The Magic of Surface Refinishing

Let us look at how this cool process actually works.
First, we strip away all the old soap scum, mineral deposits, and ancient DIY paint jobs.
This tedious preparation work guarantees our new coating bonds perfectly to the original material.

Then, we repair those annoying chips, deep scratches, and rusty spots that look so ugly.
Our special bonding agents lock onto the clean porcelain like superglue.
After that, we spray a high-tech liquid acrylic coating over the entire structure.

This creates a smooth, non-porous layer that resists stains and looks incredibly bright.
You get a gorgeous, glossy finish that makes your entire bathroom feel clean and modern.
On top of that, the whole job takes only a few hours instead of weeks of messy construction.

Our process works beautifully on several common bathroom fixtures:

Fixture Type Common Problems Our Restoration Benefit
Cast Iron Tubs Rust spots, worn enamel, dull finish Restores original gloss without heavy lifting
Fiberglass Showers Cracks, yellowing, stubborn stains Strengthens the structure and seals leaks
Clawfoot Classics Exterior rust, interior chipping Preserves antique value with modern durability

Why Restoration Beats Replacement Every Time

Think about the sheer chaos of a traditional bathroom demolition.
Dust flies everywhere, plumbers charge crazy hourly rates, and your floor tiles get ruined.
By choosing our professional recoating service, you avoid all of that unwanted stress.

Furthermore, we complete the entire application in less than a single day.
This means you can actually use your shower again very quickly.
That is a massive benefit if your home only has one bathroom for the whole family.

We use top-tier industrial coatings that hold up against daily scrubbing and hot water.
These materials are much stronger than the cheap kits you find at local hardware stores.
Those DIY paint kits usually peel off within a few months and look terrible.

Our professional equipment ensures a smooth, factory-like finish without any brush marks.
We also take care of all the dangerous fumes with our heavy-duty ventilation fans.
You get to sit back, relax, and watch your old bathroom transform before your eyes.

Our local clients love how easy it is to keep these restored surfaces clean.
Because the new glaze is completely sealed, dirt and grime cannot stick to it easily.
A quick wipe with a mild soap keeps it shining bright for many years to come.

What to Expect During Our Visit

We check for deep rust, structural cracks, and previous amateur paint jobs.

On the day of the job, we protect your floors and walls with drop cloths.
Our technician meticulously masks off all your faucets, drains, and surrounding tiles.

Your bathroom is left spotless, smelling fresh, and looking absolutely stunning.

We want you to feel completely confident in our local home improvement services.

Caring For Your Newly Glazed Basin

To keep your restored fixture looking beautiful, you must treat it right.
Never use abrasive scrubbing powders or harsh bleach products on the new surface.
These rough chemicals can dull the beautiful shine over time.

Instead, stick to gentle liquid cleaners and soft sponges for your weekly chores.
This simple care routine protects the protective layer and extends its lifespan.
Your tub will remain bright, clean, and incredibly smooth for a very long time.

Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet bottles or soapy washcloths sitting on the ledge.
Standing water can eventually break down even the toughest professional coatings.
By keeping the surface dry between uses, you ensure its long-term durability.

We want to help you get the most value out of your home investment.
Our friendly team is always ready to answer any maintenance questions you might have.
We love sharing our knowledge to keep your home looking its best.

Are you ready to say goodbye to your ugly, stained bathroom fixture?

Prep decides everything in Dedham

Three quiet stages carry the whole result. They are also the ones nobody sees in the after photo.

The surface earns the coating

Stage 1 of 3

The surface earns the coating

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.

Damage is filled, not painted over

Stage 2 of 3

Damage is filled, not painted over

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.

A controlled spray, not a brush

Stage 3 of 3

A controlled spray, not a brush

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.

Reglaze, liner or new tub in Dedham

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 questionReglazing in placeAcrylic linerFull 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 actionOne day, then the cureWeeks of lead time, then a fitting dayOne to two weeks of trades

Honest life expectancyFive years and up when cared forLong, unless water creeps between the shellsDecades
Watch out forPrep shortcuts by cut-rate crewsA spongy feel and hidden moistureThe 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.

Six passes over one bathtub in Dedham

Deep clean and etch

Pass 1

Deep clean and etch

Soap scum, silicone and old wax stripped, then the surface etched or bonded so the coating can bite.

Chip and rust repair

Pass 2

Chip and rust repair

Every ding ground out, filled and sanded flush. The repairs disappear under the coating instead of through it.

Masking the room

Pass 3

Masking the room

Tile, faucet, floor and glass papered off. Overspray lands on masking paper, never on grout or chrome.

Sprayed finish coats

Pass 4

Sprayed finish coats

Primer, then gloss coats laid on in thin passes until the surface reads as one poured skin.

The cure window

Pass 5

The cure window

The finish hardens on its own clock, 24 to 48 hours. We tape the door and leave the tub in peace.

Fresh caulk lines

Pass 6

Fresh caulk lines

Old caulk goes out with the old finish. A new mildew-resistant bead seals tub to tile on the way out.

Refinished, not reborn

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.

What the new surface is

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.

What it is not

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.

The habits that stretch it

  • Clean with liquid bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth; abrasive powders and scouring pads are the finish's only real predators.
  • Skip suction-cup mats, or at least lift them out after the bath. Trapped water works on any coating given enough weeks.
  • Fix a dripping faucet early. A steady drip wears a track in the gloss the way it would wear a stone.
  • Rinse and wipe after bath oils and hair dye; both stain slowly when left to sit.
  • Call us about the first chip, not the fifteenth. Spot repairs on our own finish are quick and cheap.

The whole job, measured in your time in Dedham

Two minutes

You dial the number

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 figure, spoken

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

The morning of

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

Repair, mask, spray

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

Cure and caulk

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 the work runs in Dedham

What we quoteTypical rangeReading the number
Standard bathtub, reglazed complete$350 - $800Clean, etch, repairs, sprayed gloss and fresh caulk.
Chip or rust repair alone$150 - $300When the finish is sound and only one wound needs closing.

Caulk renewal with the job$90 - $180Old bead cut out, mildew-resistant line laid in.
Small job minimumaround $250The 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.

How we stand behind a coating

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.

Asked while we tape the paperwork

  1. How bad is the smell, honestly?

    Strong while spraying, gone surprisingly fast. The extractor vents the room to the outside for the whole job around Dedham, 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.

  2. When can we actually use the tub?

    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.

  3. Can the color change, or only refresh?

    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.

  4. Do fiberglass and acrylic tubs qualify?

    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.

  5. The tub was coated before and peeled. Now what?

    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.

  6. Is five years all I should hope for?

    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.
