A dull or chipped tub in Braham 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.

Many homeowners confuse this specialized refinishing process with cheap DIY paint kits that peel off after a few hot showers. Actually, professional bonding agents fuse directly with the original porcelain or fiberglass on a molecular level. This creates a completely new, non-porous skin that resists scratches and yellowing for many years to come.
Since we use industrial-grade spray equipment, the final result looks incredibly smooth and factory-fresh. You will never see brush strokes or uneven drips when our technicians finish the job. On top of that, the entire process takes less than a single day from start to finish.
This fast turnaround time keeps your daily routine running smoothly without major disruptions. Which means your family can get back to using the bathroom by the very next evening. It is the ultimate shortcut to a modern home upgrade.
| Restoration Aspect | Traditional Replacement | Our Professional Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very high (often $3,000+) | Extremely budget-friendly |
| Time Required | Up to a week of construction | Finished in 4 to 6 hours |
| Mess & Dust | High amount of drywall and tile debris | Virtually zero mess left behind |
First, we meticulously clean the old surface with specialized acid-free cleaners to remove decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This step is absolutely critical because even a tiny speck of oil can ruin the adhesion of the new coating. After that, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks with a durable waterproof filler.
Next, we apply a proprietary chemical bonding agent that acts like a super-glue for the new finish. Then, we spray several coats of a high-tech acrylic polymer resin using precise ventilation systems to keep odors out of your living space. This careful layering process ensures a thick, protective barrier that handles daily bathing with ease.
Finally, we cure the surface and apply a beautiful polish that highlights the rich depth of the new color. You get to enjoy a gorgeous, pristine basin that feels incredibly smooth against your skin. It completely changes the vibe of your entire washroom.
Living in Isanti County means appreciating honest work and smart savings that keep more money in your pocket. Our small community of 1,854 residents knows the value of preserving classic craftsmanship instead of throwing it in a landfill. We take pride in helping our neighbors update their homes throughout the 55006 ZIP code area.
With a median household income of $44,732, smart budgeting is a priority for most families around here. Spending a fortune on a complete bathroom overhaul just does not make sense when you can achieve the same aesthetic result for a fraction of the cost. We love delivering high-end looks without the high-end price tag.
Our team understands the specific historic homes in this beautiful region of Minnesota, USA. Many older properties feature gorgeous vintage cast iron fixtures that are built way better than modern plastic alternatives. Preserving these original assets while updating their look is our specialty.
Choosing to renew your existing fixture prevents hundreds of pounds of heavy porcelain and cast iron from clogging up local landfills. This eco-friendly decision reduces the demand for manufacturing new plastic and acrylic units. You can feel great about making a green choice for your home and the planet.
Additionally, we use low-VOC materials to ensure your indoor air quality remains safe and breathable. Our advanced exhaust fans pull all fumes directly out of your window during the application process. This keeps your pets and kids perfectly safe while we work.
Keeping your newly restored basin looking pristine is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, worn-out surface. Because the new glaze is non-porous, dirt and soap scum cannot find a place to stick. You only need a mild, non-abrasive liquid cleaner and a soft sponge to wipe it clean.
You should definitely avoid harsh abrasive powders or bleach, which can dull the glossy finish over time. Using a squeegee after your shower also helps prevent mineral deposits from building up. These simple habits keep your washroom looking like a luxury hotel suite for a decade or more.
Are you ready to stop hiding your outdated bathroom behind a heavy shower curtain? We are standing by to visit your home and provide a completely free, no-obligation estimate for your project.

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 Braham, 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.
