A dull or chipped tub in Brooklyn 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.
That dingy, stained basin in your bathroom probably makes you cringe every single time you step in to take a quick shower. Fortunately, you can completely bypass the massive headache of a full renovation by choosing a smart, modern resurfacing alternative instead. Our local family business specializes in bringing back that brilliant shine to your existing bathroom fixtures right here in Green County.
Imagine avoiding the dusty chaos of sledgehammers and loud contractors tearing up your walls just to fix one ugly surface.

This budget-friendly choice lets you enjoy a sparkling clean wash space in a fraction of the time.

Many folks mistake our specialized process for a simple coat of cheap paint, but it actually involves a highly technical chemical bonding system. First, we meticulously clean the old porcelain or acrylic using industrial-strength agents to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures the new materials will stick forever without peeling up later.
After the deep clean, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks with a heavy-duty polyester filler. This makes the surface completely flat and uniform, which is vital for the next steps. You will not even be able to tell where the old damage used to be once we finish this prep work.
Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical superglue between the old substrate and the new topcoat. This high-tech primer creates a permanent link so the new finish resists hot water and daily wear. It is the secret weapon that separates a quick DIY kit from a long-lasting professional job.
Finally, our skilled technicians spray multiple layers of a premium acrylic urethane coating using specialized high-volume, low-pressure equipment. This advanced spray technique creates a deep, glossy luster that mirrors the original factory glaze perfectly. Once it cures, your wash basin will look incredibly bright and feel wonderfully smooth to the touch.
Replacing a solid cast iron tub often turns into a total nightmare because those old beasts can easily weigh over three hundred pounds. Demolishing one usually requires cutting it into pieces with a reciprocating saw, which fills your entire home with toxic dust and deafening noise. On top of that, you almost always end up damaging the surrounding wall tile, plumbing pipes, and floorboards.
Choosing our specialized coating method keeps your original high-quality fixture right where it belongs while giving it a complete cosmetic makeover. This means you do not have to pay expensive disposal fees to dump heavy waste into our local Wisconsin landfills. You get a gorgeous result while being kinder to the environment and your wallet at the same time.
Let us look at how the two options stack up against each other financially and logistically:
| Project Factor | Full Replacement Option | Our Coating Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | One to two weeks of messy construction | Completed in just a single day |
| Total Financial Cost | Very expensive due to plumbing and tile repairs | Extremely affordable for any household budget |
| Mess and Dust Level | High amount of drywall dust and heavy debris | Virtually none, with fully contained overspray |
| Durability and Life Expectancy | Depends on the quality of the new cheap tub | Easily lasts ten to fifteen years with proper care |
This simple comparison shows why so many smart homeowners choose to restore rather than replace. You save valuable time, avoid massive renovation stress, and keep your hard-earned cash in your bank account. It is truly a win-win situation for anyone looking to refresh their home on a budget.
Because we care about your home and your health, we set up a heavy-duty exhaust system before we even open our toolboxes. We run a flexible duct to the nearest window to draw out all the fumes and chemical odors during the spraying process. This keeps your indoor air clean and ensures your family does not have to breathe in strong paint smells.
We also mask off every single inch of your bathroom walls, floors, vanity, and toilet using thick protective plastic and tape. This painstaking preparation prevents any stray overspray particles from settling on your beautiful fixtures or expensive flooring. When we pack up our gear and peel away the plastic, your bathroom will look spotless.
Our experienced crew knows how to work efficiently without cutting any corners. We show up on time, respect your property, and clean up every bit of trash before we leave. You will love how easy it is to work with a team that values customer service as much as craftsmanship.
To keep your fresh glossy finish looking spectacular for years to come, you must throw away those abrasive scrubbing powders and harsh bleach products. These rough cleaners will slowly dull the shiny topcoat over time and leave microscopic scratches that trap dirt. Instead, you should use mild dish soap or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners along with a soft microfiber cloth.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet shampoo bottles, soap bars, or heavy toys sitting directly on the bottom of the basin. Standing water trapped beneath these items can eventually weaken the chemical bond and cause localized bubbling. Taking ten seconds to wipe the surface dry after your shower will extend the life of your new finish dramatically.
We also highly recommend avoiding suction-cup bath mats because pulling them up can put immense stress on the new coating. If you need a non-slip surface for safety, just let us know before we spray our final coat. We can easily apply a permanent, textured slip-resistant finish directly into the bottom of the tub for you.

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 Brooklyn, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
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.
