A dull or chipped tub in Perch Point 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.
Your old tub probably looks like it survived a small war. Those ugly stains and scratches stare back at you every single morning. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy replacement project.
Our local crew can completely transform that worn-out surface in just a single afternoon. This budget-friendly solution makes your entire bathroom feel fresh and clean again. Best of all, you can get a free estimate today to see how easy it is.
Many folks think they need to rip out their entire cast iron or fiberglass tub when the surface gets dull. That is a massive mistake because a simple, professional topcoat renewal does the job for a fraction of the cost. We carefully clean the old fixture, repair any deep chips, and apply a premium liquid acrylic coating that bonds at a molecular level.
This process saves you from the nightmare of dealing with dusty drywall and expensive plumbing rerouting. You get to keep your original heavy-duty tub while enjoying a glossy, bright finish that looks identical to a brand new installation. It is the ultimate home improvement shortcut for smart homeowners who want high-end results without the premium price tag.
To help you understand how this compares to other options, we put together a quick breakdown of your choices.
| Project Type | Typical Duration | Mess Level | Relative Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | 3 to 5 Days | Very High | Expensive |
| Acrylic Liner | 1 to 2 Days | Medium | Moderate |
| Surface Coating | 4 to 6 Hours | Very Low | Highly Affordable |

We live right down the road, and we are always ready to head over to give you an honest, complimentary assessment of your bathroom fixtures.
First, we mask off your entire bathroom to protect your vanity, floors, and walls from any overspray. Then, we use specialized cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This step ensures the new coating sticks perfectly to the original porcelain or fiberglass material.
After that, we patch up any physical damage like rusty spots around the drain or deep scratches. We apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor between the old tub and the new finish. Without this crucial step, the new surface would start peeling off within a few short months.
Next comes the fun part where we spray multiple layers of our high-tech, durable synthetic glaze. We use professional HVLP spray equipment to guarantee a smooth, run-free application that looks incredibly sleek. This specialized material cures into a rock-hard shell that resists future staining and chipping.
Once we finish spraying, we set up industrial exhaust fans to pull any odors out of your house. You only need to let the surface cure for twenty-four hours before you can jump in and enjoy a relaxing bath. This quick turnaround time is perfect for busy households with only one bathroom.
Taking care of your newly finished basin is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, porous one. Because the new surface is completely non-porous, dirt and soap residue wipe away with very little effort. You can say goodbye to harsh abrasive powders and scratchy scrub sponges forever.
We recommend using gentle liquid dish soap or mild bathroom sprays along with a soft microfiber cloth. This simple routine keeps the gloss looking brand new and protects the protective topcoat from premature wear. Avoiding bleach and heavy chemical drain cleaners will also extend the lifespan of your beautiful finish.
If you follow these basic guidelines, your restored fixture will easily last for ten to fifteen years. That is an incredible return on investment when you consider how little the service costs compared to a full remodel. It is truly the smartest way to upgrade your washroom without breaking the bank.
Now is the perfect time to stop staring at that dingy, embarrassing tub and finally do something about it.

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 Perch Point, 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.
