A dull or chipped tub in Damascus 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.
Are you tired of staring at a rusty dingy basin every morning? Getting a fresh coat on your fixture fixes ugly stains fast and saves you thousands over buying new stuff. Request a free quote today!
Look, nobody likes taking a bath in a tub that looks like it survived a war. Over time, heavy water drops and harsh soapy scum totally wreck that hard shiny surface you used to love. Honestly, it gets so stained that no amount of elbow grease ever makes it look clean anymore.
Furthermore, replacing the whole entire setup costs a tiny fortune and turns your home into a dusty messy construction zone for weeks. Plumbers have to tear out wall tiles and break down door frames just to pull the big heavy thing out. That means you end up paying for huge sheetrock fixes and brand new tile work on top of buying the actual heavy basin.
Actually, there is a much smarter trick that smart neighbors use to bypass all that heavy head-scratching stress completely. Local pros bring fancy coating gear right into your house and spray a brand new finish straight over your existing fixture. Therefore, you get that shiny factory fresh look without breaking your bank account or living in a massive mess for a month.
Starting with a raw clean surface is the real big secret behind making these tough chemical coatings last for many years. First, I come in and scrape off every single tiny speck of gross mold, soap scum, and gross old caulk line. Next, special acid bath liquids get painted on to etch the smooth slick glass down so the fresh paint grabs tight.
Meanwhile, any nasty deep chips or ugly dark cracks get filled up tight with smooth waterproof epoxy paste. After that paste dries completely flat, we sand the whole surface smooth until it feels like soft polished liquid silk. Additionally, high powered exhaust fans blow all the weird smelly fumes outside so your house stays smelling fresh and safe.
Then, multiple strong layers of thick high tech synthetic porcelain get sprayed on using fine air pressure tools. Which means you end up with a smooth ultra glossy surface that hides all the old ugly dark stains effortlessly. Finally, a quick heat lamp setup bakes the high tech shiny layers so you can jump right back into taking hot baths real soon.
| Fixing Path | Average Cost | Time to Finish | Mess Factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Tear Out Replacement | $3,500 - $8,000 | 4 to 8 Days | Huge Dust Disaster |
| Professional Surface Spray | $350 - $650 | 4 to 6 Hours | Super Clean and Neat |
Indeed, saving your hard earned cash is easily the biggest reason folks love this quick home improvement trick. Buying a cheap plastic tub might sound affordable at first, but hiring plumbers and tilers jacks up the bill real fast. On top of that, keeping your original thick cast iron tub is great because those big vintage units hold heat way better anyway.
Besides that, you get to pick awesome custom colors instead of plain boring builder white if you really want to spice things up. Plus, the smooth non-porous top coat keeps scary bacteria and dark mildew from sticking into small microscopic cracks. Consequently, cleaning your bathroom becomes a quick breeze using just basic non-abrasive dish soap and a soft wet cloth.
Anyway, doing this quick project adds real value to your house if you ever plan to throw it on the hot local housing market. Buyers hate seeing chipped stained tubs, so a bright spotless basin instantly makes your whole bathroom look rich and updated. Best of all, the entire spraying process usually takes less than one single day from start to bright shiny finish.
Naturally, you want local work guys who actually show up on time and respect your clean carpets. Living out here near the peaceful rolling hills of Clackamas County means we treat all our neighbors like real genuine friends. In fact, homes in the 97089 area code range from sweet historic farmhouses to beautiful modern split level spots that deserve top notch care.
Even better, households here earn a solid median income around $92,883, so smart spending on durable home upgrades is always a big top priority. Instead of wasting money on complete tear-outs, local families with part of our 12,024 population prefer restoring built-in quality fixtures that last long. Furthermore, we know all the local water types around here, which helps us pick the absolute toughest primers for long lasting shine.
Remember, trying cheap store bought spray cans from the local hardware store usually ends in a total flaking peel disaster. Those cheap DIY paint kits do not stick right, meaning they turn into ugly floating plastic chips during your bath next week. Instead, our professional grade industrial resins bond permanently on a molecular level so you never have to worry about ugly peeling edges.
Step one starts simple when you call us up to grab your zero pressure free estimate. Next, we drop by to inspect your basin, check the surrounding tiles, and explain all the cool color options in plain easy terms. Straightforward pricing means you never get hit with scary surprise fees when the final bill comes at the end of the day.
Afterwards, we carefully mask off all your nice walls, vanity counters, and metallic shiny faucets with painter paper and blue tape. Consequently, not a single rogue drop of fresh overspray finish ever lands on your expensive vanity or custom floor tiles. On top of that, we clean up every bit of garbage before we pack up our tools so your room stays spotless.
Finally, we hand you a detailed easy checklist on how to care for your brand new glass glossy coat for many years. Following these basic simple steps keeps that soft sleek feel perfectly intact without needing harsh scrub powders or nasty bleached sponges. Thus, you get a beautiful spa experience every single night right in the peaceful cozy quarters of your own home.
Now, maintaining your bright shiny surface is super simple if you throw away those nasty old wire scratch pads. Avoid using harsh chemical bleaches or abrasive scouring powders because those rough liquids scratch up the smooth shiny top seal fast. Instead, stick to gentle liquid soaps and smooth soft sponges to wipe down water spots after taking a warm relaxing shower.
Likewise, fix any leaky dripping faucets right away so heavy drops do not wear down the tough protective gloss coat over time. Leaky water valve heads leave dark rusty mineral trails if you let steady drops bang on the synthetic resin for months on end. Also, remember to skip using those cheap stick-on suction rubber bath mats because they grab the glossy finish too hard and tear it up.
Occasionally, rubbing a little bit of standard soft automotive spray wax on the dry surface brings back an insane double gloss shine. That quick wax layer makes bath water slide down the drain super fast so soap scum never gets a chance to build up thick. Therefore, spend two quick minutes wiping down the glossy base each week to enjoy that fresh rich look for over a decade.
So, stop hiding your ugly stained fixture behind thick dark plastic shower curtains whenever family comes over to visit. You can easily get a smooth glossy top layer put on for a tiny fraction of total bathroom replacement cost. Today is the absolute best time to turn your tired old bath setup into a super bright clean place you actually love using again.
Moreover, getting started does not cost you a single red cent because our friendly estimates are totally clear and zero risk. We come straight to your driveway, check out the project, and give you a rock solid price upfront with zero high pressure sales tactics. Which means you can make the absolute best choice for your budget and your house without feeling rushed or stressed out at all.

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 Damascus, 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.
