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

First of all, removing an old cast iron or steel basin is a heavy, dirty job. Workers have to smash your tiles, tear up the drywall, and sometimes even widen the bathroom doorway just to get the old fixture out. This extra labor quickly adds giant dollar signs to your final bill.
On top of that, you lose the use of your primary bathroom for days or even weeks. Plumbers, drywall installers, and tile setters all have to coordinate their schedules. That means endless dust, noise, and strangers walking through your home while you wait for them to finish.
Fortunately, our specialized enamel coating process avoids all of that chaos. We work directly on your existing fixture right where it sits. You bypass the plumbing headaches and the mountain of construction debris entirely.
This clever process relies on high-tech chemistry to bond a durable new topcoat to your worn-out fixture. We start by deeply cleaning the old surface to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. After that, we apply a special bonding agent that acts like superglue for the new finish.
Next, we spray multiple layers of a premium acrylic polyurethane coating using professional ventilation equipment. This state-of-the-art material cures into a hard, glossy shell that looks exactly like brand new porcelain. The final result gives your washroom a clean, bright appearance that is incredibly easy to maintain.
To help you understand how this compares to other options, here is a quick breakdown of your choices:
| Project Aspect | Full Replacement | Acrylic Liners | Our Spray-On Restoring |

Maybe you have an ancient, heavy cast iron clawfoot tub that has lost its shine over the years. These historic beauties are definitely worth saving because their quality is vastly superior to modern plastic replacements. Our bonding process adheres beautifully to old cast iron, restoring its historic luster.
Perhaps you have a standard steel or fiberglass alcove tub that has yellowed and cracked. We can easily repair small chips, deep scratches, and cosmetic cracks before we apply the new glossy layer. Once we finish the job, those old blemishes disappear completely under the smooth new surface.
Even outdated ceramic wall tiles can get this same amazing treatment to match your newly refreshed basin. Imagine transforming your entire outdated pink or green bathroom surround into a clean, modern white oasis. This total transformation happens without removing a single tile from your wall.
With proper care, this gorgeous new surface will easily look fantastic for ten to fifteen years. You simply need to avoid abrasive bleach powders and harsh scrubbing pads that can scratch the glossy shine. Mild dish soap or gentle spray cleaners keep it looking like a sparkling mirror with very little effort.
We also use top-tier materials that resist yellowing over time, even when exposed to sunlight and hot water. This premium quality means your bathroom stays bright and fresh year after year. It is a long-term upgrade that adds real value to your home without the premium price tag.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to shield your walls and floors. We also set up a powerful exhaust fan in the window to draw any paint fumes safely out of your home. This protection ensures that your house stays clean and safe while we work.
Second, we fix any physical damage like rusty spots, deep chips, or old caulking. We use specialized fillers that cure quickly and sand down to a perfectly flat, seamless surface. This preparation work is the absolute secret to a flawless, long-lasting finish.
Finally, we apply the prime coat and spray the beautiful topcoats using professional-grade HVLP spray equipment. After a short curing period, we remove all our masking materials and apply fresh, clean silicone caulk around the edges. You are left with a sparkling, clean bathroom that is ready to use in just twenty-four hours.

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 Cresaptown, 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.
