A dull or chipped tub in Kidron 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.

By choosing this smart update, you get a gleaming, smooth finish that looks identical to a brand-new installation.
We believe in honest work and helping our neighbors get the home of their dreams without breaking the bank. That is why we offer a free estimate to inspect your setup and show you what is possible. Let us help you transform your space today with our professional resurfacing services.
Many folks assume that a chipped or discolored basin is a goner and belongs in a landfill. However, our specialized process bonds a high-performance coating directly onto your old cast iron, steel, or fiberglass unit. This creates a non-porous barrier that resists impact and prevents future staining. You will love how easy it is to wipe clean after we finish our work.
To give you a better idea of how this compares to a full replacement, we put together a simple breakdown.
| Factor | Our Restoration Service | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely high with plumbing fees |
| Time to Complete | Usually finished in just one day | Can take several days or weeks |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal with careful masking | Massive drywall and tile damage |
| Lifespan | 10 to 15 years with proper care | Long-lasting but high upfront cost |
This comparison shows why so many homeowners choose to restore rather than replace. On top of that, you avoid the risk of discovering hidden water damage behind your walls during a tear-out. We keep things simple, clean, and incredibly efficient for your peace of mind.
First, our skilled technicians meticulously clean the entire area to remove soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. This step is absolutely critical because the new coating needs a perfectly clean surface to adhere correctly. We use specialized eco-friendly cleaners that strip away decades of buildup in minutes.
Next, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots using a durable polyester filler. This ensures the final result is completely level and smooth to the touch. After sanding those patches flat, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a super-glue between the old surface and the new topcoat.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of a high-tech acrylic polymer coating using specialized HVLP equipment. This professional spraying technique prevents brush marks and leaves a brilliant, high-gloss shine. Once it cures, your fixture will boast incredible luxury and a clean look that lasts for years.
You might see cheap epoxy kits at your local home improvement store and feel tempted to try it yourself. Unfortunately, those retail products lack the industrial-strength bonding agents that professional crews use. They often peel, yellow, or blister within a few months, leaving you with a bigger mess than before.
Our commercial-grade materials require precise temperature controls and ventilation systems to apply safely and effectively. By hiring a local contractor, you get a warranty-backed finish and avoid inhaling harsh chemical fumes. We bring all the safety gear and professional tools to do the job right the first time.
We are proud to serve the hardworking residents of a lovely unincorporated community located in Wayne County, Ohio. This peaceful area, known for its deep Amish heritage and warm hospitality, has a population of about 922 residents who appreciate true value and honest labor. With a median household income of around $70,500, local families understand the importance of making smart, cost-effective home improvements.
Whether you live near the famous local hardware store or closer to the edges of ZIP code 44636, we are just a quick drive away. We understand the unique historic homes in this region, many of which feature beautiful, heavy cast-iron tubs that are worth preserving. Our team treats your home with the utmost respect, keeping our workspace tidy and cleaning up completely before we leave.
By keeping our services local, we can offer rapid scheduling and highly personalized customer care. You will not have to deal with automated phone systems or distant corporate offices when you work with us. We are your neighbors, and we stand behind every single project we complete in the area.
Once we complete the job, keeping your basin looking brand new is incredibly simple. You must avoid abrasive cleaners like Ajax, Comet, or steel wool pads, which will scratch the shiny new topcoat. Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap, non-abrasive aerosol foams, or a simple mixture of warm water and vinegar.
Additionally, you should never leave wet bath mats sitting inside the basin for extended periods. The suction cups can trap water underneath and eventually weaken the bond of the new finish. Simply hanging your mat up to dry after each use will preserve the shine for a decade or more.
If you follow these basic care guidelines, your restored fixture will remain bright and beautiful. This means you save time on chores and get to enjoy a sparkling clean bathroom every single day. It is the ultimate way to upgrade your home lifestyle without the typical renovation headaches.

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 Kidron, 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.
