A dull or chipped tub in East Thetford 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.
Do you look at your stained basin and feel sad? Well, that tired surface can actually shine again without a huge remodel.
Truthfully, buying a brand new tub costs a fortune. Fortunately, our local team brings old porcelain back to life fast.
Instead of ripping out heavy cast iron, we spray a tough new coating right over it. This modern technique saves you thousands of dollars on plumbing fees.
Furthermore, keeping your original tub avoids dumping massive chunks of steel into local landfills. Which means you protect the environment while saving cash.
Years of scrubbing can wear away the original factory glaze on your porcelain. Consequently, dirt sticks to the rough patches and makes cleaning a frustrating chore.
By applying a fresh chemical bond, we seal all those microscopic pores completely. This lets you wipe away soap scum effortlessly every single week.
Living out here in ZIP codes 05043 means dealing with chilly winters and hard water buildup. Therefore, your bathroom surfaces take a real beating from mineral deposits over time.
Our hardworking crew serves every corner of this charming community near the riverbanks. We love helping local homeowners in this peaceful New England town keep their houses looking amazing.
With a cozy population of 2617 residents, everyone tends to know their neighbors around here. That is why we treat every single home with the utmost respect and care.
Money matters to families trying to balance a sensible budget these days. Because the median household income varies, finding smart ways to update your space without breaking the bank makes total sense.
Prying out an old tub destroys surrounding tile walls and flooring in a hurry. Then you have to hire carpenters and tile setters just to patch up the mess.
On top of that, those messy projects drag on for weeks and disrupt your daily routine. By choosing our streamlined resurfacing method, you avoid all that annoying construction dust.
First, we clean your worn basin thoroughly with heavy-duty industrial solvents and mild acids. This removes years of body oils and stubborn mineral crusts completely.
Next, we etch the remaining porcelain so the liquid primer sticks securely. This ensures your fresh finish will not peel or chip away down the road.
After prepping the area, we spray multiple layers of specialized acrylic polyurethane resins. This creates a brilliant barrier that handles daily showers like an absolute champ.
Plus, you can pick from several classic shades to match your bathroom decor. This gives you a custom designer look for a fraction of the usual cost.
Once the spraying finishes, the new shell needs about twenty-four hours to cure hard. Following this short waiting period, you can jump right back into your sparkling tub.
Meanwhile, avoid using abrasive scouring powders that might dull the glossy sheen prematurely. Instead, stick to gentle liquid soaps and soft sponges for routine wipe-downs.
Check out this quick breakdown showing why resurfacing beats total replacement every single time.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time Required | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Tear Out | Very High | Two Weeks | Extreme Dust |
| Our Resurfacing | Low Budget | One Day | Zero Mess |
Clearly, keeping your existing fixture is the smartest route for busy homeowners. This smart choice lets you spend your hard-earned money on other fun home projects.
Even better, our skilled technicians handle the entire messy job in just a few hours. Which means you get your bathroom back right away without any lingering headaches.
Chips around the drain often let water seep into the subfloor below. Thankfully, we fill those ugly gouges with waterproof epoxy fillers before spraying the topcoat.
Rust stains near the overflow plate can also make a good tub look ancient. Our specialized primers neutralize that oxidation so it never bleeds through the new finish.
A properly maintained surface can easily last ten to fifteen years with minimal effort. This impressive lifespan gives you incredible value for a very modest investment.
Naturally, we stand behind our craftsmanship with a solid warranty against peeling and bubbling. This lets you sleep peacefully knowing your bathroom investment stays fully protected.
Some DIY kits sold in big box stores promise amazing results for very little cash. However, those cheap brush-on formulas usually leave brush strokes and peel off quickly.
Professional spray equipment applies an atomized mist that creates a factory-smooth finish instead. Therefore, trusting experienced local pros always yields much better long-term results.
Are you ready to turn that dull, rough basin into a gleaming masterpiece today? Well, taking action is simple and costs you absolutely nothing to get started.

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 East Thetford, 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.
