A dull or chipped tub in Dix 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 worn out bathing basin every morning and wish for something better. Fortunately, you can totally transform that tired porcelain without spending thousands on a crazy remodel. This local trade involves spraying a special coating directly over your existing tub to make it look brand new.
Residents living in the Oneida County area often struggle with cracked or stained bathing basins that ruin their entire room. Now is the perfect time to fix those ugly surfaces and save a ton of cash while doing it. This process lets you avoid messy demolition projects and keeps your daily routine moving without annoying delays.
Wondering if you should tear out your old plumbing piece or simply spray it instead? Well, ripping out a heavy cast iron tub usually damages your walls and floors. Alternatively, our local crew arrives right at your home in the 13316 area to spray a durable resin finish in just a few hours.
Think about the savings when your household income makes every single dollar count around the house. This smart method costs a tiny fraction of a full replacement and lasts for many years with proper care. Which means you keep extra money in your pocket for other important family expenses.
First off, our professional techs scrub away years of soap scum and hard water minerals using industrial cleaners. Next, we carefully mask off your bathroom walls and floors to protect your home from overspray. After that, we apply a strong bonding agent so the new topcoat sticks tightly to the old surface.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of high grade acrylic polyurethane to create a gorgeous shiny finish. This lets you enjoy a smooth surface that resists stains and wipes clean with simple soap and water. On top of that, you get to pick from several bright colors that match your personal style and taste.
| Feature | Full Replacement | Professional Spraying | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Extremely High | Very Affordable | |
| Time Required | Several Days | Just One Day | |
| Mess | Heavy Debris | Zero Demolition | |
| Durability | Lasts Decades | Lasts Many Years |
Perhaps your vintage basin has ugly rust spots or deep chips that make you feel embarrassed. Happily, our skilled team fills those imperfections before applying the fresh coating so the final result looks totally seamless. This lets you restore historical fixtures in older properties without losing their original charm.
Local properties in this quaint town often feature unique architectural details worth preserving rather than tossing into a landfill. Naturally, our technicians take pride in saving these classic porcelain pieces from the scrap yard. Consequently, your bathroom keeps its vintage character while gaining modern shine and cleanliness.
Following the application, you must wait about forty eight hours before filling the basin with water. This drying period lets the new polymer coating cure completely and achieve maximum hardness. Afterward, you can take relaxing soaks whenever you want without worrying about peeling or bubbling.
Remember to avoid abrasive scouring powders that might scratch the fresh glossy finish over time. Instead, use gentle liquid dish soap and a soft sponge to keep everything sparkling day after day. This simple maintenance routine ensures your investment stays gorgeous for a really long time.
Landlords and property managers around the local region often deal with beat up fixtures between tenant move outs. Fortunately, our mobile service comes directly to your apartment building to refinish multiple units quickly. This helps you get apartments back on the market faster without expensive bathroom renovations.
Local hospitality businesses also benefit greatly from our fast turnaround times during seasonal slow periods. Because nobody wants to book a room with a stained tub, our service keeps your guests happy and impressed. Therefore, your business maintains a great reputation for cleanliness and attention to detail.
Did you know that tossing a heavy tub into the trash creates unnecessary landfill waste? Thankfully, choosing to spray your existing fixture keeps tons of heavy material out of local dump sites. This eco friendly choice reduces the demand for manufacturing brand new porcelain products overseas.
Mother Nature definitely thanks you for reducing your carbon footprint through smart home improvement choices. Plus, our modern coatings use low odor formulas that do not release harmful toxins into your indoor air. Which means your family stays safe and healthy while we work our magic in your bathroom.
Are you wondering how long this amazing shiny coating actually lasts under normal daily usage?

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 Dix, 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.
