A dull or chipped tub in Woodside 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.
You look at your stained, yellowing bathroom fixture every single day and wonder if you need to tear down your entire wall just to get a clean place to wash up.

Our local crew specializes in giving tired, worn-out surfaces a gleaming, factory-new finish right in your home.
This budget-friendly alternative saves you thousands of dollars compared to a messy demolition.
Which means you get to keep your heavy cast iron or classic porcelain setup while enjoying a bright, clean look.

Choosing this smart update process keeps tons of heavy debris out of our local landfills.
Actually, it takes only a few hours to complete, meaning you can use your gorgeous wash station again the very next day.
Let us walk you through how this works and why it makes so much sense for your property.
First, we meticulously clean the existing material to strip away years of soap scum, body oils, and stubborn mineral deposits.
This crucial step ensures our specialized bonding agents can grip the original foundation with absolute perfection.
Otherwise, the fresh layers might peel off down the road, which is a headache nobody wants to deal with.
After completing the deep wash, we patch up any annoying chips, deep scratches, or rusty spots that ruin your daily soak.
We apply a high-tech primer coat that acts like superglue between the old porcelain and our new protective topcoat.
This advanced chemical bond ensures your upgraded fixture stays beautiful and durable for many years to come.
| Project Step | What We Do | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| Prep & Clean | Acid wash and strip residue | Ensures new materials stick forever |
| Repair Phase | Fill cracks, chips, and rust spots | Creates a perfectly smooth surface |
| Bonding Agent | Apply military-grade primers | Prevents peeling and future bubbling |
| Topcoat Spray | Apply multiple layers of acrylic glaze | Delivers a deep, glass-like shine |
Subsequently, our skilled technician uses precision spray equipment to lay down multiple thin, beautiful layers of synthetic glaze.
We carefully control the airflow and temperature to prevent any drips or uneven spots from ruining the final look.
Finally, we let the new shield cure into a rock-hard, glossy shell that looks exactly like a brand-new showroom model.
Think about the massive nightmare of hiring plumbers, tile setters, and drywall contractors just to swap out one single basin.
That chaotic process often drags on for weeks and leaves your home covered in a thick layer of fine plaster dust.
By contrast, our specialized cosmetic restoration keeps your bathroom fully intact and keeps your sanity completely preserved.
On top of that, older fixtures often boast a build quality that modern plastic replacements simply cannot match.
Those classic, heavy basins hold heat incredibly well, allowing you to enjoy long, warm baths without constantly adding hot water.
Preserving these historic gems preserves the character of your home while upgrading its daily usability.
Honestly, saving money is usually the biggest reason our neighbors choose this smart cosmetic path.

You might see those inexpensive paint-on boxes at your local home center and think about tackling this on Saturday.
However, those retail products usually rely on simple epoxy paints that quickly turn yellow and peel within a few months.
They lack the professional etching acids and high-powered spray guns needed to get a true, molecular-level bond.
Furthermore, breathing in those strong chemical fumes without a professional respirator system can be quite hazardous to your health.
Our crew brings industrial-grade exhaust fans to safely vent all vapors directly out of your house during the application.
Save yourself the weekend headache and let our experienced hands handle the hard work safely.
Once we pack up our tools and leave your home shining, caring for your upgraded fixture is incredibly simple.
You must avoid abrasive scouring powders or harsh bleach products that can dull the glossy topcoat over time.
Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or gentle, non-abrasive bathroom sprays with a soft microfiber cloth.
This simple cleaning routine keeps the non-porous surface incredibly slick, meaning dirt and soap scum wash away with minimal effort.
Which means you spend far less time scrubbing on your hands and knees and more time enjoying your gorgeous home.
With just a tiny bit of proper care, your restored basin will retain its brilliant luster for up to a decade.

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 Woodside, 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.
