A dull or chipped tub in Orange 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.

By choosing to apply a durable, glossy new protective coat over your worn-out basin, you avoid the messy chaos of traditional plumbing tear-outs.

Many homeowners assume they must replace a chipped or stained tub. However, our advanced bonding agent technology allows us to fuse a hard, synthetic finish directly onto your old cast iron, steel, or fiberglass layout. This means you get a sparkling, smooth surface that looks identical to a brand new installation.
You will love how easy it is to maintain. Because the new glaze seals up all those microscopic pores where dirt and soap scum love to hide, wiping down your tub becomes a total breeze. You get to enjoy a gorgeous, pristine washroom without scrubbing your knuckles raw every weekend.
Our skilled technicians handle every single step with absolute precision. We carefully clean, repair any deep cracks or rust spots, and then spray on the topcoats using professional-grade ventilation equipment. This careful attention to detail ensures a flawless, long-lasting shine that will not peel or discolor over time.
Think about the massive mess of a typical bathroom construction zone. You have to deal with loud noise, dusty air, and pushy contractors tracking mud through your hallways for weeks. Choosing our on-site fixture resurfacing service keeps your home quiet and clean while getting the job done in less than a day.
Let us look at a quick comparison of what you can expect from both options:
| Factor to Consider | Traditional Replacement | Our Professional Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | 3 to 7 days of messy construction | Only 4 to 6 hours from start to finish |
| Total Project Cost | Very expensive due to plumbing and tile work | Extremely affordable and budget-friendly |
| Mess and Cleanup | High amount of drywall dust and debris | Virtually zero mess left behind in your home |
| Durability and Life | Depends on the quality of the new tub | Can easily last 10 to 15 years with proper care |
This table clearly shows how much time and money you save. Why waste your hard-earned savings on expensive demolition when you can get the exact same visual result for a fraction of the price? Our process delivers maximum value while keeping your daily routine completely uninterrupted.
Moreover, you help protect the environment by keeping heavy masonry and old cast iron out of our local landfills. It is a fantastic win-win situation for both your wallet and the planet.
First, we prepare the workspace by masking off all your tiles, walls, and floors to protect them from any overspray. This ensures that only the intended fixture receives the brand new coating. We take this protective step very seriously because we treat your home with the utmost respect.
Next, we apply a specialized acid etching solution to strip away old oils, hard water deposits, and soap film. This step creates a slightly porous profile on the original enamel, which is absolutely vital for the new materials to stick properly. Without this crucial phase, the new finish would simply peel off after a few hot showers.
After repairing any physical damage like chips or rust pockets, we apply our signature molecular bonding primer. This chemical bridge locks the old substrate and the new topcoat together forever. Finally, we spray multiple layers of high-performance acrylic urethane, leaving you with a deep, liquid-like luster.
We proudly serve the lovely, close-knit community of Orange, Vermont, where we understand the unique character of historic homes. With a local population of around 965 residents and a median household income that reflects hard-working values, we know that people here appreciate honest prices and top-tier craftsmanship. Our service area covers the entire local county, including those residing in the ZIP code 05649 area, bringing top-notch home improvement right to your rural doorstep.
Older homes in this beautiful region often feature gorgeous, heavy cast iron tubs that are built like tanks. Replacing these antique fixtures is a nightmare because they are often cemented into the walls. Our specialized protective coating process allows you to preserve that vintage charm while completely erasing decades of wear and tear.
You do not have to worry about cold drafts or long delays during our visits. We work efficiently to ensure your heating system remains undisturbed while we vent our fumes safely outside. This local touch ensures you receive a friendly, personalized experience from neighbors who truly care about your satisfaction.
Once we finish our magic, caring for your renewed fixture is incredibly simple. You must avoid abrasive scouring powders or harsh bleach products, which can dull the shiny finish over time. Instead, we highly recommend using mild dish soap or non-abrasive liquid cleaners paired with a soft sponge.
Always remember to fix any leaky faucets as soon as possible. Constant dripping can wear down even the toughest industrial finishes over a long period. Taking care of small leaks early on preserves the beautiful luster of your newly coated basin for many years to come.
Using a soft towel to wipe down the surface after your shower also helps prevent hard water spots from forming. This simple habit keeps your bathroom looking like a high-end luxury retreat with minimal effort.
Are you ready to finally say goodbye to that ugly, stained wash basin? Our friendly team is standing by to assist you with a completely free, no-obligation price quote tailored to your specific bathroom layout.

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 Orange, 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.
