A dull or chipped tub in Logan 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.

Many folks assume they have to throw away a durable old cast iron tub just because the color is outdated or the finish looks dull. Actually, our specialized system involves stripping away old DIY paint jobs and acid-etching the original porcelain to create a porous grip. This critical preparation step ensures our premium bonding agents lock onto the old structure forever.
After we prep the area, we use professional spray equipment to apply several layers of high-tech acrylic urethane. This advanced material cures into a rock-hard shell that resists chips and stains for many years to come. You will love how easy it is to wipe down the smooth, non-porous finish after we pack up our gear.
| Project Phase | What We Do | Your Direct Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Preparation | Acid etching and deep cleaning | Ensures maximum coating adhesion |
| Repairing Damage | Filling chips, cracks, and rust spots | Prevents future water leaks and rust |
| Acrylic Spraying | Applying multiple coats of urethane | Gives a brilliant, shiny, smooth finish |
Now, you might wonder how long this beautiful transformation will actually last. With basic, non-abrasive maintenance, your newly coated bathing area will stay bright and beautiful for over a decade. Which means you can spend your hard-earned dollars on other home improvement projects instead of wasting money on expensive plumbers.
Replacing a built-in wash basin is a total nightmare because it usually involves breaking tiles and moving heavy plaster walls. Because our process happens entirely on-site, we finish the entire job in just a single afternoon. This keeps your home clean and prevents your daily routine from being disrupted by loud construction crews.
On top of that, older homes often feature gorgeous, heavy-duty cast iron fixtures that retain heat much better than modern plastic replacements. By keeping your original heavy tub and letting us restore its outer layer, you preserve the classic character of your property. This also keeps heavy, non-biodegradable materials out of our local landfills, making it an eco-friendly choice.
We pride ourselves on helping neighbors in our small community of 1,592 residents preserve their beautiful homes. Whether you live near the Boyer River or closer to the heart of Logan, Iowa, our mobile service unit will bring all the necessary tools right to your driveway. We understand the unique needs of local homeowners in the 51546 ZIP code area who value honest, high-quality craftsmanship.
With a local median household income of $61,293, we know that local families want to get the absolute most value out of every single dollar they spend on home maintenance. Spending thousands on a bathroom remodel just does not make sense when you can get a virtually identical look for a fraction of the price. Our affordable surface restoration services fit comfortably into almost any family budget.
To make things even better, we offer completely transparent pricing with absolutely no hidden fees or surprise costs. When you request a visitation from us, we inspect your bathroom setup and explain every option available to you. This helpful, pressure-free approach ensures you make the right decision for your household.
But do not just take our word for it, because our beautiful portfolio of completed projects speaks for itself. We regularly fix embarrassing rust stains, chips from dropped shampoo bottles, and ugly discolored surfaces that refuse to get clean. Let us turn your old, yellowed wash basin into a clean, bright sanctuary that you can actually show off to guests.
Naturally, applying high-performance coatings requires some strong chemicals, but we take safety and comfort very seriously. We always set up industrial exhaust fans and window ventilation systems to pull odors and overspray out of your living space. This leaves your home smelling fresh and clean shortly after we pack up our tools.
Additionally, we carefully mask off all your bathroom tiles, floors, and vanity cabinets with protective paper and plastic sheets. This protective barrier guarantees that not a single drop of our specialized coating lands anywhere else in your bathroom. Our neat, respectful technicians always clean up after themselves, leaving your space cleaner than we found it.
Once our premium topcoat cures completely, caring for your shiny new surface is incredibly simple. You must avoid using harsh abrasive powders, bleach, or scratchy scrub sponges that can dull the glossy finish over time. Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or gentle liquid cleaners with a soft microfiber cloth.
This simple cleaning routine keeps the protective barrier intact and prevents soap scum from building up. Which means you will spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees during your weekend chores. It really is that easy to maintain a beautiful, sparkling bathroom year after year.
There is absolutely no reason to live with an embarrassing, stained bathroom fixture for another day. Our local team is ready to provide you with the fast, affordable, and high-quality solution you deserve. We make the entire process stress-free from the moment you first contact us to the final reveal of your sparkling tub.

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 Logan, 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.
