A dull or chipped tub in Herbster 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 old, stained tub probably makes you cringe every time you step into the bathroom to brush your teeth.

To put it simply, we apply a high-performance liquid acrylic coating over your existing cast iron or fiberglass fixture.
This chemical bonding process creates a completely new protective layer that hides every single scratch, chip, and ugly stain.
Actually, the final result looks so thick and glossy that your guests will swear you bought a brand-new unit from the store.
Over the years, harsh scrubbers and strong chemical cleaners eat away at the original factory glaze.
Once that protective shine wears thin, the porous material underneath sucks up dirt and soap scum like a sponge.
Consequently, no amount of scrubbing will ever make it look clean again because the stains are literally trapped deep inside the material.
Our professional restoration system seals those microscopic pores forever.
Which means you can finally throw away those aggressive bleach bottles and enjoy an incredibly easy cleaning routine.
A quick wipe with a mild soap and a soft sponge is all it takes to keep that stunning luster alive for years to come.
| Project Phase | What We Do | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Deep clean and strip old DIY paint | Ensures the new finish sticks perfectly without peeling |
| Repair Work | Fill in deep chips, cracks, and rust spots | Creates a perfectly smooth, structurally sound surface |
| Bonding Agent | Apply a proprietary molecular primer | Fuses the new coating to the old material forever |
| Topcoat Spray | Apply multiple layers of premium acrylic glaze | Delivers a deep, gorgeous, high-gloss shine |
First, we meticulously mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to shield your vanity, toilet, and floor.
This careful setup prevents any overspray or dust from settling on your personal belongings.
Then, we set up a powerful ventilation fan to pull any chemical fumes safely out of your home through the nearest window.
Next, we use a specialized acid etch on cast iron porcelain or a unique prep solution on fiberglass to roughen the surface slightly.
This critical step creates millions of microscopic ridges that allow our bonding agents to grip onto the old material with maximum strength.
Without this thorough preparation, any new finish would simply bubble up and peel off within a few short months.
Finally, we spray several thin, even layers of our commercial-grade synthetic porcelain topcoat using professional spray equipment.
This advanced material cures into a rock-hard finish that resists impacts, hot water, and daily wear.
You will be amazed at how smooth the surface feels under your fingertips once the curing process wraps up.
Ripping out an old tub usually turns into a massive construction nightmare that leaves you without a bathroom for weeks.
You often have to hire a plumber, a tiler, and a drywall specialist just to fix the damage caused by removing the old unit.
On the other hand, our clean on-site process takes only a single day to complete from start to finish.
Saving money is obviously a huge perk, but saving your precious time is just as important.
We work efficiently so you can get back to your normal daily routine without plumbers tracking mud through your hallways.
Plus, keeping your sturdy old cast iron tub out of the local landfill is a wonderful bonus for our beautiful environment.
Older fixtures are often built with much thicker, higher-quality materials than the cheap plastic units sold in stores today.
Restoring your existing heavy-duty basin preserves that classic, durable craftsmanship while updating the color to a clean, modern white.
It really is the smartest way to upgrade your home assets without throwing away perfectly good, solid materials.

We understand the unique needs of homes in the 54844 ZIP code, where the median household income sits around $48,750.
Living in this beautiful corner of Wisconsin means dealing with long, cold winters where a hot bath is an absolute necessity.
Having a warm, inviting place to soak after a chilly day outdoors makes a massive difference in your daily life.
We make sure our high-quality coatings can handle those extreme temperature shifts without cracking or losing their beautiful luster.
Keeping your restored basin looking brand new is incredibly simple if you follow a few basic guidelines.
You must avoid abrasive scouring powders, steel wool, or harsh scrubbing pads that can scratch the glossy acrylic finish.
Instead, use liquid dish soap, a soft microfiber cloth, or a gentle spray cleaner to wipe down the surface after use.
Never leave wet bottles of shampoo, metal shaving cream cans, or damp washcloths sitting directly on the rim for long periods.
These items can trap moisture underneath them, which might eventually weaken the bond of the new coating over time.
Using a simple hanging shower caddy is an easy way to protect your investment while keeping your bathroom organized.
If you have a furry friend, please avoid washing them in your newly refinished tub because their sharp claws can scratch the glossy layer.
Placing a soft rubber mat without suction cups on the bottom during use can also protect the finish from accidental drops.
With just a tiny bit of love, your stunning new surface will look spectacular for up to a decade or even longer.

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 Herbster, 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.
