A dull or chipped tub in Harwinton 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.
You probably stare at those ugly cracks and chipped spots in your washbasin area every single morning. This worn out surface makes your entire home feel outdated and honestly a bit gross even after you scrub it for hours.
However, you can fix this entire mess without tearing out the plumbing or spending a small fortune on a full renovation. My crew specializes in applying a fresh, high-quality finish that brings back the original shine and smooth texture to your bathing unit.
Maybe you think replacing the whole thing is the only way to go when the glaze wears off. That path usually leads to weeks of construction dust, broken tiles, and a very empty bank account for you.
Instead, think about how much easier it is to simply spray a durable new layer over the existing structure. This process bonds directly to the material, which saves you from the massive headaches of traditional demolition jobs in your residence.
Furthermore, this specialized coating creates a barrier that resists mold and mildew better than porous, old surfaces ever could. You get a space that feels fresh and brand new while keeping your budget firmly in check.
First, we carefully clean the area to remove years of soap scum, hard water deposits, and deep grime. This ensures the bonding agents stick perfectly to the base material without any peeling or bubbling later on.
Next, we address every little chip or deep scratch with specialized fillers designed to withstand constant moisture exposure. You will notice that the surface looks uniform and smooth once we finish this vital preparatory step.
Then, we apply a high-grade chemical finish that hardens into a protective shell over the old porcelain or fiberglass. This lets you enjoy a beautiful, shiny fixture that lasts for years without needing any expensive replacements.

You might wonder if the fumes are going to take over your house for a full week. Actually, we use advanced ventilation systems that pull vapors out of the room so you stay safe.
Some people worry that the finish will look fake or peel off after just a few months of usage. Truthfully, our application process is far superior to those cheap DIY kits you see on store shelves.
When we finish the job, you receive a surface that feels strong and sturdy under your feet. It provides a level of ease and relaxation that makes every shower feel like a visit to a high-end spa.

Proper ventilation is something we never overlook because your safety remains our absolute top priority during the procedure. We use professional-grade masks and extraction fans to ensure the air quality stays clear throughout the entire project.
After the application, we allow the finish to cure properly so it forms a permanent bond with the substrate. This curing phase is critical because it creates the strength you need for daily washing and bathing.
On top of that, we provide clear instructions on how to clean your newly treated unit to keep it shining. Avoiding harsh abrasive chemicals ensures that your new surface stays pristine and glossy for a very long time.

Do you ever have to remove the old plumbing fixtures like faucets or handles during this process? Usually, we can work around them or mask them off, but sometimes removing them makes for a cleaner finish.
What happens if there is existing rust around the drain area of the bathtub? We treat those specific spots with rust inhibitors to stop any further corrosion before we spray the new coating.
Is there a wide range of colors available if I want something other than standard white? Yes, you can choose from various shades to match your bathroom walls or tiles perfectly.
We source our resins and hardeners from industry leaders because we refuse to use cheap, thin products. You deserve a finish that resists chipping and keeps its vibrant appearance even with heavy daily water usage.
Our technicians undergo thorough training to ensure every coat is applied with the right technique and speed. This attention to detail shows in the final results, which always leave our customers smiling and satisfied.
When you look at the surface after we leave, you will see a smooth, consistent layer that feels great. It provides a level of comfort and satisfaction that makes your morning routine much more enjoyable.

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 Harwinton, 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.
