A dull or chipped tub in Garden City 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.

If you have ever tried to price out a full bathroom remodel, you know how incredibly fast the costs skyrocket.
Plumbers charge an absolute fortune just to disconnect your old drains and haul away the heavy waste.
On top of that, tile walls almost always get destroyed during a demolition, which adds even more to your final bill.
Choosing to coat your existing basin completely bypasses all that unnecessary stress and financial pain.
We leave your walls, floors, and plumbing completely intact while we do our magic on the worn surface.
This smart alternative gives you the exact same visual results as buying new, but at a tiny fraction of the price.
Consider the massive amount of time you save by choosing this modern resurfacing route over traditional construction.
A standard remodel can easily leave your home looking like a dusty war zone for two or three painful weeks.
Our specialized application process takes less than a single day, meaning you can use your shower again almost immediately.
Here is a quick comparison to show you how the two options stack up against each other:
| Factor | Our Resurfacing Service | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden fees |
| Time Required | Finished in 4 to 8 hours | Several days to weeks of loud construction |
| Mess & Dust | Minimal, we clean up everything | Massive amounts of drywall and tile debris |
| Plumbing Changes | None required at all | Often requires costly pipe relocation |
To get a finish that actually lasts for years, we follow a very strict multi-step preparation protocol.
We start by stripping away old DIY paint jobs and cleaning the cast iron or fiberglass with industrial-strength solutions.
This critical step removes every trace of soap scum, body oils, and ancient mineral buildup from the pores.
Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks using a heavy-duty polyester filler paste.
We sand those repaired areas completely flat so the final coat looks absolutely seamless and smooth to the touch.
After that, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically fuses the new glaze to the old base material.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of an advanced aliphatic polyurethane coating using professional high-volume, low-pressure equipment.
This material cures into an incredibly hard, high-gloss shell that resists impacts and prevents future staining.
You end up with a gorgeous, durable finish that rivals the look of brand-new baked porcelain.

Because we live and work nearby, we can easily swing by your place to provide a fast and accurate estimate.
We know the local water quality issues that cause those stubborn orange rust stains in your washbasin.
Our specialized coatings are specifically designed to stand up to these local conditions, ensuring your tub stays white for years.
Taking care of your restored surface is actually much easier than scrubbing a worn-out, porous old tub.
Since the new non-porous glaze resists dirt, you do not need to use harsh, abrasive bleach powders anymore.
In fact, using abrasive scrubs will eventually dull the beautiful shine we worked so hard to create.
Simply wipe down the surface once a week with a mild, non-abrasive liquid soap and a soft microfiber cloth.
This simple routine keeps the gloss looking incredibly sharp and prevents any soap scum from building up.
You will love how much less time you spend on your hands and knees scrubbing the bathroom floor.
Additionally, we highly recommend avoiding the use of suction-cup bathmats on your newly coated surface.
The constant pulling action of those suction cups can eventually weaken the chemical bond of the glaze over time.
If you need extra traction, ask us about our integrated slip-resistant bottom finishes that we can apply during the process.
Do not spend another day feeling embarrassed by the unsightly state of your master bath or guest shower.
Our friendly local team is ready to restore your fixtures and bring back that clean, inviting feeling to your home.

This is the easiest, most stress-free way to upgrade your home while keeping your hard-earned money in your pocket.

We look forward to helping you achieve the beautiful bathroom you deserve without the headache of a major renovation.
Let us handle the hard work so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your stunning, refreshed space!
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 Garden City, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
