A dull or chipped tub in Laurys Station 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.
You wake up every single morning and look at that faded, scratched basin where you wash away your daily stress. Now, imagine transforming that dull, outdated fixture into a gleaming, smooth masterpiece in just a single afternoon. Our professional surface restoration service brings that dream directly to your home with zero mess and none of the massive costs of a full remodel.
This budget-friendly magic instantly revives your worn-out wash basin by applying a high-tech, durable new coating over the existing structure. Honestly, you do not need to tear out walls or hire expensive plumbers when a simple, masterful resurfacing job does the trick. You get a space that looks brand new while keeping your hard-earned cash in your wallet where it belongs.
When you choose this smart alternative, you avoid the noisy, dusty chaos of traditional construction projects. Which means you can keep your daily routine intact without workers tracking dirt through your hallways for weeks on end. We love helping homeowners fall in love with their spaces again by delivering top-tier craftsmanship right to your doorstep.
Let us look at the real numbers because your wallet deserves a break. Replacing an old tub usually involves ripping out tiles, updating old pipes, and paying heftily for disposal fees. This affordable recoating process bypasses all those nightmare steps by upgrading your existing fixture in place.
On top of that, the entire process takes less than a day from start to finish. This speedy turnaround lets you use your upgraded bathroom almost immediately instead of waiting around for tiled walls to dry. You save precious time and bypass the massive headaches that always seem to pop up during home demolition projects.
Moreover, older fixtures often boast incredibly sturdy construction made of heavy cast iron or high-quality steel. By choosing to recoat rather than replace, you preserve these durable classic pieces that are far tougher than modern cheap plastic tubs. You get to keep that heavy-duty quality while enjoying a fresh, sparkling clean surface that feels amazing to touch.
First, we meticulously clean the old surface using specialized agents to strip away decades of soap scum, hard water deposits, and body oils. This crucial prep work ensures that the new bonding agents stick permanently to the underlying material. If you skip this step, your new finish will peel off like a cheap sticker, which is why we take our sweet time here.
Next, we repair any deep scratches, ugly chips, or rusted spots with heavy-duty waterproof fillers. After sanding everything down to a silky smooth state, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically fuses the new layer to the old one. This advanced chemical bond acts like superglue, creating a foundation that stands up to years of hot showers and bubble baths.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of an industrial-strength acrylic polymer coating using specialized high-volume, low-pressure equipment. This precise technique creates an incredibly glossy, non-porous topcoat that resists stains and looks absolutely gorgeous. This protective shield makes cleaning a breeze because dirt and grime simply slide off the ultra-smooth finish.

This customized care ensures that your older drains and vintage fixtures receive the exact treatment they need to shine once again. You get peace of mind knowing that experienced hands are handling your home improvement project with local pride.
To keep your newly coated surface looking spectacular, you must ditch those abrasive scouring powders and harsh bleach cleaners. These rough chemicals can wear down the beautiful glossy finish over time, making it look dull and lifeless. Instead, you should use mild dish soap or gentle foaming cleaners with a soft sponge to keep it clean.
Another helpful trick involves wiping down the surface with a soft towel after your daily shower or bath. This quick habit prevents mineral deposits from building up and keeps that brilliant shine looking brand new for years. You will find that cleaning your bathroom becomes a satisfying, effortless chore rather than a dreaded weekend workout.
Lastly, avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy metal cans sitting directly on the newly sealed surface for long periods. Using a simple hanging shower caddy protects your investment and prevents any potential discoloration from standing water. These tiny adjustments to your routine ensure that your gorgeous, restored fixture remains a source of pride in your home.

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 Laurys Station, 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.
