A dull or chipped tub in Hillsdale 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.
Maybe you look at your bathroom every single morning and just sigh at those ugly, faded colors from some bygone decade. Fortunately, you do not have to spend a fortune on a massive demolition project to get that sparkling clean feeling back again. Our specialized surface restoration process breathes brand new life into your existing washing basin right where it sits. This means you save thousands of dollars while avoiding the dusty nightmare of a traditional remodel.
Actually, many homeowners do not realize that their old cast iron or steel tubs are incredibly durable and built to last. By applying a fresh, high-gloss protective coating over the worn material, we make the surface look incredibly smooth and brand new. This smart choice keeps heavy debris out of our local landfills while giving you a bright, clean space you can actually enjoy. You get to skip the noisy contractors tearing up your plumbing for weeks on end.
If you are ready to transform your space without the massive headache, we should talk about your project today. We happily travel right to your doorstep to evaluate your fixture and provide a detailed, cost-free price estimate. Let us help you fall in love with your home all over again, starting with the very room where you begin and end your day.
To understand why this method works so well, you have to look at the actual science behind modern bonding agents. First, we meticulously clean the old enamel to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and stubborn hard water deposits. This critical step ensures that the new synthetic porcelain finish sticks permanently to the original foundation. After we repair any deep chips or unsightly rust spots, we spray a premium topcoat that cures into a rock-solid shell.
As a result of this advanced technique, your fixture gets a non-porous barrier that actively resists mold and mildew buildup. Which means you will spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemical cleaners. On top of that, the finished product gleams with a gorgeous luster that rivals any brand new unit fresh from the showroom floor. You get the look of luxury without the premium price tag.

| Time to Complete | Finished in just a few hours | Takes several days or even weeks |

| Durability | Lasts for many years with basic care | Depends heavily on new material quality |
Now, you might wonder if your specific basin is a good candidate for this specialized cosmetic upgrade. Whether you own an old-school clawfoot model, a standard recessed alcove unit, or even a fiberglass shower surround, our proven process works wonders. We customize the bonding agents to match the exact material of your fixture for maximum longevity. This tailored approach guarantees a flawless bond that will not peel or bubble over time.

Initially, we set up a heavy-duty ventilation system to safely draw all odors and overspray out of your home. This protective measure keeps your indoor air clean and ensures your family stays perfectly safe and cozy while we work. Next, we carefully mask off your bathroom walls, floor, and vanity to shield them from any stray particles. We take preparation very seriously because a clean workspace is the key to a beautiful finish.
Once the area is secure, we apply a specialized etching acid to create microscopic pores in the old glazed surface. This step is crucial because it allows our proprietary molecular bonding agent to lock itself deep inside the original material. Then, we use professional spray equipment to apply multiple coats of high-performance acrylic urethane. The result is a seamless, glossy barrier that looks absolutely stunning.
To keep your renewed surface looking pristine, you only need to follow a few simple, common-sense maintenance rules. First, you must avoid abrasive scrubbing powders or bleach, which can dull the beautiful glossy finish over time. Instead, we recommend using mild liquid dish soaps or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners with a soft sponge. This easy routine keeps the surface slick and shiny without causing any micro-scratches.
Additionally, you should never leave wet bath mats sitting inside the basin for extended periods because they trap water underneath. This trapped moisture can eventually weaken the bond and cause premature wear on the new coating. By taking these simple precautions, you can expect your beautiful restoration to last for up to fifteen years. It is an incredibly easy way to protect your smart investment for the long haul.

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 Hillsdale, 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.
