A dull or chipped tub in Millingport 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.
Are you tired of staring at that chipped, stained, or dated basin in your primary washroom? You can easily restore that surface to its original glory without the massive cost of a full renovation in your Millingport home.
Perhaps you think those deep scratches and yellow stains are permanent fixtures of your home. Actually, the finish on your soaking vessel is likely just worn down by years of cleaning chemicals and hard water minerals. This degradation makes the material porous, which means it grabs onto dirt like a magnet.
Because the protective glaze has vanished, your cleaning efforts probably feel like a losing battle against stubborn grime. By applying a specialized chemical coating, you effectively seal those pores and create a brand new shield. This saves you from the intense labor of scrubbing until your arms hurt every single weekend.
Rather than ripping out your plumbing, you can opt for a high-tech bonding process that revitalizes the existing structure. This choice preserves the character of your space while giving you a pristine, white surface that feels smooth to the touch. You get the luxury of a brand new fixture for a mere fraction of the price.
Moreover, this approach creates a durable barrier that resists future stains and mildew growth. It provides you with a much easier maintenance routine, which means you spend less time cleaning and more time relaxing. The sheer satisfaction of seeing a glossy, bright finish is worth every penny of the investment.
Now, you might wonder how we achieve such a high level of satisfaction without replacing the heavy tub. The process begins with a deep chemical cleaning to strip away soap scum, oils, and old layers of grime. This step is critical because it ensures the new liquid polymer adheres perfectly to the original substrate.
Once the surface is clean and prepped, we repair any cracks or chips using professional fillers that blend perfectly. Then, we apply a high-grade, fast-drying coating that mimics the original vitreous material. This creates a hard shell that offers total ease of use for years to come.

After the work is complete, you will want to keep that glossy look for as long as possible. We suggest avoiding harsh scouring pads or acidic cleaners that might scratch the new surface. Instead, use mild detergents and a soft cloth to keep things sparkling and bright.
This simple care routine ensures your investment stays in top shape for years. You might be surprised at how long a properly treated surface lasts when you treat it with a little bit of care. It really is the secret to a long-lasting, high-end vibe in your own bathroom.

Getting a quote is as easy as reaching out and describing what you need for your specific tub type. You might have a cast iron, steel, or fiberglass model, and we have the skills to handle them all. We are here to answer your questions and guide you through the process without any pressure at all.
Before we come out, take a few photos of the current state of your fixtures so we can see the damage. Clear out any personal items from the bathroom shelves to ensure we have plenty of room to work efficiently. Having a clear space lets us inspect the condition of the tub and the surrounding tile work.
Knowing the exact type of material can also help us provide a more accurate assessment of the work involved. If you are not sure what your tub is made of, that is perfectly fine. We can identify the material quickly during our visit and explain the best way to move forward.
Some people worry that a new coating will peel or fade after just a few months of use. This only happens if the preparation work is rushed or if poor quality materials are used. Because we take the time to deep clean and etch the surface, our coatings bond deeply and stay put.
Another myth is that it looks cheap or feels like plastic, which simply is not true. Our finishes are smooth, hard, and visually identical to the original surface you fell in love with years ago. You get that luxurious feel under your skin without the massive bill of a full teardown.
Whether you are located near the heart of town or on the outskirts of the county, we serve the whole area. Improving your home value is a great byproduct of this simple, effective process. When you eventually decide to sell your house, a clean and modern bathroom is a huge selling point.

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 Millingport, 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.

The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
