A dull or chipped tub in Orleans does not need a demolition crew. It needs one technician, one day and a sprayed finish that shines.

First of all, ripping out an old bathroom fixture is incredibly messy.
You have to deal with broken tiles, dust everywhere, and expensive plumbing bills.
Honestly, it is a total headache that can drag on for several days.
On top of that, many older homes feature durable cast iron models that are built like tanks.
Which means trying to carry one of those heavy monsters out of your house is dangerous.
You might easily scratch your doorways or ruin your beautiful flooring during the process.
This is where our specialized resurfacing process saves the day.
We apply a high-performance liquid acrylic coating directly over your existing porcelain or fiberglass.
This creates a seamless barrier that looks exactly like a brand-new factory finish.
| Comparison Factor | Complete Replacement | Our Professional Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Total Project Cost | Very High (often $3,000+) | Extremely Budget-Friendly |
| Time to Complete | Up to a full week of mess | Finished in just a few hours |
| Durability Level | Depends on new tub quality | Very strong with proper care |
Naturally, you might wonder how we get these surfaces to look so incredibly smooth.
We start by stripping away old soap scum, mineral deposits, and cheap DIY paint jobs.
This step is crucial because the new coating needs a perfectly clean surface to stick to.
Next, we repair any deep chips or ugly rust spots using specialized waterproof fillers.
After that, we apply an industrial-strength bonding agent that locks the new layers in place.
This ensures your new finish will not peel or bubble when you take a hot shower.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of a top-tier acrylic urethane over the entire structure.
This material cures into a rock-hard shell that delivers unmatched brightness and warmth.
You get a glossy surface that is very easy to wipe down with a mild soap.
Over time, harsh chemical cleaners scratch the protective glaze on your fiberglass or porcelain.
Consequently, dirt and body oils get trapped in those microscopic pores, causing dark stains.
Our advanced sealing process completely closes those pores so grime cannot stick anymore.
Additionally, we fix dangerous hairline cracks that can leak water under your subfloor.
Which means you prevent expensive mold growth and structural wood rot before it even starts.
This simple repair keeps your home safe and dry for many years to come.

Our team understands the local water conditions and how mineral buildup affects your plumbing fixtures.
That is why we use specific formulas designed to withstand tough, iron-rich well water.
We make sure your restored surface stays bright and beautiful despite heavy daily use.
Unlike a major remodeling project, our process does not leave you without a shower for weeks.
In fact, we usually finish the entire job in a single afternoon.
This means you can go back to your normal daily routine almost immediately.
Once the coating cures fully, your bathroom will feel like a private spa retreat.
You will love how the smooth surface feels against your skin during a relaxing soak.
It brings back that clean feeling you have been missing for so long.
To keep your newly coated surface looking fresh, you must avoid abrasive scrubbing powders.
Instead, we recommend using gentle liquid cleaners and a soft microfiber cloth.
This simple routine preserves the brilliant shine and prevents premature wear.
Furthermore, you should never leave wet bath mats sitting inside the basin for days.
Moisture trapped underneath can slowly weaken the bond of any protective coating over time.
Hanging your mat up to dry ensures your beautiful finish remains completely intact.
If you follow these basic guidelines, your restored fixture will look amazing for a decade.
This makes our service an incredibly smart investment for any savvy homeowner.

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 Orleans, 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.
