All over Franklin County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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 wake up every single morning and stare at that faded, scratched basin in your bathroom. Honestly, it looks like something straight out of a horror movie from forty years ago. But you do not have to spend thousands of dollars ripping out your entire plumbing system just to get a clean space.
Instead, a simple surface restoration breathes brand new life into your old fixture. This process saves you tons of time and keeps extra cash in your wallet. Our local team comes right to your door in this beautiful part of the Sunflower State to make your home shine again.
By choosing this smart update, you avoid the noisy chaos of construction crews tearing up your floors. You get a glossy, gorgeous finish that looks identical to a brand new installation. Best of all, we can start planning this transformation today with a completely free estimate at your home.
Many homeowners think their only option is buying a brand new tub when the old one gets ugly. However, that old cast iron or steel fixture is probably much stronger than the cheap plastic ones sold in stores today. Keeping your original unit and giving it a high-tech facelift is actually the smartest move.
Our specialized process involves applying a durable, high-gloss liquid acrylic coating over your existing structure. This chemical bond creates an incredibly tough shield that resists chips and stains for many years to come. You get the luxury of a sparkling clean basin without the massive headache of a major renovation.
On top of that, the entire process takes just a few hours from start to finish. Once the specialized coatings cure, your fixture feels incredibly smooth to the touch and looks absolutely pristine. It is the ultimate shortcut to a modern bathroom without the premium price tag.
If you decide to replace your old tub, you have to hire a plumber, a tiler, and maybe even a drywall expert. Consequently, your house becomes a dusty construction zone for weeks. That is why our quick on-site resurfacing service is such a game changer for busy families.
| Comparison Factor | Complete Replacement | Our Professional Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very high (often thousands) | Super affordable |
| Time to Complete | One to two weeks | Less than a single day |
| Mess and Dust | Extreme drywall and tile debris | Virtually none |
| Durability | Depends on new material quality | Highly resilient and long-lasting |
As you can see, the benefits of choosing a professional refinishing service are absolutely massive. This smart choice protects your weekends so you can relax instead of cleaning up construction dust. We bring all the necessary equipment directly to your home and handle every single step with absolute care.
First, we clean the existing surface with specialized industrial solutions to remove every trace of soap scum and mineral deposits. This step is crucial because even the tiniest speck of grease can ruin the final bond. We take our time here to ensure the foundation is absolutely perfect.
Next, we repair any deep scratches, ugly chips, or rusted spots using a heavy-duty waterproof filler. This step makes the old, damaged areas completely disappear under the new layers. We then apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old porcelain and the new finish.
Finally, we spray multiple coats of a premium topcoat using professional spray equipment for a flawless finish. This technique eliminates brush marks and leaves a mirror-like shine that looks incredibly beautiful. You get a gorgeous bathroom fixture that feels brand new and stands up to daily use.
Living in this lovely Midwestern region means you appreciate hard work, honesty, and getting real value for your dollar. Our team loves traveling throughout the local area to help neighbors upgrade their properties. We understand the unique historic homes found in these communities, which often feature gorgeous vintage cast iron tubs.
Whether you live in a cozy bungalow or a modern ranch house, we customize our service to fit your exact needs. The local population here of around twenty-six thousand people deserves top-tier service without big-city price markups. We are proud to serve families across various local zip codes like 66067 and 66006 with our specialized skills.
With a median household income of about sixty-three thousand dollars, local residents know the importance of budgeting wisely. Spending a fortune on a bathroom demolition simply does not make sense when this affordable alternative exists. We help you stretch your hard-earned dollars while still achieving the gorgeous home interior you deserve.
Now, keeping your shiny new finish looking perfect is actually incredibly easy if you follow a few basic rules. You must avoid abrasive bleach powders and harsh scrubbing pads that can scratch the glossy topcoat over time. Instead, stick to mild liquid soaps and soft sponges to wipe down the basin after use.
This simple care routine ensures your restored fixture stays bright, clean, and beautiful for up to a decade. Which means you spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees and more time enjoying your life. It is a fantastic way to simplify your weekly cleaning chores while keeping your bathroom looking pristine.
Additionally, we always recommend wiping away standing water around the drain area to prevent mineral buildup. This small habit protects the bond and keeps the glossy finish looking like polished glass. Our friendly technicians will walk you through these easy maintenance tips before we leave your home.

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, 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.
