A dull or chipped tub in Saint Francis 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.
Your old tub looks downright depressing with all those ugly stains and worn-out patches staring back at you every single morning.
Fortunately, you do not have to spend a fortune on a messy demolition crew just to get a fresh, shiny look again.
By choosing a specialized surface renewal instead, you can save thousands of dollars while completely transforming your bathroom space in less than a day.
Think about how nice it will feel to slide into a sparkling, clean-looking basin without shivering at the sight of rusty rings around the drain.
Our professional team specializes in applying a high-performance liquid acrylic coating directly over your existing cast iron, steel, or fiberglass fixture.
This budget-friendly cosmetic makeover breathes new life into your home with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Since we love helping our neighbors make smart home improvements, we are ready to visit your house and provide a detailed cost assessment absolutely free.
Taking this simple step lets you plan your budget accurately without any high-pressure sales tactics or hidden fees.
Reach out to us today to request your complimentary on-site estimate and take the first step toward a beautiful bathroom upgrade.
First, we must thoroughly clean the existing structure using industrial-strength cleaners that strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits.
This critical preparation step ensures that the new coating bonds perfectly to the original material without peeling later on.
If we skip this deep clean, the fresh finish will simply bubble up and fail within a few short months.
Next, we carefully repair any deep chips, scratches, or rusty spots using a premium waterproof filler compound.
After sanding those patched areas completely flat, we apply a specialized bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old enamel and the new topcoat.
This proprietary chemical primer is the secret weapon that separates a shaky DIY attempt from a durable, long-lasting professional result.
Finally, our skilled technicians use a professional spray system to apply multiple coats of an advanced aliphatic polyurethane finish.
Which means you get a uniform, factory-like gloss that resists impact and stays bright white for many years to come.
Once the curing process wraps up, your renewed fixture will gleam with a wonderful sense of renewed cleanliness and style.
Opting for this smart refinishing method saves you from the nightmare of ripping out walls, plumbing lines, and floor tiles.
Indeed, a traditional bathroom remodel often spirals out of control when contractors discover hidden water damage or outdated pipes behind the drywall.
You can easily avoid those costly surprises by keeping your perfectly functional fixture right where it is.
On top of that, the entire process takes only a few hours to complete, rather than weeks of loud construction noise and endless dust.
Which means your home remains clean, quiet, and fully functional throughout the brief duration of our visit.
You will regain full access to your shower space in just twenty-four to forty-eight hours after we pack up our tools.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple table highlighting how this smart alternative stacks up against a full replacement:
| Comparison Factor | Professional Surface Renewal | Full Fixture Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Highly affordable, saving up to 75% | Very expensive due to labor and plumbing |
| Time to Complete | Usually done in 4 to 6 hours | Can drag on for several days or weeks |
| Mess and Disruption | Very minimal, localized dust control | Major demolition, drywall dust, and debris |
| Durability | Lasts 10 to 15 years with proper care | Long-lasting but requires periodic caulking |
Living up here in the scenic northern reaches of Aroostook County means we understand the value of hard work, honest pricing, and reliable service.
Our small-town community, which sits comfortably near the Canadian border, has a modest population of about 485 residents who appreciate quality craftsmanship.
We treat every single home we visit with the utmost respect, as if we were working on our own family property.
Whether you reside in a classic farmhouse or a modern home within the 04774 ZIP code, we tailor our process to fit your unique building style.
Given that the median household income in our lovely section of Maine requires smart budgeting, we make sure our services offer maximum value for every dollar.
You do not have to settle for a dingy bathroom when an affordable, high-quality solution is just a quick phone call away.
Furthermore, we always use top-tier ventilation equipment during the application process to exhaust any chemical vapors directly outdoors.
This professional setup ensures that your family and pets remain completely safe from strong odors while the new surface cures.
We take pride in our clean work habits, leaving your bathroom looking spotless and ready for use once the curing time concludes.
To keep your renewed finish looking like a million bucks, you should avoid abrasive scouring powders or harsh bleach products.
Instead, we recommend using mild, non-abrasive liquid soaps and soft microfiber cloths to wipe down the basin after each use.
This gentle cleaning routine prevents microscopic scratches that can dull the gorgeous gloss over time.
Additionally, you must never use suction-cup bath mats on the newly coated surface, as the suction can pull the finish away from the base material.
If you want extra slip resistance, just let us know before we begin, and we can easily integrate a permanent slip-resistant texture right into the coating.
This thoughtful option provides excellent peace of mind for kids and elderly family members alike.
Now is the perfect time to stop ignoring that embarrassing, worn-out tub and finally do something about it.
We invite you to contact us today so we can schedule a convenient time to visit your home and inspect your bathroom setup.
Our team will answer all your questions and hand you a written, free estimate that details exactly how we can restore your peace of mind.
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 Saint Francis, 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.

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.
