A dull or chipped tub in Kiel 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.
You can instantly transform your dated, dingy washroom into a sparkling oasis today. Skip the dusty chaos of a complete remodel while saving thousands of hard-earned dollars. Our local team offers a free estimate to bring your worn-out fixtures back to life with a gorgeous, durable factory-like finish.
Let's face it because we all know that ripping out a cast iron basin is an absolute nightmare. That old beast is heavy, and removing it usually means smashing your beautiful wall tiles to pieces. On top of that, you have to pay plumbers a fortune just to hook up the new drain pipe.
Fortunately, our specialized surface refinishing process avoids all of that head-scratching frustration. We carefully prep your existing porcelain or fiberglass setup right where it sits. This means you get a glossy, easy-to-clean basin without the weeks of construction dust floating through your home.
By choosing this modern restoration method, you keep tons of heavy debris out of our local Wisconsin landfills. It is a win for your wallet and a win for the environment too. Plus, the entire process takes less than a single day from start to finish.
Maybe you saw those cheap paint-on coating kits at the big-box home improvement store. Trust me, those rolled-on epoxy products almost always peel off within a few months. They leave behind a bumpy, yellowed mess that looks way worse than the original stains you tried to hide.
Our professional crew uses industrial-grade bonding agents and high-tech spray equipment instead. This advanced molecular technology ensures the new topcoat fuses permanently with the original substrate. To give you a clear picture of how these options compare, take a look at the details below.
| Feature | Professional Resurfacing | Store-Bought DIY Kits | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Lifespan | 10 to 15 years | 6 months to a year | 20+ years |
| Project Duration | 3 to 5 hours | Entire weekend | 1 to 2 weeks |
| Total Mess Level | Very minimal | Moderate fumes | Extreme dust and noise |
| Overall Cost | Highly affordable | Cheap but temporary | Very expensive |
As you can see, our specialized service strikes the perfect balance between cost and longevity. You get a beautiful surface that withstands daily hot baths without bubbling or cracking. It is the ultimate shortcut to a fresh bathroom design.
First, our friendly technician thoroughly cleans the entire area with specialized solutions to strip away years of soap scum. This critical step removes every trace of body oils, hard water deposits, and ancient silicon caulk. Without this deep chemical wash, the new finish simply will not stick properly.
Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or unsightly cracks in the enamel. We apply a specialized etching agent to create microscopic pores in the smooth porcelain surface. This allows our exclusive primer to grip the old material with incredible strength.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of a high-gloss acrylic polymer coating over the prepped surface. This creates a brilliant, non-porous shield that resists stains and keeps its luster for years. After a short curing period, your fixture is ready for a relaxing bubble bath.
Old, worn-out surfaces are incredibly porous, which means they easily trap nasty mold, mildew, and bacteria. You can scrub until your arms ache, but those dark stains always seem to find a way back. Our fresh glaze seals off those microscopic hiding spots completely.
Consequently, your weekly cleaning routine becomes an absolute breeze. You only need a soft sponge and some mild dish soap to keep everything shining like new. No more harsh chemical fumes or endless scrubbing on your hands and knees.
Additionally, we can apply an optional slip-resistant texture to the bottom of your basin during the coating process. This helpful safety upgrade prevents dangerous slips and falls for kids and elderly family members alike. It brings immense peace of mind to your daily routine.

We arrive on time, protect your floors, and clean up every bit of our gear before we leave. Our goal is to make the entire experience completely stress-free for you.
So, instead of staring at that ugly, outdated pink or avocado green tub from decades ago, let us give it a modern look. You can choose a classic bright white or a soft almond tone to match your style. It is an easy way to boost your home value instantly.
With basic, proper care and cleaning, your newly coated basin will look gorgeous for over a decade. We recommend avoiding abrasive scouring powders and bleach to protect the glossy shine. Treating it like a brand-new car finish ensures it stays bright and beautiful.
We use heavy-duty exhaust fans and window ventilation systems during the spraying process to pull fumes outside. While you might notice a slight paint-like smell for a few hours, it dissipates very quickly once we finish. By the next day, your home will smell completely normal again.
Yes, we routinely repair severe rust spots around the drain and patch up deep structural cracks in fiberglass units. Our technicians use waterproof polyester fillers to rebuild those damaged areas before applying the final glaze. The end result is completely seamless and watertight.

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 Kiel, 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.
