A dull or chipped tub in Scranton 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.

Many folks confuse this process with simply painting a tub, but it is actually a highly technical bonding procedure. First, we meticulously clean the old basin with specialized acid cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and mineral deposits. After that, we repair any deep chips or cracks using a heavy-duty polyester filler. Once the foundation is perfectly smooth, we apply a state-of-the-art bonding agent that fuses the new coating to the original material.
This advanced chemical fusion ensures your new finish will not peel or flake off when you take a hot shower. Next, we spray several coats of a high-tech acrylic urethane topcoat using professional spray equipment. This specific material creates a non-porous barrier that resists impact and chemical damage. Finally, we buff the surface to a brilliant shine that mimics the depth of genuine factory glaze.
To help you understand how this compares to other options, we put together a quick comparison table:
| Project Type | Average Duration | Mess Level | Relative Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | 3 to 5 Days | Very High | Expensive |
| Acrylic Liners | 1 to 2 Days | Moderate | Mid-Range |
| Our Renewal Service | 4 to 6 Hours | Very Low | Highly Affordable |
Living in our cozy community of 786 residents means we all appreciate practical, honest solutions that do not drain our wallets. With a local median household income of $30,313, spending five thousand dollars on a brand-new bath installation is simply not realistic for many families. Our specialized service allows you to stretch your hard-earned dollars much further while still achieving high-end results. We take pride in helping our neighbors in the 29591 ZIP code area upgrade their spaces affordably.
On top of saving money, you also avoid the nightmare of having plumbers tear up your walls and floors. Older homes in Scranton, South Carolina often have outdated plumbing that can easily break during a major demolition. By keeping your existing fixture in place, you eliminate the risk of accidental pipe damage and costly emergency repairs. This approach keeps your home intact and keeps your stress levels down.
Another fantastic benefit is how incredibly easy the new surface is to maintain. Because the new coating is completely non-porous, dirt and grime have nowhere to hide. You can kiss harsh, abrasive bleach cleaners goodbye forever. A quick wipe down with a mild dish soap and a soft sponge is all it takes to keep that brilliant luster alive.
Choosing to renew your existing fixture is also a wonderful way to practice environmental responsibility. Every year, millions of pounds of cast iron and porcelain tubs end up taking up space in local landfills. By restoring what you already own, you keep heavy waste out of our beautiful southern landscape. This green choice reduces the demand for manufacturing new products, which saves valuable energy and resources.
This process also saves you from the dust storm that usually accompanies home demolition projects. Construction dust can settle into your air ducts and trigger allergies for weeks after the workers leave. Our clean, contained process uses powerful exhaust fans to pull fumes and overspray safely out of your home. You get a sparkling clean bathroom without any of the respiratory hazards.
When our friendly technician arrives at your doorstep, we start by carefully masking off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic. This step ensures that no overspray lands on your vanity, toilet, floor, or walls. We also set up a heavy-duty ventilation system through the nearest window to keep your indoor air fresh and safe. Our team treats your property with the utmost respect from start to finish.
Once the prep work is complete, we spend the majority of our time preparing the surface of your basin. We cannot stress enough how crucial this preparation phase is for a long-lasting bond. After the new finish is sprayed and cured, we carefully remove all the masking tape and clean up our work area. You will be left with a gleaming, beautiful washroom that is ready to use in just twenty-four hours.
While our advanced coatings are incredibly durable, they still require a little bit of proper care to look their best for years to come. You should always avoid using suction-cup bathmats, as the constant pulling can eventually weaken the bond of the new finish. Instead, we can apply a permanent, slip-resistant texture to the bottom of your tub during the application process. This built-in safety feature keeps you safe without risking any damage to the beautiful coating.
Additionally, you must avoid dropping heavy, sharp objects onto the newly coated surface. If you do happen to chip it by accident, do not panic. We can easily touch up minor dings without having to redo the entire basin. Taking care of your updated tub is simple when you follow these basic guidelines.
To help you maintain that showroom shine, here is a quick list of approved cleaning products and methods:

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 Scranton, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
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.
