A dull or chipped tub in South Hill 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.
Are you tired of looking at those chipped, stained, or dated bathroom fixtures every single morning? You can actually revitalize your entire bathroom space without the nightmare of ripping out tiles or heavy plumbing work in your home.
This process involves a specialized surface renewal that breathes new life into your worn-out fixtures. You get a fresh, clean, and durable finish that makes your bathroom feel brand new again.
When you choose this route, you avoid the massive mess that typically comes with home remodeling projects. Instead of spending weeks dealing with dust and construction noise, you can enjoy a completed project in just a single day.
This approach saves you a massive amount of money compared to replacing your entire tub. Since you keep the original structure, you only pay for the high-tech coating and the preparation work required for a lasting finish.
Most homeowners in South Hill, New York, discover that their old tubs are actually built better than modern replacements. By choosing to restore rather than replace, you keep that sturdy cast iron or heavy porcelain base intact.
Because you are essentially applying a new, non-porous layer, you prevent water from seeping into cracks. This means you eliminate mold growth and make your cleaning routine significantly faster than it was before.
Our team uses a multi-step bonding process that ensures the new material adheres perfectly to your existing surface. We start by cleaning everything with industrial-grade chemicals to remove years of soap scum and mineral deposits.
Next, we sand the surface to create a microscopic texture that helps the coating stick like crazy. Once the base is prepped, we spray on the finish, which acts as a protective shield for your fixture.
Living in Tompkins County means dealing with specific water hardness levels that can take a toll on your bathroom fixtures. You deserve a solution that handles these local challenges while keeping your space looking sharp.
Since the population here is around 6,468, you probably value a neighborly approach where someone actually shows up on time. We take pride in our work because we know that our reputation is built on how well we treat our community.
With a median household income of $53,839 in our area, spending thousands on a total bathroom gut job just does not make sense for everyone. You get to keep more of your hard-earned money while achieving the same visual result.
Imagine what else you could do with those extra thousands sitting in your savings account. Maybe you want to buy new fixtures, update your vanity, or simply enjoy a nice vacation with your family this year.
Many people wonder if this new surface will last as long as a brand new tub. When you treat the surface with care, you can expect many years of reliable use before needing any maintenance.
You just need to avoid using harsh, abrasive cleaners that might scratch the new finish. We always recommend sticking to mild, non-abrasive soaps to keep that glossy look shining bright for a long time.
You might be wondering how much this would cost for your specific situation. We make it easy by coming out to your home to look at the condition of your fixture firsthand.
Once we assess the damage and the size of your tub, we provide a transparent, no-pressure quote. You get to decide when you want to proceed without feeling rushed or forced into making a quick decision.
Before we arrive, you should clear out any personal items from the tub area to give us plenty of room. We take care of masking off the walls, the floor, and the plumbing fixtures to ensure no overspray happens.
Because we use specialized ventilation equipment, you never have to worry about strong fumes lingering in your house. We focus on keeping your home environment clean and pleasant throughout the entire duration of the work.
Most projects are finished within a few hours, though we recommend waiting twenty-four hours before using the tub. This curing time lets the coating harden into a rock-solid, smooth barrier that resists daily wear.
Once the curing period ends, you can enjoy a soak that feels luxurious and refreshed. It really is a massive change for such a small time commitment on your part.

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 South Hill, 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.
