Many homeowners confuse our specialized bonding system with simple painting, but they actually represent two completely different worlds. First, we strip away old soaps and oils using professional-strength cleaners to ensure the new layer sticks perfectly. Which means the fresh material bonds on a molecular level rather than just sitting loosely on top.
After prepping the area, we repair any deep gouges or rusty spots with durable waterproof fillers. This detailed prep work guarantees a perfectly flat foundation before we even open our spray guns. Then, we apply a high-performance chemical bonding agent that acts like superglue for the liquid acrylic topcoat.
Finally, we spray several thin layers of our premium glaze to build up a deep, brilliant luster. Since this material cures incredibly fast, you can start using your beautiful setup again in just a couple of days. This speedy turnaround lets you avoid the absolute nightmare of losing your main wash space for weeks on end.
Think about the massive headache of hiring plumbers, tile setters, and drywall contractors just to replace one heavy cast iron tub. On top of that, older homes often have unique layouts that make removing large fixtures practically impossible without breaking down doors. Our dust-free restoration service keeps your original structure intact while upgrading the look to modern standards.
This clever approach also keeps heavy, non-biodegradable materials out of our local landfills, making it a very green choice. Because we work quickly, you do not have to host a crew of strangers in your home for a whole week. You get the exact same visual upgrade for a tiny fraction of the cost of buying new.
To help you see the real benefits of our spray-on glaze compared to other common remodeling routes, we put together a simple comparison table.
| Project Type | Average Duration | Mess Level | Wallet Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | 1 to 2 Weeks | Extremely High | Very Expensive |
| Plastic Liners | 1 Day | Moderate | Pricey |
| Our Spray Glazing | 4 to 6 Hours | Very Low | Highly Affordable |

To keep that brilliant shine looking fresh for the next decade, you must treat the surface with a little bit of love. For starters, throw away those harsh abrasive scrubbing powders and scratchy green scrub pads. These rough tools will scratch the glossy finish over time, which makes the surface look dull and attracts dirt faster.
Instead, use mild liquid dish soaps or specialized foam cleaners along with a soft microfiber cloth. This gentle cleaning routine easily wipes away soap scum without hurting the protective topcoat. Doing this simple chore once a week ensures your wash space stays bright and pristine with minimal effort.
Also, make sure you fix any leaky faucets right away to prevent constant water dripping from wearing down the glaze in one spot. Standing water can slowly weaken even the toughest finishes over several years of constant exposure. A dry surface is a happy surface, so a quick wipe-down after your shower works wonders.
Never leave wet bath mats sitting on the bottom of your newly glazed basin for days at a time. The suction cups on those mats trap moisture underneath, which can eventually cause the fresh glaze to blister and peel. If you need slip resistance, we can easily apply a built-in slip-resistant texture right into the glaze during our application process.
Additionally, keep harsh chemicals like hair dyes, drain openers, and nail polish removers far away from your restored fixture. These strong solvents can dissolve the acrylic bonds and ruin the beautiful glassy look in seconds. If an accident does happen, flushing the area with cold water immediately can sometimes save the day...

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, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
