A dull or chipped tub in Beddington 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 surface every single morning and feel a little bit of your soul wither away.

Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to get a pristine bathroom again.
Instead, a simple surface restoration can completely transform your bathing area in just a single afternoon.

Which means you save a mountain of cash while still getting that glossy, fresh-out-of-the-box shine you deserve.

We come right to your home in Washington County and handle the entire transformation from start to finish. If you want to see how affordable this magic trick really is, you can grab a free estimate from us today!
Many folks confuse this specialized process with simple painting, but it actually requires a highly technical chemical bonding method. First, we meticulously clean the old porcelain or fiberglass to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This preparation step is crucial because the new finish needs a perfectly clean slate to adhere to.
Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor between the old material and the new coat. After that, we spray multiple layers of a specialized aliphatic acrylic polyurethane topcoat using professional high-volume, low-pressure equipment. This advanced material cures into an incredibly hard, glossy shell that resists impact and stains for many years.
This means you get a gorgeous, easy-to-clean surface without the hassle of hiring contractors who will leave dust all over your house. Our team of local technicians possesses the exact skills needed to apply these toxic-smelling chemicals safely and beautifully. We use heavy-duty ventilation systems to pull the fumes out of your home while we work, keeping your family safe.
To help you understand your options, here is a quick comparison of what you face when updating your bathroom:
| Method | Average Cost | Time to Complete | Mess Factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Very High | 3 to 7 Days | Extremely Dusty |
| Acrylic Liners | Medium-High | 1 to 2 Days | Moderate |
| Our Resurfacing Process | Very Low | 4 to 6 Hours | Minimal |
Living in a quiet, beautiful corner of Maine with a population of around 50 people means you value practical, high-quality solutions. When you reside in the 04622 ZIP code, finding reliable contractors who will travel out to help you can sometimes feel like a chore. That is why we love serving this tight-knit community with honest, top-tier craftsmanship that speaks for itself.
Since the median household income in this scenic area requires smart budgeting, spending five grand on a bathroom remodel makes very little sense. Our affordable surface renewal service gives you the exact same visual result as a brand-new fixture for a tiny fraction of the cost. On top of that, you do not have to go without your primary shower for a week while plumbers make a mess.
This clever upgrade works beautifully on cast iron, pressed steel, fiberglass, and even acrylic units. Whether your current setup is a dingy avocado green from decades ago or just a white basin covered in ugly rust stains, we can fix it. You will be amazed at how a bright, gleaming white finish makes your entire bathroom feel twice as large and much cleaner.
To start with, keeping your old heavy cast iron tub is actually a massive win for your home heat retention. Those vintage models hold the heat of your bathwater far longer than cheap modern plastic replacements ever could. Which means you can enjoy a long, hot soak without having to constantly top it off with warm water.
Additionally, you prevent a massive piece of non-biodegradable waste from heading straight into our local landfill. Protecting our beautiful pine tree state is something we should all care about, and restoring old fixtures is incredibly eco-friendly. You get to enjoy a gorgeous, sparkling bathroom while doing your small part to protect the environment around us.
Once we finish our work, caring for your shiny new barrier is actually incredibly simple. You must throw away those harsh abrasive scouring powders and scratchy green scrub pads forever. Instead, a gentle wipe with a mild dish soap or a specialized spray cleaner will keep the finish looking brand-new.
Because the new non-porous coating is so smooth, dirt and grime have a really hard time sticking to it. This lets you spend less time on your knees scrubbing the bathroom floor and more time enjoying your life. Just a quick rinse after each shower is usually all it takes to maintain that deep, reflective gloss.
When our friendly technician arrives at your home, they will first inspect the fixture for any deep cracks or rusty spots. We carefully repair all these imperfections using specialized waterproof fillers before we even think about applying the topcoat. This ensures the final result is perfectly smooth and structurally sound for the long haul.
Next, we mask off all your tiles, walls, and fixtures with protective paper and tape to prevent any overspray. We take pride in leaving your home just as clean as we found it, if not cleaner. Then, we set up our exhaust fan in the window to pull any fumes and dust out of your living space.
Finally, we apply the high-performance coatings in thin, even passes to build up a durable, glossy shield. After we pack up our gear and leave, you only need to wait about twenty-four hours for the chemical bonds to fully cure. After that brief wait, you can peel off the tape, turn on the faucet, and slide into a beautiful, relaxing bath.
Stop putting up with an ugly, stained washing basin that makes you feel embarrassed when guests visit. You deserve to have a beautiful, clean space where you can wash away the stress of a long day in peace. Our local crew is ready to drive out to your property and deliver an incredible transformation that will make you smile.
We believe in honest pricing, exceptional customer service, and using the highest quality materials available on the market. We never cut corners on prep work because we want our finishes to last for ten to fifteen years with proper care. You can trust us to treat your home with the utmost respect and care throughout the entire process.

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 Beddington, 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.
