A dull or chipped tub in Wilmot 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.
Are you tired of staring at that chipped and stained basin every single morning? You can transform your outdated wash area into a stunning oasis by choosing a professional surface renewal service instead of a full tear-out.
Over time, those porcelain basins lose their original luster and start showing ugly scratches or stubborn rust stains. This happens because the factory glaze wears off and leaves porous material exposed to all sorts of grime. Replacing a heavy cast iron piece costs thousands of dollars and creates a massive mess inside your house. Instead, you can opt for a chemical bonding process that applies a new high-quality coating directly over your existing unit. This saves you tons of cash and keeps your home looking great without the stress of a major construction site.
Moreover, the process takes less than a single day to finish, which means you get your space back almost immediately. You will notice that the material feels smooth and looks brand new once the curing time concludes. Because these resins are specifically designed to withstand daily moisture, you gain long-term peace of mind regarding leaks or peeling. Every homeowner wants a bathroom that provides a sense of relaxation, and a smooth surface makes that happen perfectly. You avoid the headache of tracking down expensive plumbers and bulky new hardware that rarely fits the old plumbing layout.
Initially, a technician cleans the surface deeply to strip away soap scum, mineral deposits, and old caulk remnants. This preparation step is crucial because it ensures the new layer sticks perfectly to the tub without bubbling up later. Once the area is clean and dry, the pro applies a strong primer that bridges the gap between the old surface and the new topcoat. This creates a rock-solid foundation that will handle soap and water for many years to come. You are left with a finish that feels silky and looks incredibly high-end.
After the primer, a specialized industrial resin gets sprayed on with professional tools to ensure an even thickness across every curve and edge. This liquid layer levels out on its own, which eliminates brush marks and leaves a mirror-like shine behind. Because this material is essentially a liquid plastic, it fills in micro-cracks where bacteria usually hide. You stop worrying about scrubbing mold out of tiny pores because the new surface stays clean with just a quick wipe. You get a result that mimics the look of a brand new appliance at a fraction of the market price.

Considering these facts, you can see that fixing what you have is the logical path forward for most homeowners. Many people think they need to gut their bathroom to achieve a modern aesthetic, but they are often wrong. A fresh coating of white or almond resin instantly makes the whole room feel lighter and cleaner. You get all the visual impact of a renovation without the dust, noise, or contractors tracking mud through your hallway for days. It really is the smartest way to boost the value of your property before a potential sale.
Sometimes you might wonder if your current unit is too far gone to be saved. If you can see deep rust holes or the metal is completely cracked through, then you might need a replacement. However, most discoloration, dullness, or minor chips are easily fixed with this chemical technique. You can run your hand across the bottom of the basin to check for rough patches that hold onto dirt. If the surface feels like sandpaper, it is definitely time to schedule a free estimate and see what we can do. You will be surprised at how well those old surfaces respond to our professional treatment.
Furthermore, we offer various color options if you want to move away from the dated colors of the past. Imagine swapping out an avocado green or harvest gold basin for a crisp, bright white that opens up the room. You gain a sense of modern refinement without having to replace the surrounding tile work. This versatility makes our work a perfect match for any decor style you choose to adopt. You are limited only by your imagination when it comes to the final look of your newly restored 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 Wilmot, 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.
