A dull or chipped tub in Hollis 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.
Are you tired of staring at that ugly stained washing tub in your bathroom? Luckily, you can fix this eyesore without buying a totally new unit. This lets you save loads of cash for other fun projects around your house.
Instead of ripping out your plumbing fixtures, local pros come right to your spot. They apply a fresh chemical coating that makes old porcelain look completely pristine. Which means you get a gorgeous surface without living through a messy demo.
Technicians spray specialized bonding agents and strong acrylic topcoats onto your existing fixture. This creates a glossy layer that seals all cracks and hides nasty rust spots. As a result, cleaning becomes super easy because soap scum just slides right down the drain.
Most folks living in the 99950 ZIP codes want quick home upgrades that actually last. Happily, this entire chemical restoration process takes only a single afternoon to finish. Therefore, you can use your bathroom again within twenty four hours without any crazy delays.
Tearing out a heavy cast iron basin requires destroying surrounding tile walls and hiring expensive plumbers. However, coating the current structure leaves your plumbing untouched and fully intact. This saves you from dealing with unexpected structural damage behind the walls.
On top of that, buying brand new fixtures and paying for heavy labor costs a small fortune. Meanwhile, choosing a professional surface refresh keeps your bank account very happy. Consequently, you get a luxury look while spending a tiny fraction of that cash.
First off, workers set up heavy ventilation fans to clear out any strong fumes from the chemicals. Then they scrub every inch of your basin to remove years of built up soap oils. This ensures the new bonding primer sticks permanently to the old worn out enamel.
Following that deep clean, they tape off your surrounding tiles and floors to protect everything. Next comes the spraying phase where they lay down multiple coats of high gloss resin. Ultimately, your tub transforms into a shining centerpiece that rivals any brand new store model.
Living in the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area brings lots of damp weather and cold coastal winds. Because of this moisture, bathroom surfaces often suffer from mold growth and peeling paint over time. Fortunately, our waterproof sealants block out humidity completely to stop mold in its tracks.
Even though our tiny community has a cozy population of about 127 residents, home maintenance still matters. Everyone wants their living space to feel super cozy and completely spotless. That is why upgrading your washing basin gives your entire property an instant aesthetic boost.
When you look at the numbers, replacing a bathroom fixture costs thousands of dollars in total. By contrast, a chemical resurfacing job costs way less and yields identical visual results. This financial smartness leaves room in your budget for other household improvements.
| Project Type | Average Time Required | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | One to Two Weeks | Extreme Demo Mess |
| Surface Recoating | One Single Afternoon | Zero Structural Mess |
Looking at this data makes the smarter choice obvious for budget conscious homeowners. You avoid weeks of construction dust and unusable bathrooms. Plus, your freshly coated basin handles daily baths and showers like absolute champ.
Some people worry that painted surfaces will peel right off the first time they take a bath. However, modern bonding agents fuse on a molecular level with the original porcelain material. This means your new finish stays firmly attached through years of heavy scrubbing.
Another myth says the strong chemical smells linger inside your house for many weeks. Actually, professional extraction fans pull all odors outdoors while the technicians work on your project. Therefore, your indoor air stays fresh and breathable right after the crew leaves.
Taking care of your newly finished washing basin requires very little effort on your part. You simply need to use mild non abrasive cleaners instead of harsh scouring powders. This protects the glossy topcoat and keeps it shining bright for many years.
Avoid dropping heavy metal tools inside the basin because sharp impacts can chip any hard surface. Whenever you notice a minor scratch, professional touch up kits fix it instantly. Thus, your bathroom keeps looking like a million bucks with minimal upkeep.
While the median household income varies across rural regions, keeping repair costs low helps everyone immensely. Smart homeowners always look for ways to maximize their property value without overspending. Investing in local surface restoration delivers maximum visual impact for minimal investment.
Choosing local contractors also keeps your hard earned money circulating right inside your local community. These professionals understand the unique challenges of coastal living and bring the right tools. Consequently, you get honest service and lasting results right where you live.

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 Hollis, 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.
