All over Nantucket County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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.
You can completely transform your dingy bathroom today.
Our skilled local team brings back the beautiful shine of your worn-out tub.
We save you thousands of dollars compared to a messy remodel.
Think about how frustrating it is to look at a stained, chipped, or outdated tub every single morning when you wake up.
Maybe you even tried scrubbing it with harsh chemicals until your arms ached, only to find the dull spots look even worse now.
This happens because the original protective glaze has worn thin over years of constant use.
Fortunately, we offer a smart way to restore that glossy finish without tearing out your walls or plumbing.
By choosing a professional surface restoration, you avoid the massive headache of hiring contractors who will leave dust all over your home.
Our fast process seals up those ugly, porous areas where dirt and bacteria love to hide from your sponge.
This means you get a sparkling, easy-to-clean basin that looks brand new in just a matter of hours.
You can finally enjoy a relaxing soak in a clean environment that feels incredibly cozy and welcoming.
First, we carefully prepare the entire work area to protect your floors and vanity from any overspray.
Then, we use specialized cleaners to strip away old soap scum, body oils, and minerals that built up over the decades.
This critical step ensures the new coating bonds perfectly to the underlying structure.
Next, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots using high-strength fillers.
Once the surface is completely flat and smooth, we apply a state-of-the-art bonding agent.
After that, we spray multiple layers of a high-gloss acrylic topcoat that cures into a rock-hard shield.
This durable finish resists future impacts and chemical stains, which keeps your bathroom looking bright for a very long time.
| Feature of Our Service | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| Advanced bonding agents | Prevents peeling and ensures a long-lasting finish |
| Eco-friendly ventilation systems | Minimizes odors and keeps your indoor air clean |
| Durable acrylic topcoats | Resists scratches and simplifies your weekly cleaning routine |
To give you a better idea of the options, we also work with various materials, from cast iron to fiberglass.
No matter what kind of fixture you have, our process adapts to deliver the best results.
Which means you do not have to worry about compatibility issues or unexpected extra costs during the job.
Now, let us talk about the actual costs because everybody wants to save money.
Replacing an old fixture sounds simple until you realize you must hire a plumber, a tile setter, and a drywall installer.
Those expenses add up fast, often reaching several thousand dollars before the job is even done.
On top of that, the demolition process can take your only bathroom out of commission for a week or more.
Our convenient resurfacing service usually takes less than a day, meaning you can use your shower again very quickly.
We help you keep your hard-earned money in your wallet while still achieving a high-end look.
This makes our service an incredibly popular option for families who want to maximize their home value on a budget.
If you live in our beautiful coastal area, you know how important it is to maintain your property against the humid salt air.
Our community, which spans the lovely island of Nantucket County, Massachusetts, has unique historic homes that require extra care.
With a local population of around 14,250 residents and a high median household income of over $112,000, homeowners here appreciate quality craftsmanship.
We proudly serve all local properties, including those in the popular 02554 and 02584 ZIP codes, ensuring every neighborhood gets top-tier service.
Perhaps you saw a cheap DIY kit at the local hardware store and thought about trying it yourself over the weekend.
While those box kits look tempting, they lack the professional-grade etching compounds needed for a permanent bond.
Most homeowners who try this route end up with a peeling, bubbly mess within just a few months.
When that happens, you have to pay even more to strip off the failed DIY coating before a professional can fix it.
We use commercial-grade exhaust fans to safely vent all fumes outside of your living space while we work.
This keeps your family safe from strong chemical smells and ensures a smooth, dust-free finish that DIY brushes simply cannot replicate.
Once we finish our work, caring for your restored basin is incredibly simple and requires very little effort.
You should avoid abrasive powders or scrubby pads that can dull the shiny finish over time.
Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or a gentle liquid spray cleanser with a soft microfiber cloth.
This simple habit keeps the non-porous surface gleaming like new and prevents any soap scum buildup.
Also, remember to fix leaky faucets promptly, as dripping water can eventually wear down even the strongest finishes.
By following these easy guidelines, you can enjoy your beautiful, renewed bathroom for up to a decade or longer.
We believe in honest, transparent pricing, which is why we never hit you with hidden fees or surprise upcharges.
Our friendly team comes directly to your home to inspect your fixture and provide a detailed, complimentary quote.
This lets you make an informed decision without any pressure or obligation on your part.
Whether you have a vintage clawfoot model or a modern alcove setup, we have the skills to make it shine again.
We take immense pride in our attention to detail and always treat your home with the utmost respect.
Let us handle the hard work so you can sit back, relax, and look forward to a gorgeous bathroom space.
Are you ready to say goodbye to that ugly, outdated color and those stubborn rust stains for good?

We look forward to helping you fall in love with your bathroom all over again!
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, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
