A dull or chipped tub in Catalina Foothills 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.
Your old wash basin looks pretty rough these days. Years of scrubbing have probably stripped away that original glossy shine, leaving behind a dull surface that seems to collect dirt like a magnet. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to fix this annoying eyesore.
Our skilled local team specializes in completely restoring the glossy finish of your existing cast iron or acrylic tub right where it sits. This smart alternative saves you tons of time and keeps hard earned money in your pocket. By applying a premium new protective coating, we make your old fixtures look brand new again in just a single day.
If you want to skip the high costs of plumbing overhauls, you should definitely request a free estimate from us today. We love helping homeowners fall in love with their bathrooms all over again. Our friendly technicians will gladly look at your space and explain how we can revive your wash area without the headache of a major remodel.
Many people assume that buying a new basin is the easiest way to upgrade a bathroom. However, they quickly realize that removing an old heavy fixture usually requires ripping out the surrounding wall tile, moving drain pipes, and hiring expensive builders. That simple shopping trip quickly spirals into a multi-day construction nightmare that leaves you without a working shower.
Choosing our specialized surface renewal process avoids all of those frustrating complications. Because we work directly on your existing structure, your walls and floors remain completely untouched. This means you avoid the costly repairs that always seem to pop up when you start tearing down drywall.
On top of that, older fixtures are often built with incredibly sturdy cast iron that outperforms modern plastic replacements. Preserving that solid foundation while updating the exterior coat gives you the best of both worlds. You get to keep your deep, durable basin while enjoying a spotless, sparkling surface that feels incredibly fresh.
Achieving a flawless result requires a highly detailed process that goes way beyond a simple coat of paint. First, our crew thoroughly cleans the area to remove soap scum, body oils, and ancient mineral deposits. This critical preparation step ensures that our materials bond perfectly to the original porcelain or fiberglass.
Next, we carefully repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks that have formed over the decades. We use specialized polyester fillers to create a perfectly flat, uniform surface before we proceed any further. Once the repairs cure, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor for the new finish.
Finally, we spray several coats of a high-tech acrylic urethane topcoat using professional spray equipment. This creates a thick, resilient barrier that looks identical to factory-fresh porcelain. After a short curing period, your renewed washing station is ready for use, boasting incredible durability and a stunning luster.

| Mess and Demolition | Virtually none | Significant dust and debris |
| Plumbing Changes | Not required | Usually mandatory |
Saving money is obviously a massive benefit, but the daily advantages of this service are equally impressive. The new non-porous finish makes cleaning your bathroom incredibly easy because grime cannot find a place to stick anymore. You can finally throw away those harsh abrasive cleaners that ruin your back and your lungs.
This process also allows you to change the color of your fixtures to match modern design trends. If your home is currently rocking a dated 1970s pink or avocado green scheme, we can instantly transform it into a clean, modern white. This simple aesthetic upgrade instantly boosts the overall value of your entire property.
Furthermore, this service extends the lifespan of your existing setup by at least ten to fifteen years with proper care. We use industrial-grade coatings that resist yellowing, cracking, and peeling over long periods of regular use. You get long-term peace of mind without having to deal with the stress of a major construction zone in your home.
Living in this beautiful desert oasis means dealing with unique environmental factors like incredibly hard water. The high mineral content in our local water supply quickly creates stubborn white scale buildup on bathroom fixtures. Our heavy-duty coatings are specifically designed to resist these tough mineral deposits, making maintenance a breeze for local homeowners.

We arrive on time, treat your property with the utmost respect, and clean up thoroughly before we leave. Our deep roots in this community motivate us to deliver flawless results on every single project we take on.
Once we finish our magic, keeping that lustrous shine alive is actually very simple. You should always avoid using abrasive scrubbing pads or harsh chemical bleach on your newly coated surface. Instead, a mild dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner paired with a soft microfiber cloth will keep things looking spectacular.
It is also a good idea to repair any leaky faucets quickly to prevent standing water from sitting constantly on the new finish. While our coatings are incredibly tough, constant dripping over several years can eventually wear down even the strongest materials. A tiny bit of preventative care ensures that your bathroom remains gorgeous for a very long time.
Lastly, try to avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy metal cans of shaving cream sitting directly on the rim. Using a hanging shower caddy is a great way to keep your storage organized while protecting your freshly updated surface. These basic habits guarantee that you get the absolute maximum lifespan out of your investment.

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 Catalina Foothills, 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
