A dull or chipped tub in Sunbury 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.
That old tub in your home probably looks pretty rough these days because years of scrubbing can strip away the original shine. Replacing it sounds like a massive headache that involves tearing out walls and spending thousands of hard-earned dollars. Fortunately, we can spray a durable new high-gloss coating right over your existing fixture to make it look brand new in just a few hours!
This smart alternative saves you tons of cash while completely avoiding the chaotic demolition zone of a traditional remodel. You get to keep your heavy cast iron or sturdy steel setup but with a sparkling clean surface. Our local team loves helping folks get that clean feeling back without the stress of a major construction project.
If you want to see how affordable this transformation is, we would love to stop by and give you a free estimate. We believe in honest pricing and clear communication so you know exactly what to expect before we even open a single can of sealant. Let us help you fall in love with your bathroom all over again!
Buying a brand new basin might seem cheap at the store until you realize you have to pay for plumbing hookups and wall tile repairs. Those hidden expenses quickly add up to a scary number that can ruin your monthly budget. By choosing to restore the existing surface instead, you keep those extra dollars in your pocket for other home improvements.
On top of saving money, this process takes less than a single day to complete from start to finish. You do not have to live without a working shower for weeks on end while contractors track dirt through your hallways. Our system seals up those ugly, porous microscopic chips where mold and mildew love to hide from your scrub brush.
That means your weekly cleaning chore becomes a quick wipe-down rather than a painful upper-body workout. We use premium bonding agents that fuse directly to your old porcelain, acrylic, or fiberglass. The result is a smooth, gleaming shield that resists stains and looks absolutely incredible.
First, we protect your entire bathroom by taping off the surrounding walls and covering your floors with heavy-duty drop cloths. This ensures that no overspray or dust lands on your vanity, toilet, or fixtures. We also set up a powerful ventilation fan to pull any strong chemical odors directly out of your house.
Next, we use a specialized acid etch or mechanical abrasion process to strip away old soap scum and body oils. This step is absolutely critical because the new coating will not stick to a dirty or greasy surface. We carefully repair any deep chips, rust spots, or scratches with a waterproof filler so the foundation is perfectly flat.
Then, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical superglue between the old surface and the new topcoat. Finally, we spray multiple layers of an industrial-grade acrylic urethane using a high-volume, low-pressure system. This technique creates a factory-like finish that is incredibly durable and beautiful.
To help you make the best decision for your home, we put together a quick comparison table of the most common ways to fix up an ugly bathing area.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time to Complete | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Very High | 3 to 7 Days | Extremely Dusty |
| Plastic Tub Liner | Medium to High | 1 to 2 Days | Low to Medium |
| Our Restoration Service | Very Low | 4 to 6 Hours | Minimal |
Which means you get the look of a brand new fixture for a fraction of the cost and zero construction dust. Plastic liners can trap water underneath and cause hidden mold growth over time, which is a nasty surprise nobody wants. Our seamless sprayed-on barrier eliminates that risk entirely by sticking directly to the original structure.

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 Sunbury, 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.
