A dull or chipped tub in Colfax 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.

This clever process involves applying a liquid acrylic coating over your worn-out, chipped, or outdated porcelain and fiberglass fixtures. Over time, the original glaze on your tub wears down, which allows dirt, soap scum, and hard water minerals to penetrate the porous surface. Our method seals those microscopic pores, creating a ultra-smooth barrier that is incredibly easy to clean.
First, we meticulously clean the area using specialized acid-free compounds to remove every trace of oils and soap scum. After that, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots so the foundation is completely level. Then, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a microscopic glue between the old surface and the new coating.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of a high-tech topcoat that cures into a durable, lustrous finish. This technique completely eliminates the need to rip out walls, tile, or flooring just to replace a faded basin. You get a fresh look in just a matter of hours instead of waiting weeks for contractors to finish a messy demolition.
When you opt to replace an old tub, you quickly realize the hidden costs of plumbing hookups and wall repairs. Many older homes feature beautiful, heavy cast iron tubs that are far superior in quality to modern plastic replacements. Restoring the surface preserves that historic charm and heavy-duty durability while giving it a bright, clean face.
On top of that, the entire process is completed in less than a day, meaning your daily routine is barely disrupted. You can typically use your newly coated fixture within twenty-four to forty-eight hours after we pack up our tools. This speed makes it the ultimate option for busy households with only one bathroom.
| Factor to Consider | Complete Replacement | Professional Surface Coating |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | 3 to 7 days of loud construction | Completed in 4 to 6 hours |
| Average Cost Level | Very expensive with plumbing fees | Highly budget-friendly and affordable |
| Mess and Dust Level | Heavy drywall dust and broken tile debris | Virtually no mess or structural damage |
| Durability of Finish | Depends on the new material purchased | Lasts 10 to 15 years with proper care |
Our professional technicians take great pride in their craftsmanship, ensuring every corner of your fixture receives equal attention. We start by masking off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheeting to shield your walls, vanity, and floors from any overspray. Next, we set up a powerful exhaust fan to vent any fumes directly outside, keeping your indoor air clean.
Once the prep work is complete, we apply the primer layers using a professional HVLP spray system for an incredibly even look. We then apply the acrylic polyurethane topcoat in thin, uniform layers to prevent any runs or drips from forming. The result is a glass-like finish that mirrors the look of brand-new porcelain.

Maintaining your restored surface is surprisingly simple, requiring far less scrubbing than your old, porous tub did. You must avoid abrasive cleaners, bleach, or harsh scrubbing pads, as these can scratch the glossy topcoat over time. Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap, a damp microfiber cloth, or non-abrasive spray cleaners to keep it shining.
This simple cleaning routine ensures your fixture remains bright and beautiful for up to fifteen years. Which means you spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees and more time enjoying your weekends. A little bit of gentle care goes a long way in protecting your smart investment.
Additionally, we recommend repairing leaky faucets promptly to prevent standing water from wearing down the finish prematurely. Suction cup bath mats should also be avoided, as they can pull on the coating when removed. Instead, ask us about our integrated slip-resistant surfaces that we can apply directly to the bottom of your tub during the process.

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 Colfax, 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.
