A dull or chipped tub in Dale 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.
Maybe you look at your bathroom every single morning and feel a sudden wave of disappointment wash over you. That dated, faded, or chipped basin basin where you wash away the day is just not cutting it anymore. Fortunately, you can get a gorgeous, shiny surface again without spending a fortune on messy remodeling work.
This simple fix breathes brand new life into your existing heavy iron or acrylic tub. By choosing to apply a durable, glossy protective coating directly over your worn-out fixture, you save thousands of dollars. We bring this high-quality surface restoration service right to your doorstep so you can enjoy a sparkling bathroom once again.
Our team specializes in transforming these dull, stained, and hard-to-clean wash basins into bright, modern masterpieces. Because our process avoids tearing out walls or plumbing, you can go back to using your bathroom in just a matter of days. You get to skip the endless dust, the loud hammering, and the massive bills that come with traditional remodeling.
Actually, many homeowners confuse this specialized coating process with simple painting, but the two are completely different. Our multi-step bonding system involves meticulous cleaning, acid etching, and spraying a high-tech acrylic polymer. This chemical bond creates a completely new, non-porous outer layer that resists water, soap scum, and impact damage.
This means your old, stained tub gets a second chance at life while keeping its original sturdy structure. Since we use advanced ventilation systems during the application, we keep odors in your home to an absolute minimum. You get a sleek, clean look that mimics expensive brand-new porcelain at a mere fraction of the replacement cost.
To help you understand how this smart home improvement option compares to a full tear-out, we put together a quick comparison table below.

First, we clean the existing wash basin with specialized heavy-duty cleaners to strip away decades of built-up soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures that the new coating adheres perfectly to the original substrate without bubbling or peeling later. After that, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots using high-grade polyester fillers.
Next, we mask off the entire bathroom carefully using protective plastic sheeting and painter's tape to protect your floors, walls, and fixtures. This step guarantees that no overspray lands on your vanity, toilet, or freshly painted walls. We also set up a powerful exhaust fan in the window to pull any fumes out of your home during the process.
Once the prep is complete, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding agent that acts like a super-glue between the old surface and the new finish. This industrial-strength primer is the secret weapon that prevents the new glossy layer from peeling off when subjected to hot water. We never skip this step because we know it determines the ultimate lifespan of your beautiful new finish.
Finally, we spray several thin, even layers of a high-performance acrylic urethane topcoat using professional spray equipment. This creates a deep, rich luster that looks identical to brand-new factory porcelain. After letting it cure, we remove all masking materials, clean up our work area, and leave your bathroom looking pristine.
To ensure your newly coated basin stays beautiful, you must avoid abrasive cleaning powders, steel wool, or harsh bleach. These rough scrubbing tools can dull the shiny finish over time and create tiny scratches where dirt can hide. Instead, we recommend using mild, liquid dish soaps or non-abrasive aerosol bathroom cleaners with a soft sponge.
Another great tip is to fix leaky faucets immediately because constant dripping can wear down the new finish prematurely in one spot. This simple habit keeps your bathroom looking fresh and extends the life of your investment significantly. By taking these easy precautions, you can expect your gorgeous glossy surface to last for well over a decade.
On top of that, we suggest wiping down the surface with a soft towel after use to prevent hard water stains from forming. This minor effort pay offs big time by preserving that mirror-like reflection you fell in love with on day one. You will love how easy it is to rinse away grime from the ultra-smooth, non-porous barrier.

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 Dale, 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.
