A dull or chipped tub in Orford 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.
Do you look at your old stained tub and sigh every morning? That tired porcelain really drags down your bathroom vibes, so let us fix that right away.
Most folks in Grafton County think ripping out a cast iron monster is the only way forward. Fortunately, spraying a fresh protective coating saves you thousands of dollars and avoids weeks of messy demolition.
Instead of smashing tile and hauling heavy tubs down the stairs, local pros apply industrial-grade polymers straight onto your existing unit. This advanced technique chemically fuses with the original surface to create a glossy shield that lasts for years. Because the old fixture stays right where it is, your plumbing remains completely untouched and functional.
That means you dodge costly plumber fees and unexpected wall repairs entirely. Which means you can actually afford a nice vacation with the money you save on home renovations.
With median household incomes hovering around regional averages, every single penny counts toward your family budget. Traditional bathroom remodels easily drain ten thousand dollars or more from your savings account before you even finish picking out tiles. On the contrary, upgrading that scratched basin costs a tiny fraction of a full rip-out project. This leaves plenty of cash in your pocket for other household upgrades.
Plus, you get to keep your original vintage clawfoot piece intact without losing its unique charm. This saves you from buying cheap modern plastic replacements that crack under pressure.
Before applying any shiny new topcoat, technicians scrub away decades of stubborn soap scum and rust stains. Then they etch the porcelain so the primer actually sticks instead of peeling off later. This gritty step requires serious elbow grease and proper ventilation gear to keep the workspace safe.
Naturally, our crew handles all the heavy scrubbing so you do not have to lift a finger. That lets you relax on the porch while professionals turn your ugly bathroom eyesore into a pristine masterpiece.
After everything is taped off and prepped, workers spray specialized acrylic polyurethane coatings using high-velocity HVLP systems. This creates a gorgeous smooth barrier that mimics authentic porcelain without any rough orange peel texture. Within just a few hours, your dull basin transforms into a bright white sanctuary of relaxation.
Best of all, you can use your newly upgraded washing station less than forty-eight hours after we pack up our gear. That gets your daily routine back on track without any annoying hotel stays.
| Renovation Method | Average Cost | Time Required | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | High | One to Three Weeks | Extreme Dust |
| Acrylic Liner | Medium | Several Days | Moderate |
| Surface Spraying | Low | One Day | Minimal |
Looking at that chart makes the smart choice pretty obvious for most homeowners around ZIP codes 03777. Why suffer through weeks of demolition dust when you can get stunning results in a single afternoon?
Furthermore, local property values in New Hampshire get a nice little bump when bathrooms look freshly updated. That helps tremendously if you plan on putting your house on the market anytime soon.
Many skeptics worry that sprayed coatings will bubble up after just a few hot showers. However, modern bonding agents create a permanent molecular grip that resists steam and standing water wonderfully. As long as you avoid harsh abrasive cleansers, your revamped basin will look brand new for a very long time.
This durability gives you total peace of mind regarding your investment. Which means you can scrub away dirt normally without stressing about damaging the fresh finish.
Some people stress out about toxic smells lingering in their cozy New Hampshire homes for days on end. Fortunately, professional crews use heavy-duty exhaust fans to pull all nasty vapors right out through the window. That keeps your indoor air clean and breathable while the curing magic happens behind closed doors.
On top of that, low-VOC formulas have come a long way in recent years to protect the environment. That lets you upgrade your home responsibly without harming local ecosystems.
Once your project is complete, you need to ditch those harsh scouring powders that scratch delicate surfaces. Instead, pick up mild dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth to wipe down the basin weekly. This simple habit prevents mineral buildup from ruining that gorgeous high-gloss shine.
Taking care of your updated fixture ensures it stays beautiful for over a decade. That saves you from dealing with recurring maintenance headaches down the road.
Even though the sprayed coat is remarkably tough, dropping heavy metal tools can still chip the top layer. Therefore, using a rubber bath mat protects the bottom from accidental impacts and adds extra traction. This keeps family members safe from slipping while stepping in and out of the soapy water.
Smart precautions like these extend the lifespan of your upgraded washing station dramatically. That means you get maximum value out of every single dollar you spend.

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 Orford, 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.
