A dull or chipped tub in Bighorn 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 you look at your old tub every morning and sigh at that ugly, chipped surface.

Instead of ripping out a perfectly solid heavy cast iron basin, this smart method applies a high-performance liquid coating directly over the existing structure. First, we meticulously clean the old area with special acid cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. Consequently, the new materials can grab onto the original base with a super strong chemical bond.
Next, we repair any deep scratches, rust spots, or ugly chips using a specialized waterproof filler. After sanding everything flat, we spray on a high-tech primer followed by several coats of a premium acrylic urethane topcoat. Finally, this fresh layer cures into a glossy, durable shield that looks exactly like brand new porcelain.
To help you understand how this compares to other common bathroom updates, we put together a quick comparison table below.
| Project Type | Average Duration | Mess Factor | Relative Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Tub Replacement | 3 to 5 Days | Very High (Dust & Noise) | Expensive |
| Acrylic Tub Liner | 1 Day | Low (But risks water traps) | Moderate |
| Professional Resurfacing | 4 to 6 Hours | Minimal (Clean & Fast) | Very Budget-Friendly |
Opting for this smart restoration path saves you a massive amount of time. While a traditional contractor might leave your bathroom unusable for a week, our process lets you take a relaxing bath again in just twenty-four hours. This means your daily routine suffers almost zero disruption.
Another major plus is the sheer amount of money you keep in your bank account. Since you do not have to pay for expensive demolition, new drywall, or complex plumbing rerouting, you can spend those savings on other home projects. Plus, you get a beautiful, glossy finish that is incredibly easy to wipe clean.
Additionally, keeping your old fixture out of the local landfill is a great choice for our beautiful Montana environment. Since cast iron and heavy steel tubs take forever to decompose, restoring them on-site is the ultimate green remodeling choice. You get a gorgeous bathroom while doing your part to protect our wide-open spaces.
You might see cheap paint-on kits at the local hardware store and think about tackling this job yourself over the weekend. However, those retail store products usually consist of cheap epoxy paint that easily rolls on but quickly peels off within a few months. Without professional ventilation equipment, the fumes can also become incredibly overwhelming inside a small bathroom.
Our experienced team uses commercial-grade bonding agents that are simply not available to the public. Because we use advanced spray systems instead of rollers, we achieve a perfectly smooth glass-like finish without any brush marks or ugly drips. We also back up our craftsmanship with solid warranties to give you total peace of mind.
Moreover, proper surface preparation requires working with strong etching acids that can be quite dangerous if you do not have the right safety gear. We know exactly how to handle these chemicals safely while protecting your surrounding tile, floors, and chrome fixtures. We take care of the scary stuff so you can just enjoy the beautiful results.
Once we finish our work, maintaining that gorgeous luster is actually simpler than looking after an old, porous surface. Because the new non-porous topcoat resists dirt and mildew, you will never have to scrub on your hands and knees with abrasive powders again. In fact, using harsh bleach or gritty cleansers will actually dull the shine over time.
Instead, we recommend using a mild liquid dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner along with a soft microfiber cloth. This simple routine keeps the surface looking brand new while protecting the chemical bond for up to fifteen years. Just a quick wipe down after your shower is all it takes to maintain that brilliant reflection.
Also, it is smart to avoid leaving wet washcloths or heavy shampoo bottles sitting directly on the rim for long periods. By letting the surface dry properly between uses, you prevent any moisture from getting trapped underneath. These tiny habits ensure your investment stays beautiful for a very long time.

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 Bighorn, 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.
