A dull or chipped tub in Fort Drum 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.

Many homeowners think they need to buy a brand-new basin when their current one gets dull or stained. However, our specialized process coats your existing cast iron or fiberglass structure with a durable, high-tech protective layer. This advanced liquid compound bonds on a molecular level to create a slick, non-porous exterior.
First, we carefully prep the area by removing old caulk and applying a deep-cleaning acid wash to strip away soap scum. After that, we repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots using premium waterproof fillers. Finally, we spray multiple layers of a top-tier acrylic coating that cures into a rock-hard, beautiful glaze.
| Restoration Step | Concrete Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Etching and Cleaning | Ensures the new coating sticks perfectly so it never peels or bubbles. |
| Surface Repair | Fixes ugly chips and dangerous rust spots to prevent structural water leaks. |
| HVLP Spraying | Creates a factory-smooth finish that feels amazing against your skin. |
Now, you might wonder if this process smells bad while we do the work. While the chemical bonding agents do have a strong scent, we use heavy-duty exhaust fans to vent the fumes safely outside. This means your family can stay comfortable indoors while we transform your wash space in just a few hours.
Buying a new unit at the hardware store looks cheap on the price tag at first glance. Unfortunately, the real nightmare starts when you realize the old frame will not fit through your narrow bathroom doorway. Which means you must pay a contractor to chop it into pieces and rip out your gorgeous wall tiles.
On top of that, plumbing hookups rarely line up perfectly with new fixtures. This plumbing mismatch forces you to hire an expensive licensed specialist to reroute your drain pipes behind the wall. Those unexpected extra labor costs can easily triple your original home improvement budget in a heartbeat.
Fortunately, our on-site coating system lets you keep your sturdy original fixture while completely updating its color. This smart choice protects your wallet from runaway construction bills and keeps your bathroom fully functional. You get to avoid the weeks of dust, loud banging, and overall chaos that comes with a standard remodel.
Living in this beautiful part of Jefferson County means dealing with extreme seasonal temperature swings. From freezing winter blizzards to humid summer afternoons, your home constantly expands and contracts. Because of these rapid shifts, we use premium flexible bonding agents designed to withstand thermal shock without cracking.
Our hard-working community of 13,109 residents deserves home improvement solutions that actually last. With a local median household income of $45,032, keeping maintenance costs low is a top priority for most families here. We take pride in offering affordable services that fit the budgets of our brave service members and neighbors.
Whether you live near the main base or in the surrounding 13602 ZIP code area, we come directly to you. Our experienced technicians understand the specific plumbing setups found in both older historic properties and modern military housing. This local expertise ensures we deliver a perfect finish that handles daily wear and tear with ease.
Once we finish our work, keeping that brilliant shine bright requires very little effort on your part. You must avoid abrasive bleach powders or rough green scrubbing pads that can scratch the delicate topcoat. Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or a gentle foaming cleaner with a soft microfiber cloth.
This simple cleaning routine prevents soap scum buildup while preserving the glossy protective barrier for many years. Additionally, you should never leave wet shampoo bottles or heavy plastic bath mats sitting on the wet floor. Trapped moisture under rubber suction cups can weaken the bond over time and cause premature peeling.
By following these easy guidelines, you ensure your beautiful wash basin remains a highlight of your home. Our team always provides a detailed care sheet after completing the job so you know exactly how to protect your investment. We want you to enjoy your sparkling clean space for a decade or more.
You might see cheap roll-on paint kits at your local home improvement store and feel tempted to try it yourself. However, those retail products use cheap epoxy paints that yellow quickly and peel off within a few months. Without professional-grade etching acids and high-pressure spray guns, achieving a smooth look is practically impossible.
Our commercial-grade materials are not sold to the general public because they require specialized training and safety respirators. When you hire us, you get a beautiful finish that looks identical to brand-new porcelain. This professional touch saves you the frustration of a ruined DIY project that you would have to pay to strip anyway.
Ready to finally say goodbye to that ugly, stained basin that you hate looking at every single morning? Our team is standing by to visit your home and provide an honest, upfront price quote without any hidden fees. We make the entire process simple, fast, and completely stress-free from start to finish.
Since we respect your busy schedule, we arrive on time and complete most restoration projects in under five hours. This quick turnaround means you can use your gorgeous, upgraded shower again the very next day. Grab your phone to schedule your free on-site consultation!
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 Fort Drum, 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.
