A dull or chipped tub in Florence 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.
Are you tired of looking at those scratched, stained, or dated basins in your home? You can actually transform the look of your entire washroom without the messy nightmare of ripping everything out.
Getting a fresh finish on your aging enamel or fiberglass basin is a smart way to upgrade your space. Because this process is so fast, you save tons of time compared to a full renovation.
Actually, most folks don't realize they have other options besides buying brand new gear. When you decide to refinish, you are saving materials from the landfill and keeping more cash in your wallet.
This local service covers all of Florence, Wisconsin, including the 54121 zip code area. You get the benefit of a brand new look that mimics the high-end feel of a modern installation.
Given that this is a small community with a population of about 501 people, we value keeping our homes in great shape. Since the median household income is around $30,388, making cost-effective choices really matters to every neighbor.
First, you might wonder how we actually make an old, yellowed basin look bright and white again. We start by cleaning the surface deeply to remove years of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits.
After the cleaning, we repair any cracks or chips using specialized fillers to create a smooth base. This prep work is crucial because it ensures the new coating sticks perfectly for a long time.
Then, we apply a high-quality resin bonding agent that creates a seamless, durable barrier over the old material. This gives you a pristine, glossy finish that makes your daily hygiene routine feel much more pleasant.
Because the chemicals used are industrial grade, they require a skilled hand to apply evenly without drips or bubbles. This lets you enjoy a smooth result that feels like luxury every time you step into your washroom.
| Feature | Full Replacement | Surface Renewal | |

| Project Time | Several Weeks | One Day | |
| Total Cost | Extremely High | Very Affordable | |
| Mess Level | Very High | Very Low | |
| Durability | Same As New | Highly Resistant |
Besides saving money, you avoid the headache of dealing with plumbers, carpenters, and tile setters stomping through your house for weeks. You just pick your color and watch the magic happen in a single afternoon.
If you are worried about the smell, don't be, because modern ventilation systems pull fumes outside immediately. This means you can get back to using your space much sooner than you thought possible.
Perhaps you notice that your basin feels rough or gritty no matter how hard you scrub it. That gritty feeling is a clear sign that the original protective glaze has worn away completely.
Once that glaze is gone, the porous surface underneath starts soaking up dirt, grime, and mildew like a sponge. When you see dark spots that refuse to come out, you are looking at deep-set stains.
Furthermore, if you see rust creeping out from around the drain or chipped enamel on the bottom, it is time to act. Ignoring these issues often leads to water leaking behind your walls.
Since I live and work right here in this beautiful area of the state, I know how important it is to do honest work for our neighbors. You deserve a contractor who shows up on time and finishes the job with care.
Because I provide a free estimate for every project, you never have to guess about the price before we start. This lets you plan your budget with total peace of mind and no hidden surprises.
Plus, you get to support the local economy while improving the market value of your property. Even a small upgrade like this makes a huge difference when you decide to sell your place later on.
While classic white remains the most popular choice, you can actually pick from several modern shades to update your style. Maybe you want a crisp, bright look to make a small room feel bigger.
Or perhaps you prefer a soft off-white or cream color to match your existing tiles or wall paint. You can even choose a textured finish that provides extra grip if you are worried about slipping.
Since we apply the finish right in your home, you see the color in your own lighting before we finalize the coating. This allows you to be totally happy with your choice before we start the main application.
Even though the new coating is incredibly tough, you should avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool. These materials will scratch the surface and ruin the shine you worked so hard to achieve.
Instead, stick to mild soaps and a soft cloth or a non-scratch sponge to keep things clean. When you follow these simple steps, your refinished surface will stay looking great for many years to come.
Also, try to keep the area dry between uses by wiping away standing water if possible. This prevents mineral buildup and keeps the finish looking glossy and fresh for a much longer time.

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 Florence, 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.
