A dull or chipped tub in Port Ewen 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.
Maybe you look at your old tub every morning and sigh at the ugly stains. Replacing that heavy fixture can cost you a small fortune and tear up your walls. Luckily, you can get a shiny, smooth surface again in just a few hours without all that mess.
Our local team specializes in restoring the factory-fresh look of worn-out washing basins right in your home. This budget-friendly alternative saves you thousands of dollars compared to a full remodel. You will love how clean and bright your space looks after we finish our magic.
Because we want to make this easy, we come directly to your door to inspect the project. We offer a totally free estimate so you know the exact cost before we start. This means you get honest pricing from local folks who care about quality work.
Many people assume that a chipped or discolored basin is ready for the landfill. Actually, the solid structure underneath is usually completely fine, even if the top coat looks terrible. Our process bonds a durable new liquid acrylic layer right over your existing cast iron, steel, or fiberglass.
First, we clean the area with specialized compounds to strip away decades of soap scum and body oils. After that, we repair any deep scratches or rust spots so the foundation is totally flat. Finally, we spray on a high-tech coating that cures into a rock-solid, glossy barrier.
This clever technique saves you from hiring plumbers, carpenters, and tile setters. Which means you keep your hard-earned money in your pocket while still getting a gorgeous bathroom. On top of that, the entire process takes less than a single day to complete.
| Factor | Our Professional Coating Service | Full Fixture Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable, usually under $600 | Expensive, often thousands with plumbing |
| Time Required | Done in 4 to 6 hours | Several days of loud construction work |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal, we mask off the whole room | Extensive drywall dust and heavy debris |
If you live near the scenic Hudson River in Ulster County, you know our historic homes have tons of character but also some really old plumbing. Trying to yank out an old cast iron tub in a classic local residence can trigger a nightmare of broken pipes. Choosing to recoat the existing fixture avoids disturbing those delicate, aged water lines entirely.
Our community has about 3,442 residents, and many families here in the 12466 area code want to stretch their home improvement dollars as far as possible. With a median household income of $68,104, spending five grand on a bathroom demolition just does not make sense. Our affordable refinishing process gives you that luxurious, clean feel without draining your savings account.
By keeping the original fixture, you also prevent heavy, non-biodegradable materials from clogging up our local landfills. This green approach helper protect our beautiful New York state environment while upgrading your daily routine. It is a win-win situation for your wallet and the planet.
To ensure your newly coated basin stays beautiful for years, we use premium commercial-grade bonding agents. Cheap DIY kits from the local hardware store usually peel within months because they lack these industrial chemical stabilizers. Our professional spray equipment applies an even, molecularly bonded layer that resists peeling and cracking.
Once we finish the application, you just need to follow a few simple maintenance rules to protect the shine. Avoiding abrasive bleach scrubs and using mild dish soap will keep the surface looking like new. This simple care routine ensures your investment looks pristine for up to a decade.
Before we even open a single can of coating, we carefully protect your bathroom floors, walls, and vanity. We set up an industrial exhaust system to pull any fumes out through the window, keeping your indoor air clean. You do not have to worry about chemical smells lingering in your hallways after we pack up.
Next, we apply a special acid etching agent to create microscopic pores in the old porcelain or enamel. This critical step allows our primer to grab onto the slick surface with incredible strength. Many budget contractors skip this part, but we know it is the secret to preventing future peeling.
Then, we spray multiple layers of our top-tier acrylic urethane coating using high-precision paint guns. This creates a deep, glossy depth that looks exactly like brand-new ceramic. After a short curing period, we remove all our masking tape and leave your bathroom spotless.
Rust spots around the drain are not just ugly, they can slowly eat through the metal of your tub. We grind down those corroded areas and pack them with waterproof fillers before spraying the new surface. This stops the oxidation process cold and saves the structural integrity of your fixture.
If you have some old chips from dropped shampoo bottles, we smooth those out seamlessly too. You will not be able to feel or see where the damage used to be once we apply the final coat. Your bare feet will thank you for the smooth, comfortable surface during your next warm soak.
Are you ready to transform your outdated bathroom into a bright, clean sanctuary? We make the entire process stress-free from the moment you reach out to us. We will schedule a convenient time to visit your home, inspect your fixture, and give you a written estimate with zero obligations.
Do not spend another week looking at a dingy, stained basin that embarrasses you when guests visit. Let our skilled local crew restore the bright shine and smooth feel of your original tub. Contact us today to request your free quote and take the first step toward a beautiful bathroom update!
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 Port Ewen, 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.
