A dull or chipped tub in Florida 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 tub every morning and sigh at the sight of those ugly stains. Indeed, those stubborn chips and faded colors can make your entire home feel dated and tired. Fortunately, a clever alternative exists that restores that glossy shine in just a single afternoon.
By choosing this smart surface restoration method, you skip the massive headache of hiring contractors to rip out your walls. This means you keep your hard-earned money in your pocket while still getting a gorgeous, sparkling washbasin. Our friendly local team specializes in giving these fixtures a brand new lease on life with zero hassle.
We believe that everyone deserves a beautiful home they can feel proud of. Because of this, we travel right to your doorstep to deliver outstanding results that look incredibly sharp. If you want to transform your space today, simply reach out to us for a completely free estimate.
Many homeowners assume they must buy an entirely new fixture when the old one starts looking rough. However, that costly mistake usually involves breaking tiles and dealing with dusty plumbing nightmares. Instead, our special process applies a durable, high-performance coating directly over your existing basin.
This advanced bonding technique fuses a tough new layer to the old cast iron, steel, or fiberglass. Consequently, you get a pristine, high-gloss finish that looks identical to a brand new showroom model. This smart approach saves you thousands of dollars while keeping heavy construction waste out of our local landfills.
To help you compare your options, we put together a quick guide on how this process stacks up against a full replacement.
| Comparison Factors | Full Replacement | Our Restoration Service |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | Three to five days of noisy mess | Just a few hours of clean work |
| Total Cost Involved | Very expensive plumbing and tiling fees | Extremely affordable and budget-friendly |
| Durability and Lifespan | Long-lasting but hard to install | Excellent longevity with simple care |
Now, you can clearly see why so many smart homeowners choose to refurbish rather than replace. This choice allows you to spend your weekend relaxing instead of cleaning up construction dust. We make the entire process incredibly straightforward from start to finish.
First, we start with an incredibly deep clean to strip away years of soap scum and mineral deposits. After that, we carefully patch any deep gouges, scratches, or rusty spots to create a perfectly flat surface. This meticulous preparation ensures the new coating will stick flawlessly for years to come.
Next, we apply a specialized bonding agent that acts like superglue for the liquid porcelain finish. Following this step, we spray several uniform coats of our premium acrylic topcoat using professional sprayers. This careful application creates a seamless, factory-like shine that feels wonderfully smooth to the touch.
Finally, we let the new surface cure completely so it hardens into a rock-solid protective shell. Once cured, your renewed wash area is fully ready for cozy bubble baths and quick morning showers. You will absolutely love how easy the new surface is to wipe clean.
You might see cheap paint kits at the local hardware store and feel tempted to try it yourself. Sadly, those brush-on products often peel off in giant sheets after just a couple of hot showers. Our commercial-grade materials require specialized safety gear and precise temperature controls to bond correctly.
By letting our experienced team handle the job, you avoid toxic fumes and uneven brush marks. On top of that, we back our work with a solid guarantee so you can sleep easy at night. We bring all the heavy-duty ventilation equipment to keep your indoor air clean and safe.
If you live in our beautiful mountain region, you know how much character our older homes possess. Many historic properties in the area feature gorgeous clawfoot basins that are almost impossible to find today. Our specialized coating process preserves these classic treasures while upgrading their daily usability.
We love serving the quiet, close-knit community of Florida, Massachusetts, where historic charm meets scenic New England beauty. Whether you reside near the scenic Mohawk Trail or closer to the state forest, we bring our mobile workshop straight to you. We understand the unique needs of homes in this beautiful ZIP code 01247 area.
With a local population of just 752 residents, we treat every single client like our close neighbor. Since the median household income here is around $64,000, we know how important it is to get real value for your money. Our affordable services help you upgrade your home without draining your savings account.
To keep your renewed surface looking brand new, you should avoid harsh abrasive cleaners entirely. Instead, use mild dish soap and a soft sponge to wipe down the basin after use. This simple routine prevents soap scum buildup and protects the brilliant glossy shine.
Also, make sure you fix any dripping faucets quickly to prevent standing water from wearing down the finish. Taking these small steps ensures your fixture stays beautiful and bright for up to a decade. We always share our favorite maintenance tips with you before we pack up our tools.

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 Florida, 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.
