Tub & Tile Refinishing in Massachusetts

A stained, dated, or chipped tub doesn’t always mean it’s time for a full bathroom remodel. US Pro Paint & Renovation provides bathtub refinishing services and tile refinishing across the South Shore, Greater Boston, and Cape Cod — restoring tubs, surrounds, and tile to a like-new finish for a fraction of full renovation cost. We also handle new tile installation and complete surface preparation when a refresh calls for more than a recoat.

Signs Tub & Tile Refinishing Is Right for You

  • Your tub or tile is stained, dull, or discolored but structurally sound.
  • You have minor chips or cracks rather than major structural damage.
  • You want a bathroom refresh without a full renovation budget or timeline.
  • You’re preparing to sell and want a clean, updated look at low cost.
  • Your grout or a few tiles need attention, but the surround itself doesn’t need replacing.

Types of Refinishing & Tile Services We Offer

Bathtub and tile cleaning transformation – bathroom tile installer near me

Tub Reglazing & Refinishing

Restoring worn, stained, or chipped tubs with an industrial epoxy primer and acrylic topcoat for a glossy, durable, like-new finish.

Tile Surround Refinishing

Refinishing shower and tub surround tile without the cost or mess of tearing it out and starting over.

New Tile Installation

Installing new tile for floors, walls, or backsplashes when refinishing isn't the right fit and a full tile replacement makes more sense.

Complete Surface Preparation

Repairing chips and cracks, sanding, and prepping surfaces before refinishing or new tile installation — the step that determines how well the finish holds up.

Grouting & Tile Repair

Re-grouting and minor tile repair or replacement are available options as an add-on services when refinishing alone won't solve the underlying issue.

Our Tub & Tile Refinishing Process

1. Preparation

  1.  The bathtub or tile is thoroughly cleaned to remove soap scum, dirt, and oils. Chips or cracks are repaired, and the surface is sanded for optimal primer adhesion.

2. Masking and Protection

  1.  Surrounding areas — walls, faucets, and drains — are protected with masking tape and plastic sheeting for a clean, professional application.

3. Application of Industrial Epoxy Primer

  1. A high-quality industrial epoxy primer is mixed and applied following precise manufacturer instructions for a flawless base.

4. Application of Industrial Acrylic Top Coat Resin

  1.  An industrial-grade acrylic top coat resin is applied for a glossy, durable finish that enhances both appearance and longevity.

5. Curing

  1. The refinished surface cures for at least 16 hours to ensure a hard, durable finish that lasts for years.

What Affects Tub & Tile Refinishing Cost

  • Scope of refinishing — a single tub costs less than a full tub-and-surround combination.
  • Surface condition — chips, cracks, or damaged grout requiring repair add to prep time.
  • Additional prep work — re-grouting or gluing loose tile is billed separately at $65/hour.
  • New tile vs. refinishing — new tile installation costs more than refinishing but is necessary when a surface is too damaged to refinish.
  • Tile material — for new installation, ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone all price differently.

Tub and tile refinishing typically costs $300–$700 for a full set (tub, surround, and floor tiles), compared to $10,000–$30,000+ for a full bathroom remodel.

Why Choose Us for Tub & Tile Refinishing

  • A fraction of remodel cost — refinishing typically costs $300–$700 versus $3,000–$10,000+ for a full bathroom gut renovation.
  • Industrial-grade materials — epoxy primer and acrylic topcoat resin, not consumer-grade DIY kits.
  • Single-visit service for most standard refinishing jobs.
  • 3-year workmanship guarantee on refinishing services.
  • Transparent add-on pricing — additional prep like gluing or re-grouting is billed at a clear $65/hour rate, not folded invisibly into the estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tub and tile refinishing — it costs $300 to $700 versus $3,000 to $10,000+ for a full gut renovation. We apply an industrial epoxy primer and acrylic topcoat in a single visit, restoring your tub and tile to a like-new finish at a fraction of replacement cost.

