Tired of looking at that old ugly tub every time you step into the bathroom?

You can actually save thousands of dollars right now by giving your existing washing basin a total surface makeover instead of ripping it out completely. Honestly, ripping out old plumbing fixtures costs way too much money and creates a massive dusty mess inside your home that takes forever to clean up... Our team comes right to your house to restore your fixture and we give you a completely free quote today!

Why replacing your heavy cast iron tub is a total nightmare

Demolishin an old bathroom fixture usually turns into a huge disaster really fast. First off, those vintage basin units weigh like three hundred pounds and barely fit through standard door frames. Plus, you almost always end up breaking surrounding wall tiles when you try to pry the heavy thing loose. Which means you suddenly have to hire a tiler and a plumber on top of buying brand new fixtures...

Instead of throwing your hard earned cash down the drain, restoring the original factory coating makes way more sense for your wallet. Actually, most home owners living around the local 43017 area code are totally shocked when they see how quick this process takes. Moreover, the brand new shiny finish lasts for many years without peeling off if you take care of it right. You get a space that looks like a million bucks while keeping your hard earned cash right in your bank account!

Check out how doing a quick surface restoration compares to doing a full bathroom demolition project:

Full Replacement Extremely Expensive 1 to 2 Weeks Dust Everywhere

The clever science behind refinishing worn out porcelain surfaces

First, we clean the whole area with special heavy duty acids to remove all dirt and soap scum build up. Next, we fix up every single tiny crack, chip, and rust spot using strong industrial filler materials. Then, our crew sprays multiple layers of high tech liquid acrylic coating using high pressure tools. This chemical bonding agent fuses directly into the old worn material underneath!

Suddenly, your dull scratched surface transforms into a bright mirror finish that looks brand spanking new. Because the non porous liquid hardens into an ultra tough shield, mold and grime cannot stick to it anymore. On top of that, cleaning your wash space becomes a total breeze because you just wipe it down with a soft sponge. No more scrubbing on your hands and knees for hours every weekend!

Real benefits you get from choosing local surface restoration experts

To start with, you save a ton of time because our crew finishes the entire project in less than eight hours. Consequently, you can take a warm relaxing bath in your newly coated tub the very next day. Furthermore, we bring super strong exhaust fans that pull all the chemical fumes outside through your nearest window... That means your home stays smelling clean and fresh while we work our magic!

Unlike some cheap DIY paint kits you buy at hardware stores, our high grade resin coatings never bubble up or peel away. Besides that, we blend custom colors if you want to match your existing sink or wall tiles perfectly. Therefore, your bathroom gets a uniform high end style without spending a fortune on interior designers. It really is the smartest home improvement trick in the book!

How our skilled team turns your rough tub into a silky smooth masterpiece

To begin, we carefully mask off all your faucets, floors, and vanity cabinets using heavy plastic sheets. After that, we scrape away all old silicone caulk along the edges so the fresh coating seals everything tight. Subsequently, we apply an etch primer coat that acts like super glue for the final top coat layers. We never skip steps or rush through the preparation work!

Finally, we spray top quality glaze coatings until the coverage looks completely thick and rich. Naturally, this heavy layer hides all those ugly dark stains and scratches that were embarrassing you before. Shortly after we pull off the protective tape, we lay down a fresh bead of bright white mold resistant sealant. Your entire setup suddenly looks like a high end luxury hotel room!

Common problems we fix on daily basin restoration jobs

Granted, older homes built near the local 43016 ZIP code often feature faded pink, green, or bright yellow porcelain colors from decades ago. Fortunately, our special chemical formulas easily cover up those outdated colors with a clean modern white finish. Additionally, we fix deep rust spots around the bottom drain hole before they turn into full blown water leaks. You do not have to live with a disgusting looking basin ever again!

In addition, we fix slipperiness issues by adding an anti slip textured bottom surface right into the top coat layer if you want it. Unquestionably, this extra safety feature protects young kids and older folks from slipping while taking a quick shower. That gives you total peace of mind without needing to stick down those ugly rubber mats that collect gross black mold underneath!

What makes our local service stand out from the rest

For that reason, our technicians put down floor runners so we never track mud or boots across your clean carpets. As a matter of fact, we clean up every single piece of trash before we leave your driveway. You get friendly neighborhood service backed by years of real hands on trade experience!

Furthermore, with the local median household income sitting around $135,514, smart homeowners here appreciate getting real long lasting value instead of wasting money on overpriced bath remodels!

Simple steps to take care of your fresh new shiny finish

To keep your newly restored coating looking fantastic, never use harsh abrasive powder cleaners or wire scrub pads. Instead, use gentle liquid dish soaps or non abrasive spray cleaners with a soft micro fiber cloth. Right after you finish bathing, give the sides a quick rinse with clean water to rinse away remaining soap film. It really is that easy to maintain!

Also, make sure you fix dripping faucets quickly so water does not sit pooled over the drain line for weeks on end. Similarly, keep sharp metal bath caddies from dropping onto the floor surface to avoid chipping the fresh gloss shell. By following these basic care tips, your gorgeous glossy fixture will stay shiny and bright for up to fifteen years easy!

Prep decides everything in Dublin

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 Dublin

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.

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 Dublin

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 Dublin

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.

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 Dublin, 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.
