A dull or chipped tub in Collingdale 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 ugly, stained surface in your washroom probably drives you crazy every single day.
Getting a fresh look does not mean you need to tear your whole house apart.
We can make your washbasin or deep soaking tub look brand new in just a few hours.
Naturally, you might think a full remodel is the only way to escape those nasty chips and rusty spots.
However, ripping out a heavy cast iron fixture often destroys your beautiful wall tiles and costs a small fortune.
Our quick restoration service saves your wallet while giving you that sparkling clean surface you crave.
This smart alternative breathes fresh life into tired porcelain and fiberglass without the dusty chaos of demolition.
Which means you get to keep your original layout and avoid high plumbing bills.
You will love how the light bounces off the glossy new finish when we finish our work.
Many folks do not realize that the dull, rough texture they scrub desperately is actually worn-out glaze.
Years of harsh chemical cleaners strip away the original protective layer and leave the material porous.
This porous state acts like a magnet for dirt, soap scum, and hard water minerals.
Instead of replacing the whole unit, we apply a high-performance liquid acrylic coating directly over the prepped structure.
This specialized bond creates a non-porous barrier that looks identical to factory-fresh porcelain.
On top of that, the new layer resists mold and makes your weekly cleaning chores incredibly easy.
Our process works beautifully on a wide variety of materials found in local homes.
Check out this handy comparison to see how we handle different setups:
| Fixture Material | Common Issues | Our Restoration Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Cast Iron | Rust spots, chipping, dullness | Prevents further corrosion and restores deep shine |
| Steel | Denting, surface scratches, rust | Fills imperfections and adds a thick protective coat |
| Fiberglass | Cracking, fading, yellowing | Reinforces weak spots and brings back bright color |
This table shows why throwing away your old setup is rarely the smartest choice.
By choosing to restore rather than discard, you preserve the sturdy craftsmanship of older fixtures.
We love helping homeowners save money while achieving a beautiful, modern look.
First, we clean the area with specialized industrial prep agents to strip away decades of soap residue.
Then, we carefully repair any deep scratches, gouges, or unsightly rust patches with waterproof fillers.
This meticulous preparation ensures the new coating sticks perfectly and stays smooth for years to come.
Next, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to block any overspray.
We also set up a powerful exhaust fan to pull fumes out through the nearest window.
Your safety and peace of mind are always our top priorities during this temporary phase.
Once everything is taped up, we spray a proprietary bonding agent that fuses the old surface with the new topcoat.
After that cures, we apply multiple layers of our premium resin coating using a precision spray system.
The result is a deep, luxurious gloss that completely transforms the vibe of your washroom.
Our tight-knit community of about 8,790 residents deserves top-notch craftsmanship without big-city price tags.

As you can clearly see, opting for a surface renewal is the most logical path forward.
You get to enjoy a gorgeous, sparkling bathroom while keeping your hard-earned cash in your pocket.
We make the entire process stress-free from the moment we walk through your front door.
To ensure your beautiful new finish lasts for a decade or more, you must treat it gently.
Avoid abrasive scouring powders, bleach, or rough scrubbing pads that can scratch the glossy acrylic.
Instead, use mild liquid dish soaps or non-abrasive bathroom cleaners to wipe away water spots.
Another helpful tip is to avoid leaving wet washcloths or shampoo bottles sitting on the rim.
Standing water can weaken the bond over time and lead to premature peeling or bubbling.
Simply wiping down the edges after your shower keeps everything looking pristine and bright.
We always share these easy maintenance tips with our clients because we want your investment to last.
A little bit of care goes a long way in preserving that showroom shine for your family.

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 Collingdale, 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.

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.
