A dull or chipped tub in Corinna does not need a demolition crew. It needs one technician, one day and a sprayed finish that shines.

Imagine skipping the noisy dust and the endless parade of messy contractors through your home. This specialized process makes your old cast iron or fiberglass setup look brand new without touching your walls or plumbing. It is the fastest way to get a sparkling fresh wash basin with zero headache.
First we deep clean the entire surface to remove decades of soap scum and mineral deposits. This critical step ensures the new bonding agents stick perfectly to the old enamel or acrylic. If we skip this part the final finish might peel off like a bad sunburn after just a few months of hot showers.
Next we repair all those annoying chips and deep scratches that make your tub look ancient. This prep work uses specialized fillers to create a perfectly flat and uniform surface. You will never even know those ugly dents were there once we finish our work.
Then we apply a high tech bonding agent followed by several coats of a specialized acrylic urethane. This advanced material cures into a rock hard shell that looks and feels exactly like brand new porcelain. The result is a brilliant shine that resists scratches and looks beautiful for many years to come.
To help you understand why so many local homeowners choose this path we put together a quick comparison table. This shows you exactly how the process stacks up against a traditional replacement project.
| Factor | Surface Restoration | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable and budget friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden plumbing fees |
| Time to Complete | Usually under five to eight hours | Often takes three to seven days of messy work |
| Mess and Dust | Virtually none because we mask off the room | Massive amounts of drywall dust and plaster debris |
| Lifespan | Can easily last ten to fifteen years with proper care | Long lasting but requires major construction upfront |
Now you can see why restoring the surface is the superior choice for most busy families. This table highlights how you keep your hard earned money in your bank account while achieving the exact same visual result. It is a total no brainer for anyone looking to refresh their home on a budget.

Whether you live near the beautiful local lakes or right in the heart of the 04928 ZIP code area our mobile service comes right to your doorstep. This geographic focus means we understand the specific water conditions in our state that often cause those stubborn orange rust stains in your basin. We use specialized materials designed to withstand these exact local water challenges.
Because we are your neighbors we treat your home with the utmost respect and care. This dedication to quality service has made us the go to resource for local property owners who want beautiful homes without the crazy price tags. You do not have to settle for a dingy bathroom when a local pro is just a quick message away.
Let us be completely honest about what this process can and cannot do for your home. This method works miracles on cosmetic issues like stains, minor chips, rust spots, and outdated colors. It will instantly restore that lost luster and make cleaning a breeze because the new surface is completely non porous.
However this process will not fix structural issues like a rotting subfloor or severely rusted out drain areas. If your tub has a giant hole rusted right through the metal you will probably need to replace it. We always inspect your fixture first to ensure it is a good candidate for our specialized coating process.
On top of that you must use mild cleaners on your newly restored surface to keep it looking shiny. Harsh abrasive powders and scrub pads will dull the beautiful finish over time. This minor care requirement is a very small price to pay for a gorgeous bathroom that looks like a million bucks.
Just last week we helped an elderly couple who were ready to spend their savings on a massive bathroom remodel. They were absolutely terrified of the mess and the noise that comes with tearing out an old cast iron tub. I walked them through our restoration process and showed them how we could save their original fixture.
By the time we packed up our gear that afternoon their old yellowed basin looked like a sparkling white piece of art. They actually gasped when they saw the final result and could not believe it was the same old tub. Seeing that kind of relief and happiness is exactly why we love doing this work for our community.

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 Corinna, 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.
