A dull or chipped tub in Bunk Foss 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.
Do you hate looking at that stained old fixture in your bathroom every single morning? Well, your home in Snohomish County deserves a fresh update without blowing your savings account.
Consequently, local folks living in that tiny town with the ZIP codes often struggle with chipped finishes. This lets you restore your worn-out wash basin instead of replacing it entirely.
Instead of ripping out heavy cast iron, skilled local pros apply a fresh chemical coating right over your current basin. This means you avoid messy demolition projects and save hundreds of dollars on labor costs.
Truthfully, buying a brand-new tub can cost a small fortune when you factor in plumbing and tile work. Meanwhile, our surface renewal service gives you a smooth and shiny finish in just one afternoon.
Modern homes with a median household income around one hundred and eight thousand dollars still benefit from smart financial choices. Therefore, choosing to spray a new polymer layer onto your tub keeps your renovation budget entirely intact.
Additionally, the fresh glossy barrier stops mold and mildew from clinging to rough patches. This lets you scrub away soap scum in seconds without using harsh chemical cleaners.
First, our crew arrives right at your property with all the necessary professional gear. Then, we thoroughly clean the porcelain to strip away years of stubborn mineral buildup and grime.
Following that crucial prep work, we apply an etching agent to help the bonding primer stick securely. This guarantees your brand-new coating will not peel or flake off over time.
| Step | Action Taken | Benefit For You |
|---|---|---|
| One | Deep Cleaning | Removes all hidden grease |
| Two | Surface Etching | Creates a strong bond |
| Three | Spraying Finish | Gives a glossy shine |
After the primer sets, we spray multiple layers of high-grade aliphatic polyurethane to create a durable shield. This lets you enjoy a gorgeous bathing space that withstands daily wear and tear for many years.
Living in a tight-knit community of nearly four thousand residents means word travels fast about home improvement projects. Because of that, our reliable local crew always aims for top-tier results on every single job.
Furthermore, traditional replacement often damages surrounding walls and tile work during the extraction process. Alternatively, our spraying technique leaves your existing walls completely untouched and looking pristine.
Many folks worry that sprayed-on coatings will peel off after just a few hot showers. Yet, modern bonding agents create a chemical grip that holds tight under extreme temperature changes.
Another myth suggests that the new finish smells terrible and stays toxic forever. In reality, our low-odor curing process clears the air quickly so you can use your bathroom the very next day.
Once your tub looks brand-new again, you need to use non-abrasive cleaners to protect the shiny topcoat. This lets you maintain that gorgeous luster without scratching the delicate polyurethane layer.
On top of that, avoiding rubber mats with heavy suction cups prevents moisture from trapping underneath the surface. Simple habits like these ensure your investment lasts for a very long time.
Full-scale bathroom remodels often drag on for weeks and leave your home covered in fine drywall dust. By comparison, surface restoration wraps up quickly and lets you get back to your normal routine.
Plus, keeping your original plumbing fixtures out of the local landfill makes this a very eco-friendly choice. This means you help protect the environment while upgrading your personal sanctuary.
White remains a classic choice because it brightens up small bathrooms and makes the space feel bigger. However, you can also select from various custom shades to match your exact interior design style.
Matching your sink or shower pan to the newly sprayed tub creates a unified and harmonious aesthetic. This lets you achieve a high-end look without paying designer prices.
Before our technicians arrive, please remove all personal items like shampoo bottles and bath toys from the room. This gives our team clear access to work efficiently on your fixtures.
Also, keeping pets locked in a secure area ensures everyone stays safe while heavy equipment operates nearby. Our crew appreciates your cooperation and works diligently to respect your personal space.
Are you finally ready to say goodbye to that embarrassing rust stain at the bottom of your tub? Well, taking action right now prevents further damage from ruining the underlying structure.
Reach out to our friendly local team today to request your free estimate without any obligation. This lets you plan your upcoming home improvement project with complete financial peace of mind.
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 Bunk Foss, 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.

The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
