A dull or chipped tub in Cedar Ridge 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.
If your old bathroom fixtures look dingy and worn out, you can actually restore that smooth shiny surface without paying for an expensive demolition. Our local crew travels right to your home to spray a durable new coating that makes everything look brand new again.

Maybe you recently looked at your tub and cringed at those ugly yellow stains or dark scratches. This common problem happens to almost everyone over time because old cast iron and steel units lose their protective glossy layer. When this happens, dirt gets trapped inside the tiny pores of the surface and makes cleaning feel like a total nightmare.
Fortunately, you do not have to rip out the entire unit just to get a clean look. Our special chemical process bonds a fresh acrylic coating directly over your existing basin. This smart method saves you from the dusty chaos of tearing down walls and dealing with expensive plumbing permits.
Which means you get to keep your original heavy duty fixture while enjoying a sparkling clean space. Many older homes in the local area feature beautiful vintage designs that are much better quality than cheap modern plastic replacements. By keeping your original setup, you preserve the unique character of your home while upgrading its overall appearance.
On top of that, the entire process takes only a few hours of work instead of weeks of construction. We carefully mask off your floors and walls to keep your home perfectly clean. You can literally use your upgraded shower the very next day without any hassle.
First, we scrub the old surface with industrial strength cleaners to remove years of soap scum and body oils. This deep cleaning step is super important because even a tiny bit of grease can ruin the bond of the new materials. We also repair any deep chips or rust spots with a waterproof structural filler.
Next, we apply a specialized bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor between the old porcelain and the new finish. This liquid agent creates a molecular bridge so the new topcoat sticks permanently. Without this critical step, the new finish would just peel off like wet wallpaper after a few hot showers.
Finally, our skilled technicians use a professional spray gun to apply several layers of a high tech acrylic urethane. This material cures into a hard glass like shell that looks identical to brand new factory porcelain. The final result gives you a beautiful glossy shine that resists impact and stays bright for years to come.
To help you understand the differences between your options, we created this simple comparison table:
| Project Details | Complete Replacement | Our Specialized Spraying Process |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Cost | Very High ($3,000 to $8,000) | Very Low (A fraction of replacement) |
| Time to Complete | 3 to 7 days of messy construction | Only 4 to 6 hours total |
| Durability | Depends on the new material purchased | Up to 10 to 15 years with proper care |
| Plumbing Changes Needed | Yes, often requires moving pipes | No, your plumbing remains untouched |
Let us face the truth that remodeling projects usually end up costing double what you first expected. When you pull out an old tub, you often find hidden mold or rotten wood behind the drywall. Those nasty surprises can quickly turn a simple weekend project into a financial disaster.
By choosing our non invasive surface restoration, you completely bypass all of those hidden structural dangers. We work entirely on the surface of your existing setup so we never disturb the walls or pipes. This approach keeps your costs completely predictable and very affordable.
Now, think about what you could do with all that money you save by not remodeling the whole room. You can invest in other home upgrades or simply keep your hard earned cash in the bank. Our affordable service fits perfectly within the typical budget of local families who want to keep their homes looking great.
Whether you have a classic cast iron tub, a pressed steel basin, or a modern fiberglass shower stall, we can fix it. Each material requires a slightly different chemical primer to ensure a perfect lifetime bond. Our team knows exactly how to handle every single type of surface safely.
For example, fiberglass units often flex when you step inside them, which can cause cheap finishes to crack. This is why we use flexible additives in our coatings to prevent cracking on fiberglass and acrylic stalls. This specialized knowledge prevents future failures and gives you peace of mind.
Actually, we can even update the color of your old fixture if you are tired of that 1970s pink or avocado green. We offer a variety of modern white and off white shades to match your current decor. This simple color change instantly modernizes your entire bathroom without changing anything else.
We understand that having workers in your home can feel a bit stressful and intrusive. This is why our friendly crew always arrives on time and treats your property with the utmost respect. We ventilate the workspace thoroughly using heavy duty exhaust fans to pull any paint odors outside.
Our business operates right here in the beautiful state of California, serving the lovely unincorporated community of Cedar Ridge. This scenic area in Nevada County has a small population of about 1,037 residents who enjoy a peaceful lifestyle. With a median household income of around $59,722, local homeowners appreciate smart, cost effective ways to maintain their properties.
If you live in the 95924 ZIP code, our professional team is just a short drive away from your front door. We love helping our neighbors save money while making their homes more comfortable and inviting. You do not have to live with a stained, embarrassing bathroom when a affordable solution is right down the road.
Once we finish our work, caring for your new glassy surface is actually incredibly easy. You just need to avoid abrasive scrubbing powders and harsh bleach cleaners that can dull the shine over time. Instead, use mild dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner along with a soft microfiber cloth.
This simple care routine keeps the protective non porous barrier smooth so dirt slides right down the drain. You will spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees, which is a huge relief for anyone. Your bathroom stays fresh and hygienic with just a quick wipe down once a week.
However, you should also avoid leaving wet bottles or heavy metal cans sitting directly on the ledge for long periods. Moisture trapped under bottles can eventually weaken the bond of any coating, even the strongest ones. By following these basic guidelines, your beautiful new finish will easily last for more than a decade.
Are you ready to transform your tired bathroom into a bright and clean space you can feel proud of? We make the entire process incredibly simple by offering completely free, no obligation estimates right at your home. Our technician will look at your fixture, explain your options, and give you an exact price.

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 Cedar Ridge, 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.
