All over Juneau City and Borough, 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 look at your old porcelain basin and sigh with pure frustration every single morning? Well, your bathroom desperately needs a fresh surface treatment to bring back its original gloss. This amazing service lets you completely transform your worn bathing unit without ripping anything out of your walls.
Truthfully, replacing a heavy iron or acrylic tub costs a small fortune and creates a huge mess. However, our local team brings professional restoration directly to your home so you save both time and money. Plus, you get a gorgeous glossy finish that feels wonderful during your evening soak.
Years of scrubbing with harsh chemical cleaners eventually strip away the protective topcoat of your fixture. Consequently, the bare material underneath starts absorbing dirt, grime, and ugly rust stains that never seem to wash away. This happens because microscopic pores open up across the entire surface.
Naturally, hard water minerals in our region also leave behind stubborn crusty rings. Luckily, our advanced resurfacing method seals those pores permanently. This means you will enjoy a smooth non-porous shield that repels moisture and grime effortlessly.
Eventually, chips and deep scratches turn into breeding grounds for stubborn mold and mildew. Therefore, ignoring these early signs invites unwanted bacteria right into your daily hygiene routine. By addressing these flaws quickly, you protect your family and keep your bathroom looking pristine.
First off, our experienced technicians arrive at your property fully equipped to handle the entire project in just one day. They start by deep cleaning the porcelain or fiberglass to remove every trace of soap scum and body oils. This crucial preparation guarantees a rock-solid chemical bond for the new layers.
Next, they meticulously repair any chips, cracks, or deep gouges using industrial-grade fillers. Afterward, they apply a specialized bonding agent followed by multiple coats of high-performance acrylic urethane. This advanced spraying technique gives you a thick, durable shell that withstands daily heavy usage without peeling.
Finally, they cure the fresh finish using specialized heating units so you can use your tub almost immediately. On top of that, our crew cleans up the workspace completely before leaving your house. You simply walk into a sparkling bathroom and enjoy a totally renewed bathing experience.
Full bathroom demolition involves hiring plumbers, buying new fixtures, and repairing broken drywall. Meanwhile, our specialized coating process skips the structural teardown entirely. Which means your wallet stays happy while your home gets a massive visual upgrade.
Traditional replacement projects often drag on for weeks and disrupt your entire household schedule. In contrast, our skilled professionals finish the job in a single afternoon. Therefore, you avoid messy construction zones and get back to your normal routine fast.
Many homeowners wonder how spraying stacks up against buying plastic liners or brand-new porcelain basins. Plastic inserts often trap water underneath, leading to hidden mold and nasty odors. On the other hand, our sprayed-on liquid armor fuses directly with your existing tub.
Purchasing a new unit also requires taking out door frames and destroying surrounding tile work. However, our coating method preserves your current tile, plumbing, and vanity setup. This saves you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in hidden remodeling fees.
Living up north brings unique challenges due to fluctuating indoor temperatures and moisture levels. Condensation builds up quickly on cold bathroom walls during chilly winter months. Therefore, your tub surface takes a real beating from thermal expansion and humidity.
Fortunately, our heavy-duty coatings resist moisture damage and thermal shock with incredible strength. This protection stops peeling and bubbling before it ever starts. You truly deserve a bathing area that stands up to harsh northern weather without losing its shine.
Old, etched porcelain harbours millions of microscopic bacteria that resist standard household bleaching agents. When you smooth out those rough areas with a fresh coating, germs have nowhere to hide. This lets you maintain a truly sanitary environment for your entire family.
Slips and falls inside the bath remain a serious concern for people of all ages. Fortunately, we can integrate a discreet non-skid textured bottom during the spraying process. This smart addition gives your feet extra traction without sacrificing any visual appeal.
Maintaining your newly restored tub requires very little effort if you follow a few simple rules. Always use gentle, non-abrasive liquid cleaners instead of harsh scouring powders. This protects the glossy topcoat from premature dulling and scratching.
Wiping down the sides after your bath prevents soap buildup from hardening over time. Furthermore, fixing leaky faucets right away stops mineral deposits from staining your fresh surface. These small habits guarantee your investment looks stunning for many years to come.

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.
