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.
Imagine stepping into your bathroom and seeing a truly sparkling bath, not that dingy old thing you've been putting up with. It's totally possible to get that fresh, like-new look without having to rip out your entire bathroom. So, let's chat about how we bring that tired bathing fixture back to life, making your bathroom feel brand spanking new.
First off, nobody likes a worn-out, stained tub. Seriously, it's just a bummer to look at when you're trying to unwind. That's why we offer a fantastic way to revitalize your bathing space, making it shine again without the massive headache of a full renovation project.
Furthermore, think about the sheer amount of time you spend looking at that big fixture in your bathroom. If it's got cracks, chips, or just looks generally sad, it probably makes you feel a little sad too, or at least kinda grossed out. Which means getting that surface transformation process done can seriously boost your mood every single time you walk in there.
Therefore, it's not just about prettying up the place for show. Believe it or not, a smooth, fresh surface on your tub is way easier to keep clean than a rough, pitted one that grabs onto every speck of dirt. This actually allows for a much more hygienic environment, letting you enjoy a truly spotless soak.
To begin with, ripping out an old tub is a huge deal, a real beast of a job. It means dust everywhere, workers stomping through your house, and probably not having a functioning bathroom for what feels like forever. On the flip side, getting your existing bath revitalized is a much quicker and cleaner operation, letting you get back to your normal routine super fast.
Consequently, you're saving yourself a ton of hassle and a massive mess. Plus, when you consider the cost, getting a new coat for your old tub is typically way less expensive than buying a brand-new fixture and paying for all that demolition and installation. So then, you keep more cash in your wallet, which is pretty sweet, right?
Now, you might be wondering, "How do they even do that?" Well, it's not rocket science, but it's definitely an art mixed with some serious science. First, we clean that tub within an inch of its life, getting rid of all the gunk, soap scum, and anything else clinging on for dear life. Which means we create the perfect super-clean canvas for the new surface to stick to.
Next up, any dings, chips, or cracks get filled and smoothed out. Imagine trying to paint over a bumpy wall; it just wouldn't look good. Similarly, getting that surface just right before the actual surface treatment ensures a flawless, even finish that looks absolutely professional.
Then, we apply a special primer that acts like a super-strong glue, making sure the new surface material bonds like crazy to your old tub. This really lets that new finish hold on tight and last for years, giving you peace of mind that it won't peel or flake off anytime soon.
Finally, the real magic happens: we spray on several layers of a tough, durable coating. This isn't just regular paint; it's a specialized material designed to stand up to heat, water, and daily use. As a result, your tub gets a tough, slick shield that resists future stains and damage, bringing life back to your old tub.
Think about it: how can you truly relax in a bath that looks like it's seen better days, maybe a lot better days? That ugly, stained surface just screams "ew" rather than "ahhh," doesn't it? However, with a fresh, glossy finish, your bathing space transforms into a peaceful oasis, letting you actually enjoy your soak.
Moreover, a smooth surface feels so much nicer against your skin than a rough, gritty one. Picture sinking into a warm bath with a pristine, almost silky surface beneath you. Therefore, this subtle but significant upgrade seriously enhances your bathing pleasure, giving you a truly delightful experience.
By the way, this whole surface renewal for your bathing space isn't just for classic bathtubs. Oh no, we can actually work our magic on shower pans, sinks, and even tile surrounds too! This versatility lets you update multiple surfaces in your bathroom with a consistent, beautiful finish.
For example, if your shower pan is looking scuffed and sad, we can bring that back to life right along with your tub. Ultimately, this means your entire bathroom can get a coordinated makeover, creating a more cohesive and appealing look without busting your budget. What a difference, right?
Interestingly, you're not stuck with just plain white when it comes to revitalizing that worn-out fixture. While white is super popular and classic, there are actually a bunch of color options available to match your bathroom's vibe. This flexibility lets you truly personalize your space, making it uniquely yours.
Furthermore, imagine matching your newly refreshed tub to your wall color or existing fixtures for a truly custom feel. Therefore, you can create a harmonious design that makes your bathroom feel more put-together and stylish, allowing your personality to shine through. Seriously though, the possibilities are pretty cool.

However, just like anything nice, it needs a little love and care. We'll give you the lowdown on how to clean your newly transformed tub so it stays sparkling and pristine. This simple care routine lets you easily maintain its fresh look, ensuring your investment truly pays off over time.
For instance, harsh abrasive cleaners are a big no-no. They can be rough on the new surface and shorten its lifespan. Instead, using gentler, non-abrasive cleaners will keep that glossy finish looking fantastic, letting you enjoy its beauty for ages. It's really not much different than caring for any other nice fixture.
Believe it or not, getting a new coat for your old tub is actually a pretty green choice. Think about all the old tubs that end up in landfills, just sitting there for centuries. Well, when you renew your existing fixture, you're keeping that old tub out of the trash heap.
Which means you're doing your part for the environment, reducing waste and conserving resources. This eco-friendly approach not only gives you a beautiful bathroom but also contributes to a healthier planet, letting you feel good about your choice in more ways than one.

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, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
