A dull or chipped tub in Piney 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.
You likely stare at that worn out, stained tub every single morning while wondering how to fix it without spending a fortune. Replacing a heavy cast iron basin involves demolition dust, broken tiles, and a massive drain on your wallet that nobody wants to deal with.
Fortunately, there is a way to breathe new life into your old porcelain or fiberglass surfaces through a specialized chemical bonding process. This method saves you thousands while giving you a fresh, clean look that lasts for years to come.
Most homeowners believe that a scratched or discolored basin requires a complete tear-out to make things look good again. This assumption is actually a huge mistake because modern refinishing techniques offer a much faster alternative. You get to keep your original structure while masking all the chips and ugly rust spots.
Instead of living in a construction zone for two weeks, you can have a usable, beautiful fixture in just a few days. This process involves stripping away old layers and applying a high-grade polymer coating that seals everything tight. You save time, you save money, and you avoid the headache of finding new plumbing hardware.
Think of this as a heavy-duty makeover for your bathroom fixtures that creates a brand new, non-porous layer. We use specialized acid etching to prep the surface so that the new finish grips like glue. This means the coating stays put and resists peeling even when you scrub it regularly.
After the initial prep, we spray on a proprietary blend of resins that fill in every tiny crack and imperfection. The final result feels just like brand new enamel, giving you that smooth touch you crave. It provides the same level of luxury and ease as a brand new installation but at a fraction of the cost.
Many people worry that a refinished tub will just peel away after a month of heavy use. You can rest easy because the materials we use are designed to survive the hot, humid environment of a standard shower setup. Proper care keeps that glossy finish looking sharp for years, effectively protecting the underlying structure from water damage.
You get a surface that is easy to wipe down and resistant to mildew buildup. This saves you from those endless scrubbing sessions where you use harsh chemicals that end up hurting your lungs. A clean surface means a better environment for you and your family every single day.

First, we arrive at your house to assess the condition of your old basin or tile surround. We look for cracks, rust, or previous failed attempts at DIY fixes. This initial look allows us to give you an accurate price without any hidden fees popping up later.
Then, we protect your floors and walls with masking tape and paper to ensure everything stays clean. We remove old caulk that has turned black with mold and prepare the surface for the new finish. You will not have to lift a finger while we do the heavy lifting.
You might want a classic white look or perhaps something a bit more modern to match your current decor. Our mixing process lets you choose the exact hue you want for your space. This level of customization ensures that your bathroom reflects your personal taste perfectly.
The final layer is a clear coat that provides that high-end gloss you expect from a luxury hotel. It creates a barrier that keeps your tub looking clean and bright for a long time. You will love how easy it becomes to maintain your space once the work is complete.
Refinishing might look easy on a video, but it requires specialized tools and chemical knowledge to get it right. You are dealing with volatile compounds that need proper ventilation and professional spray equipment to apply evenly. If you mess it up, you end up with drips, bubbles, and a surface that feels like sandpaper.
We bring the right gear to ensure a perfect, factory-like finish every single time. You save yourself the frustration of a DIY project gone wrong and get a warranty that protects your investment. It is the smartest way to handle your home improvements without taking unnecessary risks.
You might be wondering how much this will actually cost for your specific situation. Every home is unique and every tub has a different history of wear and tear. We provide a completely free quote to help you decide if this path is right for your budget.
There is no pressure to commit during our visit because we believe our work speaks for itself. You just need to reach out and let us know when you are available for a quick site visit. We look forward to helping you transform your bathroom into the peaceful spot it should be.
You should make sure your bathroom is clear of personal items like shampoos and soaps before we arrive. This gives us the space we need to work safely and efficiently. You can also help by opening a window to provide extra ventilation for the short duration of the project.
Once we wrap up, we give you specific instructions on when you can start running water again. Following these simple steps ensures that the bonding process finishes correctly. You will be back to taking relaxing soaks in no time at all.
Expect a bit of a chemical smell during the application phase, which is totally normal for this kind of work. We use exhaust fans to keep the air moving and clear the odor as quickly as possible. You will notice the difference in quality immediately once the surface cures completely.
The change will be so drastic that your guests will think you bought a brand new unit. You get the gratification of a total renovation without the high price tag or the massive mess. It is truly the best way to upgrade your bathroom in a smart, efficient manner.
Many folks worry about the chemicals damaging their existing fixtures or plumbing pipes. You can feel safe knowing we use high-quality materials that are specifically formulated for bathroom surfaces. These products are safe for standard drains and won't corrode your metal fittings.
Another common question concerns the longevity of the new finish compared to a new tub. If you treat it like you would treat any quality surface, it can last for many years without issue. Avoiding abrasive scouring pads is the best way to ensure that your new finish remains shiny and smooth.
Sometimes a tub has deep gouges or cracks that go all the way through to the substrate. We fill these voids with specialized materials that bond perfectly to the base. This provides a structural base that keeps the entire finish stable and firm under your feet.
You won't even notice where the repairs occurred once the top coat is applied. Everything blends seamlessly into a single, uniform surface that looks like it came from the factory. It is quite amazing to watch the transformation happen right before your eyes.
You have read this far, which means you are serious about improving your home. Now is the perfect time to stop ignoring those stains and start loving your bathroom again. Reach out for your free estimate today and see how affordable this can really be.
We are ready to come out to your location and show you exactly how we can help. Your beautiful, gleaming tub is just a conversation away. Let us handle the hard work while you enjoy the results for many years to come.
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 Piney 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.

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.
