A dull or chipped tub in South Poland 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.
Do you look at your worn bathtub and sigh with sadness? Well this local surface revival fix brings back that glossy shine without tearing out your whole bathroom.
Most folks in South Poland Maine deal with mineral deposits and dull enamel on their old washing basins. Luckily our local crew comes right to your door to spray a fresh polyurethane coat over that tired basin. This means you avoid messy demolition days and save a pile of cash on plumbing bills.
Right from the start our technicians strip away soap scum using strong chemical etchants. After that prep work finishes we mask off your tile surrounds to keep overspray away from your walls.
Next comes the bonding agent application which grips the old porcelain tightly. This clever step lets you enjoy a rock solid finish that will never peel up under daily hot water use. Each layer cures fast so you get your washroom back in working order by tomorrow night.
Naturally you might wonder about chemical smells floating through your house during the spraying session. Therefore we set up heavy exhaust fans to vent fumes right out the nearest window. Such attention to detail keeps your indoor air breathing safe while we work our magic.
First we scrub every square inch of the basin using heavy grit pads. This mechanical abrasion opens up microscopic pores in the cast iron or steel substrate.
Subsequently we apply neutralizing rinses to stop any acid residue from ruining the new acrylic topcoat. Ultimately this thorough cleaning lets your newly painted basin resist chipping for over a decade.
Then our guys hook up high volume low pressure spray guns to lay down the liquid porcelain. This specialized equipment gives you a smooth finish that looks just like a brand new drop in tub.
Meanwhile we monitor ambient humidity levels inside your bathroom to prevent bubbling in the fresh coating. Consequently your newly revived basin gains a brilliant gloss that makes your whole powder room pop.
Living around our little town means dealing with hard water that wrecks your fixtures over time. Fortunately our mobile crew rolls out to zip codes right in your neighborhood with all the gear needed for the job.
Most homeowners around here with a median household income typical for Androscoggin County want smart ways to upgrade without breaking the bank. Because replacing a built in tub requires cutting drywall and moving pipes, resurfacing proves to be the much smarter choice.
On top of that our friendly team treats your home with absolute respect from start to finish. You never have to worry about muddy boots on your hallway carpet because we always lay down protective drop cloths.
| Project Type | Average Time | Cost Factor |
|---|---|---|
| Full Tub Replacement | Four to Six Days | Very Expensive |
| Basin Resurfacing | Four to Six Hours | Budget Friendly |
Beyond saving money you also dodge weeks of construction dust floating into your bedroom. This rapid turnaround lets you soak in warm bubbles way sooner than you ever imagined.
Before any spraying happens we fill in deep chips with marine grade polyester body filler. This waterproof putty hardens like a rock and sands down completely flush with the surrounding porcelain.
Following that repair phase we feather out the edges so the fix vanishes underneath the topcoat. Therefore nobody will ever guess your basin sustained heavy damage before we showed up.
Maybe you are tired of that old dated avocado green color from decades past. Luckily we offer bright white and biscuit tones to match your modern vanity and toilet.
By updating these colors your entire bathroom feels fresh and up to date without a major remodel. This simple cosmetic upgrade lets you impress your guests during holiday gatherings.
Tearing out a heavy cast iron tub involves hiring plumbers and carpenters for days on end. Conversely spraying a fresh acrylic skin costs a fraction of that big installation bill.
Furthermore you keep tons of heavy metal and porcelain out of local landfills by keeping your existing structure in place. This eco friendly approach makes you feel good about updating your living space.
Each year roughly five thousand three hundred seventy six residents call this Androscoggin County town home. Many of those neighbors live in charming older houses featuring vintage tubs that deserve a second chance at life.

Instead wipe down the sides with mild dish soap and a soft sponge after every few baths. Following these simple rules lets you enjoy a pristine bathing space for fifteen years or more.
Hard water minerals love to cling to rough patches on aging bathtubs and cause ugly brown rings. Since our fresh coating fills in all those microscopic pits water simply beads up and washes away.

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 South Poland, 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
