A dull or chipped tub in New Hampton 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.

Actually, many homeowners think they need to rip out a chipped, stained basin when it starts looking gross. This costly mistake usually leads to broken wall tiles and plumbing headaches that drain your wallet fast. Fortunately, our specialized surface restoration process offers a brilliant alternative that makes everything look brand new again.
By choosing this smart update, you avoid the messy chaos of a full remodel while keeping more money in your pocket. We clean the area thoroughly and apply a high-tech bonding agent to ensure the new finish sticks forever. This means you get a glossy, bright basin that resists stains and looks incredibly sharp.
On top of that, our proven method takes only a few hours instead of weeks of construction noise. You can literally use your upgraded shower the very next day without dealing with grumpy contractors lingering in your home. It is the ultimate shortcut to a clean bathroom that feels fresh and inviting.
Living in a cozy community of 3,445 people means we value practical solutions that do not break the bank. Local families earning the median household income of $43,333 deserve top-tier home improvements that offer real value. Our reliable service brings modern updates directly to your doorstep in this beautiful corner of the state.
Whenever we visit homes near the local parks, we see gorgeous older houses with solid cast iron fixtures. These classic pieces possess amazing character but often suffer from dull finishes, scratches, or ugly color schemes from past decades. We specialize in preserving that vintage durability while giving the outer layer a complete cosmetic upgrade.
This convenient service fits perfectly into busy schedules because we respect your time and property. Our friendly crew masks off your entire bathroom to protect your walls, floor, and vanity from any overspray. You get a flawless, factory-like shine without a single speck of dust left behind in your home.
First, we strip away old DIY paint jobs and stubborn soap scum using safe, professional-strength cleaners. This critical preparation step guarantees the new coating anchors deeply into the original porcelain or fiberglass. Without this deep clean, any new finish would peel off within a few short months.
Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks with a specialized waterproof filler. We sand these spots completely flat so you can never feel where the damage used to be. Which means your bare feet will only touch a smooth, seamless surface when you step in for a shower.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of an advanced acrylic urethane coating using high-volume, low-pressure equipment. This advanced technique creates a thick, resilient barrier that mimics original fired porcelain perfectly. Consequently, your old fixture gains a lustrous shine that repels grime and cleans up with simple soap.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time to Complete | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Very High | 3 to 7 Days | Extremely Dusty |
| Plastic Liners | Medium-High | 1 to 2 Days | Low (But risks mold) |
| Our Specialized Coating | Very Low | 4 to 6 Hours | Virtually None |
As you can see, our restoration path wins on every single front. You keep your original heavy-duty tub while avoiding the structural risks of tearing out your subfloor. This smart choice protects your home value and keeps unnecessary debris out of our local landfills.
Furthermore, plastic liners often trap water underneath, which creates a smelly breeding ground for black mold. Our sprayed-on finish bonds directly to the substrate, leaving absolutely no gaps where moisture can hide. You enjoy a healthier, cleaner breathing environment for your kids and pets.
To keep your sparkling basin looking incredible for years, you simply need to avoid abrasive bleach powders. Soft sponges and mild liquid dish soaps work best to wipe away weekly grime without scratching the glossy topcoat. This easy maintenance routine ensures your investment remains bright and beautiful for a very long time.
Actually, harsh scrubbing pads will dull any shiny surface over time, including brand new store-bought fixtures. By using gentle cleaners, you preserve that mirror-like reflection that makes your bathroom look so luxurious. Your guests will definitely think you spent a fortune on a brand new remodel.
If you ever drop a heavy tool and chip the surface, do not panic because we can easily touch it up. Unlike molded plastic surrounds, our durable coating can be spot-repaired quickly without replacing the whole unit. This long-term flexibility gives you total peace of mind for the future of your home.

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 New Hampton, 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.
