A dull or chipped tub in North Woodstock 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.
Maybe you look at that stained, chipped surface every single morning and feel a little bit of your soul escape. Honestly, nobody wants to start their day stepping into a faded, scratchy basin that looks like it belongs in an old horror movie. Fortunately, you can actually fix this whole mess without ripping out your walls or spending your entire life savings on a massive remodel.
By choosing to restore the glossy surface of your existing fixture, you save thousands of dollars and days of absolute chaos. This budget-friendly process breathes brand new life into tired porcelain, fiberglass, or cast iron. Right now, our team is ready to visit your home and give you a free estimate to make that ugly eyesore look incredibly shiny again.
Instead of hiring a crew to sledgehammer your bathroom to pieces, this smart alternative focuses on renewal. We start by stripping away the old, failed DIY coatings and deep-cleaning the original material to remove decades of soap scum. Because of this meticulous preparation, the new compounds bond perfectly to the old structure.
Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or scary cracks that make your setup look ancient. After applying a specialized bonding agent, we spray on a high-tech acrylic coating. This leaves you with a gorgeous, high-gloss finish that looks identical to a brand new fixture from the store.
Suddenly, your bathroom feels clean and inviting again. You get to enjoy a sparkling space without dealing with dusty drywall or expensive plumbing re-routing. Additionally, this entire transformation takes just a single day to complete.
Let us talk about the brutal reality of traditional bathroom demolition for a second. When you tear out an old tub, you almost always find hidden water damage behind the walls. Which means a simple weekend project quickly spirals into a multi-week financial disaster.
On top of that, finding reliable plumbers and tile guys in rural areas can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. That gives you a firm number to plan around, with nothing owed until you approve. Our hassle-free service completely bypasses that headache by sending one technician to handle everything from start to finish.
To help you compare your options, we put together a quick look at how these two paths stack up:
| The Comparison Factor | Complete Replacement | Professional Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Duration | One to two weeks of loud construction | Only four to eight hours total |
| Total Average Cost | Very high, often thousands of dollars | Super affordable for any household budget |
| Mess and Dust Level | Extreme drywall dust and heavy debris | Virtually zero mess left behind |
| Plumbing Changes Needed | Yes, usually requires moving old pipes | No, your existing plumbing stays untouched |
Living up here in the gorgeous white mountains of the Granite State means we appreciate durability and honest craftsmanship. Whether you own a cozy ski cabin or a historic family home, keeping your property in top shape is a major priority. With a local median household income of around $44,107, spending five grand on a new bathroom setup just does not make financial sense for most of us.
Our professional service protects your hard-earned money while delivering premium results that last for years. We proudly serve the entire local area, including everyone nestled in the quiet ZIP code of 03262. Even though our mountain town has a cozy population of only about 350 residents, you still deserve access to top-tier home services.
Because we live and work nearby, we understand the unique challenges of local water systems, like mineral buildup from well water. This specific knowledge helps us prepare your fixture so the new glaze resists staining and peeling. Your finished bathroom will look cozy, clean, and ready for guests after a long day of hiking or skiing.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheets to shield your floors and walls. Then, we set up a powerful ventilation system to pull any fumes directly outside. This keeps your indoor air clean and safe while we do our job.
Following that, we apply a commercial-grade acid etch to create microscopic pores in the porcelain. This step is crucial because it gives the new synthetic enamel something strong to grab onto. Many cheap DIY kits skip this part, which is why they usually peel off within a few months.
Once the bonding agents are dry, we apply multiple layers of our premium topcoat using a specialized spray system. This creates a seamless, non-porous barrier that resists mold, mildew, and stubborn dirt. Finally, we clean up our workspace, leaving your bathroom looking spectacular and smelling fresh.
Taking care of your newly glazed basin is actually incredibly easy. You just need to throw away those abrasive scrubbing powders and harsh bleach cleaners. Instead, use mild dish soap or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners to wipe down the surface.
This simple habit prevents micro-scratches that trap dirt over time. Which means your fixture stays bright and shiny with minimal effort on your part. We also recommend keeping leaky faucets fixed so constant dripping does not wear down the glaze prematurely.
By spending just two minutes wiping it down each week, you keep that deep luster alive for up to a decade. This durability makes our service a fantastic investment for busy families or rental property owners. You get a beautiful space without the constant stress of heavy scrubbing.
Stop staring at that ugly, stained bathroom fixture and wishing for a miracle. Our friendly, local team is ready to come out to your home and assess your project in person. We provide completely free, no-obligation quotes so you know exactly what to expect before we ever start.
This transparent pricing ensures you never have to deal with surprise fees or hidden charges. We treat your home with the utmost respect, working quickly to minimize any disruption to your daily routine. Let us help you fall in love with your bathroom all over again without breaking the bank.

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 North Woodstock, 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.
