All over Wayne County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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.

Actually, we can fix that whole mess for you in just a single afternoon without tearing up your bathroom walls.
Our team comes right to your home to handle this dirty work so you do not have to buy a costly new fixture.
This means you get a shiny, clean bathroom again without spending thousands of dollars on messy demolition work.
Honestly, you will save enough money to finally take that weekend trip you have been planning for months.
Now is the perfect time to give your bathroom a massive face-lift without the headache of a massive renovation project.
We provide free on-site estimates to help you figure out the best path forward for your home.
Why wait around and keep bathing in a stained basin when a simple call can solve everything?
Most folks do not realize that you can actually coat an old cast iron or steel tub with a brand-new, durable surface.
This specialized method involves applying high-performance coatings that bond directly to your existing fixture on a molecular level.
Which means your old, worn-out surface gets a fresh lease on life that looks identical to a brand-new porcelain installation.
First, we must meticulously prepare the old surface by removing every single trace of soap scum, body oils, and ancient mineral deposits.
If we do not clean it perfectly, the new coating will not stick right and might peel off later down the road.
Consequently, we spend a lot of time on this prep work because we refuse to cut corners on quality.
After that, we fix any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks with special fillers that dry super fast and super strong.
Then we spray on a proprietary bonding agent followed by several coats of a top-tier acrylic urethane finish.
As a result, your tub gets a brilliant, glossy shine that resists scratches and looks incredibly beautiful for years to come.
Think about the sheer chaos of hiring plumbers, tile guys, and drywall contractors just to swap out one single fixture.
That nightmare usually takes at least a week and leaves your house covered in a thick layer of plaster dust.
By choosing our on-site spraying service, you avoid all that drama and keep your sanity completely intact.
To help you compare the two main options, we put together a simple breakdown of what to expect:
| Factor | Full Replacement | On-Site Coating Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High (often $3,000+) | Extremely Budget-Friendly |
| Time to Complete | Up to 5 or 7 days of mess | Usually under 5 hours |
| Demolition Needed | Yes, walls and floors get damaged | Absolutely zero demolition |
On top of saving heaps of cash, you also get to keep your beautiful old antique fixtures that have real character.
Many older homes in our lovely corner of Northeastern Pennsylvania feature heavy duty cast iron tubs that retain heat incredibly well.
Restoring them preserves that classic craftsmanship while giving you the clean, hygienic surface you deserve.
We live and work right here in the beautiful area of Wayne County, where hard work and honest prices still mean something.
Our community of about fifty thousand residents deserves top-notch service from folks who actually care about the quality of their craftsmanship.
Whether you live in a historic home or a cozy cabin near the lake, we treat your property with absolute respect.
Because we know the local water quality around here can be tough on plumbing fixtures, we use extra-durable materials.
High mineral content in local well water often causes stubborn orange rust stains to form around your drain.
Our advanced protective coating resists these harsh minerals, which makes your weekly cleaning chores a total breeze.
This means you will spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemical cleaners that burn your eyes.
Instead, a quick wipe down with a mild liquid soap keeps that brilliant luster looking brand new.
It is all about making your daily life simpler while keeping more of your hard-earned money in your wallet.
You might worry about paint fumes drifting through your home while we do our spraying work.
To prevent this, we set up professional exhaust fans and heavy-duty plastic sealing to pull all odors right out the window.
By the time we pack up our tools, your home will smell fresh and look completely untouched.
We also mask off every single inch of your bathroom walls, floors, and vanity to prevent any overspray accidents.
Our technicians take pride in leaving your home cleaner than we found it, except for that gorgeous shiny tub, of course.
You will not have to spend your evening sweeping up plaster dust or wiping down sticky residue.
If you take care of it properly, this restored finish can easily last for up to fifteen years without fading.
Avoid using abrasive scouring powders or steel wool pads, as those will dull the beautiful glossy sheen over time.
Treat it like you would treat the paint job on a brand-new luxury car, and it will stay gorgeous forever.
We even offer a solid warranty on our work because we stand behind the skills of our local crew.
This peace of mind lets you relax, knowing that your investment is fully protected by real professionals.
We love seeing the shocked looks on our clients' faces when they see their finished bathroom for the first time.
Getting started does not require you to fill out endless online forms or deal with pushy sales representatives.
We believe in straightforward, friendly service, starting with a completely free estimate right at your doorstep.
Which means we will inspect your fixture, explain the process face-to-face, and give you a fair price on the spot.
Our schedules fill up pretty quickly, especially during the busy home improvement seasons when everyone wants their house looking sharp.
However, we always try our best to squeeze in our local neighbors who need their bathrooms ready for upcoming family visits.

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.
