A dull or chipped tub in Lincoln 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 look at your stained, chipped wash basin every single morning and feel a tiny piece of your soul wither away. Honestly, those ugly scratches and that faded 1970s avocado green color do not do anything to help you start your day with a smile. Fortunately, you do not have to spend a fortune on a messy demolition project because our specialized surface restoration process can make your existing fixture look brand new in just one day.
By choosing this smart alternative, you avoid the nightmare of tearing out walls and plumbing. This means you save thousands of dollars while still getting that glossy, clean finish you deserve. Let us explore how we can revive your bathroom without the headache of a major remodel.
Most folks think that when a tub gets ugly, it has to go straight to the landfill. However, our high-tech enamel resurfacing system chemically bonds a fresh, durable liquid acrylic coating right over your old porcelain or fiberglass. This process seals up all those annoying pores where dirt and mildew love to hide from your scrub brush.
Which means you get a sparkling, non-porous surface that cleans up with a simple wipe of a damp cloth. On top of that, the entire process takes less than a day from start to finish. You can literally bathe in your upgraded oasis the very next evening.
To help you understand the massive difference between our specialized process and a full replacement, we put together a quick comparison table.
| Factor | Our Specialized Coating Process | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable, budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden fees |
| Time to Complete | Usually finished in 4 to 8 hours | Can drag on for weeks or months | Mess and Stress | Minimal dust, no wall damage | Tons of drywall dust and loud noise |
If you have ever tried to price out a brand new bathing well, you know the sticker price is just the tip of the iceberg. Behind that low price tag hides the cost of the plumber, the tile guy, and the waste disposal fees. Our specialized topcoat application bypasses all those extra expenses by utilizing the strong structure you already have in place.
Actually, older cast iron tubs possess incredible heat retention that modern cheap plastic replacements simply cannot match. By choosing to preserve your heavy-duty original basin, you keep a high-quality piece of craftsmanship in your home. This lets you enjoy long, hot baths that stay warm way longer than they would in a flimsy new acrylic unit.
Naturally, some people worry about the durability of a sprayed-on finish. Because we use industrial-grade bonding agents, our cured coats resist peeling and cracking for many years to come. You just need to avoid abrasive bleach powders to keep that mirror-like shine looking gorgeous.
First, our friendly local technician arrives at your doorstep with all the specialized ventilation gear and professional tools. We start by thoroughly cleaning the area with industrial cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and body oils. After that, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to protect your vanity, toilet, and floors.
Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks using a heavy-duty polyester filler. Once the repairs dry smooth, we apply our proprietary chemical coordinator. This invisible agent creates a molecular bridge between the old surface and our new high-gloss topcoat.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of our premium aliphatic acrylic polyurethane coat using precision equipment. This careful spraying technique ensures a perfectly level, thick, and glassy finish without any ugly runs or brush marks. Once the curing process finishes, we remove all our masking tape and leave your bathroom cleaner than we found it.
Preserving the unique character of historic properties is incredibly important to homeowners living in Middlesex County.

If you live in the 01773 ZIP code, you know how crucial it is to maintain those classic interior details.
Our specialized fixture refinishing service allows you to keep those deep, vintage soaking basins that give historic homes their soul. Buying a modern replacement often means ruining the antique aesthetic of your space. With our help, you can honor the history of your property while enjoying modern cleanliness and ease of maintenance.
Since the median household income here is quite high, local homeowners appreciate smart investments that add real value to their properties. Keeping your original cast iron piece intact while upgrading its look is the ultimate way to spend wisely. You get the beauty of a luxury remodel without wasting money on unnecessary demolition contractors.
With proper care and simple cleaning habits, your newly coated basin can easily look spectacular for ten to fifteen years. You should avoid harsh scrubbing pads, suction cup mats, and abrasive chemical cleaners to prevent dulling the shiny topcoat. We always provide you with a clear, easy-to-follow care sheet so you know exactly how to protect your investment.
Because we use professional-grade coatings, there will be a noticeable paint-like smell while we apply the product. However, we bring powerful exhaust fans and flexible ductwork to vent the fumes directly out the nearest window. This high-volume ventilation setup quickly removes the vast majority of the odor, leaving your home smelling fresh again within a few hours after we packed up.
Yes, we can absolutely restore a fixture that has a failing, peeling DIY paint job or an old professional coating. We simply have to strip off the old, peeling layers down to the original surface before we can apply our new bonding system. This extra stripping step ensures our new coating adheres perfectly to a solid, stable foundation.

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 Lincoln, 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.
