| Project Factor | Demolition & Replacement | Our Professional Coating Method |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Extremely high (often $3,000 to $8,000) | Very affordable (a fraction of replacement) |
| Time to Complete | One to two weeks of loud construction | Finished in just four to six hours |
| Mess & Cleanup | Tons of plaster dust, broken tile, and garbage | Virtually zero mess left behind in your home |
| Durability | Depends on the cheap modern tub you buy | Lasts for many years with basic proper care |
First, we clean the old surface with heavy duty industrial cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum. This crucial step removes all body oils, mineral deposits, and silicones that might ruin the new finish. We never skip this tedious prep work because a clean surface ensures the new coating sticks forever.
Next, we carefully patch any deep scratches, rust spots, or chips with a waterproof polyester filler. After sanding those spots flat, we apply a specialized acid etching agent to create microscopic pores in the old porcelain. This clever technique acts like invisible teeth that grab onto our high-performance primer.
Finally, we spray several layers of topcoat using a high-volume, low-pressure system for a super smooth look. This advanced material cures into a hard, glossy shell that resists impact and hot water. Once we finish, your old eyesore looks exactly like a brand new piece of pottery.
Living out here in Skyline-Ganipa, New Mexico, we all appreciate good, honest craftsmanship that stands the test of time. With a cozy local population of 1,208 residents, we treat every single client like our close neighbor. We show up on time, respect your property, and clean up after ourselves before we leave.
This dedication to top notch service is why homeowners in our ZIP codes trust us with their bathrooms. We understand the specific water conditions in our area and how minerals can dull your fixtures over time. Our durable coating helps repel those stubborn hard water stains so your bathroom stays bright.
On top of that, maintaining your restored surface is incredibly simple and requires no harsh chemicals. This lets you spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with abrasive cleaners. A quick wipe with a mild dish soap and a soft sponge keeps it looking stellar.
To keep your newly coated basin looking its best, you should always avoid bleach and abrasive scrubbing pads. Those harsh products will eventually dull the beautiful shine and wear down the protective top layer. Using gentle cleansers ensures your bathroom remains a source of pride for a very long time.
Another great tip is to fix any leaky faucets as soon as you notice them dripping. Constant dripping water can slowly erode even the strongest finishes over several years. Taking care of small plumbing issues protects your beautiful new surface and saves you water too.
Imagine walking into your bathroom every morning and seeing a pristine, sparkling white basin waiting for you. That simple joy brings a sense of neatness and peace to your daily routine. You do not need to spend a fortune to enjoy that daily feeling of cleanliness and style.
Our friendly team makes the entire transformation process completely stress free for you. We explain every step, answer your questions, and work quickly to minimize any disruption to your day. You get a gorgeous result without the hefty price tag of a traditional remodel.
How long does the new surface actually last before it needs attention again? With proper, gentle maintenance, your newly restored finish can easily last ten to fifteen years. This long lifespan makes the project one of the smartest investments you can make for your property.
Does the process create a strong odor while the coating is being applied? We use powerful exhaust fans to pull any fumes out through the nearest window during the application. Any lingering paint smell usually disappears completely within twenty-four hours of us finishing the job.
Can you fix a plastic or fiberglass shower unit that has a flexible bottom? Yes, we can reinforce weak, sagging floors before we apply our durable coating to prevent cracking. This comprehensive fix saves you from having to tear out the entire fiberglass insert.
Do not spend another day staring at a dingy, stained basin that embarrasses you when guests visit. Our local team is ready to drive out to your home and give you a honest assessment. We love helping homeowners fall in love with their bathrooms all over again.

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 Skyline-Ganipa, 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.
