A dull or chipped tub in Naples 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.
Do you look at your tired bathroom basin and feel totally depressed by the stubborn stains? Well, instead of buying a whole new tub, you can easily save a ton of cash by calling a local pro who fixes these exact problems right on site. This clever method of surface restoration breathes new life into scarred porcelain without draining your bank account.
Most homeowners in Ontario County struggle with dull, chipped, and hard-to-clean basins that make the whole room look outdated. Fortunately, our crew steps right in to spray a fresh, shiny coating over the old damage, making your washing spot look brand new. This lets you skip the messy demolition work and enjoy a gorgeous bathing area by tomorrow afternoon.
Nearly all of the 1,033 friendly residents living in the local 14512 ZIP codes deal with mineral-heavy well water that ruins porcelain finishes over the years. Plus, dealing with a median household income of $39,375 means you probably want to stretch every single dollar as far as it can possibly go. Because of this, opting for surface renewal instead of a full replacement keeps your budget intact while still giving you that upscale look you crave.
What exactly happens during this chemical transformation of your old wash basin? First, our trained technicians meticulously scrub away decades of grime and soap scum using heavy-duty industrial cleaners. Then, we repair any deep chips or nasty cracks with a specialized waterproof filler that hardens like rock.
Once the base is smooth, we apply a powerful bonding agent that grips onto the old porcelain for dear life. Following that step, we spray several coats of high-grade acrylic polyurethane to build a thick, glossy shield. This gives you a pristine surface that resists mold and makes Saturday morning scrubbing sessions a total breeze.

| Time Needed | Several Weeks | Just One Day |
| Mess Level | Massive Chaos | Clean and Tidy |
Many folks assume ripping out a cast-iron tub is the only way to modernize a dated bathroom. However, that destructive path usually wrecks your surrounding tiles and requires hiring expensive plumbers and carpenters. Meanwhile, our surface revival service happens entirely inside your existing space without destroying your walls.
Each project we handle utilizes industrial-grade coatings that cure into a rock-hard, non-porous barrier. This ensures your newly revived washing vessel will withstand daily showers and boisterous kids for many years without peeling. On top of that, you avoid weeks of construction dust floating through your living quarters.
Have you ever spotted those cheap tub-painting kits sitting on the big box store shelves? Regrettably, those retail formulas lack the necessary chemical catalysts to bond properly with porcelain or fiberglass. Using them typically results in a sticky, uneven mess that peels away the very first time you take a hot bath.
Professional applications require specialized ventilation equipment and industrial spray guns to achieve that factory-smooth finish. Without proper training, you might trap dust motes under the coating and ruin the aesthetic appeal entirely. Therefore, trusting a seasoned local trade professional saves you from doing the job twice.
How do we start this exciting journey toward a gorgeous new bathing area in your home? First, you reach out to our team to request a completely free estimate with zero hidden fees attached. Next, we arrive right at your doorstep to inspect the damage and explain the exact restoration process.
During the actual project day, we set up industrial exhaust fans to clear out any strong chemical odors immediately. This lets you stay inside your house comfortably while our specialist works magic on your old plumbing fixture. Before you know it, the drying phase finishes, and you get to run your first luxurious bath.
Will this new shiny coating really hold up against your boisterous household routine? Absolutely, because our premium chemical bonding agents create an unbreakable molecular grip with the original substrate underneath. As a result, you get a surface that resists chipping and scratching much better than factory paint.
Maintaining your revived basin requires nothing more than gentle dish soap and a soft microfiber sponge. Never use abrasive scouring pads or harsh bleach powders because they will dull the glossy shine over time. Following these simple care instructions lets you preserve that stunning showroom brilliance for well over a decade.

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 Naples, 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.
