A dull or chipped tub in Norwood 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 look at that tired old bathroom fixture every single day and wonder if you can ever get it clean again. Fortunately, a highly practical process allows you to completely refresh the surface of your worn-out wash basin without tearing up your walls. Our local team of skilled surface restorers brings specialized equipment directly to your home to spray on a gorgeous new finish that lasts for years.
By choosing this modern refinishing method, you save thousands of dollars compared to a messy demolition job. Local homeowners in Delaware County love how fast we can transform their stained, outdated porcelain into a sparkling highlight of their home. You get to avoid the endless dust, noisy contractors, and long plumbing delays that come with standard construction work.
To make things even easier, we offer a completely free estimate so you can plan your budget with zero pressure. This customized assessment gives you an exact price and shows you how we can repair chips, cover up ugly colors, and restore that original glossy shine. Why live with a dingy bathroom when an affordable, professional upgrade is just a quick message away?
Many folks think they need to throw away their heavy cast iron or fiberglass basins when the shine fades. However, our specialized process chemically bonds a high-tech coating onto your existing fixture. This means you keep your sturdy, high-quality old tub while enjoying a brand new, stain-resistant outer shell.
During the application, we strip away old soap scum and repair any deep scratches or rust spots first. After that, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old surface and the new finish. Finally, we spray multiple layers of a durable acrylic polymer that hardens into a beautiful glaze.
This clever technique saves you from hiring expensive tile setters and plumbers who often break surrounding walls during a replacement. Which means you keep your hard-earned money in your pocket while still getting a bathroom that looks like a luxury hotel. On top of that, the entire process takes only a single day to complete.
When you invest in this smart home improvement, you immediately boost the overall value and appeal of your property. Buyers love seeing clean, bright bathrooms, and a freshly coated basin makes the entire space feel hygienic and modern. You will actually enjoy taking baths again instead of scrubbing at permanent stains that never seem to budge.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple breakdown of how this restoration service stacks up against traditional replacement:
| Factor to Consider | Our Refinishing Service | Full Bathroom Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Project Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden fees |
| Time to Complete | Usually done in 4 to 8 hours | Can take weeks of messy construction | Minimal cleanup required afterward | Tons of plaster, tile, and drywall dust |
This table clearly shows why so many smart homeowners choose to recoat rather than replace. You save valuable time and avoid the headache of living in a construction zone for a month. Plus, our premium materials are designed to resist yellowing, cracking, and peeling under daily use.

First, our technician will carefully inspect your wash basin to identify any structural issues, deep rust, or previous coatings. This inspection allows us to choose the perfect cleaning agents and etching compounds for your specific material, whether it is cast iron, steel, or fiberglass. We then mask off your entire bathroom, covering your vanity, toilet, floor, and walls to protect them from overspray.
Next, we use a specialized ventilation system to pull any fumes directly out of your house through the nearest window. After prepping the surface, we repair any chips using a waterproof filler that blends perfectly with the surrounding material. We then apply our industrial-strength primer followed by several coats of top-grade aliphatic polyurethane acrylic.
This advanced material cures quickly, allowing you to use your beautiful, sparkling basin again in just a couple of days. We also provide you with simple care instructions to ensure your new finish stays bright and clean for a decade or more. You will find that cleaning becomes a breeze because the non-porous surface prevents dirt and mold from taking root.

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 Norwood, 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.
