In Elyria-Swansea, the Denver technician we send repairs, sprays and caulks your tub where it stands.
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 look at that ugly, stained tub every single morning and feel a instant wave of defeat. Honestly, those decades of scrubbed-in grime and outdated colors can make your whole home feel kinda dingy and old. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to get that sparkling clean feeling back. Our local crew comes right to your home in this historic northern Denver neighborhood to make your old tub look brand-new in just one day.
By choosing this smart update, you skip the massive headache of hiring plumbers and tearing down walls. Instead, our specialized process bonds a fresh, durable high-gloss coating directly over your existing cast iron or fiberglass setup. Which means you get to enjoy a brilliant, sparkling surface without the crazy mess of a traditional remodel.
This budget-friendly shortcut saves you heaps of cash while delivering the exact same beautiful results as a brand-new installation. Since we are proud locals, we love helping our neighbors around the old industrial heart of the Mile High City upgrade their homes. Why live with a stained, scratched surface when a quick call can bring a friendly technician to your door for a totally free project estimation?
First, we scrub the old surface with special heavy-duty cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum, hard water deposits, and body oils. This critical step ensures our new materials bond perfectly to the original structure. If we skip this deep clean, the new finish might peel off down the road, and we absolutely refuse to cut corners like that.
Next, we carefully repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks using specialized fillers that cure incredibly fast. After sanding those patches flat, we apply a high-tech bonding agent that acts like a super-strength chemical anchor. Consequently, the shiny new topcoat fuses completely with your old tub on a molecular level.
Finally, we spray several layers of a premium acrylic urethane coating using professional ventilation equipment to keep your indoor air clean. This meticulous spraying process creates a smooth, glass-like finish that looks incredibly sleek and modern. Once it cures, your bathroom instantly feels brighter, cleaner, and far more inviting for your daily soak.
Let us look at how this process compares to a full-blown bathroom tear-out. Replacing a tub often forces you to replace surrounding tiles, update old plumbing, and pay hefty disposal fees for heavy debris. To help you visualize the massive savings, we put together a simple comparison table below.
| Project Factor | Full Replacement Method | Our Specialized Surface Renewal |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | $3,000 to $6,000+ | $350 to $650 |
| Time to Complete | 3 to 7 days of chaos | 4 to 6 hours total |
| Mess and Dust | Extreme drywall and tile dust | Virtually none (fully contained) |
| Plumbing Changes | Usually required by local codes | None needed at all |
As you can see, choosing to restore your existing fixture keeps your hard-earned money in your wallet. This is especially awesome for working-class families living near the old stockyards who want to maximize their home value. On top of that, you can use your newly coated tub in just twenty-four hours after we pack up our tools.
Living in this specific part of the Denver metro area means dealing with unique home layouts and older plumbing systems. Many houses around the 80216 ZIP code feature classic architecture that is tough to modify without triggering expensive building permits. Because we know these local homes inside and out, we handle every single quirk with absolute ease.
Our hardworking team treats your property with the utmost respect, always wearing protective booties and sealing off the work area. This professional setup prevents any overspray or dust from drifting into your hallway or bedroom. Furthermore, we use specialized exhaust fans to pull any strong chemical odors directly out of your house during the spraying phase.
We do not believe in pushy sales tactics or hidden fees that pop up at the end of the job. Instead, we offer straightforward pricing and honest advice about whether your fixture is a good candidate for our process. If your tub has major structural damage that cannot be saved, we will tell you upfront because we value honesty over a quick buck.
To protect your gorgeous new finish, you must throw away those abrasive scrubbing powders and harsh bleach products. These gritty cleaners will scratch the beautiful gloss over time and make the surface look dull and lifeless. Instead, we highly recommend using mild dish soap or gentle foaming cleaners with a soft sponge.
Another smart trick is to avoid leaving wet shampoo bottles or heavy damp washcloths sitting directly on the ledge. Standing water can eventually weaken the bond of even the strongest professional coatings if left unchecked. By spending just ten seconds wiping down the surface after your shower, you keep it looking brand-new for up to a decade.
Lastly, make sure your bathroom faucet does not have a slow, constant drip that beats down on the drain area. Over several years, that constant dripping can wear away the finish and cause premature peeling or discoloration. Fixing a leaky tap is a super cheap task that protects your beautiful bathroom investment for the long haul.
You do not have to feel embarrassed when guests ask to use your restroom anymore. Our quick, affordable process delivers a stunning transformation that will make you smile every time you walk past the bathroom door. Plus, we stand behind our craftsmanship with a solid warranty that gives you total peace of mind.
Our friendly local technicians are ready to drive out to your home and give you an honest, no-obligation quote. We will measure your space, check the condition of your porcelain or fiberglass, and answer every single question you have. Taking this simple step helps you plan your home improvement budget without any pressure or annoying sales pitches.
Go ahead and grab your phone to schedule your free home consultation. Let us help you fall in love with your home all over again while keeping your savings account perfectly intact. We cannot wait to meet you and turn that old, stained basin into a glowing highlight of your beautiful house...
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 Elyria-Swansea, 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.
