A dull or chipped tub in Elbow Lake 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.
You can finally stop hiding your ugly bathroom behind a thick shower curtain.
Our professional team specializes in breathing new life into worn out bathing basins right in your home.
We help you save thousands of dollars compared to a messy, weeks-long replacement project.
By choosing this smart restoration method, you skip the headache of hiring plumbers and tearing down drywall.
Instead, we apply a high-tech protective coating that bonds directly to your existing cast iron or steel fixture.
This process delivers a shiny, smooth surface that looks identical to a brand new installation.
Naturally, we want to make this upgrade as easy as possible for your budget.
That is why we offer a completely free estimate where we come look at your layout and give you an honest price.
You get a beautiful, clean space to soak in without the premium price tag.
Many folks do not realize that you do not have to throw away a perfectly strong structural tub just because the color is outdated.
Actually, older fixtures are often made of incredibly durable materials that hold heat much better than modern plastic replacements.
Our specialized hands-on service strips away the old, faded glaze and applies a fresh, durable topcoat.
First, we carefully prepare the area by masking off your tiles and floor to keep your home spotless.
Then, we use professional-grade etching compounds to create a microscopic texture on the old porcelain.
This critical step ensures the new synthetic finish grabs hold and never lets go.
After that, we spray multiple layers of a high-performance acrylic polymer that cures into a rock-hard shield.
Which means you get a sparkling, easy-to-clean basin that resists scratches and stains for years to come.
Your daily showers will suddenly feel like a visit to a fancy getaway spot.
Imagine the noise, dust, and sheer chaos of workers hauling heavy debris through your hallways.
On top of that, standard remodeling often uncovers hidden water damage behind the walls, which drains your wallet fast.
Our clean, localized approach avoids all of those nasty surprises completely.
To give you a better idea of how these two options compare, we put together a quick breakdown:
| Comparison Factor | Our Restoration Service | Full Fixture Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable, usually saving you up to 70% | Extremely high due to labor, plumbing, and tile work |
| Project Time | Done in a single day | Can take a week or more |
| Mess & Dust | Minimal, we seal the room and vent fumes outside | Major demolition dust throughout your house |
| Durability | Lasts 10 to 15 years with proper basic care | Long lasting but requires massive upfront effort |
Consequently, you keep your hard-earned money in your pocket while still enjoying a gorgeous home upgrade.

We treat every single project as if we were working on our own grandmother's house.
To achieve that glass-like look, we never cut corners or skip the boring preparation work.
We start by removing all the old, moldy caulk around the edges where water loves to hide.
This prevents moisture from getting trapped under our fresh coating.
Next, we use specialized ventilation equipment to pull any strong chemical odors out of your house while we work.
This keeps your indoor air clean and safe for your family and pets.
We then apply a molecular bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old surface and the new enamel.
Finally, we spray the topcoat using precision tools that eliminate any runs, bumps, or uneven spots.
The result is a perfectly uniform surface that feels wonderful to the touch.
You will love how water beads up and slides right down the drain.
Once we pack up our gear and leave you with a beautiful tub, caring for it is incredibly easy.
You must avoid abrasive scouring powders or harsh bleach products that can dull the shiny finish over time.
Instead, simply wipe it down with a mild liquid soap and a soft sponge after use.
This simple habit keeps the protective layer smooth and prevents soap scum from building up.
On top of that, keeping your dripping faucets fixed prevents rusty water stains from forming near the drain.
These minor steps ensure your restored basin remains the highlight of your bathroom for a decade.

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 Elbow Lake, 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.
