(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.

Honestly speaking, tearing out an old washing fixture will tear up your whole house. Demolition work creates tons of nasty dusty mess that gets everywhere in your living room... process takes weeks to finish up. Besides that, you gotta hire plumbers and tile guys who charge crazy high prices. On top of that, your old cast iron tub is probably built way stronger than any cheap plastic stuff sold today. Knocking out walls just to fit a flimsy fiberglass unit feels pretty silly when you think about it. That heavy vintage basin in your home actually has great bones that deserve a second chance.
Luckily, refinishing that worn surface completely avoids those massive head-aches and giant bills. Surface recoating fixes up all those nasty stains and rusty spots right where the unit sits. Furthermore, you save thousands of bucks that you can spend on a nice family vacation instead. Suddenly, your whole washroom looks like a fancy high-end spa without any real stress. Additionally, the entire process usually gets done in just one single afternoon. Naturally, you get to skip the annoying contractor mess completely.
Suddenly, you realize that keeping your current setup is actually the smartest choice. Enamel restoration brings back that smooth sleek sheen you have been missing for years. To be fair, my uncle tried doing a cheap DIY kit himself last summer and it peeled off like bad sunburn in two weeks. Which means hiring someone with proper gear and top-grade materials is the only real way to go. Otherwise, you end up wasting your hard-earned dollars on something that looks totally ruined by next month.
First off, the secret sauce is all about the crazy deep cleaning and chemical prep work. Etching compound strips away decades of nasty soap scum and hidden hard water crust. Naturally, we sand down every inch so the fresh topcoat sticks like super glue forever. Because of this careful steps, the new finish will not chip off when your kids throw their plastic bath toys around. Afterwards, we fix up those annoying little cracks and deep chips using specialized waterproof fillers. Therefore, the foundation becomes totally flat and super smooth before any painting even starts.
Next up, we shoot a heavy-duty industrial primer using high-tech spray guns. Polyurethane topcoats create a tight liquid seal that locks out all future water damage completely. Since we put down multiple thin layers, the deep shiny finish looks totally brand new. In fact, this special liquid acrylic cures into an ultra-hard coat that resists nasty mildew growth. Consequently, scrubbing your washroom floor on hands and knees becomes a thing of the distant past. Plus, you get that luxury polished look that makes your whole house feel way more valuable.
Finally, we polish the whole outer shell until it sparkles under your bright vanity lights. Glossy topcoats deliver that bright cozy feel you always wanted for your relaxing evening soaks. Also, you do not have to worry about weird toxic fumes hanging around your hallways forever. By the time we pack up our tools, the air stays fresh and clean for your family. As a matter of fact, you can hop back into a hot steaming bath in just two short days. Absolutely no waiting around for weeks while messy construction workers eat lunch on your porch.

Over time, hard minerals in tap water turn shiny white tubs into gross yellowed eyesores. Acidic cleaner damage leaves rough patches that snag your washcloths and feel super uncomfortable under your feet. Fortunately, specialized liquid resurfacing wipes out those ugly discolorations completely. On top of that, we can easily fix up scary looking rust spots around the bottom drain hole. So, you never have to feel embarrassed when guests ask to use your main hallway restroom. Instead, you get to show off a bright sparkling washroom that looks straight out of a magazine.
Here are some typical issues we fix up on site all the time:
Surprisingly, even deep cracks and heavy chips vanish under our expert spray application. Structural resin repair strengthens weak spots so your washing basin handles heavy daily use easily. As a result, you do not have to worry about slow hidden leaks ruining your downstairs floor ceiling. Additionally, we add custom non-slip safety textures to the bottom floor area if you want extra grip. Thus, grandma stays completely safe from nasty slips while taking her daily morning shower.
Taking care of your newly finished wash surface is ridiculously easy when you know the basic tricks. Non-abrasive soap spray wipes off water spots without scratching up that brilliant glass-like finish. Basically, you should throw away those harsh bleaching powders and scratchy scouring pads forever. Since the new finish is totally non-porous, grime cannot stick to it anyway... simple sponge wipes everything clean. On top of that, taking a few seconds to rinse down the walls after baths keeps it glowing for many years.
Avoid using harsh chemical drain openers that contain super strong acids or nasty lye compounds. Gentle bathroom cleaners keep the protective topcoat smooth and glossy without causing any dull spots over time. Likewise, keeping leaky faucets fixed up prevents persistent water drops from creating annoying mineral rings around the drain. Which means your small daily habits protect your investment so it lasts for over a decade easily. Truly, low maintenance living is one of the absolute best perks of this entire service.
Remember to keep bath mats with sticky bottom suction cups away from your fresh surface. Pervious rubber mats trap moisture underneath and can slowly ruin even the strongest protective coatings over time. Instead, ask us to spray down a permanent built-in textured bottom during our restoration visit. Consequently, you get maximum foot grip without risking any damage to your gorgeous bright finish. Simple precautions like these make sure your washroom stays looking like a million bucks forever.

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 Scotchtown, 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.
