All over Marathon 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You likely stare at that stained, chipped, or outdated basin every single morning. Upgrading your outdated bathroom fixtures does not have to cost a fortune or involve weeks of dusty demolition.
Bringing new life to your worn-out ceramic or porcelain soaking vessel remains the smartest way to boost your home value. You can achieve a brand new look in your private retreat by choosing a specialized surface renewal process instead of a full tear-out.
Tearing out a heavy, cast-iron tub creates a massive headache for any homeowner. You face broken tiles, damaged plumbing, and debris piled up in your hallway for days on end. Most people simply cannot deal with that much stress while trying to live their daily lives.
Instead, opting for a professional surface rejuvenation allows you to keep the existing structure intact. This saves you significant money while keeping your bathroom functional throughout the entire project. It really is a win-win situation for your wallet and your sanity.
Think of this service as a high-tech facelift for your wash basin. We start by cleaning every inch of the surface to remove soap scum, mineral deposits, and old caulk. A specialized bonding agent gets applied to ensure the new finish sticks perfectly for years to come.
After the prep work, we spray a high-durability acrylic urethane coating onto the surface. This creates a glossy, non-porous layer that feels just like brand new material. You get a smooth, clean finish that resists stains and makes cleaning much faster than before.
When you live in this specific part of the Badger State, you understand the value of reliable, friendly service. Our team knows the unique needs of residents in this county, where the median household income varies across the diverse ZIP codes. Whether you live in a rural farmstead or a modern suburban home, we bring the same level of dedication to every job.
Choosing a local service provider ensures you get prompt attention without any corporate runaround. We value our reputation among the neighbors and take pride in leaving your space better than we found it. You deserve a partner who respects your time and your property as much as you do.
You might notice dark rings around the drain that just won't scrub away no matter how hard you try. Deep scratches often trap dirt and bacteria, making your cleaning routine feel like a losing battle. Sometimes the finish just turns a weird shade of yellow or gray over time.
These aesthetic issues often hide deeper problems like porous surfaces that absorb moisture. If your tub looks dull, it probably is losing its protective layer, which leads to rust or underlying structural damage. Fixing these issues early prevents much larger headaches down the road.
Many folks still have those funky pink or avocado green basins from decades ago. You can easily switch to a modern, crisp white or a warm almond tone during our process. Changing the color completely transforms the mood of your entire bathroom.
A brighter, cleaner-looking tub makes the whole room feel larger and more inviting. This small change creates a sense of luxury without the cost of a full remodel. You will wonder why you waited so long to make the switch once you see the result.
Replacing a tub involves high labor costs, new plumbing, and expensive tile work. Our surface restoration service cuts those costs by at least seventy percent in most cases. You get the same aesthetic impact while keeping more cash in your savings account.
Quality work requires professional-grade materials that withstand daily moisture and heat. Our applied finish provides a robust shield that holds up against heavy use and standard cleaning agents. You enjoy a surface that maintains its luster for many years of reliable service.
You might worry about the smell or the mess associated with chemical coatings. We use advanced ventilation systems to keep your air clear while we work. Our technicians take great care to mask off all surrounding areas to protect your walls and fixtures from any overspray.
The process typically takes just one day to complete from start to finish. Once the coating cures, you can use your updated tub again after a short waiting period. It is honestly one of the most efficient home improvement projects you can possibly undertake.
You probably have questions about how this works for your specific situation. Every bathroom presents a unique challenge, from the size of the basin to the condition of the existing finish. We offer a completely free consultation where we walk you through the options.
We examine your current setup and give you an honest assessment of what we can achieve. You receive a clear, written estimate with no hidden fees or surprise charges. We believe in transparency so you can make the right choice for your family.
You should clear out your personal items and toiletries from the bathroom before we arrive. Removing shower curtains and rugs gives our team the space we need to work safely. Please ensure the faucet is not leaking significantly, as we need a dry surface to begin the application.
Taking these small steps helps us get the job done quickly and keeps your belongings safe. We always appreciate when homeowners make the space accessible so we can focus on the technical details. Your cooperation makes a huge difference in the quality of the end result.
Your home is likely your biggest asset, and keeping it maintained pays off in the long run. An updated, clean-looking bathroom makes a great impression on guests and potential buyers alike. Improving the condition of your bathtub signals that you care for your property.
We take great pride in our craft and use only the best resins and coatings available. You get a result that looks sophisticated and feels smooth to the touch every single day. We aim for nothing less than your total satisfaction with our work.
You might wonder if the new finish will peel or fade after a few months of heavy use. Proper preparation and high-quality materials prevent these common issues from happening. We stand behind our work because we know how to do it right the first time.
If you ever encounter a problem with the new finish, we are just a call away. We value our relationship with every client and want to ensure you feel happy with your choice. Trust in our experience to provide a durable, beautiful upgrade for your home.

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.
