A dull or chipped tub in Westwood 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.
Do you look at your old stained tub and feel completely sad? Thankfully, you can revive that dull surface without spending a fortune on a full tear out. This local service transforms your bathroom in Allegheny County with zero demolition mess.
Instead of ripping out heavy cast iron, a trained crew sprays a fresh industrial coating right over the existing structure. That means you save thousands of dollars while getting a brand new look in your home. Read on to find out how this amazing process works for local residents.
Renovating a bathroom usually costs a small fortune because plumbers charge high hourly rates for pipe removal. Fortunately, updating your washing basin costs a fraction of a total gut job. This budget friendly option leaves extra money in your wallet for other home projects.
By keeping your original fixture in place, you avoid expensive disposal fees and tile repairs. Consequently, your wallet stays happy while your bathroom gets the glow up it desperately deserves.
Demolition kicks up tons of dust that settles on every single surface in your house. Luckily, our crews finish the whole job in just a few hours without knocking down walls. This lets you enjoy your newly updated space without living in a noisy construction zone for weeks.
Nobody wants workers tracking mud through their halls for days on end. Therefore, a quick spray application keeps your daily routine completely uninterrupted and stress free.
Workers start by scrubbing away years of soap scum and hard water deposits using heavy duty chemical solvents. Then they etch the porcelain to make sure the primer bonds tightly to the old material. This careful prep work prevents peeling later on.
If you skip this crucial step, the new finish will bubble up within a few months. That is why experienced local contractors never rush the cleaning phase.
Next comes the actual application of advanced acrylic urethane coatings using a specialized HVLP sprayer. This creates a smooth and glossy shield that looks just like brand new porcelain. You get a gorgeous finish that brings true coziness to your daily bathing routine.
The specialized resins cure rapidly under proper ventilation to form a rock solid barrier against moisture. This lets you use your upgraded basin sooner than you ever imagined possible.
| Renovation Method | Average Cost | Time Required | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | High | One to Two Weeks | Extreme |
| Acrylic Liner Insert | Medium | Several Days | Moderate |
| Professional Refinishing | Low | One Day | Minimal |

Years of leaky faucets often leave ugly orange rust rings that refuse to budge no matter how much bleach you use. Fortunately, the spraying process completely seals away those embarrassing blemishes underneath a pristine white layer. Your tub will look like it just rolled off the factory floor.
Deep scratches also harbor mold and bacteria that resist standard household cleaners. Filling those microscopic crevices stops grime in its tracks and keeps your family safe.
Dropping a heavy glass bottle on the edge usually leaves a sharp chip that ruins the whole aesthetic. Skilled technicians patch those ugly gouges seamlessly before applying the final topcoat over the entire basin. This restores the smooth texture you love to touch.
Rough surfaces can scratch your skin when you try to relax after a long workday. Smoothing everything out brings back that silky tactile pleasure you have been missing.
Harsh abrasive powders will scratch your brand new coating and dull that gorgeous shine way too quickly. Instead, switch to gentle dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth for your weekly wipe downs. This simple habit keeps your investment looking pristine for many years.
Avoiding bleach-heavy formulas prevents premature discoloration of the high tech resins. Your careful maintenance routine pays off with lasting beauty and durability.
Always place a rubber mat on the bottom if you have heavy pets jumping in and out of the washing area. Moreover, fix dripping faucets immediately to stop mineral deposits from eating away at the fresh seal. These proactive measures protect your newly revitalized surface from unnecessary wear.
Taking care of small issues early prevents the need for another service call down the road. That means more time enjoying your gorgeous bathroom instead of fixing problems.

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 Westwood, 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.
