A dull or chipped tub in South Sanford 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.
Keep your old tub while making it look brand new without the mess of a full remodel. We bring your worn fixtures back to life with our premium surface restoration services. Read on to discover how you can save thousands of dollars today.
Maybe you are staring at an ugly, stained tub right now and wondering how to fix it without losing your mind. Scraping out a cast iron monster creates a giant mess that ruins your floors. Fortunately, our local crew specializes in applying a tough, glossy new coat directly over your existing fixture.
This process saves you a mountain of cash because you do not have to pay plumbers to reroute your pipes. On top of that, you avoid the dusty nightmare of tearing out drywall. We simply prep the old porcelain and apply a high-performance synthetic protective layer that shines like glass.
Indeed, the final result looks identical to a brand-new installation but costs a fraction of the price. You get to keep your sturdy old-school tub while enjoying a modern, clean look. This means your morning bath becomes a relaxing experience instead of a reminder of home chore chores.
Our skilled technicians handle the entire job in just a few hours so your daily routine suffers almost zero disruption. If you want to see how easy this upgrade can be, we are happy to provide a free estimate at your convenience. We love helping folks in our community get the bathroom they deserve.
First, we clean the area with specialized industrial cleaners to remove decades of soap scum and body oils. Which means the new coating will bond perfectly to the original substrate. Any chip or deep scratch gets filled with a durable waterproof compound before we proceed.
Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically fuses the new finish to the old porcelain or fiberglass. This step is critical because without it, the fresh coat would peel off within a few months. We take our time here to ensure your investment lasts for many years to come.
After that, we spray multiple layers of an advanced acrylic urethane topcoat using professional high-volume low-pressure equipment. This advanced material cures into an incredibly hard surface that resists stains and impacts. You end up with a beautiful, non-porous finish that is incredibly easy to clean.

Living in this beautiful corner of York County means appreciating classic homes that often feature high-quality vintage fixtures. Many properties built decades ago contain cast iron tubs that are far superior in build quality to modern plastic replacements. Our service preserves that historic charm while updating the color to match modern tastes.
Whether you reside near the scenic rivers or closer to the bustling local highways, our team travels straight to your doorstep. We know the local water quality can sometimes cause stubborn orange rust stains on older fixtures.

Perhaps you have looked at plastic liners as an alternative, but those often trap water underneath and create nasty mold issues. Our seamless spray-on application eliminates that risk entirely by creating a solid barrier against moisture. This keeps your home safe from hidden water damage and bad odors.
Furthermore, our materials contain built-in UV inhibitors that prevent the surface from yellowing over time. This ensures your fixture stays bright white even if your bathroom gets a lot of direct sunlight. You get a long-term solution that maintains its brilliant luster without requiring expensive specialty cleaners.
Another major plus is that we can change the color of your fixture to match your new decor. If you are tired of that outdated pink, green, or beige from the seventies, we can transform it into a clean gloss white. This simple change instantly brightens the entire room and makes it feel much more spacious.
To help you get started, we offer upfront pricing with absolutely no hidden fees or surprise charges. We believe in honest communication and high-quality workmanship from start to finish. Let us take care of the hard work so you can simply sit back and enjoy the results.
Once our team completes the application, you only need to follow a few simple guidelines to keep it looking pristine. Avoid using abrasive scrubbing powders or harsh bleach products that can dull the glossy shine over time. Instead, a simple wipe down with mild dish soap and a soft sponge keeps it gleaming.
Actually, the non-porous nature of our topcoat means dirt and soap residue cannot find a foothold to stick. This saves you from back-breaking scrubbing sessions on your hands and knees every weekend. You get more free time to enjoy your beautiful home and do the things you love.
We also recommend avoiding bath mats with suction cups because they can pull at the new surface over time. If you need extra traction, we can apply an integrated slip-resistant texture directly into the floor of your tub during the process. This built-in safety feature protects your family without risking any damage to the beautiful finish.
By following these easy tips, your renewed fixture will look fantastic for a decade or even longer. We stand behind our work with a solid warranty to give you complete peace of mind. Reach out to us today to get your complimentary estimate and take the first step toward a gorgeous bathroom.
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 Sanford, 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.
