A dull or chipped tub in Lavinia 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You look at your bathroom every single day and wonder if that stained, outdated basin will ever look clean again.

Fortunately, our team of local specialists can spray a fresh, durable liquid acrylic coating over your existing fixture to make it look brand new by tomorrow afternoon.
This budget-friendly process saves you thousands of dollars compared to ripping out plumbing and tearing up your beautiful floor tile.
Actually, we come right to your home in Beltrami County to prep, repair, and coat your worn-out setup in just a few hours.
Which means you can skip the dusty nightmare of a construction zone and get straight to enjoying a sparkling, smooth wash basin.
If you want to see how affordable this transformation is, we would love to give you a free estimate today.
Simply reach out to us and we will walk you through the options for your home near the scenic shores of Lake Bemidji.
Naturally, you deserve a bathroom that feels fresh, clean, and inviting without breaking the bank.
To start, many homeowners assume they have to buy a brand-new cast iron or fiberglass unit when the color gets ugly.
However, the actual structure of your old basin is probably still in great shape under those ugly stains and chips.
Our high-tech restoration method focuses on chemically bonding a new, glossy protective layer directly onto your existing fixture.
First, we meticulously clean the surface to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits.
Then, we repair any deep scratches or unsightly rust spots with a specialized waterproof filler.
This step ensures the final finish looks completely flat and flawless.
Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old porcelain and the new coating.
After that, we spray multiple layers of a high-performance acrylic topcoat using professional ventilation equipment to keep your indoor air clean.
Finally, the material cures into a rock-hard shield that looks identical to brand-new porcelain.
If you have ever priced out a full bathroom remodel, you know the numbers get scary very quickly.
Aside from buying the actual fixture, you have to pay for demolition, disposal fees, expensive plumbing rerouting, and new wall tiles.
By choosing our on-site surface renewal, you bypass all those extra expenses and save up to 70% of the total cost.
To give you a clear picture of how the two options compare, we put together a simple breakdown below:
| Comparison Factor | Full Replacement | Our Refinishing Process |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High (thousands of dollars) | Highly Affordable (hundreds of dollars) |
| Project Duration | 1 to 2 weeks of construction dust | Finished in less than 24 hours |
| Plumbing Changes | Often requires moving old pipes | No plumbing alterations needed |
| Lifespan | 15+ years for quality materials | 10 to 15 years with proper care |
As you can see, the benefits of restoring what you already own are hard to ignore.

Many homeowners are tempted to buy cheap DIY paint kits from the local hardware store.
Unfortunately, those rolled-on epoxy finishes almost always start peeling and yellowing within a few short months.
Our commercial-grade etching compounds and professional spray guns create a factory-smooth look that DIY kits simply cannot match.
We take our time during the preparation phase because we know a finish is only as good as the bond underneath.
This attention to detail prevents future bubbling and ensures your daily showers will not damage the new surface.
Investing in professional work now saves you the headache of stripping off a failed DIY project later.
Once our team completes the job, maintaining that brilliant shine is incredibly easy.
You can throw away those abrasive scrubbing powders and harsh bleach sprays for good.
Instead, a simple wipe down with a mild dish soap and a soft sponge will keep the surface gleaming.
This easy upkeep routine actually protects your investment and ensures the glaze lasts for more than a decade.
We also recommend avoiding bath mats with suction cups, as they can pull on the newly cured surface over time.
By following these basic tips, your bathroom will continue to impress guests for 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 around Lavinia, 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.

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.
