A dull or chipped tub in Easton 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 hate looking at your stained and chipped washing basin every single morning? Well, replacing that heavy porcelain tub is expensive and messy. Luckily, our local crew in the famous Lehigh Valley region fixes worn basins in a flash.
Now, nobody likes dealing with bathroom renovations that take weeks and cost a fortune. This lets you save thousands of dollars while getting a brand new look. On top of that, your old washing station will last for many more years.
Tearing out a heavy tub ruins your tile floors and destroys your bathroom walls. Instead, applying a fresh polymer coating seals all the cracks instantly. Which means you dodge plumbing headaches and loud construction noise.
Every single home in the local area deserves a gorgeous washing basin without the heavy price tag. This smart choice brings back that glossy finish you missed so much. Ultimately, your morning routine becomes much more relaxing in a fresh space.
Meanwhile, traditional remodeling creates massive amounts of heavy landfill waste. Choosing our method keeps old cast iron out of local dumps entirely. Plus, you get to keep your original bathroom layout intact.
First, our technicians clean the entire tub surface using special industrial chemicals. This removes soap scum, body oils, and stubborn mineral deposits completely. Afterwards, we sand down the old porcelain to create a strong bonding layer.
Next, we spray multiple layers of durable acrylic polyurethane coating onto the basin. This gives you a smooth surface that resists mold and mildew buildup. Subsequently, your tub dries quickly and shines like new glass.
Following that final step, you simply wait twenty-four hours before using your shower again. This fast turnaround time prevents any major disruptions to your daily routine. Truly, convenience is what our local clients appreciate the most.
Purchasing a replacement fixture seems like a good idea at first glance. However, demolition costs and plumber fees add up very fast. This unexpected financial stress ruins your household budget in no time.
Furthermore, structural damage often hides underneath old porcelain basins during removal. Fixing those rotted wooden subfloors requires even more expensive carpentry work. Therefore, upgrading your existing basin is the smartest financial move.
Besides saving money, you also avoid weeks of living in a construction zone. Dust gets everywhere in your house when workers smash up old cast iron. Fortunately, our clean process leaves your surrounding tiles completely untouched.
To help you see the difference, here is a quick breakdown of your choices.
| Method | Average Cost | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Four Thousand Dollars | Two Weeks |
| Surface Restoration | Four Hundred Dollars | One Day |
Looking at these numbers makes the right choice pretty obvious for most homeowners. This lets you spend your hard-earned cash on other important family projects. Naturally, keeping your bathroom functional matters just as much as saving money.
Additionally, cheap DIY kits from hardware stores rarely last past the first year. Those weak paints peel off under hot water streams and heavy daily use. Hiring professionals ensures industrial-grade resins bond correctly for maximum durability.
Our beautiful town sits right where the Lehigh and Delaware rivers meet. With a population hovering around twenty-seven thousand one hundred residents, community pride runs deep here. Many historic houses feature vintage plumbing fixtures that need special care.
Properties carrying ZIP codes like 18040 often boast charming antique architecture with original bathtubs. Preserving these unique historical features adds immense character to your living space. Meanwhile, modern neighborhoods in Northampton County enjoy these exact same professional restoration benefits.
Economic conditions matter when you plan home improvements on a strict budget. With a local median household income of fifty thousand one hundred forty-three dollars, every dollar counts. That is why affordable surface renewal makes so much sense for local families.
Once your tub looks brand new, you must clean it using mild products. Harsh abrasive scrubbers will dull that gorgeous glossy finish way too fast. Instead, grab a soft sponge and gentle dish soap for weekly wipe-downs.
Avoiding rubber bath mats with strong suction cups prevents premature wear on the coating. Hanging your wet towels elsewhere also reduces constant moisture pooling around the drain area. Ultimately, these small habits guarantee your newly glazed surface stays pristine for decades.
Should you ever notice a tiny scratch, call our team for quick touch-ups. Ignoring minor damage lets water seep beneath the protective acrylic layer over time. Proactive care ensures your bathroom investment pays off indefinitely.

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 Easton, 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.
