All over Cassia 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.
That dingy, stained basin in your bathroom probably makes you shudder every single morning. Fortunately, you can completely transform that eyesore into a gleaming masterpiece in just a single afternoon. Our specialized surface restoration process saves you thousands of dollars compared to a messy demolition.
By choosing this smart update, you avoid the absolute nightmare of ripping out walls and plumbing. We bring our professional equipment straight to your home to deliver a factory-like finish. You will get a gorgeous, easy-to-clean wash space that looks brand new.
Now is the perfect time to request a free estimate from our local team. We love helping homeowners fall in love with their bathrooms all over again. Let us take a look at how we turn worn-out fixtures into stunning centerpieces.
First, we meticulously prep the existing cast iron or steel structure to ensure the new coating bonds permanently. This critical step involves stripping away old DIY paint jobs and cleaning off decades of soap scum. Because of this deep prep work, your new topcoat will not peel or bubble up after a few hot showers.
Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks with specialized filler compounds. This attention to detail restores the structural integrity of the basin before we even open a single can of glaze. You get a perfectly smooth foundation that feels incredibly sleek to the touch.
After that, we spray multiple layers of high-tech acrylic polymers using advanced ventilation equipment to keep your indoor air clean. This specific chemical compound cures into an incredibly hard, glossy shell that mimics expensive porcelain. Which means you enjoy a bright, sparkling wash basin without paying for a full replacement.
To start with, traditional remodeling requires hiring plumbers, drywallers, and tile setters who will track dirt through your house. Our streamlined coating method requires only one skilled technician to complete the entire job. This keeps your home quiet and saves you from managing a chaotic construction zone.
On top of that, older fixtures often feature superior craftsmanship and heavier materials than modern plastic inserts. Preserving your vintage cast iron tub maintains the historic character of your home while upgrading its daily usability. You get to keep that deep, heat-retaining soaking basin while enjoying a spotless, pristine surface.
To illustrate the massive contrast between these two home improvement paths, we put together a quick comparison table below.
| Factor | Full Replacement | Professional Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | 3 to 7 days of loud construction | 4 to 6 hours total |
| Average Total Cost | Very high (includes plumbing and tile repair) | Highly affordable and cost-effective |
| Mess and Dust Level | Extreme drywall dust and heavy debris | Very minimal, completely self-contained |
| Expected Lifespan | Varies by material quality | 10 to 15 years with proper care |

Once we pack up our tools, you only need to follow a few simple guidelines to protect your investment. Always avoid abrasive bleach powders, steel wool, or harsh scrubbing pads that can scratch the glossy topcoat. Instead, use mild dish soap or gentle foaming cleansers to wipe away water spots effortlessly.
Another helpful tip is to avoid leaving wet shampoo bottles or heavy metal cans sitting directly on the rim. Over time, trapped moisture underneath these items can weaken the bond of the protective finish. This simple habit keeps your wash space looking incredibly fresh and prevents premature wear.
Finally, make sure you fix any leaky bath faucets promptly so dripping water does not erode the surface. Constant, heavy dripping in the exact same spot will eventually wear down even the toughest industrial coatings. Taking care of your plumbing ensures your stunning bathroom upgrade remains beautiful for fifteen years or more.
Naturally, we believe in being completely transparent with our customers about what this process can and cannot do. This restoration technique is incredibly effective for fixing cosmetic damage, stubborn stains, and minor rust around the drain. However, it cannot fix a basin that is completely rusted through or structurally cracked in half.
Additionally, while the cured coating is extremely durable, it is not completely indestructible against heavy abuse. Dropping heavy iron tools or sharp objects into the basin can chip the newly applied acrylic layer. Fortunately, if an accident does happen, we can easily perform a quick touch-up repair to make it look perfect again.
Do not spend another day staring at a dingy, stained wash basin that makes you feel embarrassed. Our quick, affordable process will give you the clean, inviting bathroom you deserve without breaking your budget. We handle all the hard work so you can simply sit back and enjoy the stunning transformation.

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.
