A dull or chipped tub in Elko New Market 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.
That ugly, stained bathroom fixture is probably driving you crazy every single day.
Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to fix it.
Our skilled local team specializes in restoring the original shine of your bathing basin right where it sits.
By choosing this smart update, you will save a massive amount of time and hassle.
Actually, we can complete the entire transformation in just a few short hours.
This means you can get back to your normal routine without dealing with weeks of dusty construction.
Since we love helping our neighbors, we always offer a completely free on-site consultation.
During this visit, we will inspect your worn-out surface and give you an exact price.
You get a beautiful, shiny finish without any sneaky hidden fees or surprise costs.
Many homeowners think they must rip out their old cast iron or acrylic basin when it gets dull.
However, this process often turns into a total remodeling nightmare that ruins your walls and flooring.
Which means you end up paying plumbers, drywallers, and tilers to fix the mess they made.
On top of that, those old-school fixtures are often made of incredibly durable materials.
Modern replacements are frequently flimsy, cheap, and lose their heat way too fast.
Keeping your heavy-duty original piece is simply a much smarter choice for your wallet and your peace of mind.
Our special bonding system breathes new life into these classic fixtures.
We apply a high-performance liquid acrylic coating that fuses directly with the old substrate.
The final result looks exactly like a brand-new porcelain unit straight from the showroom floor.
To achieve a flawless finish, we must follow a very strict multi-step process.
First, we clean the area with specialized industrial prep agents to strip away decades of soap scum.
This deep cleaning ensures that the new materials will stick perfectly to the old surface.
Next, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots that are ruining your bathroom.
We use waterproof polyester resins to fill in these damaged areas so everything is completely flat.
Once dry, we sand these spots down until they are totally seamless and invisible to the naked eye.
Then, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding agent called a silane primer.
This chemical bridge acts like a super-strong glue between the old porcelain and the new topcoat.
Without this crucial step, the fresh finish would start peeling off within just a few months.
Finally, we spray several coats of a high-gloss aliphatic polyurethane finish.
We use professional HVLP spray systems to ensure an incredibly smooth, mirror-like appearance.
This premium material resists yellowing and stands up to hot water for many years to come.
Choosing the right path for your home improvement project can feel a bit overwhelming.

One written quote, no pressure, and the work only starts when you say so.
We help you bypass the stress of construction while delivering a beautiful, sparkling bathroom.
It is the ultimate shortcut to a clean, fresh space that you will actually enjoy using.
You might see cheap painting kits at your local home improvement store and feel tempted to try them.
Unfortunately, those retail products are usually just cheap epoxy paints that you roll on with a brush.
They leave ugly brush marks, take days to dry, and almost always peel within a few weeks.
Furthermore, those box store kits do not include the professional-grade etching acids needed for proper prep.
Without these dangerous chemicals, the paint simply cannot stick to smooth porcelain or fiberglass.
You will end up with a flaky, sticky mess that is even harder for us to fix later.
Our skilled technicians use heavy-duty ventilation systems to safely exhaust all fumes outdoors.
We also wear professional respirators and protective gear to ensure a safe application process.
Letting us handle this job saves you from inhaling toxic fumes and guarantees a gorgeous finish.

We carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheeting before we start.
Our crew leaves your space absolutely spotless, so the only sign of our visit is your glowing tub.
Keeping your newly coated fixture clean is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, porous tub.
Because the new non-porous surface is super smooth, dirt and soap scum cannot grip onto it.
A gentle wipe down with a soft sponge and mild soap is all you need.
However, you must avoid abrasive cleaners like Ajax, Comet, or harsh scrubbing pads.
These rough products will scratch the glossy acrylic topcoat and make it look dull over time.
Treating the finish with care ensures it remains bright and beautiful for over a decade.
Additionally, we recommend staying away from suction-cup bath mats, which can pull at the coating.
If you need extra slip resistance, just let us know before we start spraying the material.
We can easily apply a permanent, slip-resistant texture directly into the bottom of the basin.

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 Elko New Market, 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.
