A dull or chipped tub in Bergen 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.
Maybe your old bathroom fixture looks like a relic from a forgotten decade because the finish is dull and stained. Actually, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy bathroom remodel just to get that shiny new look again. Instead, our local team can spray a fresh, incredibly durable coating right over your existing cast iron or porcelain basin so it looks brand new by tomorrow.
This budget-friendly process saves you from the nightmare of ripping out walls and plumbing. Furthermore, you will avoid the massive cleanup that always comes with heavy construction inside your home. By choosing this smart updating method, you keep your hard-earned money in your pocket while still getting a gorgeous, glossy surface that invites you to take a relaxing soak.
We believe in honest work and helping our neighbors get the beautiful homes they deserve. Therefore, we want to help you understand how this simple resurfacing process works and why it makes so much sense for your property. Let us explore the magic of giving your old wash basin a second life without the usual headaches.
Think about the sheer chaos of hiring contractors to tear out a heavy, built-in tub. Specifically, they often have to break tiles, cut drywall, and sometimes even widen doorways just to get the old beast out of the house. This means a simple project quickly spirals into a massive, expensive construction zone that leaves you without a working bathroom for weeks.
On top of that, new modern replacements are often made of cheap, flimsy plastic that flexes when you stand in it. In contrast, those classic older basins are built like absolute tanks and retain heat incredibly well. By restoring the original surface of your sturdy fixture, you preserve that high-quality craftsmanship while upgrading the look to match modern styles.
Our specialized restoration process bypasses all of that expensive demolition work completely. Consequently, we complete the entire transformation right in place, usually in just a single afternoon. You get to keep your heavy-duty, high-quality fixture while enjoying a sparkling, clean surface that looks like it just came from the showroom floor.
First, we clean the existing surface with specialized industrial cleaners to remove every trace of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. After that, we carefully repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots using high-strength fillers. This preparation phase is the most critical part because the new coating needs a perfectly smooth foundation to stick to.
Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like chemical velcro to fuse the new finish to the old porcelain. Following this step, our technician uses professional spray equipment to apply multiple layers of a high-tech, acrylic polymer coating. This careful application ensures a deep, rich gloss that resists peeling and fading for many years to come.
Finally, we let the new surface cure completely so it hardens into a rock-solid, non-porous barrier. This means you can say goodbye to scrubbing stubborn mold and mildew from worn-out, porous surfaces. Cleaning becomes an absolute breeze because dirt simply slides right off the smooth, refreshed glaze.
To help you see the real value of this restoration service, we put together a quick comparison of your options. This table shows why local homeowners prefer our specialized process over traditional remodeling methods.
| Project Factor | Full Replacement | Our Refinishing Service |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High (Thousands of dollars) | Extremely Affordable |
| Time to Complete | Usually 1 to 2 weeks | Less than 24 hours |
| Mess and Dust | Massive demolition debris | Virtually none |
| Durability | Depends on cheap new materials | Restores strong original fixture |
As you can clearly see, restoring your existing fixture wins in every single category. It keeps your life simple and keeps your budget completely under control. Why pay for expensive plumbing rerouting when you can get the same beautiful result for a fraction of the price?
To keep your sparkling new finish looking its absolute best, you must avoid harsh abrasive cleaners. Specifically, powdery scrubs and bleach can eventually dull the beautiful shine over time. Instead, you should use mild, non-abrasive liquid soaps and a soft sponge to keep the surface gleaming.
Additionally, we highly recommend keeping leaky faucets repaired so water does not drip constantly on the new glaze. Standing water over long periods can eventually wear down even the toughest professional coatings. By taking these simple, easy precautions, you will enjoy a bright, beautiful bathroom fixture for up to a decade.
Another great tip is to avoid using bath mats with suction cups on the bottom. These cups can pull at the coating when you lift them up, which might cause damage. We can actually apply a permanent, built-in slip-resistant texture to the bottom of your tub during our process to keep you safe without needing those annoying mats.

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 Bergen, 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.
