A dull or chipped tub in Phoenicia 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 war. Between the stubborn rust stains and those tiny chips that catch your toes, taking a bath feels more like a chore than a relaxing escape.

Many homeowners assume that a ugly tub means they need a full remodel. However, tearing out a built-in fixture usually requires breaking wall tiles, moving pipes, and hiring expensive specialists. This nightmare process can leave your home looking like a dusty construction zone for weeks on end.
By choosing a professional surface renewal, you avoid all that unnecessary chaos. Our specialized process takes only a few hours to complete, meaning you can use your shower again the very next day. This rapid turnaround time keeps your daily routine running smoothly without any annoying interruptions.
This approach also saves you a massive amount of hard-earned cash. Since we work directly on the existing structure, you save on labor, disposal fees, and replacement materials. You get the exact same visual appeal as a brand-new installation for a fraction of the price.
| Project Factor | Full Replacement | Professional Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High (thousands of dollars) | Extremely Budget-Friendly |
| Time to Complete | One to two weeks of messy work | Less than a single day |
| Demolition Required | Yes, walls and floors often damaged | None, the fixture stays in place |
First, we clean the area thoroughly to remove years of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. This deep preparation ensures that our special compounds bond perfectly with the original material. We use commercial-grade cleaners that strip away every single microscopic bit of grime.
Next, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots using high-performance fillers. This step levels out the surface so the final coat looks perfectly flat and smooth. After that, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a super-glue for the new finish.
Finally, our technicians spray several layers of a durable topcoat using specialized high-volume, low-pressure equipment. This advanced technique creates an incredibly glossy, non-porous barrier that resists future stains. You get a gorgeous, easy-to-clean surface that shines like polished glass.
You might see cheap chemical kits at your local home improvement store. Sadly, these retail products lack the strength of industrial-grade coatings and usually peel off within a few months. They also require brush application, which leaves ugly brush marks and uneven patches all over your basin.
Our professional crew uses commercial equipment and high-grade safety gear to ensure a flawless bond. This means your new surface will not bubble, flake, or discolor when you run hot water. Investing in our professional service saves you from the double headache of fixing a failed DIY attempt later.
We take extreme care to protect your home during the entire application process. Our team seals off the work area with plastic sheeting and sets up heavy-duty exhaust fans to vent fumes outside. This careful setup keeps your indoor air clean and prevents overspray from landing on your vanity or toilet.
Once we finish the spray application, we clean up our work area completely. We leave your bathroom looking spotless, with only a beautiful, glistening tub left behind. You get to enjoy the incredible results without dealing with any cleanup hassle.
Every bathroom has its own unique style, so we offer a variety of color options to match your decor. Whether you want a classic, crisp white or a warmer almond tone, we have you covered. This flexibility lets you update your color scheme without replacing your existing wall tiles.
This service works wonders on older homes nestled in the beautiful Catskill Mountains. We proudly serve the lovely hamlet of Phoenicia, where many properties feature historic charm but need a modern touch. This quiet community of 249 residents in Ulster County features a median household income of $35,972, making affordable home upgrades incredibly valuable.
Whether your home sits near the Esopus Creek in the 12464 area or up in the hills, we bring our mobile workshop right to your door. We understand the unique needs of local homeowners who want to preserve their classic homes while upgrading daily convenience. Our reliable service helps you maintain your property value without breaking the bank.
To keep your restored surface looking spectacular, you must avoid harsh abrasive cleaners. Bleach and scrubbing powders can dull the glossy topcoat over time. Instead, you should use mild, non-abrasive liquid soaps and microfiber cloths to wipe down the basin.
Dropping heavy objects or using sharp metal items inside the tub can also chip the new coating. If you use a bath mat, make sure it does not have suction cups, as these can pull on the finish. Following these simple care steps ensures your investment remains beautiful for up to fifteen years.
If you ever do get a small nick from a dropped tool, our team can easily patch it up for you. We stand behind our craftsmanship and want you to love your bathroom for a very long time. Our friendly team is always just a quick call away to help with maintenance tips.

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 Phoenicia, 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.

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.
