A dull or chipped tub in Bardin 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 look at that stained, chipped porcelain basin every single morning and feel a tiny piece of your soul wither away. But did you know that you can actually restore that exact same surface to a brilliant, glossy shine without ripping out your walls? Our specialized team travels right to your home in Putnam County to perform this magical surface transformation at a fraction of replacement costs. If you want to save thousands of dollars and bypass the dusty nightmare of a full bathroom demolition, getting a free estimate from us today is your smartest move.
This budget-friendly cosmetic restoration process works wonders on tired, faded, or downright ugly bathroom fixtures. Instead of paying contractors to smash your old cast iron tub with a sledgehammer, we apply a high-tech liquid acrylic coating that bonds directly to the original structure. This means you get a fresh, sparkling bathroom centerpiece in less than a day. On top of that, your wallet stays happy because you avoid buying costly new plumbing fixtures and paying disposal fees.
Many homeowners worry that their worn-out surfaces are simply beyond saving. Actually, even deep scratches, ugly rust stains, and outdated 1970s colors vanish completely under our professional-grade bonding agents. Which means you can finally stop hiding your bathroom behind a thick shower curtain. By requesting a complimentary quote, you will see exactly how simple and affordable it is to upgrade your home.
To get things started, our process begins with an incredibly thorough cleaning of the existing material. We use industrial-strength acid cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This step is absolutely critical because any leftover residue will ruin the adhesion of the new topcoat. Since we want your new surface to last for many years, we never skip these tedious preparation steps.
After we completely clean the area, we repair any physical damage like chips or deep gouges using a specialized waterproof polyester filler. Once we sand those repairs flush, we apply a proprietary chemical bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old porcelain and the new finish. This chemical fusion ensures the new layers will never peel or bubble under normal daily use. Consequently, you receive a durable, high-gloss barrier that looks identical to a brand-new factory installation.
Finally, we spray multiple coats of a high-density acrylic urethane using advanced HVLP spray equipment. This specific material cures into an incredibly hard, non-porous surface that resists impact and chemical stains. Now, cleaning your bathroom becomes a total breeze because dirt can no longer cling to the slick, smooth finish. You will save hours of scrubbing time every single week just by making this simple upgrade.
If you choose the traditional remodeling route, you will quickly discover a hidden mountain of unexpected expenses. For instance, old plumbing pipes often crack during demolition, which forces you to hire an expensive licensed plumber. By choosing to restore your existing fixture instead, you completely avoid disturbing the surrounding tile, flooring, and drywall. This lets you keep your home clean and quiet while still achieving that modern, updated aesthetic.
| Project Factor | Full Replacement Method | Our Professional Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | One to two weeks of messy construction | Finished in just four to six hours |
| Average Financial Cost | Very high due to labor and new materials | Extremely affordable and budget-friendly |
| Mess and Debris Level | Tons of dust, broken tiles, and noise | Virtually zero mess left behind in your home |
| Lifespan of New Surface | Varies depending on product quality | Ten to fifteen years with proper care |
Another major advantage of our process is the sheer speed of the entire transformation. While a traditional remodel can render your only bathroom unusable for weeks, our process takes only a single afternoon. This means your household routine experiences almost zero disruption, and you can use your beautiful bath again in just twenty-four hours. For busy families, this rapid turnaround time is an absolute lifesaver.
Furthermore, older fixtures are often made of heavy cast iron or high-quality steel that retains heat much better than modern plastic replacements. When you keep your original heavy-duty tub and simply renew its outer skin, you preserve that superior heat retention for long, warm baths. Thus, you enjoy a more luxurious bathing experience while saving money and reducing environmental waste in local landfills.
Once we finish our work, you must treat the new finish with a little bit of respect to keep it looking perfect. Because the new acrylic layer is non-porous, you no longer need harsh, abrasive powders or bleach to keep it clean. In fact, using abrasive scrubbing pads or aggressive chemical cleaners will dull the beautiful shine over time. Instead, we highly recommend using mild dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth for effortless weekly maintenance.
It is also wise to avoid leaving wet washcloths or dripping bottles of shampoo sitting directly on the surface for extended periods. Constant standing water can sometimes weaken the bond of the coating over several years. By simply rinsing the surface and wiping it dry after use, you ensure the finish remains bright and beautiful for over a decade. This simple habit protects your investment and keeps your bathroom looking like a luxury hotel suite.
Additionally, you should never use suction-cup bathmats on a refinished surface. The constant pulling action of the suction cups can slowly lift the coating away from the original substrate. If you need a non-slip surface, just let us know before we start spraying, and we can easily apply a permanent slip-resistant texture directly into the finish. This custom option keeps your family safe without risking any damage to your gorgeous new glaze.

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 Bardin, 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.
