A dull or chipped tub in Suitland-Silver Hill 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 have a tub that looks like it survived a war from fifty years ago? You can transform that stained basin into a shiny centerpiece without paying for a full renovation.
Getting a fresh finish on your aging bathroom fixture saves you a heap of money compared to replacing the whole unit. You get to keep your current layout while enjoying a surface that looks brand new again.
Many people think about buying a kit from the hardware store to fix their tubs. However, those DIY jobs often peel after a few months because they lack the industrial strength of our materials. Our team uses specialized resins that bond deep into the old porcelain or fiberglass.
This means you get a durable, glossy finish that resists daily wear and tear for years. You will avoid the headache of a second attempt when the store-bought paint starts flaking off in your drain. Choosing a pro gives you peace of mind that the job is done right the first time.
Living in this part of Prince George's County means you value your hard-earned money and your home. With a population of 33,515 residents, many of you own homes built during a time when cast iron tubs were the standard. These heavy, solid units are usually in better shape than modern plastic replacements.
Refinishing allows you to preserve that quality while updating the aesthetic of your bathroom. Since the median household income varies across ZIP codes like 20746, saving thousands on a bathroom remodel makes a massive difference for your budget. You gain a high-end look without the high-end cost of ripping out walls and plumbing.
Our process starts with a deep cleaning to remove soap scum, mineral deposits, and old caulking. We must strip the surface down to the original material so the new coating sticks perfectly. This phase is messy, but our crew handles the cleanup so you do not have to worry about a thing.
After the scrubbing is finished, we mask off your walls and floors to protect your tile and vanity. We then apply an etching agent that creates tiny grooves in the material. This lets the primer grab hold with incredible strength, ensuring the final coat stays smooth for a long time.
Once the prep work is solid, we spray a high-tech polymer coating onto the surface. This creates a hard, non-porous layer that mimics the look of brand-new porcelain. You will love how easy it is to wipe down compared to those rough, stained surfaces you are used to.
On top of that, you can choose from a variety of shades if you want a modern update. While white is the most popular, we can shift the tone to something warmer if that fits your style better. The final result offers a high level of coziness that makes your bathroom a place of true relaxation.
| Step | Benefit to You | |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Cleaning | Removes hidden bacteria and stains | |
| Surface Etching | Guarantees the finish won't peel | |
| Polymer Spraying | Provides a glossy, smooth aesthetic | |
| Curing Time | Ensures maximum hardness and durability |
Replacing a tub sounds exciting until you see the bill for plumbing, tile work, and disposal fees. A complete overhaul often takes a week or more of workers stomping through your house every single day. You end up with a construction zone where you should have a quiet space.
Conversely, our service usually takes just one day from start to finish. You get to use your bathroom again very quickly, which is a major win for busy families. This path provides a sense of ease that you just cannot get from a month-long renovation project.
Think about what you could do with the money you save by choosing to reglaze instead of replace. You could use those extra funds to buy a new vanity, install modern lighting, or repaint the entire room. It makes much more sense to invest in the details rather than spending everything on one heavy piece of porcelain.
The math is simple when you compare the costs side by side. Most people find that the difference is large enough to pay for several other home projects. You gain more value for every dollar you spend, which keeps your bank account happy.
Once your surface is restored, you need to treat it with a little bit of kindness. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the new finish. Instead, use mild soap and a soft cloth to keep the shine looking great for years.
Furthermore, make sure to fix any leaky faucets that drip directly onto the basin. Constant water pressure on one spot can eventually wear down any surface, no matter how tough it is. We provide a care guide after every job to help you get the most out of your updated space.

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 Suitland-Silver Hill, 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.
