All over Douglas 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.
Are you staring at a tired old basin that looks like it survived a prehistoric battle? Fortunately, you can get a brand new look for a fraction of the replacement cost by calling our local team.
This clever home improvement trick saves you thousands of dollars while avoiding messy demolition work. Naturally, your morning routine becomes much more enjoyable when your soaking space shines like new.
Most folks do not realize that their old porcelain basin has plenty of life left underneath those stains. Instead of ripping out heavy cast iron, professional technicians spray a specialized acrylic coating right over the existing structure. Consequently, you skip weeks of dusty remodeling chaos and enjoy a stunning finish almost instantly.
Truthfully, this technique bonds molecularly with the original substrate to create a durable shield against daily wear and tear. Meanwhile, the chemical compounds used by our crew cure into a rock hard barrier that resists chipping and fading for years. Because of this advanced bonding power, your investment stays protected against peeling and discoloration.
Pulling out a vintage tub requires sledgehammers, expensive plumbing modifications, and structural repairs to your floors. Besides that, you lose valuable weekend hours dealing with debris removal and unexpected contractor delays. Happily, our surface updating method keeps your bathroom intact and finishes the entire job in just one day.
Alternatively, buying a cheap plastic insert often leads to trapped moisture and mold growth underneath the surface. By choosing professional coating instead, you seal every crack and create a sanitary waterproof shield. Therefore, your family stays safe from hidden water damage and nasty mildew spores.
Landfills in the Pacific Northwest already groan under the weight of discarded home renovation debris and heavy metal basins. By opting for local surface renewal, you keep heavy waste out of our beautiful regional dump sites. Thus, you play a direct role in protecting the gorgeous forests and rivers around our vibrant Oregon home.
Equally important, manufacturing a brand new tub burns massive amounts of fossil fuels and raw materials. Restoring your existing basin requires a tiny fraction of that energy footprint and preserves natural resources. This lets you practice green living without sacrificing any modern visual appeal.
Every single job starts with a thorough cleaning to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water minerals. After that intensive prep work, our specialists mask off your surrounding walls and floors to protect your tilework. This meticulous attention to detail ensures your bathroom remains neat and tidy throughout the entire process.
Next comes the application of a high grade bonding agent that grips the old surface tightly. Once that primer cures, we apply multiple layers of premium aliphatic polyurethane coating using professional HVLP sprayers. Ultimately, you get a glossy, mirror like finish that looks and feels just like factory fresh porcelain.
| Project Phase | What We Do | Your Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Deep clean and etch the old basin | Removes all hidden grime |
| Masking | Protect surrounding walls and floors | Prevents accidental paint overspray |
| Coating | Apply industrial grade acrylic finish | Delivers a gorgeous glossy shine |
Following the final spray application, the material needs about twenty four hours to cure completely before any water exposure. During this short waiting period, your room stays quiet and undisturbed by noisy construction crews. Soon enough, you can draw a hot bath and relax in your newly upgraded sanctuary.
Looking closer at our service area, we proudly cover every corner of the magnificent Douglas County region. From the bustling streets of Roseburg down to the peaceful valleys, our mobile vans bring workshop quality results right to your driveway. Wherever you live across our local zip codes, our crew arrives promptly with all necessary gear.
Keeping your newly coated basin shiny requires just a few basic maintenance habits and gentle cleaning products. Instead of grabbing abrasive scouring powders, you should use mild dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth. This simple switch prevents microscopic scratches and keeps the glossy protective layer intact for decades.
Furthermore, you ought to avoid letting heavy metal buckets or sharp objects drop onto the bottom of the tub. Even though the industrial finish is exceptionally tough, careless impacts can chip any painted or coated surface. By treating your updated fixture with reasonable care, you guarantee lasting beauty.
Accidents happen in busy households, but minor surface scuffs can usually be buffed out with automotive polishing compound. If you ever notice a small blemish, our local team can easily perform a quick touch up service. This ensures you never have to pay for a complete do over because of one little accident.
Additionally, keeping your bathroom properly ventilated prevents excess humidity from attacking the caulking around your tub rim. Running an exhaust fan during showers stops moisture buildup and preserves the neat silicone seals we install. Consequently, your entire bathing area stays clean, dry, and structurally sound.
Many property owners worry about harsh chemical odors filling their living spaces during the spraying procedure. Fortunately, our team uses advanced ventilation systems that pull fumes directly out through your nearest window. This means your house remains free of overwhelming chemical smells while the work takes place.
Another common question involves how long the fresh coating actually lasts under daily family use conditions. With proper care and gentle cleaning routines, a professionally restored basin easily serves your household for ten to fifteen years. That longevity matches the lifespan of a brand new fixture at a fraction of the financial investment.
Replacing an old bathtub often involves tearing out walls, hiring separate plumbers, and buying expensive new tile surrounds. Those hidden expenses add up fast and can easily drain your savings account before the project finally finishes. Meanwhile, our all inclusive surface restoration service costs up to seventy percent less than a traditional tear out remodel.
Besides saving cash, you save precious time by avoiding months of messy construction delays and contractor scheduling conflicts. Our certified technicians complete the entire transformation in just one single working day from start to finish. Therefore, your daily routine suffers zero disruption and your family stays happy.
Stop hiding your stained and outdated tub behind a dirty shower curtain every time guests visit your home. You deserve a gleaming, beautiful washing space that makes you proud of your interior decor choices. Now is the ideal moment to upgrade your living environment without breaking your personal budget.

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.
