All over Custer County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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.

By choosing this smart alternative, you save thousands of dollars compared to a messy, traditional remodel. We specialize in bringing tired, worn-out bathroom fixtures back to life with a gorgeous, durable finish. This means you get a fresh, clean look in just a few hours.
Our friendly local team is ready to visit your home and provide a detailed, complimentary cost estimate. We take pride in delivering top-notch craftsmanship that fits your budget perfectly. Let us help you fall in love with your bathroom all over again.
This advanced process involves applying a high-performance liquid acrylic coating directly over your existing cast iron, steel, or fiberglass wash basin. First, we meticulously prep the area to ensure the new layer bonds permanently. This deep cleaning removes years of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits.
Next, we repair any unsightly chips, deep scratches, or rust spots that ruin the look of your basin. This crucial step creates a perfectly smooth foundation for the new finish. After that, we apply a specialized bonding agent followed by several coats of our durable topcoat.
Finally, you are left with a high-gloss, ultra-smooth surface that looks identical to brand-new porcelain. This protective barrier resists future stains and makes daily cleaning incredibly easy. You will love how the light bounces off your revived fixture.
Replacing an old tub usually requires ripping out walls, plumbing fixtures, and expensive tile work. This chaotic process can leave your home looking like a disaster zone for weeks. On top of that, you have to pay expensive disposal fees to dump the old heavy unit.
Our on-site restoration takes less than a day and creates zero construction waste. This means your daily routine remains completely undisturbed while we work our magic. It is the ultimate hassle-free shortcut to a luxurious bathing space.
Moreover, older tubs are often made of high-quality cast iron that retains heat much better than modern plastic replacements. Keeping your original heavy-duty basin preserves the character of your home while upgrading its appearance. You get the best of both worlds with our service.
We use industrial-grade coatings that are far superior to the cheap DIY kits you find at local hardware stores. These professional materials cure into an incredibly tough, non-porous shield. This prevents moisture from seeping underneath and causing the paint to peel or bubble over time.
To give you a better idea of how our professional method compares to DIY options, we put together this quick comparison table:
| Feature | Professional Restoration | DIY Paint Kits |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | Lasts 10 to 15 years with proper care | Often peels within a few months |
| Appearance | High-gloss, smooth porcelain-like look | Dull, streaky brush marks |
| Bonding Power | Molecular fusion with professional primers | Simple topical stickiness |
| Time Required | Ready to use in 24 to 48 hours | Days of prep and curing time |
Investing in our professional service ensures your wash basin remains beautiful for a decade or more. We back our work with solid guarantees because we believe in our materials. You can trust our local hands-on technicians to do the job right the first time.

Our affordable services help you keep more money in your pocket while boosting your property value.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheeting and paper. This shields your vanity, flooring, and walls from any overspray or dust. We also set up a powerful exhaust fan to vent any fumes safely outdoors during the application.
Next, we use a specialized acid-etching compound to create microscopic pores in the old porcelain or enamel. This allows our molecular bonding agent to lock onto the original surface with incredible strength. We never skip this step because it is the secret to preventing future peeling.
Then, we spray multiple coats of our premium acrylic urethane using professional HVLP equipment. This ensures a perfectly even, streak-free application that looks flawless. Once cured, we polish the surface to a brilliant luster that feels amazing to the touch.
Maintaining your beautiful new finish is incredibly simple and requires very little effort. You must avoid abrasive cleaners, bleach, or scratchy scrubbing pads that can dull the shiny topcoat over time. Instead, stick to mild dish soap or gentle, non-abrasive bathroom sprays.
Using a soft sponge or microfiber cloth is all it takes to wipe away soap residue. This simple routine keeps your wash basin looking brand new and ultra-clean. You will spend far less time scrubbing on your hands and knees.
Additionally, we recommend fixing any leaky faucets promptly to prevent standing water from wearing down the finish prematurely. Placing a bath mat without suction cups is another great way to protect the bottom of the basin. These tiny habits ensure your investment stays gorgeous for many years to name.

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