A dull or chipped tub in Hudson 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.

By choosing to apply a fresh, durable synthetic finish over your worn-out cast iron or porcelain, you bypass the costly nightmare of hiring plumbers and tearing down walls. Which means you keep your hard-earned cash where it belongs while getting a shiny, clean surface that looks brand new.
If you want to skip the high costs of remodeling, we are here to help. Our team makes the entire process incredibly simple and hassle-free. To get started today, you can easily request a free estimate and find out exactly how affordable this upgrade can be for your home.
Most folks do not realize that the secret to a long-lasting finish lies in the tedious prep work. First, we strip away all the old soap scum, mineral deposits, and cheap DIY paint jobs that always fail. After that, we apply a specialized bonding agent that chemically fuses the new coating to the original substrate.
Next comes the fun part where we spray a high-tech acrylic urethane coating over the prepped area. This state-of-the-art material creates a non-porous barrier that resists scratches and chips. On top of that, you get to choose a modern color that matches your current decor perfectly.
To help you understand why this method beats replacing your fixture, we put together a quick comparison table below:
| Factor | Our Renewal Method | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden plumbing fees |
| Time to Complete | Only a few hours | Several days or weeks of messy construction |
| Mess & Stress | Virtually none, we clean up everything | Huge piles of drywall dust and broken tiles |
| Durability | Lasts for many years with proper care | Depends on the quality of the new cheap tub |
Living in this beautiful corner of Luzerne County means appreciating the historic charm of our local homes. Many houses in the neighborhood feature sturdy old fixtures that are built way better than the flimsy plastic units sold in big-box stores today. By restoring the original surface, you preserve that classic heavy-duty quality while enjoying a spotless clean look.
Because we operate right here in this tight-knit community of 1,362 residents, we treat every customer like our neighbor. We know that the local median household income sits around $75,547, which is why we focus on offering high-value solutions that do not break the bank. Our technicians arrive on time, respect your property, and finish the job with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Whether you reside in the local ZIP codes or nearby streets, our mobile service team comes directly to your doorstep. We bring all the professional ventilation equipment and premium materials needed to complete the job safely. This means you do not have to worry about harsh fumes lingering in your hallways after we pack up and leave.
Once you schedule your appointment, our skilled technician evaluates the condition of your fixture to identify any deep chips or rust spots. We patch these problem areas with water-resistant fillers so the final coat looks completely flat and seamless. This extra step ensures that moisture cannot sneak under the new finish and cause peeling later on.
After the repairs are complete, we carefully mask off the surrounding tiles, walls, and floors to protect them from overspray. We use commercial exhaust fans to pull any odors out of your house through the nearest window. Consequently, your home stays clean and safe throughout the entire application process.
To keep your sparkling surface looking pristine for a decade or more, you simply need to avoid abrasive cleaners. Bleach and harsh scrubbing pads will dull the shine over time, so we always recommend mild dish soap or gentle foaming cleaners instead. This simple routine protects your investment and keeps that glossy shine alive without any hard scrubbing.
Another great tip is to fix any leaky faucets as soon as possible. Constant dripping can wear down even the toughest industrial coatings over time. Taking care of small plumbing issues promptly will ensure your restored basin remains the highlight of your bathroom for years to come.
We understand that inviting contractors into your private space can feel a bit overwhelming at times. That is why we focus on clear communication and friendly service from the very first phone call. We want you to feel confident and informed about every single step of the process.

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 Hudson, 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.
