All over Boone County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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 instantly transform your worn-out, dated bathroom into a bright sanctuary without spending a fortune on a massive demolition project. This smart surface restoration process breathes brand-new life into your dull, stained tub by applying a durable, high-gloss protective coating right over your existing fixture. We travel directly to your home in the local area to deliver a flawless, glassy finish that makes your old basin look like it just rolled off the showroom floor.
This budget-friendly alternative to full replacement saves you thousands of dollars while eliminating the loud, dusty chaos of traditional remodeling. By choosing this clever refinishing method, you keep your original heavy-duty tub in place and avoid the risk of damaging your wall tiles or plumbing during a tear-out. Our friendly team handles every step of the preparation and application, so you can enjoy a sparkling, refreshed bathing space in just a single day.
When you look closely at your current wash basin, you might notice stubborn rust stains, deep scratches, or an ugly, outdated color that screams decades past. This special chemical bonding process solves all those cosmetic issues by fusing a fresh, ultra-durable acrylic coating to your worn porcelain, cast iron, or fiberglass. Since we use advanced bonding agents, the new layer sticks permanently and resists peeling, cracking, or yellowing over the years.
Actually, many older tubs boast a much thicker, sturdier construction than the cheap plastic replicas you find at big-box home improvement stores today. Keeping your original fixture means you retain that heavy, heat-retaining quality while enjoying a surface that looks and feels completely brand new. Our meticulous process seals up porous areas where mold and mildew love to hide, which makes your daily cleaning routine much easier.
Now, you might wonder if this is just a quick cosmetic cover-up that will wear off after a few hot showers. This professional application is a highly technical procedure involving acid etching, precision repairs of chips or cracks, and multiple sprayed coats of a premium topcoat. Because we take the time to prep the underlying material perfectly, the final result stands up to daily use and keeps its brilliant shine for years to come.
Imagine having to hire a plumber, a tile setter, and a drywall contractor just to replace one single, stubborn piece of your bathroom. That nightmare vanishes when you opt for our specialized on-site renewal service because we complete the entire job from start to finish without disturbing your walls or pipes. This means you do not have to worry about unexpected plumbing disasters or costly structural repairs hidden behind your old drywall.
To give you a clear picture of what to expect, we have laid out how our service compares to a traditional bathroom remodel:
| Comparison Factors | Our Renewal Service | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | 4 to 6 hours | 3 to 7 days of chaos |
| Demolition Mess & Dust | Virtually none | Extremely high |
| Need for New Plumbing | No plumbing changes required | Usually mandatory and costly |
| Total Financial Investment | Very affordable | Very expensive |
This handy comparison shows how much time, stress, and hard-earned cash you save when you choose to restore instead of replace. Our technicians arrive fully equipped with advanced ventilation systems to draw fumes safely out of your home while they spray the new surface. Consequently, your bathroom remains clean, organized, and ready to use again after a very brief curing window.
We proudly serve homeowners throughout the beautiful, rolling hills of Boone County, West Virginia, where hardworking families appreciate smart home improvement solutions that deliver real value. Whether you live in Madison, Danville, or any of the surrounding cozy communities, our mobile team brings all the necessary professional gear right to your doorstep. This peaceful region, home to over twenty-one thousand residents, features a mix of classic historic homes and modern residences, all of which we are fully equipped to service.
Since the median household income in this scenic area is around forty-five thousand dollars, finding cost-effective ways to maintain your property value is incredibly important. Many local homes in ZIP codes like 25130, 25051, and 25181 feature older, high-quality fixtures that are well worth saving rather than throwing into a landfill. By choosing our local restoration services, you invest directly back into your property without straining your household budget or dealing with out-of-town contractors.
On top of that, we understand the specific water conditions and humidity patterns of the Appalachian region, which can sometimes cause mineral buildup and staining on older porcelain. Our heavy-duty coatings are specifically engineered to withstand these local elements, ensuring your newly finished basin remains sparkling white and resistant to hard water deposits. We love helping our neighbors upgrade their homes, and we treat every single bathroom with the utmost respect and care.
You have probably seen those cheap, brush-on paint kits at your local hardware store and wondered if you could handle this project yourself over the weekend. Unfortunately, those retail packages contain simple epoxy paints that roll on unevenly, leave ugly brush marks, and usually start peeling within just a few months. Professional restoration requires specialized spray equipment, commercial-grade bonding agents, and highly toxic compounds that demand proper safety respirators and ventilation.
Without the right acid-etching primers, the new paint layer will quickly lift off when exposed to hot water and soapy suds. Our multi-step preparation process chemically alters the surface of your old tub so the new coating actually molecularly fuses with the original material. This level of durability is simply impossible to achieve with a hardware store kit, no matter how carefully you follow the directions on the box.
Furthermore, repairing deep chips, rust spots, or fiberglass cracks requires professional-grade fillers and experienced hands to sand everything perfectly flat. If you leave even a tiny imperfection, it will stand out like a sore thumb once the high-gloss topcoat is applied. We bring years of hands-on experience to every job, ensuring a glassy, glass-smooth texture that feels fantastic against your skin.
Once our team finishes applying your gorgeous new protective finish, caring for it is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, worn-out tub. Because the new non-porous layer resists dirt and soap scum, you will never have to use harsh abrasive powders or steel wool ever again. This means you can keep your bathing space looking pristine with just a quick wipe-down using a mild dish soap and a soft sponge.
To help you get the absolute most out of your restored fixture, we suggest following a few simple guidelines to protect the surface from unnecessary wear:
By following these easy, common-sense tips, you can keep your restored wash basin looking absolutely spectacular for a decade or more. Our durable coatings are designed to handle the daily hustle and bustle of busy family life, giving you peace of mind and a clean place to relax.

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, 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.
