A dull or chipped tub in Blaine 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 stare at that dingy, stained wash basin every single day while wondering if a sledgehammer is the only solution.

Our local team specializes in giving old, dull bathroom fixtures a gorgeous, shiny new surface without the mess of a remodel.
By choosing this smart restoration method, you save thousands of dollars compared to buying a brand-new fixture.
Which means you can spend that extra cash on something much more fun than plumbing.
We come right to your home in Whatcom County to make your old tub look like it just rolled off the showroom floor.
Most folks do not realize that the actual structure of their old cast iron or steel tub is incredibly tough. These vintage beauties were built to last for generations, unlike the flimsy plastic replacements you find in stores today. Our specialized process focuses on applying a high-tech, durable coating right over your current fixture to lock in a fresh look.
This advanced chemical bonding process completely seals up old, porous surfaces where nasty mold and mildew love to hide.
As a result, your daily cleaning routine becomes a quick, effortless wipe-down rather than a painful scrubbing session.
You get to enjoy a gleaming, glossy finish that resists stains and looks incredibly high-end.
Our friendly crew takes care of every single step, from the intense deep cleaning to the final topcoat application.
Because we do all the prep work ourselves, you do not have to worry about a thing.
We handle the messy details so you can just sit back and watch the transformation happen.
Have you ever tried to wiggle a massive piece of cast iron out through a narrow bathroom doorway? It usually requires ripping out drywall, destroying floor tiles, and hiring expensive plumbers to reroute your old pipes. On top of that, you might find hidden water damage behind the walls that drains your bank account instantly.
Choosing our professional resurfacing service avoids all of those chaotic, dusty construction headaches entirely.
We complete the entire transformation in just a single afternoon, leaving your bathroom clean and usable within twenty-four hours.
This keeps your home life peaceful and keeps your hard-earned savings right where they belong.
| Feature of Resurfacing | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| No plumbing demolition | Saves you thousands of dollars in labor |
| Completed in one day | Minimal disruption to your busy daily schedule |
| Non-porous acrylic barrier | Prevents mold growth and makes cleaning easy |
| Durable glossy finish | Restores the original shine and beauty of your tub |
First, we meticulously clean the entire area to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This step is absolutely critical because even the tiniest speck of dirt can ruin the bond of the new coating. We use specialized industrial cleaners that safely prep the surface for the next steps.
Next, we carefully patch up any deep scratches, ugly chips, or rusty spots that have developed over the years. We use high-strength fillers that cure quickly to create a perfectly flat, seamless surface. This ensures the final finish looks completely smooth, with absolutely no bumps or imperfections showing through.
After the repairs are complete, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically fuses the new layer to the old porcelain.
This is the secret sauce that prevents peeling and bubbling down the road.
Our system ensures your new surface stays firmly anchored for years to come.
Then, our skilled technician uses precision spray equipment to apply several layers of a premium acrylic urethane coating. This material is specifically designed to withstand constant hot water, moisture, and daily wear and tear. We build up the thickness carefully to ensure maximum durability and a deep, mirror-like gloss.
Once the final coat is dry, we carefully remove all of our protective masking tape and clean up our workspace.
We leave your bathroom looking spotless, with only a beautiful, refreshed bathing fixture left behind.
You will honestly think we swapped your old tub for a brand-new one while you were not looking.
Living up here in the northwestern tip of the state means we experience some chilly, damp winters. Because of this moisture, keeping our bathrooms clean and free of mildew can feel like a full-time job.

To keep your beautiful new surface looking incredible, you just need to follow a few simple guidelines. Always avoid harsh abrasive cleaners, abrasive scrub pads, or bleach, which can dull the shiny finish over time. Instead, use mild dish soaps or gentle spray cleaners and a soft microfiber cloth.
We also recommend avoiding leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy metal cans directly on the ledges for long periods.
Simple habits like rinsing the surface after each use will keep it sparkling like new.
With just a tiny bit of love, your restored finish will easily last for many years.

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 Blaine, 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.
