A dull or chipped tub in Covenant Life 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 look at that stained, chipped basin every single morning and feel a tiny bit of your soul wither away. Honestly, nobody wants to start their day staring at a dingy surface that belongs in a horror movie. Fortunately, you can completely transform your washroom fixture without spending a fortune on a noisy, dusty demolition crew.
By choosing to refinish your existing tub, you instantly bypass the nightmare of ripping out drywall and plumbing. This smart alternative saves you thousands of dollars while delivering a glossy, factory-fresh surface. Our local team specializes in this exact restoration process, and we are ready to visit your home to provide a free project estimate today.
Which means you get to enjoy a sparkling, clean bathroom in just a matter of hours. Actually, most homeowners do not realize how easy it is to renew their current setup. Let us take a closer look at how this budget-friendly magic happens right in your home.
First of all, buying a new fixture seems cheap at the store until you realize you have to pay a plumber to install it. On top of that, the old unit is likely tiled into your wall, meaning you must destroy your beautiful surround just to get it out. This domino effect turns a simple weekend upgrade into a multi-week construction disaster that leaves you showering at the gym.
In contrast, our specialized resurfacing process keeps your existing layout completely intact. We carefully mask off your entire bathroom to protect your vanity, floors, and walls from any overspray. Then, we apply high-performance bonding agents and topcoats directly over your worn-out cast iron or fiberglass.
This method creates a durable, non-porous barrier that looks identical to a brand-new installation. Because of this, you save a massive amount of time and money. Here is a quick comparison to help you see the real differences between these two home improvement options.
| Project Factor | Our Refinishing Method | Full Replacement Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | Just 4 to 6 hours | Up to 2 weeks of mess |
| Total Average Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden fees |
| Mess and Dust Level | Virtually none with our protective setup | Massive amounts of drywall dust and debris |
| Life Expectancy of Surface | 10 to 15 years with proper care | Depends on the quality of the new unit |
Now, you can clearly see why smart homeowners choose the path of least resistance. You get the same beautiful result without the headache of living in a construction zone. We pride ourselves on delivering this premium service with absolute precision and care.
To begin, we meticulously clean the old surface using specialized industrial cleaners to remove decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This step is absolutely critical because even the smallest speck of dirt can ruin the adhesion of our new coatings. If we find any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks, we patch them up with high-strength waterproof fillers.
After we prep the surface, we apply a proprietary chemical bonding agent that acts like a microscopic anchor. This chemical bond ensures that our topcoat fuses directly to your old porcelain, acrylic, or steel fixture. Next, we use professional spray equipment to apply multiple layers of an advanced aliphatic acrylic polyurethane coating.
This specific material cured to an incredibly hard, glossy finish that resists scratches and fading. Consequently, your fixture looks incredibly shiny and feels incredibly smooth under your feet. You will love how easy it is to clean this new surface because dirt simply slides off.
Perhaps you want to get rid of that outdated 1970s avocado green or pastel pink that makes your eyes hurt. We offer a wide range of modern shades, from bright arctic white to soft almond and biscuit tones. These clean colors instantly make your entire bathroom feel larger, brighter, and much more inviting.
This allows you to customize the space to match your current decor or future design plans. Plus, a neutral white surface helps boost your home value if you ever decide to sell. It is a win-win situation for your wallet and your peace of mind.
Since we use industrial-grade coatings, our finished surfaces stand up to daily use from busy families and playful pets. You do not have to worry about the material peeling or bubbling as long as you avoid harsh abrasive cleaners. Just use mild dish soap or a gentle spray, and the shine will last for more than a decade.
This durability means you can relax and enjoy long, soaking baths without any anxiety. We stand behind our craftsmanship and ensure every single detail is absolutely perfect before we pack up. Our local team treats your home with the utmost respect from start to finish.

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 Covenant Life, 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.
