| Project Factor | Full Replacement Method | Our Professional Surface Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very high (often thousands for plumbing and tile) | Extremely budget-friendly |
| Time to Complete | One to two weeks of loud construction | Finished in just a few hours |
| Mess and Dust | Major drywall debris and plaster dust everywhere | Virtually zero mess left behind |
| Durability | Depends on the cheap quality of the new tub | Adds up to 10 to 15 years of extra life |
To start, we meticulously clean the old surface using specialized industrial cleaners to remove every trace of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This critical preparation step ensures that our new bonding agents will fuse perfectly to the original material. If we find any deep chips or rust spots, we patch them carefully with waterproof fillers.
Next, we apply a proprietary chemical agent that molecularly bonds the old porcelain to our state-of-the-art topcoat. We then spray multiple layers of an advanced aliphatic acrylic polyurethane finish using high-precision equipment. This technique creates an incredibly smooth, non-porous barrier that resists impact and looks absolutely gorgeous.
After the final coat cures, we buff the surface to a brilliant luster that feels wonderfully smooth to the touch. This dense layer makes future cleaning incredibly easy because grime simply cannot stick to it. You will finally say goodbye to harsh scrubbing brushes and toxic chemical cleaners forever.
Naturally, you might worry about strong odors during the application process, but we have a fantastic solution for that. We set up heavy-duty exhaust fans and flexible ductwork to pull all fumes directly out of your bathroom window. This setup keeps your indoor air clean and comfortable while we perform our magic.
Once we pack up our gear, any remaining faint scent dissipates very quickly over the next few hours. You will be able to enjoy your home in peace without any lingering chemical odors. Our clients always appreciate this extra step we take to ensure their absolute safety and peace of mind.
To keep your restored fixture looking spectacular for years to come, you simply need to follow a few basic care guidelines. Avoid using abrasive powder cleansers or steel wool pads, which can dull the beautiful glossy finish over time. Instead, stick to mild liquid dish soaps or gentle spray cleaners and a soft microfiber cloth.
Additionally, try not to leave wet bottles of shampoo or heavy metal cans sitting directly on the rim of the basin. Using a hanging shower caddy is a great way to prevent water from pooling underneath plastic bottles. These simple habits will easily extend the lifespan of your beautiful finish for well over a decade.
Perhaps you are currently living with an embarrassing 1970s avocado green, mustard yellow, or dusty pink bathroom fixture. Replacing those eyesores usually requires destroying your gorgeous vintage wall tile, which can break your heart and your budget. Our clever resurfacing technique lets you change that outdated color to a clean, modern bright white instantly.
This allows you to preserve your home's historic charm while enjoying a bright, clean, and airy aesthetic. We can also match custom off-white shades if you want a softer look that complements your existing color scheme. One written quote, no pressure, and the work only starts when you say so.
Imagine walking into your bathroom tomorrow morning and seeing a sparkling white oasis instead of a dingy, stained relic. It completely changes how you feel about your home and adds real value to your property. It is truly amazing how much a clean, bright bathing area can elevate your daily mood.

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 Arlington, 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.
