A dull or chipped tub in Ireland Corners 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.

Think about the sheer nightmare of ripping out an old heavy basin from your bathroom walls. You usually have to break tiles, mess up the plumbing, and hire expensive contractors for days on end. That headache disappears completely when our crew applies a high-performance liquid compound right over your current fixture.
This clever process seals up ugly stains, chips, and hairline cracks permanently. Because we use specialized bonding agents, the new layer fused to the old material will not peel or bubble under daily use. You get to keep your sturdy, original structure while enjoying a clean, modern look that feels incredibly smooth.
On top of that, your wallet will thank you for choosing this economical route. The typical cost to replace a washing unit can easily spiral into thousands of dollars once you factor in labor. Our budget-friendly alternative gives you the exact same visual result for a fraction of that price.
| Project Factor | Full Replacement | Our Protective Coating |
|---|---|---|
| Average Time | 3 to 5 Days | 4 to 6 Hours |
| Mess Level | High Demolition | Very Low & Contained |
| Total Cost | Very Expensive | Highly Affordable |
First, we clean the old surface with industrial-strength solutions to strip away soap scum and mineral deposits. This preparation step is absolutely critical because the new topcoat needs a pristine foundation to stick correctly. We take our time to patch up any deep dings or rust spots we find along the way.
Next, we apply a proprietary chemical primer that acts like superglue between the old porcelain and our new glaze. This chemical bond ensures the shiny finish remains intact for many years to come. Then, we use professional spray equipment to lay down multiple thin, even coats of high-gloss acrylic urethane.
After the final layer cures, your wash basin will boast a brilliant shine that resists scratches and staining. You will find that keeping the surface clean becomes much easier because the non-porous glaze prevents dirt from sinking in. We also offer a slip-resistant texture for the bottom of the basin to help keep you safe.
Living in this lovely part of Ulster County means dealing with unique local water conditions that can stain fixtures over time. Hard water minerals love to cling to old, porous porcelain, leaving behind ugly orange and brown trails. Our advanced coating creates an impenetrable barrier that keeps those stubborn mineral deposits from bonding to your tub.

If you are planning to sell your home soon, an ugly bathroom can seriously scare away potential buyers. Investing in our top-tier glaze restoration instantly boosts your property value and makes your bathroom look incredibly inviting. It is one of the smartest cosmetic updates you can make to get a high return on investment.
Even if you plan to stay in your home forever, you deserve a peaceful, attractive space to unwind after a long day. Imagine soaking in a bright, clean basin that looks like it belongs in a high-end luxury resort. Our color-matching options let you choose a classic bright white, a soft biscuit tone, or even a modern gray.
To be completely fair, we want you to know exactly what to expect from this restoration service. While the process is incredibly fast and affordable, you must let the new glaze cure fully before running any water. This drying period usually takes about twenty-four hours, meaning you will need to use another shower for one night.
Additionally, you must avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners like bleach powders or scratchy green pads on your newly glazed surface. Gentle liquid soaps and a soft washcloth will keep your basin looking brand new without dulling the gorgeous shine. Following these simple care guidelines ensures your beautiful finish lasts for well over a decade.
On the bright side, this process is highly eco-friendly because we keep heavy cast iron fixtures out of local landfills. By restoring what you already have, you reduce waste and minimize your carbon footprint significantly. It is a win-win scenario for both your household budget and the beautiful environment we share.
Before our professional technician arrives at your doorstep, we ask that you clear out all personal items from the bathroom. Removing towels, rugs, toiletries, and shower curtains helps us keep the workspace clean and dust-free during the application. This simple preparation ensures a flawless, smooth finish without any floating debris landing in the wet glaze.
We also ask that you repair any leaky faucets ahead of time so water does not drip onto our fresh work. Once the prep is done, you can sit back and relax while we handle all the tedious masking and spraying. Our powerful exhaust fans will vent any paint-like odors safely out of your window during the application process.
Do not spend another week ignoring that eyesore in your bathroom when a simple solution is just a click away. Our friendly team is ready to answer all your questions and guide you through the exciting design choices. We take pride in our honest pricing, reliable scheduling, and gorgeous, long-lasting results.

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 Ireland Corners, 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.