 Refinishing typically runs $300 to $700 for a full set — tub, surround, and floor tiles — compared to $10,000 to $30,000+ for a full bathroom remodel. It’s the most cost-effective option when fixtures are structurally sound but cosmetically worn.

A single tub typically costs less than a full set (tub, surround, and floor tiles), which runs $300 to $700 total. We’ll give you an exact number based on your tub’s condition and size.

It depends on the material and condition of your existing surfaces — porcelain, fiberglass, and acrylic tubs all refinish differently. We assess your specific tub and tile during a free estimate and recommend the approach that holds up best.

 Professionally refinished surfaces last 10 to 15 years with proper care — avoiding abrasive cleaners and letting the surface fully cure before use.

We clean the surface to remove soap scum and contaminants, repair chips and cracks, sand for adhesion, mask surrounding areas, apply industrial epoxy primer, then finish with an acrylic topcoat resin. If tiles need re-grouting first, that’s available at $65/hour and completed before coating.

 We require a minimum 16-hour cure time before any water exposure, and recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours before the first full shower for maximum durability.

Both — refinishing is the better choice when existing tile is structurally sound but cosmetically worn; new tile installation makes sense when the surface is too damaged to refinish or you want a different material or layout entirely.

Yes, refinishing work is backed by our 3-year workmanship guarantee.

JR and his team installed a custom kitchen island and coffee stand/cabinet for me. JR did a great job of helping me to maximize my space (which is smaller than ideal for what I was seeking). He was patient with my lack of knowledge around the work itself and was able to transform my very layman's vision into something real. He and his team were polite, professional, respectful, and incredibly quick to complete the job. I absolutely love my island and coffee corner and would recommend US Propaint & Renovation without hesitation!

JR and his team came in to remove an existing rear deck and replace it with an expanded composite deck. My wife and I are very happy with the project! It looks great and is very solid construction. All of his team were careful and professional and did a great job removing the old deck, recasting new foundation piers and installing the new deck, trim and railings. JR was very thoughtful during our initial discussions and came up with some very creative ideas to resolve some issues. The work was completed in a timely manner. Once they started they did not stop, except for inclement weather. They did an outstanding job of final clean-up and removed debris from the work area nearly every day. When they left they replaced all the furniture exactly as it was when they started. We look forward to working with JR and his team again.

JR and his team were professional , knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with on my project. It took me a year to look for a place to have my stairs built, and it was worth the wait. I would recommend them highly.

JR was extremely courteous and professional to work with. His crew arrived early each day and worked full days sanding, doing carpentry work, and exterior painting of our home. The crew was polite and always considerate of how they left the property each day. We will certainly use them again for other projects. We could not recommend them more highly. The house looks great; thanks JR and crew! As of November, 2022 US Pro Paint and Renovation has done incredible work on our home again renovating our kitchen and doing a complete redo of our bathroom. We were just as happy with this project as we were with their work on previous projects. We benefited from quality work, skilled workers, and tremendous oversight by JR. Our home was respected by everyone who worked on this project. We are again very pleased with their work.

We hired JR and US Propaint for bathroom remodel based on several neighbors positive experience with exterior house painting. We were not sure how they were on renovations since the recommendations were based on their painting results. We were not disappointed, JR was extremely responsive to us and was a pleasure to work with. JR provided some great advice on some of our renovation challenges. Once we completed our guest bathroom in April we immediately got on his schedule for our master bathroom which was just finished this week. So two major "to the studs" projects in this year and we are extremely pleased with results. Much more than a painting contractor!

JR and his crew were very responsive, professional and hardworking. They did a great job prepping before painting, carpentry repairs and painting the exterior of my home. His price was very fair. I would definitely call him for other work in the future and recommend him to others.

JR and his crew did a wonderful job painting the exterior of our house. There was quite a bit of carpentry needed to replace rotten shingles and corner boards, and they took no shortcuts. The crew was extremely hard working, professional, and had excellent attention to detail. JR also addressed any questions I had immediately. I strongly recommend!
