A dull or chipped tub in Aspen 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You wake up in your beautiful home nestled in the breathtaking Rocky Mountains but your outdated bathroom instantly ruins the morning vibe. Let us face the truth because those stained surfaces and chipped colors from past decades look totally out of place in a modern mountain retreat. Fortunately you do not have to spend a fortune on a messy demolition project when a smart local upgrade can make everything look brand new again in a single day.
By choosing this highly specialized restoration process you will save thousands of dollars while avoiding weeks of noisy construction dust. This clever budget friendly alternative rejuvenates your existing wash basin or soaking tub by applying a tough high gloss protective layer right over the old worn out surface. It is the ultimate secret weapon for smart homeowners who demand top tier results without the massive headache of traditional plumbing overhauls.
Our dedicated team loves helping neighbors transform these high traffic spaces into pristine sanctuaries that you can actually show off to guests. Since we know every dollar counts we invite you to grab a free estimate today so you can plan this fast affordable upgrade with zero stress. Let us dive into how this magic works and why it makes so much sense for your mountain property.
Instead of ripping out heavy cast iron or fiberglass units and risking damage to your gorgeous tile walls we work with what you already have. This means we carefully prep the existing foundation by removing old caulking and etching the material so our advanced coatings can bond on a molecular level. After that we spray on a durable synthetic porcelain compound that looks incredibly sleek and feels like absolute heaven.
Because this process seals up porous areas it actively prevents future mold growth and makes your weekly cleaning chores a total breeze. Which means you will spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemicals and more time enjoying the beautiful Colorado outdoors. On top of that the finished surface boasts a brilliant shine that mimics brand new factory porcelain perfectly.
To help you compare your options we put together a simple breakdown of how this smart restoration method stacks up against a full replacement project.
| Comparison Factor | Our Smart Restoration | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Project Duration | Completed in 4 to 8 hours | Can take up to 2 weeks |
| Total Cost | Very affordable and budget friendly | Extremely expensive with plumbing fees |
| Mess and Dust | Virtually none with proper venting | Massive amount of drywall and tile debris |
| Durability | Lasts 10 to 15 years with basic care | Long lasting but very high upfront cost |

First we set up powerful ventilation systems to safely draw any fumes out of your home while we prepare the work area with protective drop cloths. Then we use specialized cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard mineral deposits that build up from our mountain water. This deep cleaning phase is absolutely critical because even the smallest speck of dust can ruin the final smooth finish.
Next we repair any deep scratches, rust spots, or unsightly chips using high grade waterproof fillers that cure in minutes. Once the structural repairs are completely flush we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old surface and the new coating. Finally we spray multiple layers of our premium topcoat to build a thick glossy shield that looks incredibly rich.
This entire process takes only a few hours of work but the transformation will leave you absolutely speechless when you walk into the room. After a short curing period of just twenty four hours your newly restored fixture is completely ready for a warm relaxing soak. It is truly that simple and hassle free...
To keep that brilliant shine looking fresh for over a decade you simply need to avoid abrasive cleaning powders and rough scrubbing pads. Instead you should use mild liquid soaps or gentle dish detergents along with a soft microfiber cloth to wipe down the surface. This easy maintenance routine prevents micro scratches and keeps the protective topcoat looking like a polished mirror year after year.
Another great tip is to fix leaky faucets quickly because constant dripping can wear down even the strongest materials over a long period of time. By taking care of small plumbing issues early you protect your beautiful new investment and keep your bathroom looking flawless. We always share these helpful tips with our neighbors because we want your gorgeous results to last as long as possible.
If you are tired of looking at that ugly discolored basin every single morning let us help you fall in love with your home all over again. We serve our wonderful local community of 7,234 residents with pride and we would love to add your project to our long list of successful transformations. Reach out today to request your completely free estimate and take the first step toward the beautiful hassle free bathroom you deserve!
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 Aspen, 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.
