A dull or chipped tub in Newmarket 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.
You probably stare at that stained, chipped, or outdated porcelain basin every single morning while wondering how to fix it without spending a fortune. Replacing those heavy fixtures involves demolition, plumbing disasters, and weeks of dust, but there is a much easier way to get that brand new look right now.
Instead of ripping everything out, you can choose to have those worn surfaces chemically treated and sprayed with a fresh, durable polymer finish that looks like glass. This clever process makes your old wash area look shiny, bright, and clean, which saves you thousands of dollars compared to a total renovation.
Once you see the results, you will wonder why you ever considered tearing your bathroom apart in the first place. You can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that your home value just went up without the headache of construction crews lingering in your house for an entire month.
Many folks think they can just pick up a box from the hardware store and paint their tub themselves on a Saturday afternoon. However, the stuff you buy in those stores rarely sticks for more than a few months because it lacks the heavy-duty bonding agents used by actual pros.
Whenever you try to do this yourself, you risk getting peeling paint, uneven textures, and fumes that make your eyes water for days. Real professionals use industrial-grade spray equipment and special primers that chemically etch the surface to ensure the new layer stays put for many years.
By hiring someone who does this for a living, you gain a smooth, resilient finish that stands up to daily scrubbing and hot water exposure. This lets you maintain your bathroom in a state of perfect harmony without worrying about yellowing or premature wear appearing under your soap dish.
Living in the lovely town of Newmarket, New Hampshire, means you appreciate the historic charm that many of our local houses possess. With a population hovering around 8,936 residents, our community thrives on quality craftsmanship and keeping our homes looking their absolute best for neighbors and guests alike.
Whether you reside near the Lamprey River or further out toward the borders of Merrimack County, you deserve service that respects your time and your property. Because we work right here in the 03857 area, we can pop over quickly to take a look at your project and give you an honest assessment.
You might be surprised to learn that many homes in this region feature original cast iron fixtures that are built like tanks but look tired after decades of use. Restoring these gems preserves the character of your residence while providing a modern sense of ease that makes every morning start better.
Finances matter to everyone, especially when you think about the median household income across our state and how you want to invest your hard-earned money. Paying for a full bathroom gut job is expensive, messy, and totally unnecessary if the base structure of your soaking unit is still solid.
When you opt for this specialized surface renewal, you spend a tiny fraction of the cost of a full remodel. This leaves you with extra cash to spend on other upgrades like new hardware, fresh paint, or lighting fixtures that provide a feeling of luxury and total relaxation.
Investing in your home this way is smart because it keeps your maintenance costs low while keeping your property looking high-end. You get the aesthetic you want, the budget stays balanced, and your home feels refreshed and ready for whatever the future holds for you and your family.
First, we arrive at your door and conduct a thorough inspection of the current condition of your tub, tiles, or shower surround. This is the moment where we look for cracks or rust, which we fix immediately to ensure the new layer has a stable foundation to sit on.
Next, we mask off everything in your bathroom to protect your vanity, floors, and walls from any overspray. Because we care about your home, we use professional ventilation systems to draw out dust and odors while we work, keeping your environment as pleasant as possible during the transition.
Finally, we apply several coats of high-tech resins that harden into a beautiful, glossy shell that feels smooth to the touch. Once the curing process ends, you can use your shower again, enjoying a space that provides a sense of genuine peace and visual harmony for your daily routine.

You probably want to know how long this shiny new surface is going to last before it starts looking dull again. With proper care, which mostly means using mild cleansers and avoiding abrasive scrubbers, this treatment can easily stay in top shape for over a decade without any trouble.
Many of our clients worry about the finish chipping or peeling away after a few years of heavy use. Because we apply a special bonding agent that creates a molecular bridge between the old surface and the new layer, you rarely see any issues if you treat it well.
Think of it as giving your bathroom a second chance at life without needing a total replacement. You gain a durable, beautiful, and easy-to-clean environment that feels fresh every single time you step inside to wash away the stresses of your long day.

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 Newmarket, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
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.
