A dull or chipped tub in Kent 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.
Your old tub probably looks pretty tired after years of daily scrubbings and hot showers.
Instead of ripping out the entire fixture and spending thousands on messy renovations, you can choose a smart alternative that saves both your sanity and your wallet.
Our high-quality local resurfacing service restores that original shine in just a few hours so you can enjoy a fresh space immediately.
Think about the sheer annoyance of dealing with loud construction crews walking through your home for weeks.
This modern refinishing process bypasses all that chaos while delivering a gorgeous surface that looks brand new.
By choosing this path, you keep your existing cast iron or steel fixture right where it belongs while upgrading its look completely.
We believe in keeping things simple and honest, which is why our local team comes directly to your home to assess the situation.
When you request your free estimate, we look at the current state of your setup and give you a clear plan.
You get a beautiful, shiny finish without any hidden fees or surprise upcharges.
Many homeowners do not realize that the dull, stained surface on their tub is actually just worn-out glaze.
Over time, harsh chemical cleaners and abrasive sponges scratch the protective layer, which lets dirt settle deep into the pores.
Our specialized chemical bonding process seals those pores and creates a ultra-smooth barrier that resists future stains.
First, we meticulously clean the area with industrial-strength prep agents to strip away soap scum and old mineral deposits.
After that, we repair any deep chips or unsightly rust spots using waterproof fillers so the foundation is completely flat.
Then, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old material and our fresh topcoat.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of a high-performance acrylic polymer coating to build a durable defense.
This step requires a steady hand and professional ventilation equipment to keep your indoor air safe and clean.
Once the coating cures, you are left with a glittering finish that rivals the look of brand-new porcelain.
If you decide to replace your old fixture, you have to hire a plumber, a tiler, and maybe even a drywall specialist.
Those costs pile up incredibly fast, especially when you discover hidden water damage behind the old surround.
Opting for our surface restoration service eliminates these extra trade expenses and keeps your project budget under control.
On top of saving money, you also save an incredible amount of time.
A full bathroom remodel can easily drag on for a fortnight or even longer if parts get delayed.
Our skilled technicians usually finish the entire transformation in a single day, meaning your routine face minimal disruption.
| Project Aspect | Our Professional Resurfacing | Full Fixture Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Highly affordable and budget-friendly | Very expensive with hidden labor fees |
| Time to Complete | Typically done in 4 to 8 hours | Several days to weeks of loud construction |
| Mess & Debris | No demolition, zero landfill waste | Heavy dust, broken tiles, bulky trash |
| Durability | Lasts for many years with basic care | Depends on the quality of the new tub purchased |
Whether you own a heavy antique clawfoot tub or a standard fiberglass surround, we have the right formulas to treat them.
Different materials require specific primers to ensure the new layer sticks properly for the long haul.
For instance, cast iron needs a heavy-duty rust inhibitor, while acrylic requires a flexible primer that moves with the plastic.
Our team knows exactly how to handle these different surfaces because we see them every day in local homes.
We adjust our preparation steps based on what your fixture is made of to guarantee maximum adhesion.
This customized approach prevents peeling, bubbling, and cracking down the road.

Our goal is to leave your bathroom cleaner than we found it, with nothing left behind but a sparkling tub.
Once we finish our magic, maintaining that brilliant luster is actually incredibly easy.
You do not need to scrub until your arms hurt anymore because the new surface is non-porous.
Dirt and soap residue slide right off with a gentle rinse, saving you precious cleaning time every week.
We always advise our clients to throw away those abrasive bleach powders and scratchy green scrub pads.
Instead, you should use mild dish soap or a friendly spray cleaner paired with a soft microfiber cloth.
This simple habit preserves the brilliant shine and keeps the protective layer intact for over a decade.
Additionally, you should avoid leaving wet shampoo bottles or damp washcloths sitting directly on the surface for days.
Standing water can eventually break down even the toughest coatings over a long period of time.
Using a hanging shower caddy is an easy way to prevent this issue and keep your space looking organized.
You might wonder if your current fixture is a good candidate for our restoration process.
If you notice persistent discoloration that refuses to budge no matter how hard you scrub, the glaze is likely gone.
A rough, sandpaper-like texture when you sit down is another classic sign that the surface has degraded.
Small chips and minor cracks are also warning signs that should not be ignored.
Water can seep into these tiny openings and cause rust to form on cast iron or mold to grow on fiberglass.
Addressing these minor issues early with our repair process prevents costly leaks and structural damage later on.
Taking the first step toward a beautiful bathroom is completely risk-free and incredibly easy.
We offer a complimentary on-site evaluation where we inspect your fixture and discuss your aesthetic goals.

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 Kent, 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.
