A dull or chipped tub in Madrid 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.
Are you tired of looking at that stained and cracked porcelain basin in your bathroom every single morning? You can actually save thousands of dollars by choosing to resurface your worn-out bathing vessel instead of replacing it entirely.
Replacing an old tub involves tearing out walls, hiring plumbers, and dealing with months of dust and debris. This intensive labor makes your house a construction zone for way too long. Conversely, our specialized coating technique creates a fresh, smooth surface in just a single day. You get a brand new look without the massive mess or the headache of a total demolition. It keeps your home life peaceful while delivering a high-end finish that feels like pure luxury.
Thinking about the cost, you should know that a full remodel in a small community like this one in Franklin County usually drains your savings. By choosing to restore the existing structure, you keep more money in your pocket for other home projects. This smart financial choice allows you to update your space while staying within a realistic budget. Most folks around here appreciate keeping things simple and cost-effective. You will definitely notice the difference in your bank account balance after selecting this path.
First, we strip away all the grime, soap scum, and old layers of paint that have built up over the years. This cleaning step ensures the new bonding agent sticks perfectly to the underlying structure. Then, we fill in any chips or deep scratches with a durable compound to create a flat plane. You will love how the surface feels once we finish because it is perfectly level and clean. It really changes the whole vibe of the room when the basin looks brand new again.
After preparing the surface, we apply several coats of a high-tech synthetic resin that cures into a rock-hard layer. This material is incredibly tough and resists water damage much better than the original finish ever could. It provides a hygienic barrier that makes cleaning your space an absolute breeze. You won't have to scrub for hours just to get rid of dark spots or stubborn stains anymore. Everything wipes off quickly, leaving you more time to enjoy your day.
Living in a small town like the one located in our beautiful Maine region means you value quality craftsmanship above all else. With a tiny population of around 173 people, we rely on word of mouth to build our reputation. You can trust that we treat every job with care because we want our neighbors to stay happy. The median household income varies, but everyone deserves a functional and beautiful home environment regardless of the numbers. Keeping your property in good shape protects your investment for the future.
When you look at your bathroom, you want it to offer a sense of physical ease and peacefulness. Our service makes sure you have a reliable place to unwind after a long day of work. Because we serve the zip code area locally, we are always nearby to answer your questions or handle your needs. You don't have to worry about contractors driving from hours away just to help you out. We are part of the local fabric and dedicated to keeping our neighborhood looking sharp.
Before we even start the application, we mask off all the surrounding tiles and fixtures to keep things clean. You don't have to stress about paint splatters on your floor or walls because we are super careful. This thorough protection keeps your bathroom safe while we perform our magic on the tub. Once the area is sealed, we use a professional sprayer to apply the finish evenly. This creates a uniform look that mimics the finest material quality without the heavy weight.
Following the spray, the material needs a specific amount of time to cure before you can use it. We give you clear instructions on how long to wait so the finish stays pristine for years. This short wait time is a small price to pay for a result that looks absolutely stunning. You will see how much brighter the room becomes once the reflective surface is back in place. It brings a level of refinement to your space that you previously thought was impossible to achieve on a budget.
Many people wonder if the new layer will peel or chip away after only a few short months. The answer is that with proper care, it lasts for many years without showing any signs of wear. You just need to avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing pads that might scratch the new finish. Using a soft sponge and mild soap keeps the surface looking brand new for a very long time. It is a straightforward way to maintain that perfect shine you just invested in.
Another concern is whether you can change the color during this process to match a new design. You absolutely can pick from a variety of shades if you want to update your room's style. Perhaps you want a crisp white look to make the space feel larger and more open. Or maybe you prefer a subtle off-white to blend with your existing tiles and fixtures. You have total control over the aesthetic outcome when you work with us on this upgrade.
If you try to buy a new tub, you have to find one that fits the exact dimensions of your space. This often leads to expensive custom ordering or annoying plumbing adjustments that push costs even higher. By choosing to resurface, you keep the original tub that already fits your bathroom perfectly. You avoid the stress of finding new parts or dealing with leaks from poorly installed plumbing. It is the most logical choice for anyone who wants a quick and effective update.

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 Madrid, 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.

The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
