A dull or chipped tub in Brodhead 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 ugly stained basin in your bathroom every single morning. Luckily local pros can spray a fresh coating to make it look brand new again. This lets you save thousands over a total tearout.
Maybe your vintage home features fixtures that have seen better decades. Yet replacing them means destroying tile and plumbing just to get the old metal out. Therefore spraying a fresh polymer finish right over the existing shell makes complete sense.
Homeownership brings endless chores especially in Green County where houses face harsh weather shifts. Luckily updating your bathing enclosure requires zero demolition work. This means you avoid weeks of messy construction dust floating through your hallways.
First workers scrub away decades of soap scum and hard water scale using strong chemical strippers. After that step they etch the porcelain so the new bonding agent actually sticks. This guarantees your investment will last for many years without peeling.
Next comes taping off the walls and floors to protect your surrounding tiles. Then technicians mix specialized resins in a portable sprayer system. Consequently you get a smooth factory finish that resists daily wear and tear.
Now the actual coating goes on in multiple thin layers to build proper thickness. This gives you a gorgeous glossy shield that feels amazing against your skin. Best of all the entire procedure takes only a single afternoon.
Workers use industrial ventilation fans to push out harsh paint fumes while they work. Therefore your indoor air stays safe and breathable during the treatment. Following that they pull up all the masking tape and clean the space.
People living across ZIP codes 53520 love keeping their historic properties looking sharp without breaking the bank. With a median household income around $42545 every home repair dollar needs careful stretching. That is why refinishing your soaking tub instead of replacing it remains the smartest financial choice.
Our community has a population of 3275 residents who value practical solutions for home upkeep. Meanwhile vintage clawfoot models and modern acrylic units both suffer from chips over time. Fortunately reviving these tired surfaces brings instant joy to your daily routine.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Four Thousand Dollars | Two Weeks |
| Surface Spraying | Five Hundred Dollars | One Day |
Furthermore hiring regional contractors keeps your money circulating within our local economy. Local specialists understand the unique plumbing challenges found in older midwestern houses. Thus you receive tailored advice that big box franchises simply cannot match.
Many homeowners make the mistake of using abrasive scouring powders on their delicate porcelain surfaces. Unfortunately this scratches the protective glaze and invites stubborn dirt to settle in deep. Instead you should stick to mild dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth.
Another frequent error involves ignoring minor chips until they turn into massive rust spots. When moisture reaches the cast iron underneath things get much harder to fix. Therefore addressing minor blemishes early prevents expensive structural repairs down the road.
Ignoring proper ventilation after a hot shower creates trapped humidity that breeds mold and mildew. Consequently your shiny new coat needs adequate airflow to stay pristine and mold free. Simple habits like cracking a window make a huge difference in longevity.
Do you scrub your washing basin until your arms ache with zero visible improvement. Sometimes porous enamel absorbs rust and dye permanently over decades of heavy family use. This tells you the factory seal has worn away completely.
Instead of living with embarrassing discoloration you can request a smooth new barrier. This lets you enjoy a bright white basin that looks stunning to any visiting guests. Plus cleaning becomes wonderfully easy again because dirt slides right off the slick polymer.
Does your skin catch on tiny hairline fractures when you step in for a soak. Such damage traps bacteria and makes proper sanitation almost impossible no matter how much bleach you use. Fortunately our spraying technique fills those microscopic gaps instantly.
Leaving those cracks alone lets water seep into your subfloor and rot the wooden framing. Repairing structural water damage costs a small fortune compared to a simple surface restoration. Acting quickly saves your bank account from painful surprises.

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 Brodhead, 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.
