A dull or chipped tub in Bunker Hill 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 need a fresh surface for your washing tub right now. Our skilled team restores old finished basins across the region fast! Get your free quote today and save your money.
Actually, old cast iron or acrylic wash basins wear down after years of daily baths. Scratches trap gross grime that normal cleaners just cannot wipe away no matter how hard you scrub. Honestly, it looks terrible and makes your whole room feel super dirty...
Because of that rust and dull spots, your daily routine gets ruined pretty quickly. Nobody wants to soak in a faded tub that feels like sandpaper on their bare skin. In addition to that ugly look, tiny cracks can leak water straight into your floorboards below.
Luckily, refinishing the old coating fixes everything without tearing out your walls or plumbing lines. We spray a super thick chemical finish that bonds directly to your old basin. Consequently, you get a bright shiny shine that lasts for years!
Obviously, ripping out a heavy old tub costs thousands of dollars you probably do not want to spend. Plumbers charge huge rates just to disconnect the old rusty pipes behind your wall. Plus, dump fees for heavy debris get totally crazy these days!
Instead, our special local service comes right into your home and cures the surface in place. That smart choice saves you tons of cash while giving you that clean hotel vibe. As a result, your wallet stays thick and happy!
Meanwhile, our crew handles all the ugly prep work so you never lift a single finger. We sand down the rough patches and fix all those deep rusty chips real fast. Ultimately, you get a smooth top layer that looks brand new!
| Service Option | Average Cost | Time Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | $3,000 - $6,000 | 3 to 5 Days |
| Surface Restoration | $350 - $650 | 4 to 6 Hours |
Granted, folks living around the heart of Russell County take massive pride in keeping their historic properties looking super nice. With a small population around 179 people, everybody knows that quality work matters around these parts. Nobody wants sloppy workmanship in a tight community!
Furthermore, local families earning near the median household income of $47,250 need affordable home fixes that actually last. Spending a fortune on bath remodels just does not make sense for smart budget folks. Therefore, fixing what you already own is the absolute smartest move!
Surprisingly, homes in the 67626 ZIP code often feature sturdy vintage cast iron basins that builders do not even make anymore. Those old heavy basins hold heat amazingly well during cold Midwest winters. So, keeping that heavy duty original tub is way better than buying cheap plastic stuff!
First of all, our technician cleans your surface with heavy duty industrial acid wash formulas. This removes all soap scum, body oil, and mineral scale tucked into invisible pores. Then, we dry the target zone completely with high powered warm heat blowers.
Next up, we mask off your tile walls, chrome faucets, and floor space with sticky paper. This careful step stops any floating overspray from landing on your expensive bath fixtures. Afterwards, we apply our super strong bonding liquid primer coat.
Finally, we spray multiple thin layers of top grade synthetic porcelain acrylic resin over the basin. The glossy chemical formula self levels perfectly as it cures under our special heat lamps. Which means, you get a brilliant smooth mirror finish with zero brush lines!
Normally, dropping a heavy shampoo bottle or metal tool creates deep nasty chips in fragile enamel coatings. Those bare spots expose raw iron to moisture, which creates dark red rust stains fast. On top of that, rusty water spreads under the good glaze and ruins more coating!
To solve this, we scrape out every bit of soft flaking material down to clean metal. We mix high strength epoxy putty to fill in the deep holes flat with the surrounding area. Naturally, this solid repair stops future structural leaks from ruining your house wood framing.
Besides that big danger, age causes fine hairline cracks to spiderweb across the bottom standing area. Our durable chemical overlay locks those micro fissures tight so water stays right where it belongs. After that easy fix, you can soak in peace without worrying about hidden floor rot!
To be honest, off the shelf spray cans from the hardware store never work right for serious jobs. DIY paint peels off in big nasty sheets after just a few hot showers! Truly, you need commercial grade primers to bond hard compounds onto slick glassy surfaces.
Hence, our professional team uses high volume low pressure sprayers to lay down super fine mist layers. This precise gear creates a dense chemical matrix that resists hot water and harsh wash soaps. Which lets you enjoy a clean bathroom without endless tedious scrubbing!
Check out these cool perks you get when choosing surface recoating:
Now, think about the huge dusty mess of knocking out old tile walls with heavy hammers. Demolition creates endless toxic dust that settles all over your kitchen, bedrooms, and soft furniture carpet! Who really wants to breathe that nasty gray junk for weeks straight?
On top of that mess, carpenters usually break your expensive floor tiles when pulling out heavy cast iron fixtures. Then you have to hire tile installers, painters, and expensive plumbers to repair all the severe damage. Suddenly, your simple weekend project turns into a massive chaotic construction zone!
In comparison, our clean restoration work requires zero destructive wall knocking or plumbing pipe alterations at all. We step into your room, do our magic, and leave the place completely spotless! So, you get fancy new looks without any of the massive headache!
Sure, your new glossy finish feels super strong, but you still gotta care for it properly. Never use harsh bleach powders or rough green scouring pads on your smooth top layer! Those aggressive tools leave micro scratches that degrade the shiny coat over time.
Instead, wash the surface soft with liquid dish soap and a gentle microfiber towel once every week. That easy routine keeps the glossy sheen looking sharp like a mirror without stripping the chemical sealer. Similarly, avoid leaving wet washcloths sitting in stagnant water on the basin floor!
Also, make sure your sink dripping faucets get fixed fast so water does not wear down one spot constantly. Constant dripping mineral water leaves stubborn calcium stains that are annoying to clean off later. Taking care of small leaks keeps your newly coated fixture looking top tier for decades!
Without a doubt, hiring local workers who understand home designs across Kansas makes a massive difference for your results. We treat your property with massive respect and always wear soft boots indoors to protect your floors. Furthermore, we bring super strong exhaust fans to vent out every bit of chemical smell while we work!

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 Bunker Hill, 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.
