A dull or chipped tub in Cherry 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.
Looking to fix up your gross old washing basin without burning a giant hole through your wallet? You came to the right spot, friend! Right now you can get a free estimate to make your deep soaking tub look totally brand new again.
Every morning you step into your washroom and look down at that hideous pink or dull white finish. Years of hard water deposits, soap scum, and harsh chemical cleaners just destroy that original factory glaze completely... honestly it makes me wanna cry sometimes! Furthermore, buying a whole new heavy cast iron basin costs a insane amount of cash once you figure in the cost of tile demolition, expensive plumbing contractors, and disposal fees.
Luckily, refinishing that tired surface solves all those crazy head-aches in just a few short hours. Instead of tearing out your entire room, skilled local refinishers apply a tough high-tech polymer coating over your existing fixture. Consequently, you save thousands of dollars while getting a shiny glassy surface that lasts for years and years.
Obviously, you want to know how much cash stays in your bank account. Check out this simple breakdown comparing a complete teardown against our fast surface restoration service right here in Camden County...
| Service Type | Average Cost | Project Time | Mess Factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement Tear-Out | $3,500 - $8,000 | 3 to 7 Days | Dust everywhere! |
| Professional Resurfacing | $350 - $650 | 3 to 5 Hours | Zero mess left behind |
First off, the whole process starts with some good old-fashioned elbow grease. Our guys scrub down the old fiberglass or porcelain shell using heavy duty industrial cleaners to remove every speck of grease. Afterwards, we put down a special acid etch compound that eats tiny microscopic grooves into the glass enamel so the new paint sticks like superglue!
Next up, we fill in all those ugly chips, hairline cracks, and deep rust spots with special filler paste. As a result, the bottom feels totally smooth under your bare feet when taking a hot shower. Then, we mask off your tile walls, chrome faucets, and floor using thick paper and tape to protect your home from overspray.
Finally, we break out the professional spray gun system. We apply multiple coats of high-performance liquid acrylic glaze resin that fuses right to the old layer... it honestly smells pretty funky during application, but the amazing super shiny results are totally worth it!
Living right around the 08002, 08003, or 08034 area codes means you have access to top-notch local technicians who know these older suburban homes inside out. You get one clear written price for your own situation, with no obligation. Besides, who actually wants dirty construction guys blasting power tools in their home for two full weeks straight?
Meanwhile, our crew handles everything in a single morning. That means you can literally use your fresh sleek bathing basin the very next evening! Honestly, it feels like complete magic when you see the dramatic before-and-after transformation with your own eyes.
Surprisingly, the new topcoat layer is ridiculously easy to wipe clean after every single shower. Because the non-porous resin seals up all those tiny cracks, mold and nasty mildew just can't grab hold anymore. Therefore, you spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees on lazy Saturday mornings!
Additionally, keeping your original vintage tub keeps heavy materials out of local landfills. That makes it a super eco-friendly choice for smart homeowners around our bustling community of 71,045 residents! Plus, you maintain the original heavy-duty build quality that old-school fixtures were famous for back in the day.
Beyond that, the endless color options let you customize your washroom however you like. Want to flip that 1970s avocado green basin into a crisp bright modern white? No problem at all! In addition, we can add a non-slip textured finish onto the tub floor so grandma never slips and takes a bad fall.
To keep that brilliant polish shining bright, you just gotta follow a few super simple house rules. First, toss out those abrasive scouring powders and scratchy steel wool pads forever. Instead, grab a gentle liquid soap and a soft microfiber towel to wipe away water spots smoothly.
Secondly, avoid dropping heavy metal tools or sharp objects directly onto the fresh surface. Even though the technical coating is super tough, a falling wrench can still chip the top layer if hit hard enough. Luckily, minor chips are real easy to touch up down the road if an accident happens... so no need to panic!
Right now, our local team is ready to jump in your driveway and give you an honest no-obligation estimate on the spot. Simply give us a call to claim your totally free quote in a few clicks!

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 Cherry 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
