Replacing an old cast iron or fiberglass tub usually turns into an absolute nightmare because you have to rip out surrounding tile and plumbing. By choosing to apply a premium liquid acrylic coating instead, you keep your original setup completely intact. This clever process seals up ugly chips, covers stubborn rust stains, and erases years of hard water buildup.
Since we apply these advanced bonding agents directly on site, the entire job wraps up in just a few hours. This allows you to use your upgraded bathroom almost immediately without waiting weeks for contractors to finish construction. On top of that, your wallet will thank you because this method costs a mere fraction of a traditional remodel.
To help you see the incredible value of this service, we put together a quick comparison of what you can expect during a bathroom update.
| Project Factor | Full Tub Replacement | Our Specialized Coating Service |
|---|---|---|
| Project Duration | Usually 3 to 7 days of loud construction | Completed in just 4 to 6 hours |
| Mess and Dust | High amount of drywall dust and debris | Virtually zero mess left behind |
| Average Cost | Very expensive due to plumbing and tile work | Highly affordable for any household budget |
First, we meticulously clean the entire area with specialized industrial cleaners to strip away old soap scum and body oils. This crucial preparation step ensures that our advanced bonding agents can fuse perfectly to the original porcelain or fiberglass. Without this deep chemical clean, the new protective topcoat would simply peel off after a few hot showers.
Next, we carefully repair any deep scratches, gouges, or unsightly rust spots using a high-grade polyester filler. This hands-on detailing work creates a perfectly flat, uniform canvas for the upcoming spray application. After the repairs cure, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic to keep your floors and walls completely safe.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of our proprietary aliphatic polyurethane coating using professional high-volume, low-pressure equipment. This advanced material cures into an incredibly hard, glossy shell that resists impact and chemical stains. Once we pull down the masking tape, you are left with a jaw-dropping, mirror-like finish that breathes fresh life into your home.
Proper maintenance ensures that your beautiful gloss finish remains bright and stain-free for decades to come. You should always use mild, non-abrasive liquid cleaners and soft sponges instead of harsh scrubbing powders or bleach. This gentle cleaning routine keeps the protective barrier smooth so dirt and grime cannot stick to the surface.
Additionally, you must avoid leaving wet bottles, soap bars, or dripping toys sitting on the ledge for long periods. Standing water can eventually break down even the toughest polymer coatings over several years of neglect. Taking these simple precautions ensures your upgraded wash station stays absolutely gorgeous with minimal effort on your part.

Choosing to renew your existing fixture is an incredibly eco-friendly decision that keeps bulky porcelain and cast iron out of local landfills. Heavy construction waste contributes significantly to environmental strain, whereas our process generates almost zero physical trash. This green approach lets you enjoy a stunning modern look while keeping your carbon footprint remarkably low.

It is a true win-win scenario for both your home aesthetic and the planet.
If you find yourself scrubbing your tub constantly but it still looks dirty, the original protective glaze has likely worn away. When this protective layer disappears, the porous material underneath absorbs dirt, oils, and minerals like a sponge. Applying our advanced coating seals those microscopic pores so you can wipe the surface clean with a simple swipe.
Another clear warning sign is the appearance of small chips, spiderweb cracks, or rough patches that scratch your skin. These damaged areas can trap moisture against the underlying metal or fiberglass, leading to costly structural rot over time. Addressing these minor imperfections early prevents water leaks and saves you from massive repair bills down the road.
Lastly, outdated colors like dusty pink, avocado green, or harvest gold can make your entire home feel stuck in a bygone era. Our modern bright white or biscuit finishes instantly drag your bathroom into the modern world. You will love how clean and bright your space feels once we erase those vintage colors forever.
We believe that home improvement should be an exciting, stress-free journey rather than a chaotic, expensive chore. Our friendly team arrives on time, respects your property, and leaves your home looking cleaner than we found it. We handle every step of the process with meticulous attention to detail so you do not have to worry about a thing.

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, 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.
