A dull or chipped tub in Auburn 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.
You wake up every single morning hoping for a fresh start but that ugly, stained basin in your washroom instantly ruins your mood. Actually, those dark ring marks and tiny scratches do not mean you need to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project. Fortunately, we can spray a durable new glossy coating right over your existing fixture to make it look brand new by tomorrow.
This budget-friendly magic trick saves you from the absolute nightmare of hiring plumbers who will tear up your drywall. By choosing to restore the surface instead of replacing the whole unit, you avoid weeks of dust and loud hammering. Now is the perfect time to give your bathroom a clean, shiny upgrade without breaking your bank account.
Our local crew loves helping folks fall in love with their homes again because nobody should have to bathe in a dingy, peeling basin. Since you deserve a beautiful space to relax, we bring all the professional gear directly to your doorstep. You will get a gorgeous, glassy finish that feels incredibly smooth and looks absolutely stellar.
Maybe you are wondering how we actually pull off this amazing transformation without carrying a heavy cast iron tub out of your house. To start, we strip away all the old, failing paint and stubborn soap scum using specialized industrial cleaners. This preparation step ensures the new materials will bond perfectly to the original porcelain or fiberglass base.
After we clean the area thoroughly, we repair any deep chips or ugly rust spots with a heavy-duty waterproof filler. Consequently, the final surface looks completely flat and flawless, just like it did the day it left the factory. We then apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old layer and our fresh coating.
Finally, we spray several thin, even layers of a high-tech acrylic polymer coating that cures into an incredibly tough shield. This means you get a sparkling, glossy finish that resists scratches and looks beautiful for many years to come. Plus, our skilled technicians handle the entire process in just a single afternoon, keeping your busy life on track.

If you think replacing your old bath fixture is simple, you might want to think again because it is usually a massive trap.

This means you have to pay massive fees for professional plumbers, carpenters, and tile setters just to get the new unit installed. On top of that, removing the old unit often damages your gorgeous wall tiles, which are nearly impossible to match.

Years of dripping faucets and harsh mineral deposits can leave ugly rust trails and yellow stains that just will not scrub away. Fortunately, our advanced chemical cleaners break down those stubborn deposits without ruining the structural integrity of your fixture. This means we can completely erase decades of wear and tear, leaving a pristine surface behind.
Once we apply our shiny new finish, the non-porous surface prevents dirt, soap scum, and mold from taking root in the future.

You will finally stop wasting your Saturdays scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh, smelly chemicals.
Choosing to renew your old washing basin is not just a quick cosmetic fix because it actually extends the life of your fixture. Our high-grade coatings seal up microscopic cracks where water can seep in and cause dangerous structural rust or wood rot underneath. This protective barrier keeps your bathroom safe and dry, preventing incredibly expensive water damage repairs down the road.
To get the absolute most out of your newly finished surface, we always share simple maintenance tips that keep it glowing. For example, avoiding abrasive scrubbing powders and bleach will protect the brilliant luster of the glossy topcoat for many years. We take immense pride in our work, and we want your beautiful results to last as long as possible.
First, our friendly technician will arrive right on time with all the specialized tools and protective gear needed for the job. We start by carefully masking off your bathroom walls, floor, and vanity to protect your personal belongings from any overspray. This careful setup ensures that the only thing getting a new coat of paint is your target fixture.
Next, we set up a powerful ventilation system with a flexible exhaust hose running out the nearest window to pull fumes away. This smart setup keeps your indoor air clean and fresh, allowing you to relax in the other room while we work. We take safety very seriously, ensuring a comfortable environment for both your family and our hardworking crew.
Finally, we spray the high-gloss coatings with professional precision, building up a beautiful, durable finish that looks incredibly uniform. After we pack up our gear and clean up our workspace, we will show you how to care for your new masterpiece. In just twenty-four hours, the surface will be fully cured and ready for your first relaxing, warm bath.

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 Auburn, 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.
