A dull or chipped tub in Bloomingdale 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 tub looks so dingy and scratched that you hate even stepping into your bathroom. Naturally, you might think about ripping the whole thing out, but that ruins your budget and creates a giant mess. Luckily, a much smarter and faster way exists to make that worn-out basin look brand new again without breaking the bank.
Instead of dealing with dusty demolition, you can choose to have a skilled technician apply a fresh, glossy finish right over your existing fixture. This clever process saves you thousands of dollars and avoids weeks of construction headaches. Our friendly local team loves helping homeowners transform their bathrooms in just a single day.
To make things even better, we will gladly come right to your home to look at your setup and give you a free estimate. This means you get honest, upfront pricing with zero obligation. You can finally stop hiding your bathroom behind a thick shower curtain and start enjoying a sparkling clean space.
First, we carefully prepare the area because a clean surface is absolutely crucial for a lasting bond. We scrub away years of soap scum, mineral deposits, and old oils that stick to the original porcelain or fiberglass. After that, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or ugly cracks so the foundation is completely smooth.
Next, we apply a high-tech bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old surface and the new coating. This step prevents peeling and ensures your new finish stays beautiful for many years to come. Then, we spray on several coats of a premium acrylic polyurethane topcoat using professional spray equipment.
Finally, we let the new surface cure into a rock-hard, high-gloss shield that looks exactly like brand new porcelain. Which means you get a dazzling, easy-to-clean surface that resists stains and looks incredibly premium. You will save a ton of time on chores since dirt washes right off this slick finish.
When you compare these two options, the savings will absolutely blow your mind. Replacing a tub involves hiring plumbers, paying for tile repairs, and tossing heavy trash into a landfill. On top of that, those hidden costs quickly turn a simple home project into a financial nightmare.
By choosing our specialized restoration service, you keep your original quality fixture while skipping the chaotic mess. This lets you update your color scheme from an outdated dusty rose or avocado green to a clean, modern white. The entire project wraps up in less than twenty-four hours, which keeps your daily routine running smoothly.

First, we sit down with you to examine your tub and explain the entire process clearly. We look for rust around the drain, soft spots in the fiberglass, and any previous coatings that might need stripping. This thorough inspection ensures we give you an incredibly accurate price quote with no hidden fees later on.
Now, we also discuss your color preferences and talk about how to care for your new finish. We want you to feel completely confident and excited about your upcoming bathroom makeover. Asking questions is highly encouraged because we love sharing our knowledge and helping you make the best decision.
To keep your renewed surface shining like a diamond, you simply need to avoid harsh, abrasive cleaners. Bleach and abrasive scrubbing powders will dull the glossy topcoat over time and ruin the beautiful shine. Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners and a soft sponge.
Additionally, you should avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting on the ledge. This prevents water from getting trapped underneath, which can eventually weaken the bond of your new finish. Following these simple steps ensures your beautiful wash basin stays sparkling and bright for a decade or more.
Why spend another day looking at an ugly, stained wash area when a simple solution is just a phone call away?

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 Bloomingdale, 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.
