A dull or chipped tub in Madrid 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 homeowners confuse this specialized process with cheap DIY paint kits that peel off after a few hot showers. Actually, our professional method involves a chemical bonding process that fuses a durable new topcoat to your existing cast iron, steel, or fiberglass basin. This creates a non-porous barrier that resists mold, mildew, and stubborn hard water stains for years to come.
To give you a clearer picture of how this works compared to other options, look at this quick comparison table:
| Feature | Our Restoration Service | Complete Replacement | Cheap DIY Kits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable | Extremely expensive | Cheap but temporary |
| Time to Complete | Under 5 hours | Several days or weeks | A weekend of frustration |
| Durability | 10 to 15 years | Lifetime | Fails in a few months |
| Mess Factor | Virtually none | Tons of dust and debris | Sticky mess and fumes |
Naturally, we take pride in using premium bonding agents that the average person cannot buy at a local hardware store. This commercial-grade chemistry ensures your new glossy finish will not chip or discolor when you run hot baths. Which means you get a factory-like shine that stands up to daily scrubbing without breaking a sweat.
On top of that, we pay close attention to the unique needs of homes in Boone County. Whether you live in a historic property with a heavy clawfoot piece or a newer ranch house with a standard alcove setup, our technique works beautifully. We adapt our process to match the exact material of your fixture for maximum longevity.
Imagine living in a cozy community of about 2,584 people where neighbors appreciate hard work and smart financial choices. With a local median household income of around $64,046, spending five grand on a bathroom remodel just does not make sense when a better option exists. Our affordable services keep your hard-earned money in your pocket while delivering gorgeous, high-end results.
If you reside in the 50156 ZIP code area, you know how hard water from local wells can leave nasty orange rust rings on your fixtures. This specialized coating resists those mineral deposits, making your weekly cleaning chore incredibly easy. You will spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemicals.
Besides saving your back, this service keeps heavy, non-biodegradable cast iron and fiberglass out of our local Iowa landfills. Choosing to restore rather than discard is a fantastic way to protect the environment while upgrading your property. It is a win-win situation for your wallet and the planet.
First, we strip away all old soap scum, body oils, and silicone caulking that have built up over decades of use. Next, we apply a specialized acid etch to porous surfaces to create micro-grooves that help the new glaze stick. This critical step ensures the new materials lock onto the old surface with an unbreakable grip.
After that, we carefully repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots with a waterproof polyester filler. Once sanded flat, the old damaged area disappears completely under our prep work. This meticulous attention to detail is what separates a professional job from a messy amateur attempt.
Now, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to shield your walls and vanity from overspray. Then, we use a specialized ventilation system to pull fumes out of your house while we spray. We apply a molecular bonding agent followed by multiple coats of high-gloss acrylic urethane.
This advanced sprayer technique creates an incredibly smooth, glass-like finish that looks identical to brand new porcelain. After a short curing period, we apply fresh silicone caulk around the edges to seal out moisture. You can use your beautiful, refreshed basin in as little as twenty-four hours.
Think about the sheer frustration of hiring plumbers, drywallers, and tile setters just to fix one ugly fixture. By opting for our specialized service, you deal with just one friendly technician who finishes the entire job in a single afternoon. This streamlined process saves your sanity and keeps your home peaceful.
Furthermore, our modern finishes offer incredible slip resistance and a warm, pleasant feel against your skin. You will enjoy a luxurious, spa-like experience right in your own home without paying premium resort prices. It adds a touch of pure satisfaction to your morning routine.
If you plan to sell your home soon, a bright, clean bathroom instantly boosts your property value and attracts picky buyers. Nobody wants to buy a house with a dingy, stained washing area that looks like a petri dish. A quick cosmetic upgrade makes your whole listing look well-maintained and modern.
To keep your restored fixture looking spectacular, you must throw away your abrasive scouring powders and scratchy scrub sponges. Instead, simply wipe down the surface with a mild, non-abrasive liquid soap and a soft microfiber cloth. This gentle care preserves the brilliant luster for a decade or more.
Additionally, you should avoid leaving wet washcloths or dripping bottles of shampoo sitting on the ledge for days. Standing water can eventually weaken the bond over time if left unchecked. A quick wipe-down after your shower keeps everything looking pristine and dry.
Lastly, never use suction cup bath mats on your newly glazed surface because pulling them up can damage the coating. If you need extra traction, just ask us about our built-in slip-resistant textures during your application. We can easily apply a safe, permanent texture right into the glaze for you.
Are you ready to stop squinting at those ugly stains and finally enjoy a gorgeous, sparkling washroom again? We make the entire process incredibly easy by offering completely free, no-obligation quotes to our local neighbors.
We will look at your fixture, explain your color options, and give you an honest price with absolutely no hidden fees. There is zero pressure, just friendly advice from folks who care about quality craftsmanship.

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 Madrid, 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.
