A dull or chipped tub in Trevett 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.
Maybe you cringe every single time you step into your bathroom to wash up. This happens because years of hard scrubbing have completely worn down that shiny original factory finish. Fortunately, our local crew visits your home to spray a fresh, incredibly durable acrylic coating over your existing cast iron or steel wash basin. By doing this, we save you from the massive headache of a full demolition project.
Actually, we can make that stained surface look brand new in just a few hours. This means you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on plumbing bills. Which is why so many homeowners in our beautiful coastal community choose this smart alternative. If you want to see how affordable this quick transformation is, you can easily request a free estimate from us today.
To start with, taking a sledgehammer to a heavy cast iron fixture often destroys your bathroom floors and wall tiles. Because of that chaos, a simple weekend upgrade quickly turns into a multi-week construction disaster. On top of that mess, old plumbing pipes frequently break during the removal process. You then end up paying extra for emergency pipe repairs that you never budgeted for in the first place.
Instead of dealing with that stress, our team prepares the existing surface with a specialized acid etch compound. This critical step ensures that the new synthetic enamel bonds permanently to the old porcelain. As a result, you get a gorgeous, glossy wash area without any of the dusty demolition debris. We honestly love saving people from the absolute chaos of traditional remodeling work.
Besides saving your sanity, this dust-free process protects your indoor air quality from hazardous mold spores hidden behind old walls. To show you how the two methods stack up, we created a handy comparison table below.
| Project Factor | Complete Replacement | Our Professional Refinishing |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very expensive due to labor | Highly budget-friendly |
| Time to Complete | Usually three to seven days | Finished in about four to six hours |
| Mess and Dust | Extreme amount of drywall debris | Virtually zero mess left behind |
| Life Expectancy | Long-term but high upfront cost | Lasts ten to fifteen years with care |
Now, you might wonder how a sprayed-on coating actually stays stuck to a slick surface without peeling off. To achieve this, we use a high-tech molecular bonding agent that acts like an ultra-strong glue. This industrial chemical creates a solid bridge between the old worn-out porcelain and our new high-gloss topcoat. Consequently, the finished surface resists hot water, daily soap oils, and heavy scrubbing for many years to come.
Then, we apply several thin layers of an advanced acrylic urethane using a professional HVLP spray gun. This specialized spraying system prevents any drips or uneven runs from ruining the final look. Therefore, your updated basin receives a perfectly uniform, glass-like finish that feels incredibly smooth to the touch. You will finally enjoy a deep, relaxing soak without feeling grossed out by old stains.
Naturally, we take safety very seriously during this chemical spraying process. For this reason, we set up heavy-duty exhaust fans with flexible ductwork to pull all fumes directly out of your house. This setup keeps your living space smelling clean and safe while we do our magic. We always treat your home with the exact same respect we show to our own families.
For context, we proudly serve the wonderful residents of Lincoln County with our mobile restoration services. This scenic area, particularly around the quiet peninsula of Trevett, contains many historic homes with gorgeous character but outdated plumbing fixtures. Since our local population sits around 3,120 friendly folks, we really enjoy helping our neighbors preserve their classic homes. Many properties in the 04571 ZIP code area feature those deep, vintage soaking basins that are nearly impossible to replace without tearing down entire walls.
With a local median household income that reflects hard-working families, saving money on home repairs is always a top priority here. Our restoration process offers a premium look of comfort and luxury without the shocking price tag of a showroom remodel. This budget-friendly solution allows you to allocate your hard-earned funds toward other important home maintenance tasks. We make it simple to update your property value with minimal financial strain.
Furthermore, our crew understands the unique coastal climate challenges of Maine, where damp air can make bathroom renovations tricky. Because we are local, we know exactly how to prep surfaces to handle seasonal temperature swings. This local knowledge guarantees that your new glossy topcoat won't crack when the winter chill sets in. You can trust our hands-on experience to deliver a durable finish that stands up to local conditions.
To keep that brilliant shine looking awesome, you must avoid harsh abrasive cleansers like bleach or gritty scrubbing powders. Cleaners with rough particles will microscopicly scratch the new urethane and eventually dull the beautiful luster. Instead, you should use mild dish soap or a gentle foaming bathroom spray with a soft microfiber cloth. This simple cleaning routine preserves the factory-like sheen for over a decade.
Additionally, you must never leave wet bath mats sitting on the bottom of the basin after your shower. Trapped moisture underneath suction cups can weaken the bond of the coating over time. By simply hanging the mat up to dry, you ensure the finish remains completely sealed and waterproof. These easy habits protect your investment and keep the bathroom looking pristine.
Perhaps the best part of our service is how incredibly fast we finish the entire job. While a contractor doing a full remodel might leave you without a working shower for a week, we get you back in action quickly. In fact, you can usually start using your beautiful, shiny basin again just twenty-four hours after we pack up our tools. This rapid turnaround time means minimal disruption to your busy daily routine.
To start this exciting upgrade, you just need to reach out to us for a quick consultation. We will happily look at your current fixture, explain the color options, and give you an honest assessment. After that, we provide a detailed, no-obligation written estimate so you know the exact price beforehand. There are never any hidden fees or surprise upcharges with our honest local business.
So, why keep staring at that ugly, chipped, and hard-to-clean surface every single morning? Let our friendly, skilled team roll up their sleeves and restore the bright, sparkling beauty of your wash basin. We are ready to drive out to your home, answer all your questions, and deliver a stunning finish you will love showing off. Contact us right now to request your completely free project quote!
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 Trevett, 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.
