A dull or chipped tub in Marble 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 can actually rescue that old, chipped tub without spending thousands on a full remodel.
Many homeowners think they need to rip out their entire bathing unit when the surface gets stained or dull.
Fortunately, a much faster and cheaper alternative exists to make your fixtures shine like new again.
Think about the sheer hassle of hiring a crew to demolish your bathroom walls just to remove a heavy piece of cast iron.
That old-school method creates a massive mess and leaves you without a working shower for weeks.
Instead, you can choose a smart restoration process that takes only a few hours and saves your sanity.
Our professional crew visits your home to prep, repair, and coat your existing tub with a high-performance finish.
This process bonds directly to the old porcelain or fiberglass, filling in deep scratches and eliminating ugly rust stains.
By selecting this smart route, you get a beautiful, glossy surface that looks identical to a brand-new showroom model.
First, we must look at how this process actually works to give you long-lasting results.
We do not just paint over the dirt, because that would peel off within a few weeks of use.
Our team uses industrial-strength cleaners to strip away old soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits.
Next, we repair any physical damage like chips, cracks, or deep gouges using specialized polyester fillers.
Once the surface is completely flat and smooth, we apply a chemical bonding agent to ensure the new layers stick permanently.
After that, we spray multiple coats of a high-tech acrylic urethane topcoat that cures into a rock-hard shield.
This meticulous technique requires professional spray equipment and proper ventilation masks to ensure a flawless and safe application.
When we finish, the resulting finish offers incredible durability and a brilliant shine that resists future staining.
You get a gorgeous bathroom upgrade without the massive price tag of a traditional renovation.

Living in a quiet mountain town means you value simple, efficient solutions that do not disrupt your peaceful lifestyle.
For example, transporting heavy construction materials up steep roads can be incredibly expensive and logistically difficult.
Choosing a local service provider who travels directly to your doorstep eliminates these transportation headaches entirely.
Our beautiful community in Gunnison County enjoys stunning nature but also experiences cold winters that make home projects tough.
With a median household income of $73,958, local residents appreciate smart home investments that maximize value without wasting cash.
We proudly serve the entire local area, including ZIP code 81642, bringing top-tier craftsmanship to our neighbors.
Since our local population is quite small, around 105 residents, word of mouth and high-quality work mean everything to us.
We treat every single home with the utmost respect, ensuring we leave your space cleaner than we found it.
You receive personalized, friendly service from a neighbor who genuinely cares about the beauty of your home.
To start, we carefully mask off your bathroom floors, walls, and fixtures to protect them from any overspray. Then, we apply a specialized acid paste that dissolves old mineral buildup and etches the original porcelain surface. This etching step is absolutely crucial because it creates microscopic pores for the new coating to grip onto securely.
If your tub was previously painted by a DIY kit, we must strip that old peeling layer off first.
Those cheap retail kits usually fail because they lack the professional-grade bonding agents we use daily.
We take our time during this prep phase because a clean foundation is the secret to a finish that lasts for years.
After cleaning, we inspect the entire surface under bright lights to locate every single hidden crack or chip. We then mix a waterproof resin filler to patch those damaged spots, sanding them down until they are perfectly flush. This step ensures that your completed fixture feels completely smooth to the touch, with no bumps or uneven patches.
Sometimes, older cast iron tubs develop severe rust around the drain area due to slow, unnoticed leaks.
We grind away that rust entirely and treat the bare metal with a converter to stop corrosion in its tracks.
This careful repair work prevents future leaks and preserves the structural integrity of your beloved bathing fixture.
Once the prep work is complete, we spray the chemical molecular bonding agent directly onto the dry surface. This agent acts like two-sided tape, chemically linking the old porcelain to our fresh, high-tech topcoat material. Then, we use an HVLP spray system to apply several thin, even coats of our premium acrylic urethane.
This sophisticated spraying technique prevents runs, drips, and orange-peel textures, leaving a glass-like finish behind.
The coating must cure for a specific period, after which we remove all the protective masking tape and paper.
You are left with a glittering, pristine tub that feels incredibly smooth and looks like it just came from the factory.
Many people do not realize that replacing a tub involves removing tiles, plumbing pipes, and sometimes even the door frame.
Which means a simple project can quickly spiral into a multi-week headache involving plumbers, tilers, and drywall contractors.
On top of that, you have to pay disposal fees to dump your heavy old tub into a local landfill.
Our restoration process avoids all of those extra expenses and keeps usable materials out of the dump.
You keep your original, high-quality cast iron or steel tub, which actually retains heat much better than modern plastic replacements.
This lets you enjoy a long, warm soak while knowing you made an environmentally conscious and financially smart decision.
While a brand-new budget tub might look cheap at the store, the installation labor costs are often shocking.
Our service provides a beautiful, durable alternative that gives you the exact same visual result for a fraction of the cost.
We focus on delivering high-end results that make you proud of your bathroom every time you walk inside.
To keep your renewed fixture looking spectacular, you must avoid abrasive cleaning powders and harsh scrubbing pads.
These rough tools can dull the shiny finish over time, making it harder to clean and more prone to trapping dirt.
Instead, you should use mild dish soaps, gentle liquid cleaners, and soft microfiber cloths to wipe the surface down.
This simple cleaning routine keeps your tub sparkling bright without requiring any hard scrubbing or muscle power on your part.
We also recommend wiping the surface dry after use to prevent hard water spots from forming, especially with our mountain mineral water.
Taking care of your new coating ensures it remains beautiful, smooth, and highly stain-resistant for many years to come.
If you ever have questions about specific cleaning products, our friendly team is always ready to offer helpful advice.

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 Marble, 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.
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.
