All over Monroe 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.
That ugly, stained basin in your bathroom probably makes you shudder every single morning. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to fix this eyesore. Our local team comes right to your home to restore that worn-out surface to a brilliant, glossy finish.
By choosing this smart, budget-friendly update, you save yourself days of loud construction noise and piles of dusty drywall debris. This means you get a gorgeous, sparkling wash area in just a matter of hours. If you want to transform your space today, we are ready to give you a free estimate on-site.
Many homeowners assume that a chipped or faded tub must go straight to the landfill. However, our specialized process coats your existing fixture with a high-performance polyurethane acrylic layer that looks incredibly slick. This method completely seals away old stains, microscopic cracks, and ugly color choices from past decades.
Because we use professional-grade bonding agents, the new finish fuses directly to the old porcelain or fiberglass. Which means your fixture gets a second life without the need for expensive plumbing rerouting or wall tearing. You get to keep your original layout while enjoying a surface that feels brand new to the touch.
To help you understand how this process stacks up against a full replacement, we created a quick comparison table below.
| Factor | Our Restoration Process | Full Replacement Project |
|---|---|---|
| Average Duration | 4 to 6 hours | 3 to 7 days |
| Mess and Dust | Very minimal, fully contained | High, drywall and tile debris |
| Total Cost | Very affordable | Extremely expensive |
On top of that, our process avoids the risk of matching old tile lines or breaking your existing floorboards. This lets you keep your hard-earned money in your wallet while still achieving a luxurious look. You will love how easy the glossy topcoat is to clean with basic soap and water.
We take pride in serving homeowners throughout the beautiful driftless area of the Badger State. Our service area covers a scenic region of about forty-six thousand residents who appreciate honest, high-quality craftsmanship. Whether you live in the bustling hub of Sparta or near the cranberry country of Tomah, we travel directly to your doorstep.
This means we understand the local water conditions, which often carry harsh minerals that stain older fixtures over time. Our heavy-duty coatings resist these tough mineral deposits and prevent yellowing, ensuring your investment stays bright. We regularly work in homes across ZIP codes like 54656 and 54660, bringing reliable service to every neighborhood.
Since the median household income in this part of Wisconsin sits around sixty-four thousand dollars, we know how vital it is to get real value for your money. Spending thousands on a simple bathroom update just does not make sense when a simpler option exists. Our affordable restoration gives you that premium feel without the stressful financial burden.
First, we clean the existing basin with special industrial acid solutions to strip away years of soap scum and body oils. This crucial step creates a microscopically rough texture that allows our bonding agents to grip the old surface tenaciously. Without this deep clean, the new coating would simply peel off after a few hot showers.
Next, we carefully repair any deep chips, rusted spots, or cracks using a durable waterproof filler. This ensures the final surface is completely flat and smooth before we even touch our spray guns. We take our time during this phase because a flawless finish depends entirely on the preparation work beneath it.
After sealing off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheeting, we set up a powerful exhaust fan to vent fumes outside. This step keeps your home safe and minimizes any chemical odors while we work our magic. Then, we apply a specialized molecular bonding agent that acts like a chemical superglue.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of our high-tech topcoat, using precision equipment to avoid any runs or uneven spots. This creates a thick, non-porous barrier that resists impact and looks just like factory-fired porcelain. Once we pack up our tools, you only have to wait a short curing period before enjoying your first soak.
To keep your restored fixture looking immaculate, you must avoid abrasive scrubbing powders and harsh bleach products. These gritty cleaners can dull the glossy shine over time and create tiny scratches where dirt can hide. Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or gentle foaming cleaners with a soft microfiber cloth.
This simple care routine ensures your gorgeous finish stays vibrant and slick for many years to come. Actually, treating your restored basin with a little respect can easily extend its lifespan by over a decade. It is a small habit that protects your investment and keeps your bathroom looking like a high-end spa.
If you ever notice a caulk line starting to wear out around the edges, we advise replacing it quickly. This prevents water from seeping behind the new coating and causing lift issues down the road. Taking care of these little details guarantees that your bathroom remains a source of pride rather than stress.

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.
