Many homeowners think buying a new tub is the only way to fix ugly stains.
Actually, the store price of a new basin is only a tiny fraction of the real cost.
You also have to pay for expensive plumbing rerouting, new wall tiles, and heavy disposal fees.
On top of that, old houses often have doorways too narrow to get a giant modern tub through.
This means workers might have to tear down your bathroom frame just to get the old one out.
Which leads to dusty, noisy chaos that disrupts your daily family life for a week or more.
Our surface restoration service bypasses all those annoying construction headaches entirely.
We work right inside your existing space without disturbing any surrounding tile or plumbing lines.
This keeps your home clean, quiet, and completely free of drywall dust.
To start, we chemically clean the old porcelain or fiberglass to strip away years of soap scum.
After that, we fix any deep chips, rust spots, or scratches with specialized waterproof fillers.
This step creates a perfectly flat, smooth foundation for the new finish to stick to.
Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a super-strong glue.
Then, our technician sprays several coats of a high-tech acrylic polymer coating over the surface.
This material cures into a hard, glossy shell that looks exactly like brand-new ceramic.
This incredible process works beautifully on several different types of bathroom fixtures:
| Fixture Material | Common Issues | Restoration Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Cast Iron | Rust around drain, dull finish, chips | Restores original high-gloss shine without heavy lifting |
| Fiberglass | Cracks in bottom, yellowing, flexibility | Reinforces weak spots and seals porous surfaces |
| Pressed Steel | Denting, enamel wear, rust spots | Creates a thick barrier against water and impact damage |
Once we finish, your old fixture gains a new lease on life.
You will love how easy the new non-porous surface is to wipe down.
No more scrubbing with harsh chemicals to get rid of embedded dirt!

Supporting local businesses means you get personalized, friendly service from people who care.
We treat your home with the utmost respect, sealing off the work area to contain any odors.

You might see cheap epoxy kits at your local home improvement store and feel tempted to try it.
However, those roll-on paints usually peel off in large sheets within just a few months.
They lack the industrial-strength bonding agents that only licensed professionals can purchase.
Moreover, store-bought paints are applied with brushes or rollers, leaving ugly brush marks and bubbles.
Our professional spray equipment ensures an incredibly smooth, mirror-like finish with zero imperfections.
We also use commercial safety gear to handle the strong chemicals safely.
If a DIY job fails, you have to pay even more money to have that cheap paint stripped off.
Save yourself the double cost and the massive frustration by doing it right the first time.
Our proven process gives you peace of mind and a beautiful result that lasts for many years.
Taking care of your shiny new finish is actually much easier than cleaning an old, worn-out tub.
Because the new surface is completely non-porous, dirt and soap residue cannot cling to it.
You simply need to wipe it down with a mild dish soap and a soft sponge after use.
Avoid using abrasive scrubbing powders, steel wool, or harsh bleach on the new coating.
These rough cleaners will dull the beautiful gloss over time and create tiny scratches.
Stick to gentle, non-abrasive liquid cleaners to keep that deep, luxurious shine looking brand new.
We also recommend keeping bath mats with suction cups out of your newly finished basin.
The constant pulling action of those suction cups can eventually weaken the bond of the coating.
Using a simple washcloth or installing a slip-resistant bottom surface during our process works much better.

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 Mount Gilead, 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.
