All over Camas County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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 stare at that worn out bathroom surface every single day and wonder if you need to spend thousands on a full demolition.
Luckily, a smart alternative exists that breathes fresh life into your old fixture without the mess of ripping out walls.
Our skilled local team travels right to your home in the area to deliver a shiny, durable finish that looks brand new.
Actually, many homeowners do not realize that the original heavy cast iron or steel tub in their home is far superior in quality to modern plastic inserts.
By choosing to restore the existing surface, you keep that sturdy fixture and save yourself a mountain of dusty hassle.
This budget-friendly process coats your worn basin with a high-performance liquid acrylic that hardens into a gorgeous glaze.
Naturally, you want a quick fix that does not drain your savings account or leave your home looking like a construction zone for weeks.
We offer a completely free estimate where we inspect your specific bathroom setup and give you an honest price.
Which means you get to make an informed decision without spending a single dime upfront.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to ensure no overspray lands on your floor or vanity.
This meticulous preparation keeps your home clean and guarantees that our bonding agents only go where they are supposed to go.
Our technicians take pride in leaving your home just as clean as we found it, minus the ugly tub of course.
Next, we use specialized acid etch solutions to strip away years of built-up soap scum, mineral deposits, and old failing coatings.
This step is crucial because the new layers require a perfectly clean, porous surface to grip onto properly.
If a contractor skips this deep cleaning phase, your new finish will likely peel off within a few short months.
After that, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots using premium polyester fillers that level out the damaged areas.
Once those patches cure, we sand them completely flat so the final surface feels smooth to the touch.
You will not even be able to tell where the old ugly rust spots used to be.
Then, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding agent that acts like a superglue between the old porcelain and the new coating.
This chemical bridge ensures the new topcoat will not bubble or lift when you fill the basin with hot water.
On top of that, we spray multiple layers of professional-grade acrylic urethane to build a thick, glossy protective barrier.
| Restoration Phase | What We Do | Benefit For You |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Masking and venting the room | Keeps your home clean and odor-free |
| Etching & Repair | Acid wash and chip filling | Creates a perfectly smooth foundation |
| Bonding Agent | Apply chemical primer | Prevents peeling and ensures longevity |
| Topcoat Spraying | Multiple coats of acrylic urethane | Delivers a brilliant, high-gloss shine |
Think about the massive headache of hiring plumbers, tile setters, and drywall contractors just to replace one single fixture.
Those expenses add up fast, often turning a simple project into a multi-thousand-dollar nightmare that drags on forever.
Our on-site spray application bypasses all that chaos, saving you up to seventy percent compared to replacement costs.
Additionally, the entire process takes only a single day from start to finish, letting you use your shower again very quickly.
You do not have to live with workers walking through your house for a week or cope with the dust of broken drywall.
We get in, do our magic, and get out so you can enjoy your beautiful bathroom space.
This lets you invest your hard-earned money into other home improvement projects, or simply keep it in your bank account.
Furthermore, keeping your heavy old tub out of the local landfill is a fantastic choice for the environment.
You get a sparkling clean look while doing a small favor for our beautiful planet.
Perhaps you have seen those cheap paint-on kits at the local hardware store and thought about tackling this job yourself.
While those retail boxes promise a quick fix, they usually contain cheap epoxy paint that goes on with a brush or roller.
This leaves behind unsightly brush marks and bubbles that look incredibly cheap and unprofessional.
Consequently, these store-bought coatings fail to bond on a molecular level, leading to peeling within a year.
Once a DIY kit starts peeling, the failing paint must be painstakingly stripped off before a professional can fix it.
This ends up costing you more money and hassle than if you had hired us in the first place.
Our professional equipment includes high-volume, low-pressure spray guns that apply an incredibly fine, uniform mist.
We also wear professional respirators and set up heavy-duty exhaust fans to pull any fumes safely out of your home.
You get a factory-like finish without risking your health or breathing in nasty chemical odors.
Once our technicians pack up their gear, the fresh surface needs about twenty-four to forty-eight hours to cure fully.
After that curing window closes, you can treat yourself to a long, relaxing soak in your gorgeous, renewed bath.
The slick surface resists dirt and grime, making your weekly bathroom cleaning chore much easier than before.
However, you must avoid abrasive cleaners like steel wool, scouring powders, or harsh bleach solutions on the new glaze.
These rough chemicals can dull the brilliant shine over time, leaving microscopic scratches that trap dirt.
Simply wiping the surface down with a mild liquid dish soap and a soft sponge keeps it looking stellar for years.
We also advise against leaving wet washcloths or shampoo bottles sitting on the rim for long periods.
Standing water trapped under objects can slowly weaken the bond over many years of neglect.
With just a tiny bit of basic care, your restored basin will keep its impressive shine 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, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
