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.
Are you tired of looking at that ugly stain in your bathroom? Fixing it takes less time than you think.
Most folks living right here in Madison County, New York (NY), USA want a shiny tub without spending thousands. Fortunately, you can get a brand-new look with our professional on-site resurfacing service.
Tearing out a heavy cast iron basin is a massive nightmare. Instead of demolition, our crew sprays a durable bonding agent right over the old surface. This brilliant technique lets you save heaps of cash on labor.
Replacing fixtures usually destroys your surrounding tiles and floors. Meanwhile, our method keeps your bathroom intact while updating the color completely. Such a smart choice means you dodge weeks of messy construction chaos.
Old tubs often develop rough patches that trap stubborn dirt. By applying a fresh polyurethane topcoat, we create a slick shield. This smooth barrier gives you an easy-to-clean basin that sparkles every morning.
People always wonder how we make worn-out porcelain look factory-fresh again. First, we deep-clean the entire fixture to remove soap scum and body oils. Then, we etch the surface so the new liquid coating sticks permanently.
After prepping, we mask off your walls and floors with heavy plastic sheeting. Next, we spray a high-tech acrylic coating using specialized ventilation gear. This careful step provides you with a flawless, glossy finish that lasts for years.
Curing time usually takes around twenty-four hours before you can use the shower again. During this period, the chemical bonds lock tightly into place. Such advanced chemistry ensures you enjoy a chip-resistant tub without any peeling worries.
Homeowners face a tough choice when updating an outdated water basin. You can choose between full replacement or modern surface restoration. Check out this quick breakdown to see why saving your tub wins.
| Option | Average Cost | Time Required | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Demolition | Very High | Several Weeks | Extreme Dust |
| Our Resurfacing | Low Expense | Just One Day | Zero Mess |
Looking at those numbers makes the decision pretty simple for most local property owners. You keep your hard-earned money in your wallet where it belongs. Furthermore, you avoid dealing with contractors tearing up your plumbing lines.
Our gorgeous region features homes with deeply historic charm and lovely character. Many properties boast original vintage plumbing fixtures that deserve to be saved. Preserving these classic tubs lets you keep the authentic vibe of your house.
Neighborhoods spanning across our scenic county experience varying seasonal temperatures and humidity. These weather shifts can cause older materials to crack or lose their luster. Thankfully, our tough coatings handle local climate changes without breaking a sweat.
Home values in our specific part of the country benefit greatly from clean bathrooms. Buyers love walking into a house that features pristine, modern fixtures. Upgrading your basin gives you an instant boost in property appeal.
Small surface chips might look harmless at first glance. However, moisture creeps underneath the enamel and causes rust. Fixing these flaws early prevents expensive structural damage down the road.
Our technicians fill every single scratch with waterproof epoxy before spraying. This vital step guarantees a level foundation for the new finish. You get a strong repair that withstands daily heavy usage.
White remains the most popular choice because it brightens small bathrooms instantly. Alternatively, almond or biscuit tones bring a softer warmth to your decor. Selecting a custom hue lets you match your exact aesthetic preferences.
Glossy finishes reflect light and make cramped spaces feel much larger. Matte options offer a trendy modern look that hides water spots effortlessly. Either way, your updated basin becomes the star of the room.
Harsh chemical cleaners will ruin your new acrylic topcoat very quickly. Instead, you should stick to mild dish soap and a soft sponge. This simple habit keeps your investment shining bright for decades.
Dropping heavy glass bottles directly onto the porcelain can still cause damage. Always use rubber bath mats to cushion the bottom of the tub. Taking these precautions gives you peace of mind during every single shower.
Wiping down the walls after bathing prevents soap buildup from forming. Such minor maintenance saves you from doing heavy scrubbing later on. You spend less time cleaning and more time relaxing.
Is the spray odor terribly strong during the application process? We use powerful exhaust fans to vent fumes right out the window. This ensures your home stays fresh while we work our magic.
Will the new coating peel off when exposed to hot water? Our industrial-grade bonding agents create a permanent chemical weld to the porcelain. You enjoy reliable durability that laughs in the face of boiling bathwater.
Can you change a pink tub into a clean white one? Color transformations represent our absolute favorite type of project to tackle. You get a completely different look without buying a new fixture.
Waiting around with a stained tub only makes the eyesore worse. You deserve a gorgeous bathroom that makes you smile every morning. Why not take control of your remodeling project right now?

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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
