A dull or chipped tub in Harrisburg 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 people assume they have to throw away a stained cast iron or acrylic tub when it gets ugly. However, our specialized process applies a high-performance liquid acrylic coating over your existing fixture to seal up every single scratch and stain. This means you get a glossy, non-porous finish that resists mold and looks incredibly bright.
To give you a better idea of how this compares to a full replacement, we put together a quick comparison table below.
| Feature | Our Restoration Process | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with plumbing fees |
| Time to Complete | Usually finished in just one day | Can take weeks of messy construction |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal dust, fully contained | Massive amounts of drywall dust and debris |
| Durability | Lasts for many years with simple care | Depends on the quality of the new tub bought |
Which means you can save your hard-earned money for other fun projects around the house. On top of that, the entire process takes less than twenty-four hours to cure fully. This lets you use your upgraded washroom almost immediately after we pack up our tools.
First, we clean the old surface with specialized industrial cleaners to remove every bit of soap scum, body oil, and mineral deposits. After that, we repair any deep chips or cracks using a heavy-duty waterproof filler. This step ensures the final coat lies perfectly flat and smooth across the entire basin.
Next, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding agent that acts like a superglue between the old porcelain and the new finish. Then, we carefully spray several layers of topcoat using professional spray equipment to create a deep, rich shine. Finally, we clean up our workspace so your home looks cleaner than when we arrived.
You might see cheap paint-on kits at your local hardware store and think about doing it yourself this weekend. Unfortunately, those retail store products lack the professional-grade bonding agents required to stop the paint from peeling off in sheets after a few hot showers. Which means you will likely end up spending more money to have us strip off the failed DIY paint later on.
Our commercial-grade compounds require precise temperature controls and ventilation systems to cure into a rock-hard protective shell. This is why investing in a professional service pays off in the long run. You get peace of mind knowing the job was done right the first time around.
Living in a cozy community in Linn County means we all appreciate the value of a dollar and look for ways to stretch our budgets. For instance, the median household income here sits around $42,022, so spending five thousand dollars on a messy bathroom remodel just does not make sense. Our cost-effective restoration service keeps cash in your bank account while still giving you that luxurious, clean-home feeling.
This affordable upgrade also boosts your home equity instantly if you ever decide to put your property on the market. Potential buyers absolutely hate seeing stained, rusty tubs, but they love seeing a sparkling clean washroom. Because of this, a quick cosmetic update can help your home sell much faster and for a better price.
On top of saving money, you also help protect our beautiful Pacific Northwest environment by keeping heavy cast iron and fiberglass tubs out of our local landfills. It is a win-win situation for both your wallet and the planet. We take pride in offering a green home improvement solution that actually works.
Once we finish our work, keeping your restored surface clean is actually much easier than dealing with old, porous porcelain. Since the new acrylic topcoat is completely non-porous, dirt and soap residue cannot bond to it. This means you can say goodbye to harsh scrubbing brushes and abrasive chemical cleaners forever.
To keep everything looking brand new, simply wipe down the surface with a mild dish soap and a soft sponge once a week. Avoid using suction cup bath mats, as pulling them up can slowly weaken the bond of the new finish over time. Instead, we can apply a permanent slip-resistant texture to the bottom of your tub during our application process.
If you follow these simple care steps, your beautiful new finish will easily last for over a decade. We always make sure to explain these easy maintenance tips before we leave your home. This ensures you get the absolute most value out of your investment.

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 Harrisburg, 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.
