A dull or chipped tub in Tunbridge 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.
Your old tub looks pretty rough these days. Between the ugly stains and that scratchy surface, taking a bath feels more like a chore than a relaxing escape. Surface restoration for your bathroom fixtures solves this headache without the massive mess of a full remodel.
Choosing this smart update saves you thousands of dollars compared to buying a brand new basin. Since we apply a high-tech liquid acrylic coating directly over your existing cast iron or steel setup, you get a glossy finish that looks brand new. This means you can keep using your beloved original layout while upgrading the shine and cleanliness of the room.
Our friendly local crew travels right to your home in Orange County to handle the entire process safely and quickly. By inviting us over for a look, you can grab a free written estimate to see how affordable this transformation really is. We love helping homeowners fall in love with their washing spaces all over again...
Demolition always creates a massive mountain of dusty plaster and broken tiles. If you decide to tear out the old tub, you usually end up breaking the surrounding wall board and plumbing lines too. This unfortunate chain reaction turns a simple weekend project into a multi-week financial nightmare.
On top of that, modern replacement tubs often feel flimsy and cheap compared to heavy vintage models. Keeping your solid original structure is almost always the smarter path. Our specialized process bonds a gorgeous, durable new layer right on top of the old porcelain.
This clever technique seals up dangerous chips where mold loves to hide. Which means your family gets a much cleaner, safer surface for daily scrubbing. Here is a quick breakdown of how these two options compare for your home:
| Project Factor | Full Replacement Chaos | Professional Surface Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Total Project Cost | Very high due to plumbing and tile repair | Extremely budget-friendly and predictable |
| Time to Complete | Often takes a week or more of messy work | Finished and ready in just a day or two |
| Durability Level | Depends on cheap modern plastics | Hard acrylic glaze matches original strength |
First, we clean the entire basin with heavy-duty industrial cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures the new materials stick perfectly without peeling later. Any rust spots or deep dings get filled and sanded flat so the area is completely smooth.
After prepping the area, we mask off your walls, floors, and vanity with protective paper to keep your home pristine. Then we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like molecular glue between the old enamel and the fresh coating. Finally, we spray multiple layers of premium topcoat using specialized ventilation equipment to keep odors out of your living space.
Once the product cures, you are left with a glittering, non-porous shield that resists stains and shines like glass. This tough new layer stands up to daily scrubbing and warm bubbly water for years to come. You will marvel at how much brighter the whole room feels after we pack up our gear.
Maybe your home still sports one of those wild avocado green or dusty pink basins from the seventies. While those retro shades were cool back then, they definitely make your home feel dated and dark today. Fortunately, our premium coatings can change that old color to a crisp, clean modern white.
This color shift instantly makes small bathrooms feel twice as large and airy. It also boosts your property value if you ever decide to sell down the road. Buyers love seeing sparkling clean bathrooms that do not require immediate renovation work.
Caring for your newly glazed basin is actually much easier than scrubbing old, porous porcelain. You simply wipe it down with a soft sponge and mild dish soap to keep it looking brand new. Harsh abrasive powders and bleach are no longer necessary because dirt cannot stick to the sealed surface.
This easy maintenance saves you hours of back-breaking cleaning labor every single month. It also keeps harsh chemical fumes out of your home environment. Your back and your lungs will definitely thank you for making this smart upgrade.

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 Tunbridge, 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.
