A dull or chipped tub in Sullivan 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.
That ugly, stained surface in your bathroom probably drives you crazy every single day.
Thankfully, you do not have to spend thousands on a noisy, dusty remodeling project.
Our local crew brings back the glossy shine of your old soaking fixture in just one afternoon!
Many folks think they need to rip out their entire bathing unit when it gets dull.
Actually, we apply a high-tech liquid acrylic coating right over your existing cast iron or fiberglass setup.
This chemical bonding process creates a completely new, non-porous barrier that looks like fresh porcelain.
First, we clean the area with specialized industrial prep agents to strip away decades of soap scum.
After that, we fix any annoying chips, deep scratches, or rust spots with a heavy-duty filler.
Finally, we spray on several coats of a premium topcoat that fuses to the old substrate on a molecular level.
This method saves you from the nightmare of hiring plumbers and tile setters.
Which means you keep your original bathroom layout intact while getting a sparkling clean look.
You also avoid the risk of damaging your walls or subflooring during a brutal demolition phase.
Buying a cheap new basin at the home improvement store sounds affordable at first glance.
However, the hidden costs of installation, new plumbing valves, and tile repair quickly add up.
Most homeowners end up spending a small fortune just to swap out one simple piece of plastic or metal.
To help you compare your options, we put together a quick breakdown of what to expect:
| Project Factor | Full Replacement Option | Our Specialized Coating Method |
|---|---|---|
| Average Duration | One to two weeks of chaos | Only four to six hours total |
| Mess and Dust | Extremely high drywall and plaster debris | Virtually none with our prep setup |
| Total Investment | Very expensive plumbing and construction labor | A fraction of the cost of new fixtures |
Choosing this smart update keeps hard earned cash in your wallet for other home improvements.
Plus, you get to use your freshly coated wash basin again in just twenty-four hours.
That is a massive win for busy households with only one main washroom to share.
Living in this beautiful part of upstate New York means dealing with hard water mineral deposits.
These stubborn orange and gray stains love to cling to worn out, porous factory finishes.
Once the original glaze wears off, no amount of scrubbing with harsh chemicals will make it shine again.
Fortunately, our modern protective layers resist these mineral build-ups much better than old worn porcelain.
Our team regularly travels across the local region to help homeowners upgrade their properties.
Whether you reside in a historic farmhouse or a modern ranch, we know how to handle your specific plumbing challenges.
Our gorgeous community of 15,339 residents deserves top-tier home services that do not break the bank.
With a healthy local median household income of around sixty-eight thousand dollars, local families appreciate real value.
We proudly serve all local neighborhoods within the active 13030 and 13037 area codes with prompt, friendly service.
We believe in absolute transparency when we step foot into your private home.
Therefore, we never skip steps or use cheap, watered-down materials to save a quick buck.
We start by sealing off the entire room with thick plastic sheeting and powerful exhaust fans.
These specialized ventilation systems pull all the strong chemical odors out through the nearest window.
This step keeps your family and your pets completely safe from breathing in any airborne particulates.
Next, we apply a chemical etching agent that creates microscopic pores on the old shiny surface.
These tiny pores act like miniature anchors for our advanced aerospace-grade primer coat.
Once the primer cures, we apply multiple layers of our glossy aliphatic polyurethane topcoat.
This material offers incredible durability against hot water, impact, and daily cleaning routines.
Caring for your restored fixture is actually much easier than dealing with old, rough porcelain.
Since the new non-porous layer is incredibly smooth, dirt and grime simply slide right off.
You only need a mild dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth to keep it sparkling.
On the other hand, you must absolutely avoid abrasive scouring powders and scratchy green scrub pads.
These harsh products will dull the glossy sheen over time and ruin the protective barrier.
Also, try to avoid leaving wet shampoo bottles or heavy dripping toys sitting on the rim.
Investing a tiny bit of care ensures your renewed surface stays bright and beautiful for up to fifteen years.
This simple maintenance routine saves you hours of back-breaking weekend cleaning chores.
You will actually look forward to taking a relaxing, warm bath again without feeling grossed out.

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 Sullivan, 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.
