In Berkeley, the Denver technician we send repairs, sprays and caulks your tub where it stands.
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 bathing basin looks like a crime scene from decades ago because of those ugly stains. Naturally, you want a fresh, clean space where you can actually relax after a long day. Fortunately, our team of local surface restoration wizards can make that worn-out fixture shine like the day it was made.
Now, you might think you need to rip out the entire unit and start over. However, that noisy process will destroy your bathroom walls and cost you a small fortune. This is where our specialized resurfacing process saves your wallet and your sanity.
By choosing this smart update, you avoid the dusty nightmare of demolition. Which means you can use your gorgeous, shiny bathroom again in just a matter of hours. Honestly, it is the best home improvement shortcut out there today.
Instead of throwing away a perfectly solid cast iron or steel tub, we give it a tough new skin. First, we carefully clean the existing porcelain to strip away years of soap scum and hard water deposits. This crucial step ensures the new coating bonds perfectly to the original structure underneath.
After that, we repair any deep chips or rust spots that make your bathroom look neglected. You will see those annoying imperfections vanish under our specialized filler material. Then, we apply a high-tech bonding agent that acts like superglue for the liquid acrylic topcoat.
Finally, we spray on several layers of a premium polyurethane resin coating using professional equipment. This creates a glossy, non-porous finish that resists scratches and looks incredibly bright. Plus, it seals the old surface so mold and mildew cannot find a place to hide anymore.
| Restoration Step | What We Do | Concrete Benefit For You |
|---|---|---|
| Etching and Cleaning | Remove old residue and oils | Ensures the new finish sticks forever |
| Damage Repair | Fix chips, cracks, and rust | Prevents future leaks and looks flawless |
| Bonding Agent | Apply molecular primer | Guarantees the coating will not peel |
| Topcoat Spraying | Apply multiple acrylic layers | Provides a beautiful, easy-to-clean shine |
Many homeowners do not realize that old cast iron tubs are actually superior in quality to modern plastic ones. If you try to remove that heavy beast, you will likely have to cut it into pieces with a saw. On top of that, you will have to hire plumbers to fix the pipes that inevitably get damaged during the struggle.
Once you add up the cost of new tiles, drywall repairs, and expensive plumbing labor, your budget will explode. That simple project can easily spiral into thousands of dollars of unexpected expenses. Thankfully, our on-site surface renewal service bypasses all that drama completely.
We do all the work right inside your home without disturbing your walls or floor. This lets you keep your high-quality vintage fixture while getting rid of the outdated color or ugly stains. It is a win-win situation for your home aesthetic and your bank account.
When your bathing area looks dingy, it affects how you feel about your entire home. You might feel embarrassed when guests visit and ask to use your bathroom. Even worse, rough and worn surfaces are incredibly difficult to scrub clean no matter how hard you try.
This happens because the original protective glaze has worn away over decades of scrubby cleansers. As a result, dirt and body oils get trapped inside the microscopic pores of the exposed porcelain. Which means you waste hours of your weekend scrubbing a surface that will never look clean anyway.
Our restoration service seals those pores forever with a slick, glass-like barrier. Suddenly, keeping your bathroom clean becomes as simple as wiping it down with a soft sponge. You get to reclaim your free time and enjoy a sparkling home without the hard labor.
We love working in this beautiful, historic pocket of Jefferson County, right on the edge of the Mile High City. In this charming neighborhood of Berkeley, Colorado, many homes feature gorgeous mid-century architecture and classic bathrooms. We take great pride in helping local homeowners preserve these historic elements while updating them for modern living.
Since this unincorporated community sits close to busy urban centers, we know how much you value your peace and quiet. Our team arrives on time, works cleanly, and respects your living space from start to finish. We even use advanced exhaust systems to pull any fumes out of your house while we work.
Whether you live near the beautiful parks or the bustling local businesses, we are just a quick drive away. We understand the unique plumbing quirks of the homes in this area, especially those built during the mid-1900s. You can trust us to handle your antique fixtures with the utmost care and professionalism.
To keep your renewed fixture looking spectacular, you must throw away those harsh abrasive cleansers. Bleach and scratchy scrubbing powders will eventually dull the beautiful glossy finish we create. Instead, we recommend using mild, eco-friendly liquid soaps that dissolve grime naturally.
Additionally, you should avoid using suction-cup bath mats because they can pull at the new coating over time. If you need extra traction, we can actually install a permanent slip-resistant surface directly into the bottom of the tub. This keeps your family safe while protecting the integrity of the gorgeous new finish.
If you follow these simple care steps, your restored wash basin can easily last for over a decade. It is a small change in your cleaning routine that pays off in long-term beauty and durability. You will love how easy it is to maintain that fresh, bright look day after day.
Are you ready to stop squinting at those ugly stains and enjoy a beautiful bathroom again? We make the entire process incredibly easy for you, starting with a completely free cost estimate. Our friendly technician will inspect your fixture, explain the process, and give you an honest price with no hidden fees.
Because we believe in transparent service, we will never pressure you into making a quick decision. We want you to feel completely confident that we are the right team for your home improvement project. There is absolutely no risk or obligation to find out how much money you can save with us.
So, do not spend another week ignoring that eyesore of a bathroom. Contact us today to schedule your free consultation and take the first step toward a gorgeous home update. We look forward to showing you the incredible difference our skilled restoration work can make!
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 Berkeley, 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.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
