A dull or chipped tub in Richford 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 wake up every single morning and stare at that ugly, stained basin in your bathroom. Honestly, those yellowed rings and tiny chips make the whole room feel dirty even after you just scrubbed it. Fortunately, you do not have to spend a fortune replacing the entire setup when a local specialist can make it look brand new in just a few hours.
Our professional crew visits your home to apply a durable, shiny new protective layer right over your existing cast iron or fiberglass fixture. This simple process saves you thousands of dollars compared to a messy demolition job.

Many homeowners assume that a worn-out wash basin requires a sledgehammer and a trip to the landfill. However, our highly trained team uses specialized chemical bonding agents to restore that brilliant luster without removing a single pipe. This clever technique seals up microscopic pores where bacteria and mold love to hide out of sight.
First, we meticulously clean the old porcelain or acrylic surface with industrial-strength cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum. Next, we repair any deep scratches or unsightly chips using a premium polyester filler that cures in minutes. After that, we spray a high-tech topcoat that bonds at a molecular level to create a gorgeous, glass-like finish.
Which means you get a sparkling wash area that looks identical to a brand-new showroom model. Since we do all the prep work ourselves, you can just sit back and watch your outdated bathroom travel through time. Let us handle the messy details while you plan how to decorate the rest of your updated space.
Think about the sheer nightmare of hiring plumbers, drywall contractors, and tile installers just to swap out one heavy fixture. On top of that, older homes often have unique dimensions that make modern replacements almost impossible to fit through narrow doorways. Choosing to restore what you already own eliminates these stressful construction headaches entirely.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple breakdown of the two paths:
| Factor | Our Restoration Service | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Average Time | 3 to 5 hours total | Several days or weeks |
| Mess & Dust | Virtually none | Extremely high |
| Plumbing Changes | Not required | Often very costly |
| Total Cost | Very budget-friendly | Extremely expensive |
This lets you keep your hard-earned money in your pocket while still achieving that luxurious, clean feeling you deserve. Furthermore, your original cast iron piece is likely much sturdier than the cheap plastic tubs sold at big-box hardware stores today. Preserving that vintage craftsmanship is always a smart move for your home value.

Curious about how we actually perform this magic trick in your home? First, we mask off the entire bathroom with protective plastic sheeting to safeguard your floors, walls, and vanity. Then, we set up a powerful ventilation fan to draw any fumes directly out of the nearest window during the process.
Once the area is completely safe and secured, we apply an acid etching agent that creates microscopic grooves in the old glaze. This step is absolutely crucial because it allows our high-performance primer to grip the surface with incredible strength. After the primer cures, we apply multiple layers of our specialized acrylic urethane coating using a professional spray system.
Finally, we remove all our masking materials and leave your bathroom looking spotless and ready for action. You only need to wait about twenty-four hours before you can turn on the tap and enjoy a relaxing soak. This quick turnaround time is perfect for busy households with only one bathroom to share.
Now that your fixture looks incredible, you want to keep it that way for many years to come. Fortunately, maintaining this brilliant surface is incredibly easy if you follow a few simple guidelines. You must avoid harsh abrasive powders or bleach, which can dull the shiny finish over time.
Instead, we highly recommend using mild liquid dish soaps or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners along with a soft microfiber cloth. This simple routine prevents soap scum buildup without scratching the protective topcoat. On top of that, make sure to fix any leaky faucets promptly so dripping water does not erode the finish over several years.
If you follow these basic care tips, your restored wash basin will stay bright and beautiful for up to a decade. This durability makes our service an incredible investment for homeowners and landlords alike. You get peace of mind knowing your bathroom looks fantastic without any constant, exhausting scrubbing.

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 Richford, 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.
