A dull or chipped tub in Pomona 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 pretty tired after years of daily scrubbings and hot showers. Maybe the color reminds you of a bad seventies sitcom or the surface feels rough like sandpaper. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy bathroom remodel to fix this common headache.
By choosing to refinish your tub instead of ripping it out, you save a mountain of cash and avoid days of loud construction. Our local crew specializing in this budget-friendly surface restoration process comes right to your home to make that old fixture shine like new again. This means you get a sparkling, glossy basin to soak in without the massive headache of hiring plumbers and tile setters.
If you want to see how affordable this transformation is, we would love to give you a free estimate today. We travel all over this lovely corner of Atlantic County to help homeowners fall in love with their bathrooms again. You will get an honest, upfront price to restore your fixture to its former glory without any hidden fees or surprise costs.
Many folks do not realize that the sturdy cast iron or steel tub they already own is actually much better quality than the cheap plastic tubs sold at big-box stores today. Instead of throwing away a durable piece of American history, we give it a brand new lease on life. This special chemical bonding process coats your existing fixture with a durable, high-gloss acrylic polyurethane layer that looks identical to brand new porcelain.
Because we use premium industrial-grade materials, the new finish resists stains and holds up to hot water for many years to come. This lets you enjoy a clean, sanitary bathing space that is incredibly easy to wipe down after each use. On top of that, you do not have to worry about grout lines leaking or drywall getting damaged during a costly removal process.

Actually, the secret to a long-lasting finish lies in the tedious preparation work that our experienced technicians perform before we even open a can of glaze. We meticulously clean the surface with specialized acid cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. After repairing any deep chips or rust spots, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old porcelain and the new topcoat.
Living in this peaceful part of southern New Jersey means enjoying beautiful homes that often have a bit of historical character. With a local population of 7,362 residents, many neighbors around the 08240 ZIP code prefer keeping the classic charm of their homes intact. Our community boasts a healthy median household income of $80,768, which shows that local families appreciate smart, cost-effective home improvements that build real equity.
Choosing to restore rather than replace keeps heavy, non-biodegradable cast iron out of our local landfills. This eco-friendly decision helps protect our beautiful garden state environment while keeping your hard-earned money in your wallet. Since the entire process takes less than a day, you can go back to your normal routine almost immediately.
To make things even better, our team understands the unique water chemistry of the region, which can sometimes leave stubborn orange iron stains on white porcelain. Our advanced protective glaze seals the porous surface completely, which prevents mineral deposits from sticking to your tub. Which means you will spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemicals.
Perhaps you bought a house that came with an outdated pink, avocado green, or mustard yellow fixture that ruins the vibe of your entire bathroom. We can easily transform that colorful relic into a classic, bright white or modern almond finish that matches any decor style. This simple aesthetic upgrade instantly brightens up the entire room and makes the space feel much larger.
Besides fixing ugly colors, we also repair structural eyesores like deep cracks, rust spots around the drain, and unsightly chips. Our skilled technicians use specialized waterproof fillers to patch these damaged areas before applying the final spray coatings. Consequently, the finished product looks completely seamless and smooth to the touch.
You might worry about chemical fumes or overspray getting on your walls, floor, or expensive bath fixtures. To prevent this, we carefully mask off the entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheeting before we begin. We also set up a heavy-duty exhaust fan with a flexible window duct to pull any paint vapors safely out of your home.
Once the prep work is done, we use professional spray equipment to apply several thin, even layers of our high-tech coating. This meticulous spraying technique ensures a mirror-like finish without any unsightly runs, brush marks, or orange peel texture. After the coating cures, we remove all our masking materials and leave your bathroom cleaner than we found it.
To keep your restored fixture looking magnificent for a decade or longer, you simply need to follow a few basic care guidelines. You must avoid abrasive cleaners like bleach powders, scouring pads, or harsh scrubbing brushes that can dull the shiny finish over time. Instead, we recommend using mild liquid dish soaps or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners with a soft microfiber cloth.
Another smart tip is to avoid leaving wet washcloths, shampoo bottles, or soap bars sitting directly on the ledge of the tub for long periods. These wet items can trap moisture underneath them and eventually weaken the bond of the new coating. By taking these simple precautions, you ensure that your gorgeous, glossy surface remains in pristine condition.
If you have any questions about how to care for your specific surface, our friendly team is always here to help. We take pride in educating our clients so they get the absolute most value out of their investment. After all, a happy customer is our best form of advertising in this tight-knit community.

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 Pomona, 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.
