A dull or chipped tub in Lyndhurst 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.

Let us handle the hard work while you sit back and think about that first relaxing soak in a pristine basin.
Most folks do not realize that the secret to a flawless finish lies entirely in the prep work. If a worker just sprays paint over your old soap scum, the new layer will peel off faster than a bad sunburn. That is why our crew spends hours cleaning, etching, and repairing every single microscopic crack before we even touch our spray guns.
During the initial phase, we apply a specialized acid paste to strip away decades of body oils and hard water deposits. This critical step creates a rough, porous texture on the old enamel so the new bonding agents can stick forever. After that, we patch up any deep chips or rust spots with a waterproof polyester filler that cures in minutes.
Once the surface is completely flat and dry, we lay down a proprietary molecular bonding primer. This advanced chemical acts like double-sided tape, anchoring the topcoat to the underlying structure. Finally, we spray multiple layers of premium aliphatic polyurethane acrylic, which cures into a rock-hard shell that resists impact and stains.
You might see those cheap paint-on kits at the local hardware store and think you can tackle this project over the weekend. However, those retail epoxy products are incredibly thin and tend to turn a nasty shade of yellow within six months. They also lack the specialized leveling agents that prevent ugly brush marks and runs from ruining your view.
On top of that, the fumes from professional-grade chemicals require heavy-duty ventilation equipment to keep your family safe. Our team uses industrial exhaust fans with flexible ducting to pull all the overspray and odors out of your house. This setup protects your lungs and ensures that no dust particles settle into the wet coating while it dries.
Replacing a built-in tub is a massive construction project that often spirals out of control. Once you start tearing out the old unit, you almost always find hidden water damage, mold, or outdated plumbing behind the drywall. Suddenly, a simple cosmetic upgrade turns into a multi-week construction headache that drains your bank account.
Choosing our specialized coating service keeps your bathroom fully functional and avoids the need for expensive permits. We complete the entire process in less than a day, and you can usually use your shower again after just twenty-four hours. This quick turnaround is perfect for busy households with only one bathroom to share.
Let us look at a quick comparison to see how this option stacks up against traditional remodeling:
| Project Factor | Our Specialized Coating Service | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Highly affordable, usually under a grand | Several thousand dollars plus labor |
| Time to Complete | Finished in 4 to 6 hours | One to two weeks of loud construction |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal, fully contained workspace | Plaster dust everywhere in your home |
| Durability | Lasts 10 to 15 years with proper care | Long-lasting but extremely high upfront cost |
This table clearly shows why so many homeowners choose to restore rather than replace. You save time, money, and your sanity while achieving the exact same visual result. Our high-gloss finish brings back that clean, inviting atmosphere you deserve.
We are proud to serve the hardworking residents of this historic community situated right along the Passaic River. With a local population of around 20,554 people, we know that many homes in this area feature charming mid-century architecture. These older houses often contain high-quality cast iron fixtures that are absolutely worth saving.
Whether you live near the beautiful county park or closer to the bustling commercial corridors, our trucks are always nearby. We understand the unique layout of homes in the 07071 ZIP code, from classic colonials to modern apartments. Our team arrives on time, respects your property, and leaves your space cleaner than we found it.
Since the median household income here is quite strong, local families appreciate smart investments that boost property value. Restoring your existing fixtures is one of the highest-return home improvement projects you can undertake. It instantly modernizes your bathroom, making your entire home feel more valuable to future buyers.
To keep your glossy new surface looking spectacular for years to come, you must ditch those abrasive scrubbing powders. Harsh chemicals and scratchy green pads will dull the finish over time, making it harder to clean. Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or a gentle foaming bathroom cleaner with a soft microfiber cloth.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or damp washcloths sitting on the ledge. Standing water can eventually weaken the bond between the new coating and the original substrate. Simply wiping down the edges after your shower will keep the surface looking brand new for a decade or more.

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 Lyndhurst, 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.
