A dull or chipped tub in Brookfield 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You look at that stained, outdated tub every single morning and feel a wave of frustration wash over you. Replacing a heavy cast iron or steel tub requires tearing out walls, paying thousands to plumbers, and dealing with days of messy construction in your home. Happily, a much smarter and faster alternative exists to make your current tub look brand new without the demo headache.
Our local team specializes in restoring the slick, beautiful surface of your existing tub right where it sits. We help homeowners save time and money by applying a durable, high-gloss finish that breathes new life into tired bathrooms. Click here today to request your free estimate and let us transform your bathroom without the high cost of a remodel.
Many folks do not realize that you can actually renew the surface of an old fixture instead of throwing it in the landfill. This specialized process involves deep cleaning the old porcelain or fiberglass, repairing any deep chips, and applying a industrial-grade bonding agent. After that, we spray a tough, high-gloss acrylic coating that bonds at a molecular level to create a gorgeous finish.
This means you get a sparkling clean tub that looks like it just came from the showroom floor. Because we do all the work right in place, you avoid the mess of tearing down drywall or disturbing old plumbing pipes. The entire process takes only a single day, which lets you get back to your normal routine almost immediately.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple breakdown of how this smart restoration method stacks up against a traditional replacement project.
| Feature | Our Restoration Service | Full Replacement Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, budget-friendly | Extremely high, lots of hidden fees |
| Time to Complete | Finished in less than 24 hours | Can take a week or more of messy work |
| Mess & Dust | Minimal, we seal off the room | Incredibly dusty, ruins old drywall |
| Durability | Lasts for many years with simple care | New tub can chip just as easily |
Living in Linn County means appreciating practical, cost-effective solutions that keep our homes looking great without breaking the bank. Our lovely community of about 4,481 residents value hard work and smart spending, especially when the median household income sits around $31,871. Spending several thousand dollars on a messy bathroom remodel just does not make sense when a beautiful restoration does the trick for a fraction of the price.
Whether you live in a historic home near the heart of town or a cozy ranch style house in the 64628 ZIP code area, we come directly to your door. We understand the specific plumbing setups common in this part of Missouri, which allows us to handle every job with local care and expertise. You get the personal touch of a neighborly service provider who respects your home and your hard-earned dollar.
Additionally, keeping old fixtures out of the local waste stream helps preserve our beautiful Midwestern environment. Restoring your existing fixture is the ultimate form of recycling because it uses way fewer resources than manufacturing and shipping a brand-new tub. You can take pride in making an eco-friendly choice that also keeps your wallet happy.
First, we meticulously clean the entire surface using specialized cleaners to remove decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. This step is absolutely crucial because the new coating needs a perfectly clean surface to stick to. If there are any rusty spots, deep scratches, or ugly chips, we patch them up using high-strength waterproof fillers.
Next, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to protect your vanity, floors, and walls from any overspray. We also set up a powerful exhaust fan system to vent any paint fumes safely out of the nearest window. This professional setup keeps your indoor air clean and ensures a safe working environment for everyone in the house.
Then, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor between the old surface and the new coating. After the primer cures, we spray multiple layers of a premium aliphatic acrylic polyurethane topcoat using professional spray equipment. This creates a thick, uniform layer that cures into a rock-hard finish with an incredible shine.
Once our team finishes the job, you only need to wait about twenty-four hours before you can jump in and enjoy a warm bath. To keep that beautiful shine looking fresh for years to come, you must avoid abrasive scrubbing powders or harsh bleach products. Simple dish soap or mild spray cleaners work beautifully to wipe away dirt without scratching the protective topcoat.
Using a soft sponge instead of a scratchy green pad will ensure the surface remains smooth and glossy. Since the new finish is non-porous, dirt and grime actually slide right off, making your weekly cleaning chores much easier than before. You will spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees and more time enjoying your beautiful bathroom.
Are you ready to say goodbye to that ugly, stained tub and hello to a bright, clean bathroom you can actually feel proud of? Our friendly team is ready to drive out to your home, inspect your fixture, and give you a detailed, honest quote at absolutely zero cost to you. We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees or pushy sales tactics.

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 Brookfield, 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.
