A dull or chipped tub in Montverde 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.
That ugly, chipped tub in your home does not need to go into a landfill.

Suddenly, your stained and outdated washbasin looks brand new again.
Which means you keep your hard-earned cash while getting a gorgeous, glossy finish.
You will love how easy it is to clean the smooth new surface.
Our local team travels right to your doorstep to deliver this fast transformation.
We provide completely free on-site estimates so you know the exact cost upfront.
This helps you plan your home improvement project with absolute peace of mind.
Replacing an old tub is a literal nightmare that involves tearing out drywall, plumbing, and tile.
On top of that, you have to pay expensive disposal fees and hire pricey contractors.
The entire headache can easily drag on for weeks and leave your home covered in thick plaster dust.
Opting for a professional surface restoration avoids all of that unnecessary chaos.
Our skilled technicians complete the entire application process in just a single afternoon.
This lets you use your upgraded shower space again in as little as twenty-four hours.
Here is a quick look at how the two methods stack up against each other:
| Comparison Factor | Full Replacement | Professional Surface Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | 3 to 7 days of messy construction | 4 to 6 hours total |
| Mess and Dust Level | Extremely high, drywall debris everywhere | Very low, fully contained work area |
| Total Cost Comparison | Can easily exceed several thousand dollars | A small fraction of replacement costs |
| Fixture Lifetime Extension | Decades (but at a massive upfront cost) | 10 to 15 years with proper basic care |
We take pride in helping homeowners save money while achieving a beautiful, updated look.
You get to enjoy a sparkling clean bathroom without the stress of a major construction zone.
It is truly the most efficient way to modernize an outdated wash area.
Achieving a flawless, long-lasting glaze requires meticulous preparation and the right industrial materials.
First, we thoroughly strip away old soaps, oils, and any previous failing coatings.
We then repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots to create a perfectly flat foundation.
Next, we apply a specialized acid etching agent to create microscopic pores in the porcelain or enamel.
This step is crucial because it ensures the new topcoat fuses permanently with the original material.
Without this vital chemical bond, the new finish would quickly bubble and peel away.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of a high-performance, aliphatic polyurethane coating using professional ventilation equipment.
This advanced substance cures into an incredibly hard, stain-resistant barrier that mimics real porcelain.
The result is a brilliant, high-gloss shine that breathes fresh life into your entire bathroom.
Caring for your upgraded fixture is surprisingly simple if you follow a few basic guidelines.
You must avoid abrasive scrubbing powders or harsh bleach products that can dull the shiny topcoat.
Instead, use mild dish soaps or gentle foaming cleansers to wipe away water spots.
We also recommend avoiding suction-cup bathmats because they can pull at the newly bonded layers.
Using a soft cloth to dry the basin after use will prevent mineral deposits from building up.
These small habits ensure your wash area remains bright and clean for many years to come.
Many older homes feature heavy, high-quality cast iron tubs that retain heat incredibly well.
Tearing these beautiful vintage fixtures out of a house is often a tragic waste of craftsmanship.
Our restoration process preserves that classic charm while removing decades of unsightly stains and scratches.
Even newer acrylic or fiberglass shower surrounds can suffer from structural flexing and unsightly hairline cracks.
We can easily patch those structural weak points and apply a uniform color coat across the entire unit.
This gives you a seamless, modern aesthetic without the need for expensive reconstruction work.

Our service area covers this scenic gem in Lake County, where the local median household income sits around $87,589.

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 Montverde, 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.
