A dull or chipped tub in Deering 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.
Maybe you cringe every single time you step into your bathroom because of those ugly stains. Fortunately, you can completely transform your worn out bathing fixture without paying for an expensive and messy replacement. By choosing to apply a durable new coating over your existing basin, you get a gorgeous surface that looks fresh off the showroom floor.
Actually, this smart update saves you thousands of dollars compared to tearing out walls. Our local crew handles everything right in your home to make that old cast iron or fiberglass shine again. You will love how easy it is to clean the smooth new glaze.
Instead of ripping out your plumbing, we use specialized chemicals to bond a fresh, glossy outer layer to your current fixture. This method works wonders on chipped porcelain, faded acrylic, and outdated colors from past decades. First, we must strip away the old soap scum and mineral deposits to ensure the new material sticks perfectly.
Next, we repair any deep scratches or chips with a waterproof filler. This step is vital because even tiny imperfections can ruin the final look. Then, we apply a high tech bonding agent followed by several coats of a durable topcoat.
Once the product cures, you get a gleaming, non porous barrier that resists mold and mildew. This means you can say goodbye to endless scrubbing with harsh abrasive cleaners. It is a fast and affordable way to modernize your entire bathroom in just one day.
To help you compare your options, here is how our local surface restoration service stacks up against a full remodel:
| Project Factor | Our Refinishing Service | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Highly budget friendly | Extremely expensive |
| Time to Complete | Usually 4 to 6 hours | Several days to weeks |
| Mess and Dust | Very minimal and contained | Heavy construction debris |
| Durability | Lasts for many years | Depends on new materials bought |
Living in a cozy community in McHenry County means appreciating practical solutions that do not drain your bank account. With a local median household income of about $65,625, spending a fortune on contractors just does not make sense. Our specialized service offers the perfect middle ground for budget conscious families.
Whether you reside in the 58731 ZIP code area or nearby, we bring our mobile equipment directly to your doorstep. Since our town has a small population of around 114 residents, we treat every customer like our closest neighbor. You get personalized attention and honest advice from start to finish.
Indeed, we know the local water conditions can take a heavy toll on bathroom fixtures over time. Hard water minerals create stubborn orange and brown stains that seem impossible to remove. Our ultra smooth finish prevents these minerals from gripping the surface, making maintenance absolute bliss.
Think about the massive headache of hiring a plumber, a tiler, and a drywall installer just to swap out one basin. Which means you would be without a working bathroom for days or even weeks. Our onsite process bypasses all that chaos entirely.
On top of that, older homes often feature heavy cast iron tubs that are built like tanks. These classic fixtures hold heat beautifully and offer a deep soak that modern plastic tubs cannot match. Restoring the surface preserves that historic quality while removing the unsightly wear and tear.
Consequently, you retain the character of your home while enjoying a clean, hygienic space. This simple project instantly boosts the appeal of your property if you ever decide to sell. It is a win for your wallet and your peace of mind.
When our friendly team arrives at your home, we start by carefully masking off your floors, walls, and vanity. This protects your bathroom from any overspray or dust. We also set up a heavy duty ventilation system to pull odors outside during the application.
After we complete the deep cleaning and etching, we spray the high gloss coating using professional equipment. This ensures an even, factory like finish without any brush strokes or drip marks. Finally, we clean up our workspace so your bathroom is left tidy and ready to cure.
To get the most out of your investment, you must treat the new finish with a little bit of care. Avoid using abrasive scrubbing powders, steel wool, or bleach because these can dull the shine over time. Instead, stick to mild dish soap or specialized spray cleaners and a soft sponge.
This simple habit keeps the surface slick and shiny for a decade or more. Remember to wipe down the basin after use to prevent soap residue from building up. Taking care of the coating is incredibly easy when you use the right products.
Moreover, we recommend repairing leaky faucets promptly. Constant dripping can wear down even the toughest finishes over several years. A little preventive maintenance goes a long way in preserving your beautiful bathroom.

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 Deering, 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.

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