Many homeowners in the local area do not realize how easy it is to fix their stained porcelain. We bring all the professional gear right to your doorstep to handle the prep work, safety venting, and the precise application of high-tech coatings. This means you can sit back, relax, and watch your ugly bathroom eyesore turn into a beautiful oasis.
Essentially, this specialized process involves applying a durable, high-gloss liquid acrylic coating over your existing cast iron, steel, or fiberglass fixture. Before we even think about spraying, we meticulously clean the surface with industrial prep agents to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures that the new bond remains solid for many years to come.
After we patch any deep chips or rust spots, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old surface and the new finish. Next, we spray several coats of top-tier acrylic urethane to build up a thick, glossy protective barrier. This advanced chemical fusion creates a non-porous shield that resists stains and wipes clean with minimal effort.
To help you understand how this compares to traditional replacement, we created a handy comparison table below.
| Project Aspect | Our Professional Coating Process | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Total Project Cost | Very budget-friendly | Extremely expensive |
| Time to Complete | Usually 4 to 6 hours | Several days or weeks |
| Mess and Dust | Virtually none | Massive drywall and tile dust |
| Lifespan of Finish | 10 to 15 years with care | Long-term but high initial cost |

We serve this wonderful community of around 12,000 residents, helping families upgrade their homes while keeping their hard-earned money local.
Since the median household income in this region sits around $52,000, we know that spending five grand on a bathroom remodel simply does not make sense for most budgets.

When you contact us, you are not dealing with a massive national corporation that treats you like a number on a spreadsheet.

We arrive on time, explain the entire process clearly, and provide a detailed, upfront quote without any hidden fees or surprise charges.
Older homes in our area often feature heavy cast iron basins that possess incredible character but suffer from worn-out enamel. Removing these heavy beasts requires sledgehammers, extra muscle, and expensive structural repairs to your subfloor. Our specialized restoration process allows you to keep that classic charm while restoring the bright, clean gloss of the original finish.
Furthermore, older fixtures were built to last, often featuring thicker metal and better heat retention than modern plastic replacements. By refreshing the worn surface, you retain that superior quality while upgrading the overall aesthetic of your space. This approach preserves the unique history of your home while giving you a clean, modern bathing space you can enjoy every day.
Most of our restoration projects take less than a single day, meaning you can use your shower again in about twenty-four hours. This rapid turnaround is perfect for busy households with only one bathroom, where a long renovation would cause massive daily disruptions. We set up professional exhaust fans to pull any fumes out of your home, keeping your indoor air clean and safe.
Once we pack up our tools, the only evidence of our visit is a dazzling, glossy fixture that looks like it just came off the showroom floor. You will love how much easier it is to clean the new surface, as dirt and grime simply slide off the non-porous coating. This saves you hours of back-breaking scrubbing with harsh abrasive chemicals that damage your lungs and your plumbing.
To keep your sparkling new finish looking its best for the next decade, you only need to follow a few simple care guidelines. First, always avoid abrasive cleaning powders, bleach, or scratchy scrub pads, as these can dull the high-gloss shine over time. Instead, use mild liquid dish soap or gentle, non-abrasive bathroom spray cleaners paired with a soft microfiber cloth.
Another helpful tip is to fix any leaky faucets quickly, as constant dripping can wear down the coating prematurely and cause unsightly mineral stains. Also, avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting directly on the surface for extended periods of time. These simple habits ensure your restored fixture retains its brilliant luster and stays looking brand new for years.
If you ever have questions about specific cleaning products, our friendly team is always just a quick phone call away to help you out. We stand behind our craftsmanship and want to ensure you get the absolute most value out of your investment. Our goal is to build long-term relationships with our clients by providing exceptional service long after the initial job is complete.

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, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
