A dull or chipped tub in Rochester 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.

First off, late night water leaks can ruin your whole day. You look down at that old stained tub basin and feel sad. Honestly, dirty porcelain cracks make the whole room feel gross. Surface restoration fixes these awful issues without ripping out your plumbing wall!
Next up, torn out fixtures cost way too much money. Buying brand new big acrylic tubs will drain your savings fast. Plus, hiring huge crews to smash tile destroys your hard earned peace. Porcelain coating gives you that shiny fresh look for half the cash.
On top of that, small chips turn into massive rusted holes real fast. Water sneaks right under worn layers when you drop shampoo bottles... It causes quiet wood rot underneath your floor boards! Fixing it early keeps your bathroom safe and saves you massive headache later.
Naturally, you probably wonder how this quick magic trick actually works. Well, our team comes directly to your house with heavy sanders and clear mind. First, we clean off old soap scum with deep chemical cleaners. Enamel resurfacing relies on a super clean base to stick right.
Suddenly, those tiny deep scratches just vanish into thin air. After sanding, we brush on strong bonder liquid that smells pretty chemical. Then, we spray fresh shiny finish paint layers all over the basin. Cast iron repair seals everything up real tight so water bounces away.
To be honest, the whole job takes just a few hours. You do not need to move out or sleep at your auntie house. Actually, the fresh top coat cures up completely while you go sleep. You get to jump in a hot shower the very next night!
| Action Steps | Standard Tub Removal | Our Refinishing Method |

| Total Project Mess | Dusty drywall and broken tile everywhere | Zero dust with sealed off plastic curtains |
| Wallet Impact | Super high cost for brand new stuff | Super low cost for total surface renewal |
Look, those cheap rolled box kits at hardware stores seem super cheap. Indeed, my neighbor tried one last year and it looked like lumpy milk. The cheap acrylic paint peeled off in sheets within three short months! Bathtub recoating requires high pressure spray guns to look totally smooth and fancy.
Furthermore, store bought paints do not grip glossy old clay surfaces well. You end up scrubbing off wet soft flakes while taking warm baths. That fine chemical dust gets all over your clean bathroom towels too. Professional chemical bonding resins stick like crazy iron glue instead!
Which means you really save cash by doing it right the first time. Stop wasting long weekend hours on sticky mess that never dries flat. Let our local guys bring the industrial grade resin materials to your home. You get high end slick cozy bathroom vibes without doing heavy labor.

Right away, check for tiny orange rust spots around your metal drain ring. That rusty brown color means water eats through your protective glossy coat. Rust spreads quick under paint layers like nasty tiny spider webs! Drain rim seal work stops rust dead in its tracks today.
Besides that, feel around the bottom floor for rough sand paper textures. That rough feeling means factory glaze wore down completely over long years. Dirt sticks inside those micro pores and turns dark gray no matter how hard you scrub. Glaze restoration makes the floor super smooth so dirt washes right down.
Meanwhile, check if your bath color looks like gross seventies yellow avocado green. Modern homes look way better with bright clean hospital white glossy basins. Updating that old color brightens up the whole small room instantly without changing walls. Your whole family will love walking into that clean bright space!
First off, we cover your whole bathroom floor with heavy cloth blankets. We seal off doorway gaps so zero chemical smells drift into bedrooms.

Finally, we spray three dense coats of top tier acrylic polymer finish. Our warm air sprayers lay down micro fine mist for glassy slick shine. We carefully pull away all masking tape lines before leaving your clean house. You just let it cure solid overnight and enjoy your fresh bath!
Obviously, you want your smooth glossy new surface to last many long years. Never use harsh abrasive bleaching powders or wire scrub pads on fresh paint. Those harsh chemicals gouge microscopic scratches that ruin smooth glossy mirror shine fast! Acrylic tub care just needs gentle soap spray and soft sponge cloths.
On top of that, leaky bath faucets will drip holes through fresh top coats over time. Fix those drippy metal spouts fast so water does not sit forever on resin. Also, remove wet rubber bath mats after taking every warm morning shower. Trapped water under suction cups can cause tiny paint bubbles to pop up!
In short, treat your newly restored basin like nice fine polished car paint. Mild dish soap washes away body oils fast without stripping down deep gloss shine. Following these basic easy rules keeps your bright basin looking like new forever. You get massive long term value out of your small single investment.

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 Rochester, 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.
