All over Decatur 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.
Do you look at your worn out bathtub and feel completely frustrated with its dull finish? Fortunately, you can get a brand new look without spending a fortune by calling our local crew for a free estimate today.
Now is the absolute best time to fix that ugly ceramic piece sitting in your washroom. This smart home upgrade gives you amazing results without the massive headache of a full bathroom gut job.
First, our trained technicians clean the entire basin using strong industrial chemicals to strip away years of stubborn soap scum. This deep cleaning process lets us prepare the base material so the new coating sticks permanently.
Next, we spray a specialized acrylic polyurethane mixture directly onto your existing porcelain or fiberglass basin. Which means your stained container transforms into a shiny masterpiece in just a few short hours.
Meanwhile, traditional remodeling creates weeks of loud noise and leaves your house covered in thick construction dust. By contrast, our fast technique lets you use your upgraded room sooner rather than later.
On top of that, ripping out a heavy cast iron tub damages your floors and destroys your bathroom walls. This modern surfacing method saves you thousands of dollars while protecting your home from unnecessary destruction.
People living throughout this beautiful Hoosier territory deserve top notch home improvement services right at their doorstep. Whether your property sits near the local courthouse square or out on a quiet rural route, we bring our tools directly to your driveway.
Because local homeowners love saving hard earned cash, our affordable surface restoration service is always in massive demand. This local dedication ensures you receive honest pricing and friendly service from neighbors who truly care about your property.
Additionally, keeping your original plumbing layout avoids the insane costs associated with hiring a team of plumbers and carpenters. This clever financial decision leaves plenty of room in your budget for other home projects.
Better yet, a gleaming white basin instantly increases your overall property value if you plan to sell your house soon. Buyers love walking into a clean bathroom that feels luxurious and fresh.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time Required | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Very High | Several Weeks | Extreme Mess |
| Our Pro Service | Low Cost | One Day | Zero Mess |
Looking at that simple comparison makes the right choice obvious for any practical homeowner. Therefore, you should always weigh the hidden expenses of demolition before swinging a sledgehammer.
Furthermore, new tubs often have lower quality steel compared to older vintage cast iron models found in historic properties. This means saving your old basin actually gives you a sturdier product in the long run.
Before we arrive at your house, please remove all personal items like shampoo bottles and bath toys from the room. This simple step lets our workers move quickly and efficiently without any distractions.
Next, we set up industrial ventilation fans to push strong odors out through your window during the spraying phase. Such careful precautions ensure your living space stays safe and fresh while we work magic.
After we finish applying the fresh glossy layers, the chemical bonds need about twenty four hours to cure completely. This crucial waiting period lets the material harden into a rugged finish that resists everyday wear and tear.
Once the coating fully hardens, you simply need to use mild soap and soft sponges for your weekly cleaning routine. Avoid harsh abrasive scrubbers so your newly revived surface stays shiny for many years to come.
When you take good care of the restored finish, your updated basin can easily look fantastic for over a decade. This impressive durability gives you long lasting satisfaction without the heavy price tag of a full remodel.
Plus, if accidental damage ever occurs down the road, our team can easily repair just the damaged spot. Which means you never have to pay for a complete do over because of one small chip.
While the specialized bonding agents do have a strong smell during application, our ventilation equipment removes the fumes almost instantly. Therefore, your household stays completely safe while we transform your outdated washroom fixtures.
Moreover, the odor disappears completely soon after the curing process finishes, leaving behind zero lingering smells. This lets you enjoy your gorgeous new bathroom without worrying about harmful indoor air pollution.
Waiting too long to fix a pitted or stained surface allows moisture to seep underneath and cause hidden structural damage. Therefore, addressing these cosmetic issues early saves you from dealing with expensive rot later.
Instead of living with a gross looking tub that ruins your morning routine, you can fix it this week. This tiny change drastically improves your daily happiness and makes your home feel brand new again.

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.
