A dull or chipped tub in Limington 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 can actually save thousands of dollars on your next bathroom remodel by choosing to refresh what you already have. Your current tub might look stained, chipped, or just plain ugly right now. This is where our specialized local service comes in to completely transform that worn-out surface into a shiny, clean masterpiece that looks like it just came from the showroom floor.
Instead of ripping out your entire setup and dealing with messy demolition, we apply a high-performance liquid coating directly over your existing fixture. This clever process solves your ugly bathroom problem in just a few hours. Which means you get to enjoy a sparkling clean space without the weeks of dust, loud noise, and expensive plumbing bills that usually come with a full renovation.
We want to make this upgrade as easy as possible for you today. By inviting us over to take a look, you will receive a free estimate tailored specifically to your home's needs. There is absolutely no pressure or obligation, so you can make the best decision for your budget and your peace of mind.
Many homeowners confuse this specialized coating process with simple DIY painting kits that you buy at the hardware store. Those cheap retail kits usually peel off within a few months because they lack the professional bonding agents required to fuse with porcelain or cast iron. Our process involves a heavy-duty chemical bonding system that permanently fuses our topcoat to your original fixture.
First, we meticulously clean the area with specialized acid cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. After that, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots using a waterproof polyester filler. This preparation stage is actually the most critical part of the whole job because it ensures the new finish will stick forever.
Next, we spray on a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor. On top of that primer, we apply several coats of an advanced acrylic urethane. This material cures into an incredibly hard, glossy shell that looks identical to brand new porcelain.
You might think that buying a cheap new tub at a big box store is a better option. However, the hidden costs of demolition, disposal fees, and hiring a licensed plumber will quickly destroy your budget. Oftentimes, workers have to tear down walls or widen doorways just to get the old heavy fixture out of your house.
This hassle gets even worse if you live in older homes with plaster walls and lead pipes. You could easily end up spending five times more than you originally planned. Our on-site service avoids all of these headaches by keeping your original, high-quality fixture right where it belongs.

We take great pride in helping our neighbors preserve the character of their homes while upgrading their daily living spaces. Older homes in Limington, Maine, often feature heavy, high-quality cast iron tubs that retain heat much better than modern plastic replacements. By restoring these durable vintage fixtures, you keep that classic quality while getting a clean, sanitary surface that is super easy to wipe down.
To help you compare your options, we put together a quick breakdown of how this process stacks up against a traditional remodel:
| Factor | Our Restoration Service | Traditional Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, usually saving up to 75% | Extremely expensive due to labor and plumbing |
| Time to Complete | Just 4 to 6 hours of on-site work | Typically 3 to 7 days of messy construction |
| Durability | Lasts 10 to 15 years with proper care | Varies, cheap plastic tubs scratch easily |
| Mess & Dust | Virtually none, we mask off the entire room | Heavy dust, drywall debris, and loud noise |
When you hire us, we treat your home with the utmost respect and care. We start by setting up a powerful exhaust fan system to vent all fumes safely outside through the nearest window. After that, we mask off your walls, floor, and vanity with heavy paper and tape to protect your belongings from any overspray.
Then, we remove the old caulking around the edges because the new coating will not stick to old silicone. We use specialized knives and solvents to get every single bit of old gunk out of the seams. This ensures a perfectly clean, watertight seal when we apply fresh caulk at the very end of the job.
Once the prep work is complete, we use a professional HVLP spray system to apply the shiny finish. This tool allows us to lay down a perfectly even, mirror-like coat without any brush marks or runs. You are left with a smooth surface that feels incredibly soft to the touch and looks absolutely gorgeous.
You must treat your glossy new finish with a little bit of respect to keep it looking great for years. Avoid using abrasive powder cleansers or harsh scrubbing pads that can dull the shiny topcoat over time. Instead, you should clean it with mild liquid soaps and a soft sponge, which is all you need anyway because the new surface is non-porous.
We also recommend avoiding bath mats with suction cups underneath them. Those little cups can pull on the new finish and eventually cause it to release from the substrate. If you follow these simple guidelines, your restored fixture will remain bright and beautiful for over a decade...

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 Limington, 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.
