All over Johnson 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.
Do you hate looking at that gross old bath fixture in your bathroom every single morning? Well, replacing it costs a fortune and tears up your floors, but our local crew fixes it right up for cheap. Let us give you a free estimate today so you can save your hard-earned cash.
Most folks living right here in Iowa struggle with outdated, stained bath units that ruin the whole vibe of the room. Fortunately, you can avoid a messy tear-out by using our specialized resurfacing technique instead. This smart choice lets you enjoy a brand-new look without spending weeks living in a noisy construction zone.
Beyond saving money, fixing your existing basin keeps heavy waste out of local landfills around the Hawkeye State. That means you get a gorgeous bathroom while helping the planet stay green. Plus, our skilled technicians work fast to finish the job before you even know they are there.
Buying a replacement unit forces you to pay for expensive demolition, plumbing, and wall repairs. Instead, our surface restoration process coats your worn basin with a durable acrylic finish that looks stunning. This handy method saves you thousands of dollars while giving your bathroom a fresh, modern touch.
Old cast iron and fiberglass basins trap dirt inside deep scratches that standard cleaning products just cannot reach. However, our specialized spraying method seals every single pore and flaw on the entire structure. This smooth layer lets you wipe away soap scum in seconds without breaking a sweat.
First off, our local technicians arrive right on time to inspect your damaged bathing enclosure thoroughly. Then, they thoroughly clean the surface to strip away years of grime, hard water stains, and old caulk. This careful prep work ensures the new bonding agent grips tightly for long-lasting results.
Next comes the actual spraying phase where we apply industrial-grade polymers straight onto your worn fixture. This heavy-duty coating creates a tough, shiny shell that resists chips, fading, and everyday wear. You will be amazed at how quickly an ugly old basin transforms into a shiny centerpiece.
After the spray cures, our crew cleans up the workspace so you can get back to your normal routine. This means you do not have to worry about cleaning up any lingering dust or debris. Within just twenty-four hours, your revitalized wash basin is totally ready for your daily evening soak.

Stubborn rust stains around the drain usually make your entire washing area look dirty and unkempt. Luckily, our resurfacing crew neutralizes those rusty spots permanently before spraying the fresh new topcoat. This clever step ensures the rust never bleeds through the brand-new finish later on.
Hairline cracks in fiberglass tubs can leak water into your subfloor and cause expensive structural damage over time. Thankfully, our experienced repair techs patch those weak spots solidly before applying the protective outer layer. This vital fix protects your home from hidden mold and rotting wood.

Whether you want a crisp brilliant white or a soft almond hue, we have plenty of gorgeous options available.

Proper upkeep keeps your freshly sprayed bathing enclosure looking amazing for many years to come. Since harsh abrasive cleaners can dull the shiny finish, you should always stick to mild, soapy water. This simple habit protects your investment and keeps the surface gleaming like new.
Using a soft sponge instead of a rough scouring pad prevents unnecessary scratches on the newly coated polymers. That means your cleanup routine stays fast and easy without damaging the protective shell. Taking care of your updated fixture ensures you enjoy years of trouble-free relaxation.

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.
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.
