To start off, you might wonder how we actually turn a dull, scratched surface into a glossy masterpiece. First, we clean the entire area with specialized solutions to strip away decades of soap scum, hard water deposits, and body oils. Consequently, the new coating bonds perfectly to the original material, preventing any future peeling. This meticulous prep work ensures that your investment stands the test of time.
After that step, we repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots that make your tub look ancient. Indeed, these blemishes disappear completely under our high-tech filling compounds before we even touch the sprayer. This attention to detail means your finished basin will feel completely smooth under your feet. You will finally say goodbye to those annoying rough patches that trap dirt.
Next, we apply a state-of-the-art bonding agent that acts like superglue for the new finish. Specifically, this chemical anchor fuses the old surface with our premium topcoat. Which means you get a rock-solid defense against daily wear and tear. Our process delivers a brilliant luster that rivals the look of a brand-new porcelain fixture.
| Project Factor | Our Professional Resurfacing | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very budget-friendly | Extremely expensive |
| Time to Complete | Finished in one day | Takes weeks of mess |
| Plumbing Changes | None required | Major pipe rerouting |
| Durability | Lasts for many years | Depends on new tub quality |
As you can see from the table, taking the restoration route saves you a massive amount of stress and money. Honestly, tearing out an old tub often reveals hidden water damage, mold, and outdated plumbing behind the drywall.

On top of that, you keep tons of heavy construction waste out of our local landfills. Because we reuse your high-quality original fixture, we protect the environment while saving you money.

By investing in your current fixtures, you keep more money for the things that truly matter to your family. We love offering a premium service that fits comfortably within a realistic budget.
To keep your sparkling surface looking incredible, you just need to follow a few easy care steps. First, always avoid abrasive cleaners like bleach, scouring powders, or rough scrubbing pads. Instead, use mild dish soap or gentle foaming cleansers with a soft microfiber cloth. This simple routine preserves the brilliant shine and prevents micro-scratches from dulling the finish.
Additionally, make sure you fix leaky faucets quickly to prevent standing water from wearing down the coating over time. Constant dripping can eventually erode even the toughest finishes, leading to premature dullness. By keeping your plumbing in check, you ensure your gorgeous basin stays bright and beautiful for a decade or more. A little bit of care goes a very long way in protecting your investment.
When our friendly technician arrives at your home, we start by carefully masking off your entire bathroom to protect your floors, walls, and vanity. We take cleanliness very seriously, treating your property with the utmost respect. This setup phase ensures that no overspray or dust settles on your personal belongings. We set up professional ventilation fans to draw any chemical odors directly outside through the nearest window.
Once the prep work is complete, we apply our specialized coatings using precision spray equipment. This professional tool ensures an incredibly even, factory-like finish without any brush marks or runs. You will watch your old, stained basin transform into a gleaming masterpiece right before your eyes. After we finish, we clean up our workspace thoroughly, leaving your bathroom spotless.
Finally, we explain the curing process so you know exactly when you can jump back in for a relaxing soak. Usually, you only need to wait about twenty-four to forty-eight hours before the surface is fully cured and ready for action. This quick turnaround means your life gets back to normal almost immediately. You will be amazed at how easy and painless the entire experience is.
Now that you know how simple and affordable this transformation can be, there is no reason to live with a dingy bathroom. We are ready to drive out to your home, assess your fixtures, and give you a detailed, honest quote. This cost-free evaluation gives you all the information you need to make the best decision for your home. We never use high-pressure sales tactics because we prefer to let our quality work speak for itself.
So, why wait to get the beautiful, clean bathroom you deserve? Go ahead and give us a shout to schedule your free estimate. We look forward to meeting you, hearing your ideas, and giving your old tub a spectacular second life!
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, 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.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
