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.

Maybe you are wondering how we actually make old fixtures look brand new. Well we start by cleaning the surface with special industrial prep solutions to strip away years of soap scum and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures the new materials grip onto the old base with maximum strength so nothing peels later.
After that we repair any deep chips scratches or rust spots using high quality polyester fillers. Once the surface is perfectly flat we apply a sophisticated molecular bonding agent that acts like a super glue between the old tub and the new finish. Then we spray several layers of a high tech acrylic urethane topcoat that cures into a rock solid high gloss shell.
To help you understand how this compares to other options we created a quick comparison table below.
| Comparison Factor | Our Refinishing Method | Full Replacement | Plastic Acrylic Liners |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable | Extremely expensive | Moderately high |
| Time to Complete | Under 5 hours | 3 to 7 days | 1 to 2 days |
| Mess and Dust | Very minimal | Huge amount of debris | Moderate |
| Lifespan | 10 to 15 years | 20 plus years | 5 to 10 years |
This table clearly shows why so many smart homeowners choose to recoat rather than replace. You save money time and a giant headache by choosing our advanced restoration process. On top of that you avoid the risk of plumbing leaks that often happen when you tear out old pipes.
Living in the beautiful Northwest high plains region of the Sunflower State means you appreciate honest hard work and fair prices. Our service area covers the entirety of Decatur County where around 2,800 friendly residents make their homes. We regularly travel to every corner of this peaceful farming community including the zip codes 67749 and 67739 to help people love their bathrooms again.
Since the median household income in our county is around forty eight thousand dollars we know that every dollar counts for your family budget. Buying a brand new tub might look cheap at the local hardware store but the actual installation cost is what breaks the bank. You have to hire expensive plumbers to update old pipes and pay carpenters to fix damaged drywall.
Our local crew respects your hard earned money and your time. We show up exactly when we say we will because we know you have busy schedules to keep. This lets you get a gorgeous modern bathroom update without breaking your wallet or wasting your precious weekend.
Now you might worry that a sprayed surface will look cheap or peel off after a few months. That only happens when cheap DIY kits from the big box stores are used by amateurs. Our trained technicians use industrial grade materials that you cannot buy at a retail shop.
These professional products bond on a chemical level to create a non porous barrier. This means dirt and mildew cannot sink into the surface anymore. Consequently your weekly cleaning chores become incredibly easy because you only need a mild soap and a soft sponge to wipe it down.
We often get calls from panicked homeowners who tried to paint their own basins using cheap retail brush on kits. Those cheap epoxy paints almost always turn yellow bubble up and peel off within a few short weeks. Cleaning up a failed DIY job actually costs more money because we have to strip off all that sticky residue before we can do our work.
Save yourself the frustration and let our team handle the dangerous chemical fumes and heavy sanding equipment. We use professional exhaust ventilation systems to pull all the odors out of your house while we work. This keeps your indoor air clean and safe for your kids and pets.
We believe in absolute honesty with our neighbors which is why we want to share the realistic downsides of this process too. While our restoration method is incredibly durable it is not quite as indestructible as a brand new porcelain fixture. You must avoid using abrasive powder cleaners bleach or steel wool pads on your newly coated surface.
If you drop heavy metal tools or sharp objects into the basin it can still chip just like the original surface would. However the fantastic news is that we can easily patch small chips if accidents happen down the road. This flexibility gives you peace of mind knowing that a minor mistake does not mean you have to start all over again.
On the positive side the speed of our process is truly unmatched by any other remodeling method. Our technicians can complete the entire transformation in just a single morning or afternoon. Which means your family can take a warm relaxing bath in your upgraded tub the very next day.
There is absolutely no reason to keep living with a dingy yellowed or cracked washing area. Our friendly local team is ready to help you fall in love with your home all over again. We love serving our tight knit Kansas community and we treat every house we visit with the utmost respect.
To make things as easy as possible for you we offer completely free no obligation estimates right at your doorstep. We will inspect your current fixture explain your color options and give you a clear written price. This lets you make an informed decision without any high pressure sales tactics or hidden fees.
Take the first step toward your beautiful new bathroom today by reaching out to our team. We are excited to meet you and show you how easy and affordable home improvement can really be. Let us bring that sparkling bright shine back to your home today...
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.
