A dull or chipped tub in Scotia 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.

Demolishing a bathroom creates a massive headache that lasts for weeks. You have to hire plumbers and pay for expensive disposal fees just to get the old cast iron out. Then you find out the new model does not even fit the existing plumbing layout.
Choosing our specialized resurfacing process bypasses all of those annoying construction problems. We work directly on your existing fixture right where it sits. The estimate spells out parts and labor, so nothing comes as a surprise.
Our fast method saves you up to seventy percent of the cost of buying new. You can use that extra money for other fun home improvement projects instead. On top of that, your daily routine goes back to normal almost immediately.
Check out how our restoration process compares to traditional remodeling:
| Project Factor | Our Restoration Service | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden fees |
| Time to Complete | Finished in just a few hours | Takes several days or even weeks |
| Mess and Dust | Virtually none with proper venting | Massive amounts of drywall and plaster dust |
| Lifespan | Lasts for many years with simple care | Matches the life of the new unit |
Achieving a flawless surface requires a very specific sequence of professional steps. First, we clean the area with heavy-duty industrial prep agents to strip away decades of soap scum. Any remaining body oils or mineral deposits will ruin the bond of the new coating.
Next, we repair any deep scratches or rusted spots using waterproof polyester fillers. This step ensures the final coat looks perfectly flat and smooth to the touch. We then apply a specialized molecular bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old porcelain and the new finish.
Finally, we spray several coats of a high-tech acrylic polymer topcoat using precision equipment. This material cures into a rock-hard shell that looks exactly like brand-new baked glaze. You get a deep gloss that resists stains and makes cleaning incredibly easy.
Many homeowners worry that their specific setup cannot be saved. Whether you have an old heavy cast iron basin or a modern fiberglass shower surround, our bonding agents work flawlessly. We even restore worn-out acrylic units that have lost their shine over the years.
Each material requires a slightly different prep technique to ensure the bond holds forever. Our crew knows exactly how to handle delicate antique clawfoot models as well as standard alcove setups. You do not have to worry about peeling or bubbling when the prep is done right.
Maybe you are tired of that outdated pink or avocado green from the nineteen seventies. Our service lets you update the look to a clean, modern white or biscuit color instantly. This simple change makes your entire room feel brighter and much more spacious.
We offer customized tinting options to match your existing toilet and sink perfectly. This creates a cohesive design without the expense of replacing all your ceramic fixtures. You get a fresh look that coordinates beautifully with your current color scheme.

Maintaining your newly coated wash basin is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, porous one. Because the new surface is completely non-porous, dirt and grime have nowhere to stick. You can say goodbye to harsh chemical cleaners and exhausting scrubbing sessions forever.
We recommend using mild, non-abrasive liquid soaps and a soft sponge to wipe down the area. Avoid using bleach, steel wool, or gritty scouring powders that can scratch the glossy topcoat. This simple care routine ensures your fixture stays bright and shiny for up to a decade.
Leaving wet bath mats inside the basin can trap water underneath and damage the bond over time. Simply hang your mats up to dry after each use to protect the finish. These small habits preserve the gorgeous look and keep your bathroom looking like a luxury retreat.
Many cheap DIY kits sold at hardware stores promise amazing results but fail within a few months. Those consumer-grade paints require messy brush applications that leave brush marks and quickly peel off. Our commercial spray system delivers a factory-smooth result that those retail products simply cannot match.
We use heavy-duty exhaust fans to pull any chemical fumes out of your house during the spraying process. This keeps your indoor air clean and safe for your family and pets. Our team takes the time to mask off your walls, floors, and vanity so not a single drop of overspray lands where it should not.
Are you ready to transform your outdated bathroom without the stress of a dusty demolition? Our friendly team is standing by to discuss your project and provide a detailed cost breakdown. We offer completely transparent pricing with absolutely no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Getting started is as simple as putting in one phone call. We will schedule a convenient time to look at your fixture and explain your options. Let us help you fall in love with your bathroom all over again!
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 Scotia, 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.
