A dull or chipped tub in Midland Beach 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.

Many homeowners confuse this specialized deep-refinishing process with simple painting, but the two methods are completely different. Actually, we use high-performance industrial coatings that chemically bond to your old cast iron, steel, or fiberglass basin. This meticulous process requires professional gear, precise ventilation, and serious safety masks to protect everyone involved.
First, our technicians strip away any old, peeling DIY paint jobs and scrub the surface with specialized acid cleaners. After that, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks with a heavy-duty polyester filler. This careful preparation ensures the new topcoat adheres flawlessly, preventing future peeling or bubbling under daily water pressure.
Once the base is totally smooth, we spray multiple layers of an advanced acrylic urethane resin. This chemical compound cures into an incredibly hard, glossy shell that resists hot water and daily scrubbing. Consequently, you get a gorgeous, easy-to-clean surface that looks identical to a brand-new factory-molded fixture.

Living in this beautiful coastal pocket of Staten Island means dealing with unique local home styles, from classic mid-century bungalows to newer semi-attached houses. Whether you reside near the scenic boardwalk or closer to Father Capodanno Boulevard, your home deserves high-quality craftsmanship. We proudly serve this tight-knit Richmond County neighborhood of 7,402 residents, where the median household income sits around $86,000.
Because many homes in the 10306 ZIP code feature gorgeous vintage tiling, replacing an old tub often means destroying historical charm. Our specialized service allows you to keep that character intact while upgrading the centerpiece of your bathroom. This means you preserve your plaster walls and vintage tiles while still enjoying a brilliant, bright white basin.
On top of that, we understand the local climate and how humidity from the nearby beach can affect curing times. Which is why our experienced technicians adjust their application techniques to guarantee a perfect, long-lasting finish every single time. You receive a durable, high-quality result tailored specifically to the unique conditions of your coastal New York home.
Choosing to renew your existing fixture rather than throwing it in a landfill is an incredibly eco-friendly decision. This choice prevents heavy cast iron and fiberglass from taking up valuable space in local waste facilities. Furthermore, you save massive amounts of energy that would otherwise go into manufacturing and shipping a heavy new replacement.
Another major advantage is the sheer speed of our on-site renewal process. While a standard remodeling contractor might leave your home dusty and unusable for a week, we get the job done in a single afternoon. This fast turnaround means your family can start using the freshly coated shower again after just twenty-four hours of curing time.
To top it all off, the finished surface is non-porous, making it highly resistant to mold, mildew, and stubborn soap scum. This benefit lets you spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemical cleaners. A simple wipe-down with a mild, non-abrasive soap is all it takes to keep that brilliant shine looking brand new.
Sometimes, your entire fixture does not need a complete makeover, but a few ugly rust spots near the drain ruin the whole look. Fortunately, we can patch and blend those specific problem areas to match the rest of your basin perfectly. This targeted fix saves you even more money while preventing water from seeping under the enamel and causing structural damage.
If you ignore those tiny chips, water will eventually eat away at the metal underneath, leading to expensive leaks. Addressing these small issues early keeps your bathroom safe, clean, and structurally sound for years to come. Our free estimate cover these smaller cosmetic touch-ups too, so you always know your options.
Taking care of your glossy new finish is incredibly simple, but it does require a slight change in your cleaning routine. You must avoid abrasive scouring powders, steel wool, or harsh bleach, as these can dull the protective topcoat over time. Instead, stick to gentle liquid cleaners and soft microfiber cloths to preserve that deep, glassy reflection.
Additionally, we highly recommend avoiding heavy plastic bathmats with suction cups underneath, which can pull at the new chemical bond. If you need extra grip, we can easily apply a permanent, slip-resistant texture directly to the bottom of the basin during the coating process. This helpful add-on keeps your family safe while protecting the integrity of your beautiful new surface.
Are you ready to say goodbye to that ugly, stained basin and hello to a sparkling clean bathroom? Our friendly local team is standing by to visit your home and evaluate your project in person. We provide clear, honest advice and a detailed price breakdown with absolutely no obligation or hidden fees.
This hassle-free process ensures you get the exact look you want without any unexpected surprises on the final invoice. Because we live and work right in your community, we take immense pride in delivering top-tier service to our neighbors. Reach out to us today to request your free estimate and take the first step toward a beautiful bathroom transformation!
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 Midland Beach, 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.
