A dull or chipped tub in New Post 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.
Your old tub looks downright depressing right now. Maybe it has some ugly stains from decades of hard water or a weird color from the nineteen seventies.

You might wonder how we actually make an old cast iron or fiberglass basin look like it just came from the showroom. Well, it is not just a simple coat of paint from the local hardware store. First, we use specialized bonding agents that chemically fuse the new material to your old tub. This creates an incredibly strong barrier against water, soap scum, and daily wear. On top of that, the entire process takes only a few hours instead of the weeks a full remodel requires.
| Project Phase | What We Do | Your Concrete Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Acid etching and repair of chips | Smooth surface with no leaks |
| Bonding | Apply industrial primer coat | No peeling or bubbling later |
| Finishing | Spray durable acrylic topcoat | Glossy shine that is easy to clean |
To make sure you get the best results, we repair any deep scratches or rust spots before we even think about spraying. Because of this careful preparation, your finished fixture will look absolutely flawless. Honestly, most of your guests will think you bought a brand new unit. This lets you enjoy a clean, modern bathroom without the massive headache of hiring plumbers and drywall contractors.
Replacing a built-in tub is a absolute nightmare that usually involves ripping out your beautiful wall tiles. When you pull out that old heavy basin, you often find hidden water damage or mold behind the walls too. Consequently, a simple swap quickly turns into a giant money pit. By choosing our specialized spray-on restoration service, you keep your original layout and avoid all that unnecessary chaos.
Furthermore, older fixtures are often made of heavy cast iron which holds heat much better than cheap modern plastic. Keeping that quality piece of history in your home is highly satisfying. However, you do not have to live with the outdated avocado green or dusty pink finish anymore. We apply a fresh, clean white or modern almond coating that instantly brightens up your entire space. This simple upgrade immediately boosts your daily joy when getting ready in the morning.
Once we finish our work, you need to treat the new surface with a little bit of care. For instance, you should never use abrasive scrubbing powders or harsh bleach on the new glaze. Instead, simple dish soap or mild spray cleaners will keep it shining like a diamond. Which means you will spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees during your weekend chores.
Additionally, we always recommend using a soft bath mat without suction cups on the bottom. Those little plastic cups can actually pull at the new finish if you rip them up too quickly. Following these easy guidelines ensures your beautiful glossy basin stays pristine for up to a decade. If you are ready to make the switch, we are happy to provide a completely free estimate for your home.
We take pride in serving our tiny community of around 274 residents nestled right here in the beautiful 54843 ZIP code area. Since the median household income around here is about $43,438, we know that every single dollar of your home improvement budget matters.

Living near the gorgeous Chippewa Flowage in New Post, Wisconsin, means we all appreciate honest, hard work and durable results. Our weather gets incredibly cold in the winter, which can sometimes make plumbing repairs extra tricky and expensive. By avoiding a full demolition, you do not have to worry about frozen pipes or open walls during our chilly months. We bring all our professional ventilation gear and tools directly to your cabin or home to get the job done safely.
Before we arrive at your house, we ask that you remove all personal items like shampoo bottles and curtains from the bathroom. Then, our technician sets up a powerful exhaust fan in the window to draw out any fumes while we spray. After that, we carefully mask off your floors, walls, and vanity with heavy paper to protect them from overspray. This level of care ensures your home remains perfectly clean throughout the entire process.
Once the prep work is complete, we apply the high-tech coatings using professional HVLP spray equipment. This process creates a super smooth, factory-like finish that you simply cannot achieve with a brush or roller. Finally, we clean up our gear and leave you with clear instructions on when you can start using your beautiful new shower again. Typically, you only have to wait about twenty-four hours before taking a relaxing soak in your transformed space.

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 New Post, 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.
