A dull or chipped tub in Coleharbor 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 tub probably looks pretty rough after years of scrubbing and hot showers.
Instead of ripping out the whole bathroom and spending thousands of dollars on noisy remodeling, you can restore that glossy shine in just one afternoon.
Our professional team brings your worn-out fixtures back to life with a durable coating that makes them look brand new.
Many folks think they have to replace a stained tub.
Actually, we apply a high-tech liquid acrylic coating right over your existing cast iron or fiberglass setup.
This bond is incredibly strong and seals up all those ugly microscopic pores where dirt loves to hide.
Think about the massive mess of a traditional bathroom demolition.
You have to deal with broken tiles, dusty drywall, and expensive plumbing bills.
By choosing our localized spraying method, you bypass the chaos and get a fresh surface within hours.
Our special bonding agents fuse directly with the original material.
Which means your upgraded tub will resist chipping and peeling for a very long time.
You get to enjoy a bright, clean basin that feels incredibly smooth to the touch.
First, we clean the old surface with specialized industrial solutions to remove every trace of soap scum and body oils.
This step is crucial because even a tiny bit of grease can ruin the adhesion of the new layer.
After that, we patch up any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots with a heavy-duty filler.
Next, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets.
This protects your floors, vanity, and walls from any overspray or dust particles.
We also set up a powerful exhaust fan to pull any chemical fumes safely out of your home.
| Step of the Process | What We Do | Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Cleaning | Acid wash and etch the old enamel | Ensures a permanent bond |
| Surface Repair | Fill cracks and sand down rust spots | Creates a perfectly flat look |
| Topcoat Application | Spray multiple layers of acrylic resin | Delivers a beautiful high-gloss shine |
Buying a new tub might only cost a few hundred bucks at the local hardware store.
However, the real nightmare starts when you try to fit it through your narrow bathroom doorway.
You often have to tear down walls and hire a certified plumber to re-align the drain pipes.
Those hidden fees can easily push your total project bill into the thousands.
On the other hand, our localized restoration service costs only a small fraction of that amount.
You save your hard-earned money while achieving the exact same visual result.
Time is another huge factor to keep in mind when planning your home improvements.
A full remodel can leave your home looking like a construction zone for weeks.
With our speedy process, you can start using your beautiful shower again after just twenty-four hours of curing time.
Caring for your newly finished basin is actually much easier than dealing with old, worn-out porcelain.
You do not need to use abrasive scouring powders or harsh bleach anymore.
In fact, those rough cleaners will dull the shiny topcoat over time.
Instead, you simply wipe the surface down with a mild dish soap and a soft microfiber sponge.
This gentle routine keeps the glossy protective layer looking pristine and bright.
Your chore list gets shorter, and your bathroom stays looking like a high-end luxury retreat.
We love serving our neighbors throughout McLean County where hard water can really do a number on plumbing fixtures.
The high mineral content in our local water supply often leaves stubborn orange rust stains and chalky white calcium deposits.
Our tough, non-porous coating prevents these minerals from sticking to the basin, making cleanup a breeze.

You do not have to settle for a dingy, embarrassing bathroom when a simple refresh is just a phone call away.
We recently helped a family who was ready to throw away their vintage 1970s avocado-green bathtub.
They were shocked to learn we could transform it into a modern, crisp white masterpiece without removing it.
Now, they love showing off their guest bathroom to visitors.
Another local client was worried about the harsh winter weather making outdoor construction projects impossible.
Since our chemical application happens entirely indoors with portable ventilation, we can work comfortably year-round.
You can get your home ready for holiday guests without worrying about the freezing wind outside.
We believe in keeping things completely real with our clients because nobody likes surprises.
This restoration process is fantastic, but it is not a magical fix for a completely rotted-out iron tub.
If your fixture has giant holes rusted all the way through the metal, replacement might be your only safe option.
Additionally, the coating does have a noticeable paint-like odor while we are spraying it on.
Although we use heavy-duty ventilation systems to clear the air, sensitive individuals might want to step out for a few hours.
The smell dissipates quickly once the material begins to dry and cure.
However, the benefits of this modern technique far outweigh these minor inconveniences.
You get to keep your original heavy-duty cast iron tub, which holds heat much better than cheap modern plastic replacements.
It is an eco-friendly choice too, because we keep heavy construction waste out of our local landfills.
Take a close look at the overall structure of your current bathing area.
If the fiberglass or metal feels sturdy when you step inside, you are in great shape for a refinish.
Cosmetic issues like dullness, surface stains, and minor chips are incredibly easy for us to fix.
Even outdated colors like pink, blue, or yellow can be completely covered up with our bright white coating.
We can also apply a slip-resistant texture to the bottom of the basin during the spraying process.
This added feature keeps your family safer from accidental slips without the need for ugly, peeling rubber mats.
Do not spend another day staring at a dingy, stained tub that makes your whole house feel dirty.

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 Coleharbor, 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.
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.
