A dull or chipped tub in Tower City 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.

First, we need to clear up exactly what this process involves because a lot of people get confused about how it works.
We do not just paint over your old porcelain or fiberglass with cheap store-bought enamel.
On the contrary, we use industrial-grade bonding agents and specialized acrylic coatings that fuse directly to the original material.
To start the job, we thoroughly clean the area to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits.
After that, we repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots so the foundation is completely smooth.
Then, we apply a proprietary primer that ensures the new topcoat sticks like glue for years to come.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of a high-tech finish that cures into a rock-hard, glossy shell.
This gorgeous result mimics the look of brand-new porcelain perfectly.
Which means you get a sparkling clean basin that feels incredibly smooth to the touch, without the premium price tag.
When you opt for this smart restoration method, the immediate savings in your wallet will put a smile on your face.
Replacing a cast iron or steel tub often requires breaking walls, moving pipes, and replacing surround tiles.
By choosing to recoat the surface instead, you bypass all that chaos and keep your hard-earned money.
Time is another huge factor that you should consider.
A full bathroom remodel can easily drag on for weeks, leaving you without a place to wash up.
Conversely, our on-site service usually takes less than a single day to complete, and you can use your shower again very quickly.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple breakdown of what to expect:
| Factor | Full Replacement | Our Refinishing Service |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High (often thousands) | Highly Affordable |
| Time to Complete | Days or weeks of mess | Usually under 24 hours |
| Mess and Dust | Extremely dusty and noisy | Minimal, fully contained area |
| Durability | Long-lasting but pricey | Excellent with basic care |
On top of those savings, you also do a favor for the planet by keeping heavy materials out of local dump sites.
Preserving your sturdy old cast iron tub is actually a fantastic eco-friendly choice.
This lets you enjoy modern style while preserving the high-quality craftsmanship of older construction.
Living and working in Schuylkill County gives us a real appreciation for the historic homes in our area.
Many houses built in our region feature beautiful, heavy tubs that are far better quality than the flimsy plastic ones sold today.
We take pride in saving these classic fixtures and making them look brand new again.
Our service area covers the entire local community, including everyone living within the 17980 ZIP code.
Whether you reside in a cozy bungalow or a larger family home, we treat your property with the utmost respect.
We understand that the median household income in our neighborhood requires smart, practical spending, which is why we keep our prices competitive.
Since our local population is quite small, around 1,396 residents, word of mouth and trust mean everything to our business.
We do not cut corners or use cheap materials that will peel off in a few months.
Instead, we focus on delivering top-notch craftsmanship that keeps our neighbors recommending us to their friends.
You might be wondering if your specific setup is a good candidate for our specialized coating process.
The good news is that we work on a wide variety of surfaces, including old-fashioned cast iron, pressed steel, and modern fiberglass.
Even if your unit has a few ugly chips or spiderweb cracks, we can fix those blemishes before we seal it.
We also handle acrylic surfaces and even the tiled walls surrounding your shower.
If your tile grout is stained and impossible to clean, we can spray the tiles too, sealing those grout lines forever.
This creates a seamless, easy-to-clean wall system that prevents mold from growing in the cracks.
Once we finish our work, keeping that brilliant shine alive is incredibly simple.
You must avoid abrasive cleaners like steel wool or gritty scrubbing powders because they can scratch the protective topcoat.
Instead, we recommend using mild, non-abrasive liquid soaps and a soft sponge to wipe down the basin.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet bottles or soap bars sitting on the ledge for long periods.
Moisture trapped underneath these items can eventually weaken the bond over several years.
Taking care of your beautiful new finish ensures it stays bright and clean for a very long time...
Now, you do not have to live with an eyesore of a bathroom any longer.
Our skilled technicians are ready to visit your home, inspect your fixture, and give you a detailed assessment.
This visit is completely free, with absolutely no obligation on your part to buy anything.

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 Tower City, 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.
