Maybe you are wondering how we actually make an old, chipped surface look like it just came straight from the factory showroom. Well, this specialized process involves applying a high-tech, super-durable liquid acrylic coating directly over your existing cast iron or fiberglass structure. First, we carefully clean away all the old soap scum, oils, and minerals that built up over decades of daily showers.
After that prep work is complete, we patch up those annoying chips and deep scratches so the foundation is totally flat. Then, we spray on a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old material and the fresh topcoat. Finally, we apply several layers of a premium protective finish that cures into a rock-solid, incredibly glossy shield.
This whole procedure takes just a few hours from start to finish. Which means you can skip the dusty nightmare of traditional remodeling. Your wallet will definitely thank you for choosing this clever route.

|---|---|
| No demolition required | Zero dust, zero mess, and absolutely no broken tiles in your home. |
| Completed in under a day | You get your bathroom back almost immediately without waiting weeks. |
| Advanced bonding agents | The new glossy layer will not peel or flake off when you bathe. |
| Eco-friendly alternative | You keep heavy, bulky old tubs out of our local landfills. |
If you try to replace a built-in tub, you quickly realize it is never just about buying a new basin. Indeed, plumbers have to tear out your gorgeous old tiles, cut into your drywall, and sometimes even alter your floor joists just to fit a new model in. On top of that, those unexpected plumbing issues can easily double your initial budget in the blink of an eye.
Opting for a professional surface renewal avoids all of those hidden traps and stressful surprises. We work with the structure you already have, saving you from costly remodeling chain reactions. This smart choice lets you spend your hard-earned cash on other fun home projects instead.
Plus, older tubs are often made of incredibly heavy cast iron that holds heat way better than modern cheap plastic options. Keeping that sturdy original piece is actually a huge upgrade for your soaking experience. Let us help you preserve that classic quality while giving it a brilliant, modern face.
First, we protect your entire bathroom with heavy-duty drop cloths and set up a powerful ventilation system to pull any fumes right out of your window. Safety and cleanliness are our absolute top priorities when we step into your home. Once everything is sealed up tight, we strip away any old, failing DIY glaze coats that previous owners might have sloppily painted on.
Next, we use a special acid etching compound that creates microscopic pores in the porcelain or fiberglass. This step is crucial because it gives our new materials a rough surface to grab onto for maximum adhesion. After repairing any rust spots around the drain, we apply the primer layers with absolute precision.
Eventually, we spray the final high-gloss acrylic polyurethane coat using specialized HVLP spray guns for a flawless, factory-smooth finish. We even clean up our workspace so well that you won't even know we were there... except for your sparkling bathroom, of course! You just have to let it cure for a day or two before enjoying your first luxurious, deep soak.
Now that your fixture looks incredibly shiny and clean, you want to keep it that way for as long as possible. Fortunately, maintaining this restored beauty is actually much easier than scrubbing a rough, worn-out old tub. Since the new non-porous layer resists dirt and grime, you can say goodbye to harsh chemical scrubbers and painful elbow grease.
All you need to do is wipe it down with a mild liquid soap and a soft sponge after each use. Avoid abrasive powders or scratchy pads because those can dull the glossy finish over time. This simple routine ensures your bathroom remains a bright, welcoming sanctuary for a very long time.
Remember to fix leaky faucets quickly too, because constant dripping can wear down even the toughest finishes over several years. Taking care of these little things preserves your investment beautifully. We love sharing these pro tips to help you get the absolute most out of our work.

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 Summit, 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.

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.
