A dull or chipped tub in Trenton 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.
You probably stare at that stained, chipped, or outdated basin every morning while brushing your teeth. It is easy to feel frustrated when your bathroom looks like it came straight out of a decade that should have stayed forgotten.
Instead of tearing everything apart and spending your entire life savings on a massive renovation, you have a much smarter path forward. You can simply give your existing unit a brand-new lease on life with our specialized surface restoration services.
Many homeowners in Gibson County assume that a dingy tub requires a complete demo job. However, ripping out heavy cast iron or stubborn steel is a nightmare that creates weeks of dust and debris.
Choosing to renew the finish lets you save thousands of dollars while avoiding the absolute headache of a full bathroom gut. You keep the solid structure you already have while gaining a smooth, glossy, and durable finish that feels brand new.
First, we carefully prepare the surface by removing old caulk and scrubbing away years of grime and mineral deposits. This deep cleaning is vital because it ensures the new bonding agent sticks perfectly to the underlying material.
After the cleaning, we repair any cracks, chips, or rust spots that have been hiding beneath the surface. This meticulous patching work guarantees that your final result looks solid and uniform rather than patched together.
Finally, we apply a high-tech synthetic coating that mimics the shiny look of brand-new porcelain. This layer provides a protective shield that makes your daily cleanup much faster and keeps your fixture looking beautiful for years.
If you live in the 38382 ZIP code, you know that finding reliable help can sometimes feel like a chore. Serving a community of 4,091 neighbors means we take pride in doing honest work for the people around us.
Even with a median household income of $31,645, making your house feel like a sanctuary is important for your personal well-being. Keeping your living space updated should not require a fortune, and we believe in providing honest solutions for every budget.
Initially, our team arrives at your home to inspect the current condition of your bathroom fixture. We look for structural integrity and check if there are any deep underlying issues that might need extra attention.
Following the inspection, we explain exactly how the process will go so you never feel out of the loop. Transparency is important, and we want you to know exactly what you are paying for when we arrive.
Does it smell bad during the application process? We use professional ventilation systems to move air out of your home while we spray the new finish.
How long does the material last once it is applied? With basic care, this durable upgrade can easily last for many years without peeling or yellowing.
Can I change the color of my old yellowed basin? Absolutely, most people choose a crisp, clean white that makes the whole room feel much brighter and larger than before.
Some folks try those cheap plastic covers that glue over the existing tub. Unfortunately, those often trap moisture between the liner and the original tub, which leads to hidden rot and nasty mildew issues.
Our approach creates a permanent bond directly to the surface of your fixture. You get a seamless result that feels solid under your feet and will not shift, wobble, or grow fuzzy mold in hidden corners.

Once the work is done, you want to keep that shine looking perfect for as long as possible. You should avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool pads that might scratch the new finish over time.
Instead, stick to mild, non-abrasive liquid cleaners and a soft cloth or sponge. This simple habit keeps the surface smooth and prevents soap scum from building up in the future.

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 Trenton, 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.
