A dull or chipped tub in Greenwood 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 look at your scratched basin and sigh with pure despair every single morning? Fortunately, our local crew brings old porcelain back to life right here in Greenwood, Maine. This service lets you skip messy demolition while saving plenty of hard-earned cash.
Meanwhile, buying a replacement tub costs thousands and ruins your bathroom walls completely. Instead, our surface restoration process fixes chips and stains in just a few hours. That means you get a gorgeous bathing spot without the massive headache.
Consequently, local homeowners in ZIP codes 04255 face harsh winters that wear down older materials fast. Thankfully, our specialized coating seals out moisture and keeps your basin looking pristine for years. Such smart upgrades also help boost your overall home value effortlessly.
Before any spraying begins, we scrub the entire structure to remove soap scum and mineral buildup. Next, our technicians etch the porcelain so the new bonding agent grips tightly. This extra step prevents peeling and guarantees a long-lasting finish.
Afterwards, we tape off your surrounding tiles and floors to protect your bathroom from stray mist. Naturally, we ventilate the area properly while working to keep your indoor air safe. Such careful preparation lets us deliver smooth results every single time.
Once the prep work finishes, we spray multiple layers of high-grade acrylic polyurethane over the tub. This tough material fills in hairline cracks and smooths out stubborn rough patches. Therefore, your vintage fixture feels silky smooth against your skin again.
Furthermore, this shiny barrier resists mold growth and makes your weekly cleaning routine much easier. You will spend less time scrubbing and more time relaxing in your upgraded space. Ultimately, your old wash basin transforms into a stunning focal point.
| Factor | Restoration | Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Very affordable | Extremely expensive |
| Time | One afternoon | Several weeks |
| Mess | Minimal dust | Major destruction |
Naturally, looking at the numbers makes the smarter choice pretty obvious for most budget-conscious residents. Yet some folks still worry about the durability of a sprayed-on coating compared to brand-new units. Fortunately, our industrial-grade resins withstand daily family use just like original factory finishes do.
Besides that, avoiding dumpster rentals and drywall repairs keeps your stress levels remarkably low. Plus, you never have to worry about matching new fixtures to vintage bathroom layouts. This smart approach protects your existing decor while fixing the underlying wear and tear.
Living in a charming town with a population of about 830 means folks value practical, honest home repairs. Since the median household income varies across rural Maine, smart budgeting matters to everyone. Therefore, choosing a surface makeover instead of a gut remodel makes total financial sense.
Additionally, older properties often feature cast-iron tubs that weigh hundreds of pounds and resist removal. Trying to haul one of those heavy monsters down your stairs sounds like a terrible nightmare. Luckily, our crew treats the heavy lifting on-site without ever removing the heavy shell.
On top of that, historic homes deserve to keep their original architectural character intact whenever possible. Preserving your vintage clawfoot tub lets you maintain that nostalgic charm while enjoying modern cleanliness. That way, you honor your home history without sacrificing daily convenience.
Do you notice dull gray patches where the shiny gloss has completely worn away? Perhaps tiny rust spots are bleeding through the porcelain near the main drain. Whenever these annoying blemishes appear, ignoring them only leads to bigger structural problems.
Furthermore, rough surfaces trap dirt and bacteria that normal household cleaners simply cannot wash away. This buildup makes your bathing area look perpetually dirty no matter how hard you scrub. Fortunately, our bonding treatments seal those porous areas completely shut.
Consequently, water will bead up nicely on your newly sprayed surface just like a waxed car. You will enjoy a hygienic washing environment that looks brand new to every visitor. Such a dramatic transformation always brings a genuine smile to your face.
Many hardware stores sell cheap brush-on kits that promise professional results for very little money. However, those DIY formulas often bubble, peel, and discolor within just a few months. That means you waste your precious weekend and end up paying us to fix the mess anyway.
Instead of risking your hard-earned dollars, let our trained technicians handle the complex chemical application. We use professional spray equipment and specialized ventilation gear to guarantee a factory-smooth coat. This expertise saves you from toxic fumes and frustrating do-it-yourself blunders.
Moreover, our work comes with solid backing so you can rest easy knowing your investment is secure. You get peace of mind along with a stunning bathroom centerpiece. Truly, trusting local professionals is the smartest route for any homeowner.
Are you finally ready to ditch that stained and embarrassing basin for good? Transforming your dull washing area takes less time than you probably think right now. Reach out to our local team today to discuss your specific project goals.
We believe in honest pricing with zero hidden fees or high-pressure sales pitches ever. Therefore, you can request your free estimate right now without any lingering obligations. Let us help you fall back in love with your home.
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 Greenwood, 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.
