Maybe you look at your stained tub every day and feel a bit discouraged by the dingy color.
Replacing that heavy cast iron monster requires tearing out walls and hiring expensive plumbers.
Fortunately, our specialized surface renewal process saves you from that absolute nightmare.
This means you keep your sturdy original tub while making it look brand new.
On top of that, the entire process takes just a single afternoon to complete.
We carefully prep the old porcelain and apply a high-tech liquid acrylic coating that bonds instantly.
Consequently, you avoid weeks of dust, loud banging, and contractors walking through your house.
You get to use your beautiful, shiny shower again in just a couple of days.
Actually, many homeowners do not realize how much money they waste on unnecessary demolition.
Landfills end up filled with perfectly good fixtures that just needed a cosmetic face-lift.
Choosing to recoat your existing tub is a fantastic way to protect the environment.
Plus, you keep your hard-earned cash in your wallet for other fun home projects.
First, we clean the area with industrial-strength cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum.
Any chips or deep scratches get filled with a tough polyester putty that cures quickly.
This step ensures the final finish looks completely flat and stays durable for years.
We take this preparation very seriously because a clean surface is key to success.
Next, our technicians set up a powerful exhaust fan to vent all the fumes outside safely.
We mask off your walls, floors, and vanity using heavy paper and painters tape.
Which means your precious bathroom stays completely clean and free of any accidental overspray.
We treat your property with the utmost respect throughout the entire visit.
Then, we wipe down the porcelain with a proprietary molecular bonding primer.
This liquid acts like double-sided tape on a microscopic level to lock the new layer down.
Without this crucial chemical step, the fresh glaze would simply peel off like a sunburn.
Our high-quality materials guarantee your new finish will not bubble or crack over time.
Afterward, we spray several thin layers of an advanced acrylic urethane coating.
This specialized material creates a gorgeous high-gloss luster that looks identical to brand new porcelain.
Naturally, we offer different shades of white and almond to match your style perfectly.
You will be amazed at how bright and clean your whole bathroom feels afterward.

A scrubby, peeling tub is simply not inviting after a long day under the California sun.
Our sparkling clean finishes make you actually look forward to taking a relaxing soak.
We bring top-tier workmanship right to your doorstep with friendly, neighborly service.
Once we finish our work, caring for your shiny tub is incredibly simple.
You must avoid abrasive powder cleansers that can scratch the delicate acrylic surface.
Instead, use mild dish soap or a gentle liquid spray with a soft microfiber cloth.
This easy routine keeps the brilliant luster looking brand new for many years.
Additionally, you should never leave wet bottles or damp washcloths sitting on the ledge.
Standing water trapped underneath items can eventually dull the shiny topcoat over time.
Hanging a simple shower caddy keeps your soap and shampoo bottles organized and dry.
These small habits ensure your investment remains absolutely pristine and beautiful.
Sometimes, people ask if they can use suction cup bathmats on the new surface.
We highly recommend avoiding those because pulling them up can stress the chemical bond.
Instead, we can apply a permanent, slip-resistant texture to the bottom of the tub during application.
This built-in safety feature protects your family without risking any damage to the glaze.
Now, you do not have to live with an ugly, stained bathroom fixture anymore.
Our friendly local crew is ready to drive out to your home and assess your project.
We answer all your questions and provide a detailed, honest estimate at zero cost to you.

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 Tarpey, 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.
