All over Lyon County, 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.
You probably hate looking at that ugly, chipped, and outdated tub every single morning. Changing it sounds like a complete nightmare because ripping out plumbing costs a fortune. Luckily, a much easier option exists to make your washing basin look brand new again in just a few hours.
By choosing to refinish the surface of your existing fixture, you save thousands of dollars on demolition. Our local team specializes in applying a durable, glossy new coating directly over your old porcelain or fiberglass. This process instantly erases years of stains, scratches, and ugly colors without the headache of a major remodel.
We believe everyone deserves a sparkling clean space to wash up after a hard day of work. Because of this, we travel right to your home to deliver a gorgeous, factory-like shine that lasts for years. If you want to transform your space fast, we are ready to give you a free estimate today.
To start, let us talk about what this process actually involves for your home. Many people think they need to buy a whole new setup when their basin starts showing its age. However, our specialized process involves deep cleaning the old material, repairing any cracks, and spraying a highly durable liquid acrylic coating.
This method bonds chemically to your old fixture to create an incredibly tough, non-porous barrier. Which means you will never have to scrub dirty, stained grout lines or look at rusty spots again. On top of that, the entire process takes less than a single day to complete from start to finish.
Our skilled crew takes great pride in prepping the area perfectly so the new finish sticks forever. We mask off your walls, set up strong exhaust fans to keep your indoor air clean, and apply the bonding agents with absolute precision. You get a brilliant, sleek look that feels incredibly smooth to the touch.
If you choose to replace your old bathing fixture, you might end up waiting weeks for plumbers and tile workers. Conversely, opting for our surface restoration service keeps your home functional and clean. You avoid the loud hammering, the thick drywall dust, and the unexpected plumbing bills that always pop up during demolition.
To help you compare the two options, we built a quick comparison table below.
| Factor | Full Replacement | Our Refinishing Service |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very high (often thousands of dollars) | Extremely affordable and budget-friendly |
| Time to Complete | Several days or even weeks of mess | Usually finished in just 4 to 6 hours |
| Demolition Needed | Yes, tears up walls and plumbing | No, the fixture stays exactly where it is |
| Lifespan | Long-term | Up to 10-15 years with proper care |
As you can see, restoring the existing surface is the smartest choice for your wallet. This smart decision allows you to spend your hard-earned money on other fun home projects. Furthermore, you keep heavy, non-biodegradable materials out of our local landfills, which helps our beautiful desert environment stay clean.
We love serving the wonderful communities nestled throughout this unique part of the Silver State. Whether you live in the bustling valleys or the quieter historic towns, we bring our mobile restoration setup right to your doorstep. Our service area covers the entire county, which has a population of nearly sixty thousand hardworking residents.
Since the median household income here sits right around sixty-five thousand dollars, we know how important budget-friendly home improvements are. Nobody wants to blow their entire savings account on a single bathroom remodel. That is why our affordable surface renewal service is so popular among local families and property managers.
We regularly drive our service trucks out to various neighborhoods, including those within the ZIP codes of 89408, 89429, 89447, and 89430. We know the local water conditions can be tough on plumbing fixtures, causing nasty mineral deposits to build up over time. Our advanced coatings resist these harsh minerals, making your weekly cleaning chores a total breeze.
Sometimes, your old wash basin has deep chips or dark rust spots around the drain area. Do not worry about those ugly blemishes because our team has special repair compounds to fill them in before spraying. We sand down those rough patches until the entire surface is completely level and smooth.
This meticulous preparation ensures that the final shiny topcoat looks absolutely flawless. You will not be able to tell where the old damage used to be. Once we finish, the surface looks just like it did the day it was first installed in the showroom.
After we complete the job, we want your beautiful new finish to last for a very long time. To achieve this, you simply need to avoid harsh abrasive cleaners like steel wool or gritty scrubbing powders. A soft sponge and some mild dish soap are all you need to keep that gorgeous shine bright.
This simple maintenance routine saves you both time and physical effort when cleaning the bathroom. Because the new non-porous layer resists dirt, soap scum wipes away with almost zero elbow grease. You can spend your weekends relaxing instead of scrubbing on your hands and knees.
Working with us means you get friendly, down-to-earth service from people who truly care about quality craftsmanship. We do not cut corners, and we never use cheap, smelly DIY kits that peel off after a few months. Instead, we invest in commercial-grade materials that stand up to daily hot showers and baths.
We understand that letting contractors into your house can sometimes feel a bit stressful. Because of this, our polite technicians always treat your property with the utmost respect and clean up every bit of trash before leaving. We want you to feel completely satisfied and happy with the final transformation.
If you are ready to say goodbye to that ugly, stained basin, we make the next step incredibly easy. We offer completely free, no-obligation estimates so you know exactly what to expect before we ever start. Simply reach out to us today, and let us bring the beauty back to your bathroom!
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.
