A dull or chipped tub in Wilsonville 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.
Maybe your old tub looks like it survived a small war. Scratchy surfaces and faded colors can really ruin your morning shower vibe. Fortunately, you do not have to spend a fortune on a dusty demolition project to fix this eyesore.
Instead of ripping out your plumbing, you can opt for a brilliant restorative process. Our local crew travels right to your home to spray a durable new high-gloss coating over your existing basin. This clever makeover saves you thousands of dollars while delivering a sparkling clean look that feels brand new under your feet.
By choosing this smart update, you avoid the mess of tearing down walls. Your wallet will thank you because the entire process costs a fraction of a full remodel. Plus, you get to use your beautiful, refreshed shower area in just a couple of days.
Honestly, many homeowners think that once a cast iron or acrylic basin gets stained, it is toast. That is a big misconception because the underlying structure is usually still perfectly solid. Our specialized team specializes in stripping away old, failing layers to apply a fresh, resilient synthetic finish.
To start, we carefully clean the area with industrial-strength prep agents to remove soap scum and body oils. Then, we repair any deep chips or unsightly rust spots with waterproof fillers. After that, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue for the liquid porcelain-like topcoat.
This method ensures the new glaze sticks forever without peeling. If you want a bright white shine or a modern biscuit tone, we can customize the color to match your decor. You end up with a smooth, non-porous finish that resists mold and wipes clean with zero effort.
Let us look at the alternative of traditional replacement. First, you have to hire a plumber to disconnect the old fixture. Next, a contractor usually has to break your beautiful wall tiles just to wiggle the heavy beast out of its alcove.
This chaotic mess often leads to unexpected water damage discoveries behind the drywall. Suddenly, a simple weekend upgrade turns into a multi-week construction headache. By choosing our topical restoration service instead, you bypass all of that stress and keep your sanity intact.
You might wonder how long this fresh finish will actually last. When you take care of it properly, your glossy new surface can easily look incredible for over a decade. The secret lies in using mild, non-abrasive cleaners instead of harsh bleaching powders.
We always teach our clients the best maintenance tricks to protect their investment. Since we apply commercial-grade chemical compounds, the bond stays incredibly tough against daily hot water use. It is an easy way to extend the life of your original bathroom fixtures without breaking the bank.

Our dedicated crew loves working right here in our quiet corner of the state. We service the beautiful, historic neighborhood of Wilsonville, Connecticut, where many homes feature gorgeous vintage fixtures that are worth preserving. Keeping these classic pieces alive adds immense character to your property.
With a local population of 9,458 residents, we treat every single customer like our close neighbor. Many families here enjoy a comfortable median household income, but nobody likes throwing hard-earned money away on overpriced construction. We are proud to serve homes across the local ZIP codes by offering affordable, top-tier craftsmanship.
Because we live and work nearby, we can easily drive out to your property for an on-site evaluation. We understand the unique plumbing quirks of older New England homes. You can trust our friendly team to treat your space with the utmost respect and cleanliness.
First, we protect your bathroom floor and surrounding walls with heavy-duty drop cloths. We also set up a powerful exhaust fan system to vent any chemical odors safely out the window. This step keeps your indoor air clean and fresh while we work our magic.
Second, we carefully etch the old surface to create a microscopic texture that the new glaze can grab onto. This step is critical because without proper etching, the new coat will eventually bubble and peel. We never skip these tedious preparation steps because quality is our top priority.
Finally, we use a professional HVLP spray gun to apply multiple layers of our high-tech coating. This technique creates a perfectly level, mirror-like gloss that looks identical to brand-new factory porcelain. Once it cures, we perform a final inspection to ensure every inch looks absolutely flawless.
Getting ready for our visit is incredibly simple and stress-free. All we ask is that you remove all shampoo bottles, soaps, and shower curtains before we arrive. It also helps if you fix any leaky faucets beforehand so water does not drip on the fresh glaze while it cures.
We handle all the heavy lifting, cleaning, and chemical applications ourselves. You can simply sit back, relax, and watch your dingy bathroom transform into a bright oasis. Our streamlined process ensures minimal disruption to your busy daily routine.
Besides looking gorgeous, your renewed surface will be much more hygienic. Old, worn-out acrylic and cast iron tend to develop microscopic pores where bacteria and mildew love to hide. Our fresh seal creates an impenetrable barrier that keeps germ accumulation at bay.
On top of that, we can easily integrate a slip-resistant texture into the bottom of the basin during the spraying process. This optional feature provides extra peace of mind for kids and elderly family members. You get a beautiful upgrade that looks fantastic and keeps your loved ones safe.
Why spend another day staring at a dull, stained, or outdated wash basin? Our friendly team is ready to restore the original shine and beauty of your bathroom fixtures. We make the entire process easy, clean, and highly affordable for your family budget.
We invite you to reach out to us today to request your completely free, no-obligation service estimate. We will visit your home, inspect your current setup, and give you an honest, upfront price. Let us help you fall in love with your bathroom all over again!
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 Wilsonville, 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.
