A dull or chipped tub in Tuscarora 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.

Many homeowners confuse this specialized restoration process with simple DIY spray paints that you buy at the local hardware store.
However, those cheap retail kits usually peel within a few months because they lack the industrial-grade bonding agents required for wet environments.
Our professional method involves a meticulous multi-step system that fuses a new, rock-hard acrylic coating to your original fixture.
First, we thoroughly clean the area using specialized acid-free cleaners to remove decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits.
After that, we carefully repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots with a heavy-duty waterproof filler.
This crucial preparation work ensures the final finish looks absolutely flawless and stays bonded for years to come.
Next, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding agent that acts like chemical Velcro between the old surface and the new topcoat.
Then, we spray several coats of a premium aliphatic acrylic polyurethane using professional high-volume, low-pressure equipment.
This advanced material cures into an incredibly tough, high-gloss shell that resists scratches, impacts, and daily wear.
To help you make the best decision for your home, let us look at the actual breakdown of a traditional bathroom remodel.
Demolishing an old cast iron or steel basin often requires cutting it into pieces with a sawzall, which creates deafening noise and toxic dust.
On top of that, you usually have to replace the surrounding wall tiles, subflooring, and plumbing valves during the process.
This domino effect can easily turn a simple weekend project into a multi-week nightmare that drains your bank account.
You also have to deal with different subcontractors walking through your home, leaving dirt and debris everywhere they go.
Our clean, self-contained restoration process avoids all of this chaos, keeping your home peaceful and your wallet happy.
| Project Factors | Professional Restoration | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, saving up to 80% | Extremely expensive with hidden fees |
| Time to Complete | Usually finished in 4 to 6 hours | Can take 3 to 10 days of messy work |
| Durability | Lasts 10 to 15 years with proper care | Long-lasting but requires construction |
| Mess & Dust | Minimal, fully contained workspace | High amount of drywall dust and debris |
Choosing this modern restoration path allows you to customize the look of your bathroom without paying designer prices.
You can easily switch from an outdated 1970s avocado green or dusty rose to a clean, modern arctic white.
This simple change instantly brightens up the entire room, making the space feel much larger and more inviting.
Another fantastic benefit is how incredibly easy the newly coated surface is to keep clean and sanitary.
Because the new acrylic layer is completely non-porous, mold, mildew, and dirt have nowhere to hide or grip onto.
Which means you can finally throw away those harsh chemical scrubbers and simply wipe down the surface with a mild soap.

When you work with us, you are supporting a dedicated business that truly cares about the beauty and longevity of our community.
When our friendly technician arrives at your home, they will first set up a heavy-duty ventilation system to safely exhaust any fumes outdoors.
We take great pride in protecting your property, so we carefully mask off all surrounding walls, floors, and fixtures with protective paper.
This meticulous setup guarantees that the specialized spray mist only lands exactly where it is supposed to go.
Once the workspace is fully secured, we perform the deep cleaning and etching process to prepare the target surface.
We then repair any unsightly blemishes, apply the molecular primer, and spray the glossy polyurethane topcoats with absolute precision.
After a final inspection, we pack up our gear, clean up the work area, and leave your bathroom looking completely transformed.
You will need to let the new surface cure completely for about 24 hours before you turn on the water faucet.
Once that brief waiting period is over, your gorgeous, refreshed basin is fully ready for a warm, relaxing soak.
To keep it looking spectacular, we always provide you with a detailed care guide filled with simple tips and recommended cleaning products.
Taking care of your newly coated surface is remarkably simple and requires very little effort on your part.
You should always avoid using abrasive scrubbing pads, steel wool, or harsh powdery cleansers that can scratch the glossy acrylic layer.
Instead, we recommend using a soft sponge or a microfiber cloth paired with a gentle, ammonia-free liquid cleaner.
It is also a wise idea to fix any leaky faucets promptly, as constant dripping water can eventually wear down the finish over time.
Additionally, try to avoid leaving wet bath mats, shampoo bottles, or heavy metal cans sitting directly on the surface for extended periods.
By following these basic guidelines, you can easily keep your refreshed fixture looking sparkling new for over a decade.
We stand firmly behind the quality of our craftsmanship, which is why we offer an excellent warranty on our work.

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 Tuscarora, 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.
