A dull or chipped tub in Alcalde 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.
Maybe your old wash basin looks like a crime scene from decades of heavy scrubbin and rust stains. You do not have to rip your entire wall apart to fix this ugly problem. Our local crew travels right to your door to spray a fresh durable glaze over that worn out surface.
This quick update saves you thousands of dollars compared to a dusty demolition project. We specialize in making ancient cast iron and modern fiberglass shine like they just came off the showroom floor. Get a totally free estimate today to see how affordable this transformation really is.
Imagine stepping into a sparkling clean bathroom every single morning without feeling that instant wave of embarrassment. Our process seals up those tiny microscopic pores where nasty mold and dark grime love to hide. You deserve a beautiful space to wash away the stress of a long hard day.
Instead of sledgehammering your plumbing we apply a high tech chemical coating directly over your existing fixture. First we strip away the old failing layers and neutralize any deep seated rust spots. After that we spray a premium molecular bonding agent that fuses the new finish to the old substrate.
This method works incredibly well on traditional porcelain steel and even those flimsy acrylic units that tend to flex. Once the topcoat cures you get a super glossy shield that resists hot water and daily wear. The entire project wraps up in just a single afternoon which means zero waiting around for weeks.
| Feature of the Service | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| No plumbing demolition required | Saves money and prevents water leaks |
| Advanced bonding agents | Prevents peeling and bubbling for years |
| High gloss topcoat application | Super easy to wipe clean with mild soap |
Because we use commercial grade ventilation equipment you do not have to worry about strong chemical odors lingering in your hallways. Our technicians mask off every square inch of your tile and vanity to protect your home from overspray. You get a flawless factory finish without any of the typical remodeling headaches.
Living in a cozy historic community means dealing with unique plumbing setups that are incredibly tricky to replace. Our rural neighborhood of about 198 residents boasts a lot of character but older homes often have fragile pipes. Trying to yank out an old heavy tub can easily trigger a massive plumbing disaster under your floorboards.
With a local median household income of around forty three thousand dollars nobody wants to waste hard earned cash on overpriced contractors. Choosing to restore what you already own lets you stretch your home improvement budget much further. This smart service keeps your hard earned cash right in your pocket while still upgrading your daily living conditions.
Whether you reside near the scenic riverbanks or closer to the main highway we cover the entire 87511 ZIP code area. Our team understands the local water conditions and how mineral buildup can ruin your shiny bathroom fixtures over time. We apply a extra tough protective barrier designed to withstand those harsh mineral deposits and scrubby cleaning habits.
Those cheap store bought roll on kits usually start peeling off within a couple of weeks of hot baths. They lack the industrial strength etching acids and professional spray guns needed to create a truly permanent bond. Our heavy duty equipment ensures a perfectly uniform thickness that DIY brushes simply cannot replicate.
If you try to save a buck with a hardware store kit you might end up spending double to have us strip it off later. We take care of the dangerous chemical prep work so you do not have to breathe in toxic dust. Let our experienced hands handle the messy stuff while you sit back and relax.
Maintaining your restored surface is actually much easier than scrubbing a worn out porous antique basin. You must avoid abrasive bleach powders and harsh green scrubbing pads because they can dull the shiny finish. A simple spray of dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth will keep things gleaming like new.
Treating your newly glazed basin with a little bit of care ensures it stays bright for up to a decade. We always provide a detailed care sheet after we pack up our tools so you know exactly what to do. This simple routine protects your investment and keeps your bathroom looking pristine.
First we meticulously clean the entire area using special industrial cleaners to remove soap scum and body oils. Next we apply a specialized acid etch that creates tiny microscopic grooves in the hard porcelain surface. This crucial step acts like thousands of tiny anchors for our new coating to grip onto.
Then we repair any deep chips cracks or rusted out spots with a waterproof polyester filler. Once the surface is completely flat and dry we spray several coats of our specialized resin system. This careful attention to detail guarantees a smooth finish that feels amazing against your skin.
Finally we remove all the protective masking tape and clean up our workspace so your bathroom is ready to go. You only have to wait about twenty four hours before you can turn on the tap and enjoy a relaxing soak. Our efficient process minimizes downtime so your family can get back to their normal daily routine.
Are you ready to say goodbye to that ugly stained basin once and for all? We make the entire process incredibly simple by coming straight to your home to look at your project. Our friendly team will explain your options and give you an honest upfront price with no hidden fees.
There is absolutely no obligation to buy when you request a free quote from our local crew. We take pride in helping our neighbors throughout New Mexico achieve the beautiful home they deserve. Give us a call to schedule your visit.
Do not spend another day showering in a dingy space that makes you feel uncomfortable. Let us bring back the shine and brightness to your bathroom with our professional restoration services. We look forward to meeting you and transforming your home soon...
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 Alcalde, 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.
