A dull or chipped tub in New Sweden 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.
You might look at your old stained basin and wonder if replacing it is the only way to get that fresh look again. Getting a brand new unit installed involves heavy lifting and tearing out walls, but luckily there is a much easier way to make it look brand new.
Maybe you have dealt with a peeling or discolored soak area for way too long. Refreshing the finish of your existing porcelain or fiberglass basin saves you a ton of money while giving you a lovely sense of ease in your home.
Choosing to restore what you already have rather than buying a new one keeps your bathroom functional without the mess of a full demo. This process involves applying a high-grade chemical coating that bonds directly to your current fixture to create a smooth and durable finish.
You benefit from a much faster turnaround time than a typical remodel project would ever allow. Since the work happens right in your own room, you do not have to worry about contractors stomping through your house for weeks on end.
Perhaps you worry about the chemicals involved in this type of work, but we use modern ventilation to keep your air quality safe. This high-quality service lets you enjoy a clean and bright space for years without needing any expensive replacements or heavy construction work.
Because we focus on precision, we ensure every corner of the basin is perfectly coated. You end up with a surface that feels brand new and offers a high level of relaxation during your daily routine after a long day.
Being located in the heart of Aroostook County means we understand the needs of residents living in zip code 04762 perfectly. With a population of about 602 people, New Sweden is a quiet place where people really care about maintaining their homes and property value.
| Benefit Category | Why it matters for your bathroom | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost efficiency | Keeps more money in your wallet | |
| Speed of work | Reduces time spent on messy labor | |
| Longevity | Ensures the finish lasts a long time | |
| Ease of care | Simplifies your cleaning routine every day |
Since the median household income varies across our small town, we pride ourselves on offering affordable solutions for everyone. You deserve a beautiful home regardless of your budget, and our goal is to make that possible through our specialized skill set.
First, we arrive at your home and inspect the current condition of your basin to spot any chips or cracks. Then, we clean the surface thoroughly to remove any soap scum, rust, or mineral deposits that might stop the new layer from sticking properly.
After the cleaning is finished, we fill any deep scratches or holes to ensure a perfectly level base. This prep work is essential because it guarantees that the final coating will be smooth and visually appealing once it finally cures.
Next, we apply several thin layers of our specialized bonding material to your fixture. This technique creates a rock-hard surface that resists stains and keeps your bathroom looking sharp and tidy for a very long time.
Often, people think a new unit is the only way to fix an ugly finish. However, swapping out a bathtub requires plumbing changes, tiling work, and carpentry, which creates a massive amount of dust and debris throughout your entire living area.
Restoring your current fixture avoids all that headache while costing just a fraction of a total remodel. You keep the classic shape of your existing basin and simply update the color and texture to fit your current style.
Now that you have a beautiful surface, you should avoid using harsh abrasive sponges that could scratch the new coating. Stick to mild cleansers and soft cloths to keep the surface shiny and smooth for as long as possible.
Because the new layer is non-porous, dirt and grime will not stick as easily as they did before. This means you spend much less time scrubbing and more time enjoying the sense of calm that a clean bathroom provides.
We believe that being a local contractor in this part of the state means providing honest and reliable work. You will never find us cutting corners because we know that a good reputation in a small town is everything.
Everything we do is designed to give you a great result without any hidden fees or stress. You get a clear explanation of the process and a firm quote before we ever start working on your property.
Does your tub look dull despite constant scrubbing? That is a clear sign that the original protective seal has worn away over the years. Once the finish wears off, your fixture absorbs soap and bacteria, making it nearly impossible to keep truly clean.
If you notice yellowing or dark stains that just will not go away, it is time to consider a professional refresh. We can cover these issues and give your bathroom a massive upgrade in just one day of work.
Whether you plan on staying in your home for decades or thinking about selling soon, a fresh bathroom adds significant appeal. Potential buyers look at the condition of the kitchen and the bathroom first, so having a sparkling basin is a huge advantage.
You do not need to spend thousands to achieve a high-end look. By choosing to restore rather than replace, you keep your investment focused on quality results that really matter for your long-term satisfaction.

Many homeowners ask if the smell is bad during the application process. We use high-capacity exhaust fans to pull any fumes out of your home, ensuring the air stays clean and fresh throughout the entire time we are working on your tub.
Another common question is how long the surface lasts after we finish. With proper care and by avoiding abrasive cleaners, your new finish can stay in great shape for many years, giving you a wonderful look that stands the test of time.
You spend a significant amount of time in your bathroom, so it should be a space that makes you feel good. By removing the signs of age and wear from your bathtub, you create a much better atmosphere that enhances your home experience.
Our dedication to quality means you do not have to worry about the finish peeling or cracking prematurely. We use the best materials available to ensure that your investment is sound and that you see the value in every single dollar spent.
Hiring a contractor from within the area ensures that you get personalized attention that larger companies simply cannot match. We know the local climate and the specific challenges that homes in this part of the country might face.
Your home is likely your biggest asset, so do not trust it to just anyone. We provide reliable service based on years of experience, and we are always here to back up our work with a firm commitment to your happiness.
The choice to upgrade your bathroom is one that brings immediate results you can see and feel. You deserve a space that reflects your standards and provides the quiet comfort you seek in your own house.
Take that first step now by requesting a free estimate from us. We look forward to working with you and helping you transform your bathroom into the clean and inviting space you have always wanted.
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 New Sweden, 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.
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.
