A dull or chipped tub in Three Churches Corner 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.

Most people assume that once a heavy cast iron or acrylic tub gets dull, it belongs in a landfill. Actually, the structural core of these older fixtures is often much stronger than the cheap modern replacements you find at big-box stores. Our process applies a high-performance chemical bond to your existing structure, creating a glossy, durable topcoat that looks identical to brand-new porcelain.
This method works incredibly well because we use premium industrial-grade bonding agents. First, we strip away old DIY paint jobs, soap scum, and deep-seated mineral deposits. Then, we repair any unsightly chips or rusty spots so the foundation is completely smooth. Finally, our spray system lays down a brilliant, non-porous finish that resists future stains and scratches.
If you want to customize your space, this service lets you choose modern colors beyond basic white. Which means you can easily match your existing wall tiles or go for a bold, contemporary contrast. Your friends will honestly think you spent a fortune on a brand-new soak tub.
| Feature of Our Service | Concrete Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Eco-Friendly Bonding Agents | Your family breathes easier with minimal fumes and a safer home environment. |
| Super-Fast Cure Times | You can use your beautiful, shiny basin again in just twenty-four hours. |
| Thick Protective Topcoat | Your surface resists chipping, fading, and yellowing for many years to come. |
On top of these advantages, our specialized coating seals up porous grout lines around the edges of your tub. This prevents dangerous mold from growing in hidden damp spaces. Consequently, cleaning becomes a breeze because dirt simply slides off the slick new finish with a gentle wipe.
To ensure long-lasting quality, we never cut corners on the tedious preparation steps. Our crew carefully masks off your entire bathroom to protect your vanity, toilet, and floors from overspray. We also set up temporary ventilation systems to pull any chemical odors directly outside while we work.

Let us look at the real numbers behind a bathroom remodel, which often shock unsuspecting homeowners. Demolishing an old fixture usually requires hiring expensive plumbers, tile setters, and drywall contractors. Once you add up those labor costs, a simple replacement can easily climb into thousands of dollars.
On the flip side, our restorative coating service costs a mere fraction of that traditional replacement route. You save your budget for other fun home improvement projects or family weekend trips. Plus, you avoid the weeks of dust, loud banging, and strange workers walking through your hallway.
This smart financial choice makes perfect sense whether you plan to stay in your home forever or put it on the market soon. Clean, bright bathrooms sell houses much faster, and our service offers an incredible return on your investment. You get the look of luxury without the terrifying price tag.
When our friendly technician arrives at your home, we start with a thorough inspection of your fixture. We check for hidden water damage, rust around the drain, and weak spots in the fiberglass or cast iron. This ensures we address any underlying issues before we apply our beautiful new finish.
Next, we perform a deep chemical etch to create microscopic pores on the old surface. This crucial step acts like superglue for our new coating, ensuring it will never peel or bubble up over time. After repairing any cracks or chips with a waterproof filler, we apply multiple layers of our high-gloss resin.
After the application is complete, we remove all our protective masking tape and clean up our workspace. We leave behind a handy care guide to help you maintain that brilliant shine for decades. Our team takes immense pride in leaving your bathroom looking far better than we found it.
To keep your restored surface looking spectacular, you should avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or bleach. Simple dish soap and a soft sponge are all you need to keep it sparkling clean. This gentle routine protects the glossy seal and saves you money on expensive cleaning chemicals.
Another great tip is to fix any leaky faucets quickly so dripping water does not cause mineral buildup over time. Using a soft bath mat without suction cups also protects the bottom slip-resistant surface. These small habits ensure your bathroom remains a stunning oasis for a very long time.
If you ever have questions after we leave, our local customer support is always just a quick call away. We treat our customers like family, and we are always happy to help you protect your investment. Your complete satisfaction is our number one priority.

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 Three Churches Corner, 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.
