A dull or chipped tub in Churchville 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 can actually save thousands of dollars by choosing to update your old tub instead of ripping it out. Our local team visits your home to restore that dull and stained surface to a brilliant shine today. This simple choice saves you time and keeps money in your wallet.
Think about the last time you stared at those ugly chips in your washbasin. You do not have to live with that embarrassing eyesore any longer. We make the whole process easy by coming straight to your door to evaluate the situation.
This budget-friendly home improvement method involves applying a highly durable polyurethane coating over your existing cast iron or acrylic basin. First we chemically clean the old porcelain to strip away decades of soap scum and mineral deposits. Then we repair any deep scratches or rust spots with a specialized waterproof filler.
After we prep the area we spray on an incredibly strong acrylic urethane topcoat. This fresh layer bonds at a molecular level to create a glossy protective barrier. This means your tub gets a second life without the mess of dusty construction.
To help you understand how this compares to a full replacement we put together a handy comparison table below.
| Factor | Our Restoration Method | Full Replacement Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable and fits most budgets | Extremely expensive with hidden plumbing costs |
| Time to Complete | Usually finished in just a few hours | Can take up to a week of messy work |
| Mess and Dust | Very minimal with protective plastic masking | Massive amounts of drywall dust and broken tile |
Living in our lovely village of Monroe County with its population of under two thousand residents means we value honest work and tight-knit community trust. Since most homes here in the 14428 ZIP code area feature classic architecture with solid older fixtures you really want to preserve that vintage character. Throwing away a heavy cast iron basin is a shame when we can make it look brand new.
Many neighbors in this quiet corner of New York state prefer keeping their hard-earned money. Our local median household income is strong but nobody likes wasting cash on overpriced remodeling contractors. By opting for a surface makeover you keep your bathroom fully functional with almost zero downtime.
Another great benefit of our service is how easy the new surface is to maintain. The smooth non-porous finish resists mold and mildew naturally. This lets you spend less time scrubbing on your knees with harsh chemicals.
We start by masking off your entire bathroom with heavy-duty plastic sheeting to protect your vanity and floors. Our technicians set up a high-powered exhaust fan to guide any fumes directly outside. This keeps your indoor air clean and fresh while we work.
Next we carefully remove the old caulking around the edges of your washing basin. We must do this because new coatings will not stick to silicone. This attention to detail ensures a flawless seal later on.
Once the surface is completely clean and dry we apply an exclusive molecular bonding agent. This acts like a super-strong glue between the old porcelain and the new finish. Without this step the new surface would peel off within a few months.
Then we spray several thin coats of premium resin using professional HVLP spray equipment. This technique ensures a perfectly even shine without any unsightly runs or drips. You get a factory-smooth result every single time.
Your beautiful new finish will last for many years if you treat it with a little bit of love. You should only use mild non-abrasive liquid cleaners and soft sponges to wipe it down. Avoid drop-in bleach tablets because those harsh chemicals can slowly dull the shine over time.
We also recommend keeping your dripping faucets repaired quickly. Constant water drips in one spot can eventually wear down even the strongest industrial coatings. Taking care of small plumbing leaks protects your investment.
Another smart tip is to avoid using bath mats with suction cups on the bottom. The constant pulling action can eventually weaken the bond of the new finish. Instead we can apply a permanent slip-resistant texture to the bottom of your tub during our process.
You deserve a beautiful bathroom that you can actually feel proud of when guests visit. Our friendly team is ready to drive out to your home to look at your worn-out fixtures. We will explain your options clearly and give you a detailed price quote on the spot.
There is absolutely no obligation to buy when you invite us over for a look. We believe in honest pricing and zero high-pressure sales tactics. We simply want to help our local neighbors make the best choice for their homes.

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 Churchville, 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.
