From one end of New Jersey to the other, we bring tubs back to a bright finish without pulling a single one 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.
Are you tired of looking at that stained tub every single morning? Well, local contractors can fix your bathroom fixture without a messy replacement.
That old porcelain probably looks terrible right now. Therefore, giving your washbasin a fresh coat of acrylic is much smarter than tearing it out. This lets you save thousands of dollars on expensive remodeling projects. Meanwhile, your tired wash basin gets a brand new glossy finish.
Tearing out a heavy iron basin creates a huge mess in your house. Consequently, you will deal with weeks of dust and ruined drywall. Hiring a professional service avoids all that headache completely.
Buying a brand new tub costs a small fortune once you pay for labor. On the other hand, refinishing the existing surface takes only a single afternoon. This gives you stunning luxury without draining your bank account.
How does this process actually work in your home? First, technicians thoroughly clean the entire area to remove soap scum and mineral deposits. Next, they etch the porcelain so the new bonding agent sticks properly.
Following that preparation, workers spray specialized polyurethane coatings onto the worn surface. This creates a durable shield that resists future stains. Ultimately, your basin looks just like it rolled off the factory floor yesterday.
Finding trustworthy contractors in your region can feel overwhelming sometimes. Yet, checking local reviews makes your decision much easier. You deserve honest workers who show up on time and respect your property.
Many homeowners worry about toxic fumes during the spraying process. Fortunately, modern crews use high powered exhaust systems to clear the air quickly. This means your family breathes easy while the kitchen and sleeping areas stay safe.
First, you need to clear all personal items off the edges of the wash basin. Then, the crew arrives with drop cloths and specialized chemical strippers. They prep the surrounding tile and seal off the bathroom doorway securely.
Afterwards, the actual spraying happens in just a couple of hours. This lets you get back to your normal daily routine almost immediately. Within twenty four hours, the new surface cures completely and stands ready for use.
Home improvements usually cost way more than anyone originally plans. However, sticking with resurfacing keeps your budget firmly under control. You avoid unexpected plumbing bills that always pop up during demo work.
Property values rise when your washrooms look clean and modern. Consequently, potential buyers will love the pristine condition of your bathing area. This smart upgrade pays for itself when selling your house.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Five thousand dollars | Two to three weeks |
| Professional Reglazing | Five hundred dollars | One single day |
Looking at those numbers makes the choice pretty obvious. Naturally, keeping your original fixture intact saves precious time and resources. That translates to less landfill waste and happier homeowners across the Northeast.
Some folks believe painted surfaces peel off within a few months. Actually, industrial grade coatings bond chemically with the underlying material. This creates a permanent layer that handles daily scrubbing without a problem.
Another myth claims that the chemical odor stays in your house forever. Yet, proper ventilation clears out every trace of smell by evening time. You simply enjoy a fresh smelling bathroom without lingering chemical traces.
Taking care of your updated basin requires very little effort from you. Avoid harsh abrasive powders that scratch the glossy top layer. Instead, use mild liquid dish soap and a soft sponge for weekly cleaning.
Fixing leaky faucets prevents ugly rust stains from forming over time. Taking these simple steps guarantees your tub stays gorgeous for decades. Your investment truly pays off through years of trouble free bathing.
Stuck with an outdated pink or green basin from decades ago? Thankfully, modern coatings come in dozens of gorgeous custom shades. You can easily match your existing wall tiles and vanity tops.
Brilliant white remains the most popular choice for modernizing dark spaces. Alternatively, soft almond brings a warmer tone to your daily routine. Transforming the visual appeal takes almost zero effort on your part.

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.
