A dull or chipped tub in Westchester 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.
Actually, fixing your old stained basin right now saves you thousands over full replacement. Surprisingly, our local team brings back that fresh factory sheen in just one day. So you should grab a free estimate today to transform your bathroom without breaking your bank account.
To start off, ripping out a heavy cast iron tub creates a massive chaotic mess inside your home. Honest to goodness, the dust goes everywhere and stays in your air for weeks... Besides that, hiring plumbers and tile crew guys costs an absolute fortune these days. Refinishing that tired center piece keeps your cash safe in your wallet where it belongs.
Moving on to the actual work, we apply a fresh super hard coating directly over your worn surface. After we prep the area, the new glossy topcoat sticks real tight to the old porcelain foundation. Suddenly, those ugly rusty patches and dark yellow stains vanish completely from your sight. You get a squeaky clean look that shines bright just like the day it was first installed!
Now, let us talk about the huge amount of time you save with this smart modern approach. Completely remodeling a full home restroom often takes several long stressful weeks of endless banging and loud noise. Conversely, our fast topcoating procedure takes only a few short hours from start to finish. That means you can take a warm relaxing soak in your cozy upgraded tub by tomorrow night!
First off, we scrub the old surface using strong specialized industrial cleansers to remove grease and soap scum residue. Actually, if any hidden oils stay behind, the new glossy finish will not stick proper to the tub floor. We make sure every single square inch gets completely cleaned and sanded down down to the base material.
Next up, we fix all those annoying deep chips and spiderweb cracks that have been bugging you for years. By using strong waterproof filler compounds, we smooth out every rough spot until the bottom feels like glass again. Furthermore, this important repair phase stops dangerous hidden water leaks from rotting out your wooden subfloors beneath the unit. It protects your house structure long term!
After that step is done, we lay down high bond primer layers followed by multiple thick sprays of high tech acrylic resin finish. Specifically, this tough liquid material bonds on a molecular level to form a super durable protective shield. As a big bonus, the final surface resists harsh daily scratching and prevents future ugly mold build up. You will love how ridiculously easy it is to wipe down during weekend chores!
To help you see the bigger picture, we put together a simple breakdown comparing your main remodeling choices. Frankly, seeing the numbers side by side helps clear up any confusion about where your hard earned money goes.
| Service Type | Average Cost | Project Time | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Fixture Tear Out | Very High | 1 to 2 Weeks | Extreme Dust And Noise |
| Plastic Acrylic Shell Insert | Medium High | 1 to 2 Days | Moderate Risk Of Trapped Water |
| Professional Surface Spray Coating | Budget Friendly | 4 to 6 Hours | Zero Destruction And Minimal Odor |
Looking at the plain numbers above, restoring your original fixture clear as day comes out on top for value. Indeed, saving money while getting a surface that looks totally brand new is a huge win for any practical house owner. Plus, you avoid the endless nightmare of dusty heavy construction destroying your peaceful daily living routine.
Living right here in New London County means dealing with unique old plumbing setups and hard water mineral issues. Naturally, high mineral content in our local water supply leaves stubborn brown spots and white scale buildup over time. Our protective glossy spray layers resist those tough mineral deposits way better than aging chalky original finishes do. Your basin stays bright with way less scrub effort!
Looking at our lovely community of roughly 16,068 hardworking residents, keeping home values high matters to everyone around town. Considering that the local median household income sits right around $108,125, making wise financial choices on home repairs is just good sense. Whether your house falls in the 06498 zip code area or neighboring streets, spending less cash to get luxury looks is extremely smart!
On top of that, many classic homes around our region feature classic vintage porcelain models that were built super tough decades ago. Honestly, those heavy ancient original units retain heat way better than modern cheap plastic tubs sold at big box stores! Preserving that solid heavy build while making the surface look pristine gives you the absolute best of both worlds. You keep classic quality with fresh contemporary style!
Right off the bat, a lot of folks wonder if the new finish will look fake or sprayed on like cheap paint. Well, the truth is that high grade synthetic porcelain liquid levels itself out flat to create a deep glassy shine. People who come over to visit your house will honestly think you bought a brand new fixture straight from a fancy design showroom! The smooth sheen feels totally slick and high end under your fingertips.
Furthermore, you might be curious about how long this fresh chemical coating is going to last you during normal daily use. Whenever you take proper care of the surface and avoid using harsh abrasive scratchy cleansers, the new finish lasts ten to fifteen years easily... That offers an amazing return on investment for your pocketbook! Just use mild liquid soap with a soft dish towel to keep it sparkling clean every week.
Also, you might worry about strong chemical smells floating around your bedrooms while we do the work. Fortunately, our team uses powerful exhaust fans with long flexible hoses to vent all lingering chemical fumes directly out your nearest window. That means your indoor air stays fresh and breathable while we transform your space. You can sit comfortably in your living room without breathing nasty solvent vapors!

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 Westchester, 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.

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.
