dull the glossy finish over time.
Actually, maintaining your upgraded fixture is much easier than scrubbing old, porous porcelain because the new barrier is completely non-porous. Mold and mildew have a very hard time sticking to this ultra-smooth finish. This benefit means you spend far less time on your knees scrubbing the bathroom on weekends.
We stand behind our work with a solid warranty to give you absolute peace of mind. If you ever experience an issue, our local team is just a quick phone call away. We treat our neighbors like family, which is why we never cut corners on our prep work or materials.
Of course, we want to be completely honest about what this process can and cannot do for your home. If your existing metal or cast iron is completely rusted through with giant holes, resurfacing might not be the right choice. However, minor surface rust and cosmetic blemishes are incredibly easy for us to fix.
Also, the chemical coatings we use do have a noticeable odor during the actual spraying process. We use heavy-duty exhaust fans to pull the fumes out through the nearest window to protect your nose. Within a few hours after we pack up our tools, the smell fades away completely.
This minor inconvenience is a very small price to pay for a gorgeous bathroom transformation that happens in a single afternoon. Most homeowners agree that the fast results are well worth it. You will be amazed at how a bright, white basin can make your entire bathroom feel larger and cleaner...
Now is the perfect time to stop ignoring that ugly, stained basin and finally do something about it. Our friendly team is ready to visit your home to inspect your fixture and provide a detailed, no-obligation quote. This transparent pricing means you will know exactly what to expect before we ever pick up a spray gun.
Since we are a local business, we can schedule your appointment quickly to fit your busy lifestyle. You do not have to live with a dingy bathroom that embarrasses you when guests come over. Let us handle the hard work while you sit back and plan how to decorate your newly refreshed space.
Please reach out to us today to lock in your free consultation with our resurfacing professionals. We look forward to showing you just how incredible your bathroom can look. Your beautiful, shiny new wash space is only a quick message away!
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 Mechanicsburg, 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.
