A dull or chipped tub in Middletown 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.

Now, bathing in a scratched-up tub feels totally gross. This lets you avoid buying a brand new porcelain basin because the coating process saves cash. By updating your bath surface, you gain a gorgeous shiny finish without demolition mess.
Today, replacing a plumbing fixture costs an absolute fortune. Which means you waste thousands on unnecessary bathroom demolition work. Instead, spraying a fresh layer over the old shell gives you pristine results quickly.
Meanwhile, grime loves to hide in deep scratches. This prevents your bathroom from ever looking truly clean. Fixing that worn layer stops dirt from sticking in tiny pores.
First, we scrub the entire bathing unit until it shines. This ensures the bonding agent sticks permanently to the old porcelain.
Next, we apply a super strong chemical bond. This creates an unbreakable connection for the topcoat.
After that, the liquid acrylic goes on smooth. That leaves you with a stunning visual appeal that feels great against your skin.
| Feature | Old Way | Our Method |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | High | Low |
| Time | Weeks | Hours |
| Mess | Extreme | Minimal |
Previously, homeowners tore out their bathrooms entirely. But today, smart folks choose surface restoration instead.
Furthermore, traditional tearing ruins surrounding tile work. This forces you to spend extra money on wall repairs.
Conversely, our spray technique leaves your walls completely untouched. That saves you from endless contractor headaches and huge repair bills.
Living in our charming Allen County community brings unique home upkeep challenges. Specifically, this lovely town houses around 2,322 friendly neighbors. Many houses here boast vintage bathrooms built decades ago.
Naturally, the median household income means people watch their spending carefully. Therefore, throwing away money on full bathroom remodels makes zero sense. Residents living across ZIP codes 47356 prefer smart upgrades that stretch every dollar.
Because of this, local homeowners love affordable home improvements. Fixing up your bathing basin keeps your property value high without breaking the bank.
Many folks believe sprayed coatings peel off within months. However, modern bonding agents create a grip that lasts for many years.
Another myth claims the chemical smell lingers forever. In reality, proper ventilation clears the air in just a few hours.
Plus, cleaning the newly coated surface requires only mild soap. This spares you from scrubbing with harsh chemical bleaches.
Before we arrive, clear all personal items from the room. This gives our crew enough space to work efficiently.
Next, remove all shampoo bottles and hanging caddies. That ensures nothing gets in the way of our spray equipment.
Finally, keep pets locked safely in another room. This protects your furry friends from dust and fumes.
Do you see dull patches where the shine once lived? That means the protective glaze has worn completely away.
Perhaps brown rust stains bleed from the drain area. This indicates the underlying metal is beginning to corrode.
Whenever you notice these stubborn blemishes, action becomes necessary. Ignoring these problems leads to cracking porcelain and expensive leaks.
Hiring experienced local contractors guarantees top notch craftsmanship. We bring years of hands-on skill to every single job.
Unlike weekend warriors, we use industrial grade polyurethane coatings. This ensures your newly sprayed basin withstands daily family use.
Besides that, our team cleans up thoroughly before leaving. You simply walk into a spotless bathroom ready for action.
After we finish, you must use non abrasive cleaners. This protects the smooth finish from unwanted scratches.
Also, avoid using heavy rubber bath mats with suction cups. Those suction cups can pull at the fresh coating over time.
Instead, lay down a loose cotton towel for safety. That small habit preserves your glossy new surface for decades.
How long does the actual spraying take to finish? Usually, our hardworking crew completes the entire project in just a few hours.
When can you use the tub again safely? Typically, the new coating cures completely within twenty four hours.
Does the fresh color match existing tiles? Absolutely, we offer custom color matching to suit your exact decor.
Delaying simple cosmetic repairs leads to permanent structural damage. Water seeping through cracks eventually rots your subfloor.
Fixing structural rot requires expensive carpentry work. Therefore, acting today saves you from massive repair bills tomorrow.

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 Middletown, 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.
