A dull or chipped tub in Belgium 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.
Actually, fixing up your outdated bathroom fixture saves tons of hard-earned cash right off the bat. Honestly, replacing a heavy cast iron tub costs a total fortune once you count all the messy demolition work. Luckily, our local crew refinishes these giant porcelain basins right inside your home within just a few quick hours.
For example, you avoid ripping out beautiful tile walls or busting up old hardwood floors in your hallway. Because of this, your quiet weekend project stays completely stress-free while saving you heaps of money. Naturally, getting a free project estimate gives you a exact price before any messy work even starts.
Basically, a high-tech custom liquid coating gets sprayed directly onto your tired basin surface. Besides that, this top-grade glaze seals up nasty cracks while covering up those ugly rusty patches forever. Which means you end up with a smooth sparkling surface that literally shines like brand new porcelain.
Suddenly, tearing out a heavy antique bath unit turns into a total construction nightmare real fast. Moreover, older homes often feature bulky cast iron fixtures that weigh several hundred pounds easily. Unquestionably, dragging those massive tubs down narrow stairs ruins your walls and hurts your back badly.
Furthermore, local homeowners love saving their precious time while keeping their family budget totally intact. Consequently, choosing a professional restoration service keeps thousands of dollars inside your savings account. Additionally, you avoid waiting weeks for contractors to finish installing a cheap modern plastic replacement.
On top of that, fresh resurfacing brings back that grand plush cozy feel without high retail prices. To illustrate, here is a clear breakdown comparing full replacement against our custom spray technique:
| Service Type | Project Time | Mess Factor | Total Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Bath Replacement | 5 to 10 Days | Extremely High | Very Expensive |
| Local Surface Coating | 4 to 6 Hours | Very Low | Super Affordable |
First, our skilled technicians clean your old porcelain basin using tough industrial solvents to remove soap scum. Next, we carefully patch up every tiny chip, scratch, or rusty hole hiding near the drain area. Above all, preparing the underlying floor material ensures our new chemical layer sticks tight for decades.
Thereafter, we apply a specialized bonding agent that chemically glues the new shiny layer down tight. Soon after, multiple thick coats of high-performance acrylic polymer get sprayed using precision tools... this creates that ultra-smooth finish. Eventually, the fresh shiny material cures completely, leaving you with an easy-to-clean polished surface that lasts.
Therefore, you never have to scrub dirty grout lines or gaze at discolored enamel ever again. Afterwards, taking a relaxing bath feels cozy and soothing once more. Plus, our high-tech formulas do not produce harsh fumes that linger around your hallways forever.
Honestly, working right here in Ozaukee County gives us huge satisfaction every single workday. Granted, our cozy little village of about 2,210 hard-working residents deserves top-quality craftsmanship at fair prices. Truly, local families earning around the median household income of $76,607 appreciate reliable trade work done right.
Remember, whether your home sits inside the 53004 ZIP code or nearby, we travel directly to your door. Similarly, our truck comes fully stocked with every professional tool required for a flawless spray job. In fact, we treat your property with absolute respect, leaving zero dust behind when we finish.
By the way, living near the chilly shores of Lake Michigan means your indoor fixtures take serious daily wear. Hence, hot baths during freezing Wisconsin winters remain an essential luxury for everyday wellness. So keeping your soaking basin shiny, functional, and inviting remains our top priority every time.
Interestingly, older houses built decades ago often feature handcrafted fixtures that modern factories just cannot replicate. Sadly, swapping an authentic clawfoot basin for a cheap acrylic liner lowers your overall property value. Instead, applying a fresh glossy layer preserves that historic charm while restoring absolute shine and structural strength.
Meanwhile, modern polymer coatings resist deep stains better than old worn-out factory enamel ever could. As a result, harsh mineral deposits from hard well water wipe away effortlessly with mild soap. Thus, maintaining your restored fixture requires barely any manual labor during weekly house cleaning chores.
Of course, slip resistance remains another massive advantage of our specialized resurfacing method. For instance, we can add a subtle textured bottom surface to keep kids and seniors safe. Exactly for this reason, your newly coated basin offers maximum safety alongside unmatched aesthetic appeal.
Clearly, caring for your recently recoated wash basin remains surprisingly easy for any homeowner. First off, avoid using aggressive abrasive powders or harsh wire pads that scratch delicate top coats. Instead, soft microfiber cloths paired with gentle liquid soaps keep the glossy shell looking bright.
Additionally, fixing leaky faucets right away stops persistent water drops from creating ugly mineral rings over time. To be fair, even tiny drips constantly hitting one spot can slowly wear down protective sealants. Ultimately, simple routine care guarantees your polished fixture stays gleaming for many happy years ahead.
Honestly, saving money on home repairs feels great, especially when prices keep rising everywhere else. Naturally, spending thousands on unnecessary plumbing tear-outs seems pretty silly when a simple recoating fixes everything. Consequently, smart budget-conscious owners choose our localized restoration process over expensive demolition projects every single time.
Furthermore, rental property managers rely heavily on quick turnaround times to get fresh tenants moving in. After all, waiting weeks for a full bathroom remodel causes lost rent income that quickly adds up. Thankfully, our rapid application process takes just hours, letting new renters use the shower almost immediately.
Likewise, preparing a residential home for the real estate market requires fast visual upgrades that boost value. Simply put, a sparkling white soaking tub instantly attracts potential buyers during competitive open house tours. Therefore, resurfacing tired yellowed basins delivers an incredible return on investment with zero hassle.
Surprisingly, keeping heavy old porcelain out of local landfills protects our beautiful local environment significantly. Indeed, throwing away massive steel or cast iron basins wastes huge amounts of raw materials unnecessarily. Instead, restoring your existing tub promotes smart recycling right inside your own residential footprint.
Because of this, eco-conscious homeowners feel fantastic about choosing modern restoration over trashy demolition. Besides, avoiding heavy freight shipping for new imported fixtures drastically reduces carbon emissions overall. In short, green home improvements help our planet while keeping cash safe inside your wallet.
Usually, folks wonder how long our advanced synthetic finish actually stays pristine under daily household use. Gladly, when properly cared for, your freshly coated wash basin easily lasts well over a decade. Furthermore, our specialized formulas chemically bond with old underlying bases so peeling never becomes an issue.
Similarly, people often ask if we can transform faded wild colors from the 1970s like avocado green. Definitely, our thick modern pigments completely hide dated pink, yellow, or dark turquoise shades without bleeding through. Eventually, you get a clean bright white aesthetic that instantly modernizes your entire living space.
Also, many clients ask how quickly they can jump back into a warm soothing bath. Fortunately, our modern fast-curing compounds dry fully within just twenty-four short hours after application. Thus, your daily routine faces minimal disruption while your living area receives an incredible cosmetic transformation.
Finally, taking the first step toward a stunning refreshed wash basin costs you absolutely nothing at all. Straightforwardly, our friendly local crew provides zero-obligation estimates tailored specifically to your home's unique layout.

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 Belgium, 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.
