A dull or chipped tub in Buford 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 wake up every single morning only to stare at that dated, stained tub that looks like it survived a prehistoric era. Replacing that beast requires ripping out tiles, paying thousands of dollars, and dealing with dusty construction crews for weeks. Fortunately, a smart alternative exists that saves your wallet and your sanity by spraying a durable, glossy new coating right over your existing fixture.
This budget-friendly magic trick completely transforms your worn-out surface in just a single day. Our local team comes straight to your home to handle the entire process from start to finish. We are happy to offer a free estimate so you can plan your home upgrade with zero financial pressure.
Many folks confuse this specialized process with simple DIY painting kits you buy at the local hardware store. In reality, those cheap retail kits peel off within a few months and leave a sticky, uneven mess behind. Our professional method involves heavy-duty industrial bonding agents and premium acrylic coatings that fuse directly to your original cast iron or steel tub.
First, we meticulously clean the area to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks so the foundation is completely smooth. Finally, we spray on several coats of a high-tech glaze that cures into a rock-hard, gleaming finish.
This process means you get to keep your heavy, high-quality old fixture while enjoying a sparkling clean surface. You will save a mountain of cash compared to the high costs of hiring plumbers and tile setters. Plus, you avoid the absolute nightmare of landfilling a perfectly functional piece of cast iron.
To help you see the big picture, we put together a quick comparison table showing how this smart updates stacks up against traditional replacement.
| Factor | Professional Surface Coating | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Average Time | 4 to 6 hours | 3 to 7 days of mess |
| Mess Level | Very low, fully contained | Extremely high dust and noise |
| Total Cost | Highly affordable | Very expensive plumbing and tiling |
| Durability | 10 to 15 years with proper care | Lifetime, but with high upfront cost |
As you can see, opting to recoat your fixture keeps your hard-earned money in your bank account. On top of that, you get to use your bathroom again in just a couple of days. That is a massive win for busy households with only one main washroom.

We proudly serve the tiny but famous community of Buford, Wyoming, ensuring even the most remote properties get top-tier service.
Whether you live in the historic 82052 ZIP code area or nearby ranch lands, we travel directly to your doorstep. This microscopic community with a population of just two people deserves the same high-quality home improvement options as the biggest cities. Our team respects your property and arrives fully equipped to handle the unique ventilation needs of mountain homes.
Given the typical median household income in this beautiful part of the state, saving money on home repairs is always a smart move. You do not need to spend your savings on overpriced remodeling companies from the big cities. We offer local, honest pricing and dependable results that stand up to the test of time.
Our step-by-step application process ensures that your newly coated fixture will not peel, bubble, or discolor over time. We start by masking off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic to shield your floors and walls from any overspray. After that, we set up a powerful exhaust fan system to vent all fumes safely out of your nearest window.
Once the area is safe and prepped, we apply a specialized acid etching solution to create microscopic pores in the old porcelain. This critical step allows our proprietary molecular bonding agent to lock itself deep inside the original material. We then spray several thin, even coats of our top-grade resin using professional HVLP spray equipment.
After the coating cures, we carefully remove all the masking tape and clean up our workspace so your bathroom looks spotless. We even apply a fresh bead of mildew-resistant silicone caulk around the edges to seal out moisture. This attention to detail ensures your finished project looks absolutely flawless and stays watertight for years.
Once we pack up our gear, keeping your restored fixture looking brand new is incredibly easy and stress-free. You must avoid harsh abrasive cleaners like steel wool or gritty scouring powders that can scratch the glossy topcoat. Instead, simple dish soap or mild spray cleaners will easily wipe away dirt without harming the finish.
Using a soft sponge or microfiber cloth keeps the surface incredibly smooth and shiny with minimal effort. This easy maintenance routine actually repels dirt and grime much better than old, porous porcelain. Which means you will spend far less time scrubbing on your hands and knees during your weekly cleaning chore.
We also recommend avoiding leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting on the rim for extended periods. This simple habit prevents water from trapping underneath and potentially weakening the bond over many years. With just a little bit of basic care, your beautiful restored fixture will look sparkling clean for over a decade.

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 Buford, 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.
