A dull or chipped tub in Plumsteadville 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.
If your old bathroom looks dingy and worn down, we can make it shine like new again without the high cost of a total remodel.

Maybe you are staring at an ugly, stained surface every single morning and feeling totally sick of it. Everyday scrubbing simply cannot remove those deep stains that have settled into the worn enamel over many decades. Fortunately, our specialized process coats your existing fixture with a beautiful, high-gloss protective layer that looks absolutely pristine.
This budget-friendly method saves you from the massive headache of hiring plumbers to tear out your walls. Since we spray a durable liquid compound directly onto the cleaned surface, we avoid all that noisy demolition work entirely. Which means you can keep using your existing bathroom space without waiting weeks for messy construction to finish.
Actually, many homeowners do not realize how easy it is to change the color of their current wash basin. Whether you currently have an outdated pink fixture or a chipped yellow one, we can coat it in a clean, modern white. This simple change instantly brightens up the entire room and makes the space feel much larger.
First, we carefully prep the area by removing all the old caulk and cleaning the surface with special acid cleaners. This step is super important because any leftover soap scum or body oil will ruin the bond of the new coating. After that, we fix any deep chips or cracks using a heavy-duty polyester filler that cures incredibly fast.
Next, we apply a sophisticated bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor between the old porcelain and the new finish. We then spray several thin coats of a high-tech acrylic urethane topcoat using professional spray equipment. This creates a very smooth, non-porous barrier that resists water and household cleaners easily.
To give you a better idea of how this compares to other options, we made a simple comparison table below.
| Method | Average Cost | Time Required | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Our Spray Refinishing | Very Low | 4 to 6 Hours | 10 to 15 Years |
| Plastic Liners | Moderate to High | 1 to 2 Days | 5 to 8 Years |
| Full Replacement | Extremely High | 1 to 2 Weeks | 20+ Years |
Obviously, choosing to refinish is the smartest path for anyone who wants a gorgeous bathroom on a budget. You get to keep your heavy cast iron basin, which actually holds heat much better than modern plastic replacements. Plus, you avoid the risk of damaging your vintage floor tiles during a messy tear-out process.

Whether you live near the main crossroads or tucked away in the quiet residential parts of ZIP code 18949, we travel right to your doorstep. We know the local water quality and how mineral buildup can slowly destroy the shine of your bathroom fixtures over time. Our special coatings are formulated to withstand these exact conditions so your basin stays bright and shiny.
On top of that, we always clean up after ourselves so you do not have to sweep up any dust or debris. We set up strong exhaust fans to vent any paint odors safely out of your windows while we do our job. This attention to detail is why your neighbors recommend us for quick bathroom transformations.
You might see those cheap paint kits at the local hardware store and think about tackling this job yourself. However, those store-bought epoxy coatings must be applied with a brush or roller, which leaves ugly brush marks and bubbles everywhere. They also lack the professional bonding agents needed to keep the paint from peeling off after a few hot showers.
When a DIY job fails, you have to pay extra money to have that cheap paint chemically stripped off before we can fix it. Save yourself the double cost and the massive frustration by letting our experienced team do it right the very first time. We use industrial-grade respirators and professional spray guns that create a factory-like finish you will love showing off.
Moreover, our commercial materials cure much harder than anything you can buy over the counter at a retail shop. This ensures your newly coated surface can handle daily baths, dog washings, and heavy scrubbing without dulling or scratching. We take pride in delivering a surface that feels like glass under your fingertips.
Once we finish our work, you need to treat the new surface with a little bit of respect to keep it looking great. This means you should never use abrasive scouring powders or harsh bleach products that can slowly wear down the gloss. Instead, we recommend gentle liquid dish soaps or mild bathroom sprays that clean away dirt without scratching.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet washcloths or heavy shampoo bottles sitting on the rim of the basin. Standing water can trap moisture underneath those items and eventually weaken the chemical bond of the coating over time. Keeping a small bath mat outside the tub instead of using a suction-cup mat inside also prevents premature peeling.
If you follow these simple guidelines, your restored fixture will look absolutely gorgeous for more than a decade. It is the easiest way to upgrade your daily routine and add some real value to your home. You will actually look forward to taking a relaxing soak at the end of a long, tiring workday.

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 Plumsteadville, 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.
