A dull or chipped tub in Beacon Hill 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 probably stare at that stained, peeling basin in your bathroom and wish for a miracle. Luckily, you can transform that tired surface into a smooth, glossy masterpiece without spending a fortune on a total gut job.
Getting rid of an old basin usually means tearing up your floors and walls. This process creates a mountain of dust and debris that lingers in your home for weeks. Furthermore, you end up paying for expensive plumbing work and new tile labor just to fix the mess.
Instead of all that chaos, you can choose a smart, high-tech surface renewal that fits right over what you already have. This approach saves you thousands of dollars while keeping your home peaceful and clean. Plus, you get to keep that solid, cast-iron structure which often lasts longer than new plastic alternatives.
You might wonder how a simple coating holds up against daily water exposure and heavy scrubbing. The trick lies in a specialized chemical bonding agent that anchors the new finish directly into the original surface. Because the material fuses with the substrate, it creates a rock-solid shield that resists chips and cracks.
Since the application happens right in your bathroom, you avoid the hassle of dragging heavy fixtures out of your house. Once the technician finishes, the finish cures into a durable, non-porous layer that looks stunning. This layer makes cleaning your space feel like a breeze because grime simply slides off the slick surface.

Beyond the financial savings, you gain a massive boost in the visual appeal of your private sanctuary. Imagine walking into a bathroom where everything gleams like it just came off the showroom floor. This feeling of gratification makes your morning routine much more pleasant every single day.
Perhaps you worry about the smell or the potential mess during the job. Our team uses high-capacity exhaust systems to whisk away any fumes before they reach your living area. You can relax knowing your family stays safe while we work our magic on your old fixtures.
First, you call for a free estimate to see exactly what your project needs. A friendly pro comes to your house to inspect the current state of your basin and wall tiles. They check for deep scratches, cracks, or rust spots that might need a little extra love before the coating goes on.
Next, the preparation stage begins with a deep cleaning to strip away soap scum and old caulk. This step is vital because it ensures the new material adheres perfectly to the base. Once everything is pristine, the technician tapes off your walls and floors to ensure complete protection.
After the surface is perfectly prepped, a primer coat goes on to create an unbreakable bond. The final topcoat is then sprayed on with precision to get that perfectly smooth finish. You will not find any drips or uneven spots because we take our time to get it right.
Once the curing process completes, you have a tub that looks like a million bucks. To keep it that way, you should avoid harsh scouring pads or acidic cleaners that damage the top layer. Just use a soft sponge and a mild, non-abrasive soap to keep it shining.
If you ever notice a tiny scratch, you can easily touch it up before it turns into a bigger issue. This proactive maintenance ensures your investment remains in top shape for many years. You really get the best of both worlds with this simple, effective home upgrade.
Many people ask if they can change the color of their basin during this process. You absolutely can choose from a variety of shades, from bright white to soft almond. This flexibility allows you to update your decor without buying new fixtures.
Another question involves the timing of when you can take a shower again. Usually, you only need to wait about twenty-four hours for the material to reach full hardness. This fast turnaround means you never have to stay away from your own bathroom for too long.
You might see those bathtub paint kits at the big box stores and think they look simple. However, those products lack the industrial-grade adhesion that a professional service provides. Without the right spray equipment and curing agents, the paint often peels within a few months.
It is much better to let a skilled person handle the job the first time. They have the right tools to ensure the finish does not bubble or flake away. You get a guarantee on the work, which provides you with genuine serenity.
Now that you know how this process works, you probably want to see what your own bathroom could look like. It is time to stop hiding that stained tub behind a shower curtain. By taking this step, you make your home a better place for you and your guests.

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 Beacon Hill, 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.

The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
