A dull or chipped tub in Taylors Island 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 staring at a nasty, stained basin that makes your whole washroom look dirty? Getting a shiny finish without blowing thousands on a full remodel is actually pretty easy... Let us dive into how you can make that old tub look brand new today!
Look, nobody likes taking a bath in a tub that looks like it survived a war. Over time, that old heavy porcelain starts fading, chipping, and holding onto grimy soap scum that just will not scrub out no matter how hard you scrub.
Instead of tearing out your whole room and wrecking your floorboards, getting a fresh thick coating applied right over the old finish saves you massive money. Honestly, ripping out a heavy old basin breaks your back and burns a massive hole right in your pocketbook.
Besides saving your hard-earned cash, fixing up that ruined surface takes just a single day instead of weeks of messy construction. That means you get your bathroom back super fast without dirty contractors walking through your hallway for a month...
First off, we come in and give the whole area a crazy deep chemical wash to eat away every last drop of greasy grime and old soap residue. After that, we fix up those annoying little rust spots, sharp cracks, and ugly gouges using special heavy-duty filling compounds.
Next, a super strong bonding agent gets sprayed all over that raw surface so the new glossy topcoat sticks like superglue. Then, we lay down multiple smooth layers of liquid synthetic coating using top-grade spraying gear that makes it look buttery smooth.
Finally, the strong gloss layer cures into a super tough shell that looks just like brand new factory glass. As a result, you get a bright, sparkling washroom centerpiece that completely transforms the entire vibe of your home overnight!
| What Gets Done | Full Replacement | Professional Surface Renewal |
|---|---|---|
| Work Time | 3 to 7 Days | 4 to 6 Hours |
| Mess Level | Dust Everywhere | Super Clean and Contained |
| Total Cost | Extremely Expensive | Super Affordable |
Well, saving thousands of bucks is obviously the biggest reason why people jump on this awesome upgrade option. On top of that, you keep that old solid cast iron or sturdy steel basin, which is honestly built ten times better than the cheap plastic tubs they make nowadays!
Moreover, cleaning becomes a total breeze because the fresh sleek chemical finish leaves zero microscopic pores for nasty mold and dirt to hide in. A simple wipe down with a soft sponge keeps it looking crazy bright for years and years down the road.
Furthermore, if you ever plan on renting out your place or selling it, a shiny washroom instantly boosts your home value big time. Prospective buyers love seeing a spotless soak tub that looks totally new!
Living down in this quiet marshy fishing peninsula community near the Chesapeake Bay comes with some serious humidity and hard water issues. Furthermore, with only around 196 people living across this beautiful section of Dorchester County, lots of older homes around the 21669 area code still feature those gorgeous original heavy basins that just need some tender loving care.
Additionally, local well water packed with minerals often leaves awful orange rust lines and chalky white rings around your drain hole. Spraying on a modern high-grade protective coat stops those pesky harsh minerals from ruining your fixture ever again.
Also, since the median household income sits right around $49,250 around these parts, nobody wants to throw away ten grand on an overpriced, unnecessary total bath remodel... Saving your cash while making your house look stunning is just smart living!
Maybe you noticed the bottom feels rough like sand paper when you sit down to relax after a hard day of work. Alternatively, maybe the original color is some horrifying 1970s avocado green or ugly pink that hurts your eyes every time you walk in the room.
Consequently, water starts soaking deep into exposed raw iron spots underneath the worn glass glaze, creating nasty dark rust holes. Catching those ugly spots early prevents deep structural damage before the whole thing is completely ruined beyond repair.
In addition to rust, hairline cracks can slowly leak water onto your subfloor without you even knowing it until the wood rots out. Sealing all those cracks under a heavy new shell keeps your home totally dry and safe!
Wait, have you ever actually watched someone try to haul a heavy old cast iron basin down a narrow flight of stairs? It ruins your drywall, scratches your doorframes, and takes like three huge guys sweating all over your clean floors!
On the other hand, refinishing keeps everything right where it sits, so zero plumbing needs to be unhooked or ripped out of your walls. That means no paying expensive plumbers or drywall crews to patch up giant holes in your house...
Therefore, opting for a smooth spray-on gloss restoration lets you keep your original tile work totally untouched. It is hands down the cleanest home improvement project you could ever ask for!
To keep your shiny top layer looking awesome, you gotta ditch those harsh abrasive scrubbing powders and scratchy wire sponges for good. Instead, just use basic gentle liquid soap along with a soft microfiber cloth every week or so.
Besides using soft sponges, never leave wet bath mats sitting on the bottom for days at a time, because trapped moisture can ruin the bond underneath. Taking care of your fresh topcoat takes practically zero effort, but it sure keeps that glossy shine popping for decades!
Plus, avoid throwing harsh drain cleaners down the pipe without using a proper funnel, since strong acids can harm the fresh finish over time. Taking basic precautions protects your investment so you never have to think about it again.
First, our skilled worker sets up heavy ventilation blowers out your window so no chemical odors stick around inside your house while we work. Then, we carefully mask off your walls, floor, faucets, and tile with heavy plastic sheeting to keep overspray off your property.
Next, we lay down the strong liquid glaze using precise multi-layer passes to build up a super durable protective surface. Afterward, we clean up every bit of tape and trash, leaving your room totally spotless and ready to cure overnight.
By the time we pack up our gear, you are left with a glittering centerpiece that makes your whole house feel totally upgraded. It really is that fast and simple!
Why keep living with an ugly, stained, dull old basin when a simple click can fix everything for cheap? You deserve a clean, beautiful space to soak in after a long day without feeling grossed out by old stains.

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 Taylors Island, 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.
