A dull or chipped tub in Bolckow 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.
Are you tired of looking at that old chipped basin in your bathroom? Fortunately, you can fix that eyesome surface without spending thousands on a full gut job.
By using our professional resurfacing service right here in Andrew County, you get a brand new look for a fraction of the cost.
When your porcelain gets all stained and rough, buying a brand new one hurts your wallet bad. Instead of tearing down walls, our crew sprays a hard acrylic coating right over your existing unit. This saves you tons of cash while giving you a glossy finish that looks like it just came from the showroom.
Because pulling out an old cast iron shell takes heavy labor and plumbing work, you dodge those extra bills completely. That means you keep more money in your pocket for other home projects around the house.
Nobody wants a bathroom torn apart for weeks on end while workers stomp through the house. Luckily, our crew finishes the entire project in just one single day so you get your space back fast. Within twenty four hours, that newly coated surface cures completely and stands ready for your daily showers.
Since we handle all the prep work and spraying without removing the plumbing, you avoid major remodeling headaches. This lets you enjoy your updated room without any crazy construction mess dragging on.
Before any bonding agent touches your tub, we scrub every square inch to get rid of soap scum and body oils. Then we etch the surface so the new primer grabs on tightly and never peels up later. This careful prep work guarantees that your fresh coating stays stuck for many years down the road.
Without this deep cleaning step, even the best paint would bubble right off the porcelain within months. Therefore, our technicians never skip this vital part of the job.
Next, we mask off your surrounding tile and floors to protect your bathroom from stray overspray droplets. Then we apply multiple coats of industrial grade acrylic urethane using a specialized HVLP spray gun. This gives you a thick and uniform layer that resists daily wear and tear like a champ.
As a result, your fixture gains a smooth barrier that stops mold from growing in tiny cracks and pits. You will notice how much easier it is to wipe down the surface during your weekly cleaning routine.
Living in a quiet rural community means you expect honest work from folks who treat your property with respect. With a tiny population of just one hundred fifty nine residents, everyone knows the value of a fair deal and solid craftsmanship. We drive out to your home right here in the area to provide top notch service without any hassle.
Even though the median household income sits around thirty seven thousand nine hundred seventeen dollars, updating your home should not break the bank. Our budget friendly approach fits right into your financial plans so you never have to stress about hidden fees.
Cheap DIY kits from the hardware store often peel and turn yellow after only a few months of use. On the contrary, our professional grade resins bond permanently to porcelain, fiberglass, and acrylic surfaces alike. This high durability means you do not have to worry about chipping when you drop a shampoo bottle.
By investing in professional application today, you prevent costly water leaks caused by underlying cracks in the old material. That protects your subflooring from rotting out over time.
With proper care and gentle cleaning products, your renewed basin easily lasts for ten to fifteen years before needing any touch ups. Naturally, you should avoid using abrasive scouring powders that dull the glossy shine over time. Instead, grab a mild dish soap and a soft sponge to keep everything looking pristine.
Following these simple guidelines ensures your investment pays off for a very long time.
Minor chips and deep gouges present no problem for our skilled repair technicians on site. Before we apply the final topcoat, we fill all imperfections with waterproof body filler and sand them completely flat. This makes those ugly blemishes disappear as if they were never even there.
Your finished product will look completely uniform and smooth from every single angle.

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 Bolckow, 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.
