All over Orleans County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way 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.
Do you stare at that ugly stained basin every single morning? Well, your worn acrylic washing vessel can look brand new again without a massive plumbing bill. This clever process saves you thousands of dollars while fixing chips and cracks instantly.
Now, let us talk about how you can transform your tired bathroom fixture. This local home upgrade brings your dull surface back to life. You will enjoy a fresh and gorgeous washing basin in no time.
This trade involves spraying a specialized bonding agent and high-grade acrylic coating over your existing porcelain or cast iron. Therefore, you skip the demolition mess entirely. Your bathroom stays usable days faster because curing takes very little time.
Through this method, pros eliminate stubborn hard water stains forever. Plus, you get a gleaming finish that resists future damage. That means less scrubbing on your knees every weekend.
Swapping out an old tub destroys surrounding tiles and drains your bank account. Instead, resurfacing lets you keep your original plumbing intact. Your wallet will thank you for making this smart choice.
Beyond saving money, you avoid weeks of construction dust in your house. Workers finish the whole project in just one afternoon. This gives you peace of mind and incredible results.
Remodeling a bathroom usually triggers endless hidden expenses and contractor headaches. On the other hand, updating your existing washing shell costs a fraction of a full rip-out. You keep your hard-earned cash in your pocket.
| Method | Average Cost | Time Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Five Thousand Dollars | Two Weeks |
| Surface Renewal | Five Hundred Dollars | One Day |

Living in this gorgeous northern territory means dealing with harsh winters and heavy snow. Naturally, older homes take a beating from freezing temperatures and shifting foundations. Your bathroom fixtures suffer from stress cracks due to these wild weather swings.
Fortunately, our specialized coatings flex slightly with temperature changes. This prevents the new layer from peeling off during bitter cold snaps. You protect your investment against local climate extremes effortlessly.
Rural water supplies often carry high mineral content that ruins porcelain over the years. Over time, calcium buildup creates rough patches that trap dirt and bacteria. Applying a fresh chemical shield locks out those aggressive minerals completely.
Because the new surface is non-porous, soap scum slides right down the drain. You spend zero time fighting crusty buildup. That benefit alone makes the entire project worth every penny.
First, technicians arrive at your home with specialized ventilation gear and professional sprayers. Then, they thoroughly clean the basin to strip away decades of soap and oil. Every speck of grime disappears before any product touches the walls.
Next, experts mask off your walls and floors to protect your bathroom decor. They apply an industrial-strength acid etch to open up the microscopic pores of the material. This guarantees a permanent chemical bond that never lifts or bubbles.
Following the prep work, skilled hands spray multiple layers of durable aliphatic polyurethane. This creates a brilliant shine that mimics brand new porcelain. Your old fixture looks like it just came out of a luxury showroom.
Once the spraying finishes, the coating cures into a rock-hard shell. You avoid toxic fumes lingering in your house thanks to our professional exhaust systems. Everything remains clean and safe for your family.
After the project wraps up, you must use mild liquid cleaners to protect the gloss. Avoid abrasive scouring pads because they scratch the fresh acrylic layer. Treating the surface gently ensures it lasts for many years.
By following these simple rules, you preserve that brilliant factory shine indefinitely. Your daily routine becomes much more pleasant. You will love showing off your updated bathroom to visiting guests.
Never let standing water sit on the bottom for days on end. Also, refrain from using harsh bleach products that dull the protective sealant. Simple habits keep your investment looking pristine.
Taking care of your upgraded basin is surprisingly easy and straightforward. A quick wipe down after every use does wonders. This lets you maintain maximum coziness and hygiene without breaking a sweat.

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.
