A dull or chipped tub in Crested Butte 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.
You probably look at your old, stained washing basin and wish it looked brand new again. Restoring that chipped surface is a total game changer for your home in Gunnison County.
Since you live in the beautiful town of Crested Butte, you know that keeping your place in top shape matters. Improving your bathroom surface gives you a fresh vibe without the massive price tag of a total remodel.
This process involves applying a high-quality resin coating to your existing tub which makes it shine like glass. Because you want a smooth and clean look, this is the best way to get that spa-like feeling.
Instead of tearing out your heavy iron or fiberglass unit, you can choose to breathe new life into the structure. This saves you tons of cash while keeping the original layout of your home perfectly intact.
Moreover, the finish we apply is super durable and resistant to those pesky cracks that happen over time. You get a surface that is easy to scrub down and keeps its luster for many years.
Think about the time you save by not dealing with messy construction crews for weeks. Our team comes out, works their magic quickly, and leaves you with a glowing result that looks stunning.
Living in a place with a population around 1,332 means you value the tight-knit community spirit found here. Our neighbors in the 81224 and 81225 areas deserve the best care for their homes.
When you invest in your property, you keep the value high for whenever you decide to sell. Since the median household income sits near $66,375, spending your money wisely is a smart move for everyone.
By choosing to resurface rather than replace, you keep waste out of our local landfills. Protecting the mountain environment is something we should all aim to do every single day.
First, we carefully clean the area to remove any soap scum or buildup that hides on the bottom. This step ensures that the special bonding agent sticks perfectly to the surface.
Next, we address any chips or deep scratches by filling them with a specialized compound. This provides a flat base so that the final layer looks seamless and perfectly level.
Finally, we spray a specialized polymer coating that cures into a hard, non-porous shield. This stuff is tough and provides the physical ease and physical luxury you want in your daily routine.
| Feature | Surface Renewal | Full Replacement | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Very Affordable | Extremely Expensive | |
| Time | One Day | One Week or More | |
| Waste | Minimal | Very High | |
| Result | Shiny New Look | Brand New Unit |
As you can see from the table above, the choice is pretty simple when you look at the facts. Saving money while getting a great result lets you put your budget toward other fun things.
Furthermore, you avoid the headache of finding new plumbing fixtures that might not even fit correctly. Keeping your current setup means you know the pipes work and the drains are clear.
Once we arrive at your house, we mask off the surrounding walls to protect your tile. You do not have to worry about paint or chemicals splashing onto your expensive wallpaper.
After masking, we use industrial fans to keep the air moving so the fumes do not linger. This lets you feel safe knowing we prioritize your safety while we work on your tub.
Typically, the entire job takes only a few hours to complete from start to finish. You wake up with an old tub and go to sleep with a masterpiece of renovation.
After the coating dries, you have a surface that feels smooth and looks bright white. This change transforms the entire mood of your room in an instant.
If you ever wanted to change the color of your fixtures, now is the time to do it. You can pick a classic bright white or a soft almond to match your walls.
Also, the new surface is much easier to wipe down than the old, porous enamel. You will spend way less time cleaning and more time enjoying your home.
Many homeowners realize that older tubs are built much sturdier than the flimsy plastic ones sold today. Keeping the original unit preserves that heavy-duty quality that lasts for decades.
Additionally, you avoid the structural damage that often happens when pulling out a heavy cast iron piece. That kind of work often ruins your floor tiles and requires extra repairs.
When you opt for a professional touch-up, you bypass all those hidden costs. It is the most logical path for anyone wanting to improve their space without breaking the bank.
If you are curious about what this would cost for your specific situation, just ask. Getting a clear estimate is the best way to plan your home improvement journey.
We provide a free quote for anyone residing in the beautiful Colorado mountains who wants a change. You get all the details upfront so there are no surprises later on.
Reach out to us today to schedule a time for a quick site visit. We look forward to helping you love your home again with a beautiful new finish.
Taking care of your newly finished surface is quite simple if you follow a few rules. Avoid using harsh scouring powders that might scratch the shiny new polymer layer.
Instead, use a soft cloth and a gentle liquid soap to keep things sparkling bright. This keeps the protective coating intact for a much longer period than you might expect.
Because you want this to last, avoid letting standing water sit for too long. Wiping down the sides after your bath helps prevent any mineral deposits from forming.
Will the smell be too strong for me to handle? We use ventilation gear to pull odors out of the room while we work.
Does the finish peel off like cheap paint? Our bonding technique ensures the material stays fused to the tub for years.
Can you fix a tub that has been painted before? Yes, we strip away the old, failing layers before applying our high-grade materials.
You have the power to make your living space feel more inviting with one simple change. A bright and clean washing area truly elevates your entire home.
You deserve to have a place that brings you peace after a long day of work. Investing in these small upgrades is the secret to a happy and functional household.

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 Crested Butte, 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.
