A dull or chipped tub in Wilson-Conococheague 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.

Let us help you fall in love with your washroom all over again without breaking the bank.
Many homeowners assume that buying a brand-new tub is the easiest way to solve their cosmetic bathroom woes. However, they quickly realize that the actual purchase price of a new fixture is only a tiny fraction of the real cost. Removing an old heavy cast iron or steel basin usually requires ripping out tiles, disturbing the plumbing, and widening the doorway just to get the old unit out of the house.
Which means a simple weekend project quickly spirals into a multi-week construction headache with dusty floors and useless bathrooms. On top of that, you will have to pay expensive disposal fees to dump the old heavy junk into a local landfill. This is why our specialized surface restoration service makes so much more sense for busy families who value their sanity.
By choosing to restore what you already have, you completely bypass the chaotic mess of sledgehammers and drywall dust. Our process keeps your original fixture right where it belongs while making it look like it just came off the showroom floor. You get to keep your beautiful original tiles intact and avoid hiring expensive plumbers to reroute old pipes.
To help you understand how we achieve these glassy, ultra-smooth results, we want to walk you through our detailed, step-by-step process. First, we meticulously clean the existing area with specialized industrial prep agents to strip away decades of soap scum, hard water minerals, and deep-seated oils. This critical prep step ensures that our advanced bonding agents can fuse perfectly with the original porcelain or fiberglass base.
Next, we carefully repair any unsightly chips, deep scratches, or rusty spots using high-performance waterproof fillers. Once the surface is completely level and smooth, we apply a proprietary molecular primer that acts like a super-strong anchor for the topcoat. Finally, we spray multiple layers of a specialized high-gloss acrylic coating that cures into an incredibly durable, shiny defensive shell.
This complex procedure requires professional-grade ventilation equipment and a very steady hand to prevent runs or uneven patches. When we finish, the final result is a non-porous barrier that resists dirt and looks incredibly beautiful. You will love how easy it is to wipe clean with just a mild soap and a soft sponge.
To help you make the best decision for your household budget, we put together a simple comparison table highlighting the key differences between our surface restoration service and a full-scale remodel.
| Factor to Consider | Our Surface Restoration Service | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | Usually finished in just 4 to 8 hours | Can drag on for 1 to 2 weeks |
| Total Cost Involved | Very affordable, fractional cost | Extremely expensive plumbing and tile work |
| Mess and Cleanup | Minimal dust, completely contained area | Heavy construction debris and drywall dust |
| Lifespan of Surface | Lasts 10 to 15 years with proper care | Long-lasting but very high initial investment |
As you can see, choosing to restore your existing fixture offers an unbeatable balance of speed, affordability, and stunning visual appeal. This lets you spend your hard-earned money on other important home improvement projects or family vacations. We love helping local homeowners maximize their property value without wasting resources.
Living in Washington County means dealing with unique local water conditions that can take a heavy toll on our plumbing fixtures over time.

We treat your home with the exact same respect we would show to our own families.
Once we finish our magic, we want your gorgeous new finish to last for many years to come. The absolute golden rule of maintaining a restored fixture is to completely ban abrasive cleaning powders and harsh scrub pads from your bathroom. These rough materials will slowly scratch the shiny protective topcoat, making it lose its brilliant luster and catch dirt more easily.
Instead, we highly recommend using gentle liquid dish soaps, mild spray cleaners, or natural vinegar mixtures with a soft microfiber cloth. This simple routine easily removes daily grime without harming the beautiful non-porous outer shell. On top of that, make sure you repair any leaky faucets quickly so constant water droplets do not wear down the drain area prematurely.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet bath mats or heavy shampoo bottles sitting directly on the floor of the basin for long periods. Letting the surface dry completely between uses prevents moisture from getting trapped and ensures the bond remains rock-solid. By following these easy guidelines, your restored fixture will continue to look absolutely spectacular year after year.

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 Wilson-Conococheague, 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.
