A dull or chipped tub in Fairwater 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.
Do you stare at your worn-out wash basin every single morning? You can actually bring back that brand new shine without spending a fortune on a total demolition project.
Most folks living in that quiet corner of Fond du Lac County deal with outdated fixtures that lost their luster years ago. You might think the only way to fix a chipped or stained surface is to rip the whole thing out. Fortunately, there is a much smarter path that lets you keep your current layout while making it look pristine again.
When you choose to revitalize your existing soak-tub, you save a mountain of cash that would otherwise go toward plumbing and tiling. This process effectively seals the old surface and provides a fresh layer that feels smooth and looks bright. You get a space that offers immense repose and serenity without the dusty headache of a construction site.
You might be tempted to pick up a kit from the hardware store to handle this yourself on a Saturday. However, those store-bought solutions often peel after a few months because they lack the industrial strength of professional materials. Getting it done right means the result will last for many years to come.
Because the average household income in your area sits around fifty-two thousand dollars, every penny you save on home upgrades really counts. Why throw away money on a full replacement when you can get a high-quality finish for a fraction of the cost? By opting for this specialized service, you protect your bank account while upgrading your home value significantly.
The folks in this small community with a population of about 378 deserve to have homes that feel modern and clean. Even if your home has an older foundation, you can modernize your primary wash area with a quick visit from a local crew. This local service focuses on the 53931 zip code area to ensure you get personal attention every time.
Imagine walking into your bathroom and seeing a surface so bright and clean that it reflects the light perfectly. That is the kind of result you get when you work with people who know exactly how to handle high-grade resins and polymers. You will notice the difference immediately after the curing process finishes completely.
First, the team comes out to clean every single inch of the old porcelain or fiberglass to remove years of grime. They then repair any cracks or deep scratches that might have gathered debris over the last decade or two. This step is crucial because it creates a flat and stable base for the new coating to grip onto tightly.
After the prep work is finished, they apply multiple layers of a specialized liquid that hardens into a durable shell. This material is incredibly tough and resists water, soap scum, and even the occasional dropped bottle of shampoo. You gain a surface that stays looking great and provides a sense of quiet gratification during your evening rituals.
You might wonder if the smell will be too strong for your house during the application phase. Modern methods have improved significantly to keep fumes down while still delivering a rock-solid finish. You can usually get back to using your facilities within a day or two without any lingering issues.
The estimate spells out parts and labor, so nothing comes as a surprise. When you skip the demolition, you skip the stress of seeing your home turned upside down for weeks. Everything happens right on site so you stay informed and involved throughout the entire project.
Because you live in a place where neighbors look out for each other, you want someone reliable who shows up on time. That is exactly why getting a complimentary estimate is your best first step. You get all the facts laid out in front of you before anyone touches your bathroom fixtures.
Are you planning to sell your place in the future or just want to enjoy a better living space now? Upgrading your bathroom is one of the fastest ways to increase how much your property is worth. Even a small change like a shiny new tub finish makes a huge impact on potential buyers.
When people walk into a home, they look closely at the condition of the bathrooms and the kitchen surfaces. If your wash basin looks stained or dull, it makes the whole room feel older than it really is. A fresh, glossy coat changes that perception instantly and gives the room a feeling of pure satisfaction.

Do you worry about the longevity of the new surface? When you care for it properly with non-abrasive cleaners, it holds up just as well as a brand-new factory unit. You do not have to baby it, but you should avoid harsh scrubbers that might wear down the finish prematurely.

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 Fairwater, 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.
