A dull or chipped tub in Montvale 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.
Your old tub looks downright awful. Perhaps you see ugly stains, faded colors, or even a few nasty chips that make you want to keep the shower curtain closed forever. Replacing the whole thing costs a small fortune and creates a massive pile of dusty rubble in your home.
Fortunately, there is a brilliant way to restore that shiny, smooth finish in just a few hours. By applying a fresh, durable liquid coating directly over your existing fixture, we make the entire surface look brand new again. This smart technique saves you thousands of dollars while completely transforming your space.
Our skilled local team specializes in this exact restorative process. We bring all the necessary tools right to your doorstep to deliver a flawless, high-gloss surface. To get started on your home upgrade, simply request a free estimate from us today.
Think about the sheer chaos of a full bathroom remodel. You have to hire plumbers, pay for expensive demolition, and wait days for the work to finish. Plus, ripping out an old cast iron or steel tub often damages your floor tiles and drywall. This creates extra repairs that drain your wallet fast.
Choosing our specialized coating method avoids all those headaches. We complete the entire transformation in less than a day. That means you can use your bathroom again almost immediately without living in a construction zone. It is the ultimate shortcut to a beautiful home.
Additionally, this process is incredibly eco-friendly. By renewing the fixtures you already own, you keep heavy, non-biodegradable materials out of our local New Jersey landfills. You get to enjoy a sparkling clean bathroom while doing something great for the planet.
Let us look at how the two options compare side by side:
| Project Factor | Full Replacement | Our Restoration Service |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very high (often $3,000 to $8,000) | Highly affordable (fraction of replacement cost) |
| Time to Complete | Several days or even weeks of noisy work | Usually finished in just 4 to 6 hours |
| Mess and Dust | Massive amount of drywall dust and debris | Virtually none, with careful area masking |
| Durability | Depends on the new material quality | Stays beautiful for up to 10-15 years with proper care |
First, we meticulously clean the entire area to remove decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This step is crucial because even the tiniest speck of dirt can ruin the final look. We use specialized cleaners that strip away everything down to the original surface.
Next, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots using a high-grade waterproof filler. After sanding those spots flat, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue for our topcoat. This ensures the new finish sticks permanently without peeling or bubbling later on.
Finally, we spray several layers of our premium, high-gloss acrylic coating using professional ventilation equipment. This advanced material cures into an incredibly hard, glossy shell. Once we finish, your old fixture will look and feel exactly like brand-new porcelain.
Many homeowners worry that their specific fixture is too old or made of the wrong material to be saved. Luckily, our specialized liquid compounds bond perfectly to a wide variety of common household surfaces. Whether you have an antique cast iron basin or a modern synthetic setup, we can fix it.
We regularly restore classic porcelain, heavy cast iron, pressed steel, fiberglass, and even gelcoat surfaces. Each material requires a slightly different preparation method, but the final, gorgeous result is always the same. You get a uniform, high-gloss finish that looks incredibly sleek.
Caring for your newly coated fixture is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, porous one. Because the new non-porous surface resists dirt and grime, you do not need to use harsh abrasive powders anymore. In fact, steel wool or bleach will actually dull the beautiful shine over time.
Instead, simply wipe down the area with a mild, liquid dish soap and a soft sponge after use. This gentle routine keeps the protective layer intact and preserves the deep, reflective gloss. With this simple upkeep, your restored fixture can easily last for well over a decade.
Our local community values quality craftsmanship and reliable service above all else. Nestled in a beautiful area with a population of 8,438, local homeowners appreciate smart investments that preserve their gorgeous properties. We love helping families upgrade their spaces without the stress of major construction.

With a median household income of $128,641, residents here understand the true value of high-quality home maintenance. Our services offer the perfect blend of luxury looks and sensible budgeting.
Whether you live near the local schools, parks, or quiet residential avenues, our team is always nearby. We arrive on time, respect your property, and clean up every bit of mess before we leave. You can trust our local reputation for delivering stunning results every single time.
You might wonder about the smell of the chemicals during the application process. It is true that the bonding agents and topcoats have a very strong odor while we spray them. However, we bring powerful exhaust fans and suction tubes to vent the fumes directly outside your home.
Another common question is whether the new finish will look fake or painted on. Because we use professional spray equipment instead of brushes or rollers, the finish is completely smooth. There are no brush strokes, run lines, or uneven patches to worry about.
Sometimes, very old fixtures have severe rust around the drain area that looks impossible to fix. We can actually grind that rust away, treat the metal, and rebuild the missing sections before applying the topcoat. This saves you from having to call an expensive plumber to replace the pipes.
Ready to finally get rid of that ugly, stained surface and enjoy a bright, clean space again? We make the entire process incredibly simple and stress-free from start to finish. Our friendly team is ready to answer any questions you have about the process.

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 Montvale, 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.
