A dull or chipped tub in Bena 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 can easily request your free estimate today and take the first step toward a beautiful home.
Instead of ripping out old cast iron or fiberglass, we apply a high-tech liquid acrylic coating.
This bonding agent fuses directly with the original material to create a tough, non-porous barrier.
As a result, your old tub looks and feels like it just came from the showroom floor.
First, we meticulously clean the area using industrial-strength cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum.
After that, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks with specialized waterproof fillers.
This step is super important because even tiny imperfections can ruin the final look if they get ignored.
Next, we spray a premium topcoat using professional high-volume, low-pressure equipment for an ultra-smooth finish.
To ensure your home stays safe, we set up powerful ventilation fans to pull any strong chemical fumes outside.
Once the new surface cures, you are left with a glittering, durable shield that resists future staining.
When you look at the actual costs of a traditional bathroom remodel, the numbers get scary fast.
For instance, a brand new tub might only cost a few hundred bucks at the local hardware store.
However, the sneaky expenses like plumbing reruns, new tile work, and disposal fees quickly add up to thousands.
To help you compare your options, we put together this simple breakdown of the two paths:
| Project Factor | Full Replacement Method | Our Specialized Surface Renewal |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very expensive ($3,000 - $8,000) | Highly budget-friendly ($400 - $900) |
| Total Time | One to two weeks of mess | Only four to eight hours |
| Debris Created | Tons of dusty drywall and heavy trash | Zero landfill waste |
Now, you can clearly see why smart homeowners prefer our fast and clean alternative.
By keeping your existing fixture, you avoid the risk of hidden mold behind your old bathroom walls.
Plus, you get to keep using your bathroom almost immediately instead of waiting for weeks.
We proudly serve the tiny, scenic community of Bena, Minnesota, where we understand the unique needs of local properties.
With a cozy local population of just 109 people, every single neighborly relationship we build really matters to us.
We know that folks living here in Cass County appreciate honest, high-quality work that fits within a realistic budget.
Considering the local median household income of $19,583, spending a fortune on home renovations simply does not make sense.
Our affordable surface transformation helps you maintain your property value without draining your savings account.
Whether your home sits near the lake or right in town, we cover the entire 56626 ZIP code area.
Because our weather gets incredibly cold, we use materials designed to handle temperature shifts without cracking.
This means your shiny new coating will expand and contract safely during those freezing winter months.
You can trust our local hands-on experience to deliver a finish that stands up to real life.
Almost any old fixture can be saved, including heavy cast iron, pressed steel, and modern acrylic models.
Even if your current setup is a bizarre shade of 1970s avocado green, we can turn it pure white.
Actually, we can even match custom colors if you want to get creative with your bathroom design.
On the other hand, we always like to be completely honest about fixtures that might be too far gone.
If your metal tub has rusted completely through with giant holes, a replacement might be your only safe option.
But if it just has surface rust, minor chips, or a dull finish, we can absolutely make it look brand new.
To give you the best advice, we examine the structural integrity of your fixture during our initial visit.
This face-to-face inspection ensures we never apply our coatings to a surface that will fail later on.
Our main goal is to give you a long-lasting solution that brings real satisfaction for many years.
Once we finish our magic, caring for your renewed fixture is actually incredibly easy and straightforward.
You must avoid abrasive scouring powders or harsh scrubbing pads because they can dull the glossy finish over time.
Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or gentle liquid cleaners with a soft microfiber cloth.
On top of that, keeping your dripping faucets repaired will prevent yellow water stains from forming around the drain.
Which means you will spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees during your weekly cleaning chore.
By following these basic guidelines, your beautiful gloss will remain bright and smooth for up to fifteen years.
Sometimes, homeowners ask if they can use suction-cup bath mats on their newly coated surfaces.
We always advise against them because pulling the cups up can eventually weaken the bond of the coating.
Instead, we can apply a permanent, slip-resistant texture to the bottom of your tub during the application process.
You do not have to live with a dingy, hard-to-clean bathroom for another single day.
Our friendly team is ready to drive out to your property, look at your project, and give you a detailed price.
Remember, this estimate is entirely free, and you are under absolutely no obligation to hire us afterward.
This lets you plan your budget carefully while getting expert advice from people who care about your home.

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 Bena, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
