A dull or chipped tub in Sheffield 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.
You can finally stop hiding your ugly bathroom behind a thick shower curtain.
We can help you transform that worn out tub today.
Our fast resurfacing process saves you thousands of dollars compared to a messy demolition.
Maybe you recently bought one of the charming historic homes in Franklin County and realized the cast iron tub looks prehistoric.
Actually... it probably is pretty old!
Fortunately, you do not have to rip your walls apart to get a clean, shiny bathing space.
Instead of hiring plumbers who will tear up your floors, we offer a smart, localized solution that takes just a few hours.
Which means you get to keep your original fixtures while upgrading their surface to a brilliant, factory-like shine.
This lets you enjoy a sparkling clean basin without the massive headache of a full remodel.
First of all, let us talk about the sheer chaos of a traditional bathroom renovation.
You might think buying a cheap new acrylic basin at the local hardware store is a bargain.
But wait until you see the contractor bills for the demolition work.
Once those workers start hammering away at your old tiles, they often find hidden water damage or mold.
Suddenly, your simple weekend project turns into a month-long financial disaster.
Our specialized chemical bonding process bypasses this drama entirely by working with what you already have.
On top of that, older homes often feature high-quality materials like heavy cast iron or durable steel.
Why throw away a solid fixture just because the finish looks dull, stained, or scratched?
We restore the original luster right in place, which keeps heavy waste out of our local landfills too.
Now, you might wonder how we actually turn a stained, yellowed basin into a pristine white masterpiece.
This is not just some cheap DIY spray paint from a can that will peel off in three weeks.
We use professional-grade bonding agents, durable acrylic urethanes, and specialized ventilation equipment to ensure a flawless finish.
To begin, we meticulously clean the old porcelain to strip away years of soap scum and hard water deposits.
After that, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks using waterproof polyester fillers.
This step creates a perfectly smooth canvas before we apply our advanced molecular bonding primers.
Next, we spray several coats of high-tech topcoat that fuses directly to your old fixture.
This chemical fusion creates a non-porous barrier that resists future stains, mold, and mildew growth.
Ultimately, you get a beautiful finish that looks identical to a brand new porcelain fixture.

This makes our service an incredibly smart investment for both long-time homeowners and people looking to sell.
Moreover, we serve everyone throughout the entire 50475 ZIP code area with prompt, friendly service.
We treat your home with the utmost respect and always leave our workspace completely spotless.
You will never have to clean up a giant pile of plaster or dust after we leave.
Naturally, you want your beautiful, glossy new surface to stay bright and clean for a very long time.
The good news is that caring for a restored basin is actually much easier than scrubbing old, porous porcelain.
Because the new surface is completely non-porous, dirt and soap residue wipe away with minimal effort.
However, you must avoid abrasive cleaning powders or harsh bleach products that can scratch the finish.
Simply use a mild liquid dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner along with a soft sponge.
This simple routine keeps the gloss looking brand new for up to fifteen years.
Additionally, we highly recommend removing any suction-cup bath mats from the bottom of the basin.
These mats can trap water underneath and eventually damage the bond of the new coating over time.
We can even apply a permanent, slip-resistant texture to the bottom of your tub during our process instead.
First, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to shield your walls.
This prep work ensures that our spray mist only lands on the specific fixture we are restoring.
We also set up a heavy-duty exhaust fan to pull any chemical odors safely out of your home.
Then, we apply our specialized chemical compounds to etch the old porcelain and create microscopic grip.
This step is absolutely vital because it guarantees our new coatings will never peel or bubble up.
Once the primer cures, we spray the durable acrylic urethane topcoat in several thin, even layers.
Do not worry if your current basin looks like it went through a war zone.
We routinely fix deep chips, ugly scratches, and even rusty areas around the drain opening.
Our technicians use specialized rust inhibitors to stop the decay before sealing the area permanently.
Which means you do not have to feel embarrassed when guests use your hallway bathroom anymore.
We can make even the most neglected, rusted-out fixtures look like they just came off the showroom floor.
Our attention to detail ensures a seamless repair that blends perfectly with the rest of the surface.

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 Sheffield, 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.
