Many homeowners confuse our specialized process with cheap DIY painting kits that peel off after a few hot showers. Actually, our method involves a highly technical chemical bonding process that fuses a new protective layer to your old cast iron or fiberglass basin. This creates a durable, high-gloss barrier that resists scratches and looks incredibly beautiful.
First, we meticulously clean the area to remove years of built-up soap scum, hard water deposits, and body oils. After that, we repair any deep chips, ugly rust spots, or hairline cracks using specialized marine-grade fillers. This preparation work ensures the new coating sticks permanently to the original substrate.
Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor for the new topcoat. Following this step, we spray several coats of a high-tech acrylic polymer using precision equipment. This gives you a seamless, non-porous finish that is super easy to clean and maintain.
| Feature of Our Service | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| No demolition required | Saves time and prevents dusty messes in your home |
| Non-porous acrylic topcoat | Resists mold, mildew, and stubborn stains |
| Fast curing time | You can use your shower again in just 24 hours |
Living in the Fairbanks North Star Borough means we appreciate practical solutions that do not break the bank. With a local median household income of around $79,301, spending five thousand dollars on a bathroom remodel is not always the smartest move. Our cost-effective surface renewal process lets you stretch your hard-earned dollars much further.
Moreover, our unique sub-arctic climate can make major plumbing overhauls risky during the colder months of the year. Keeping your existing plumbing intact prevents unexpected leaks and frozen pipe disasters when the temperature drops. This means you get peace of mind along with a gorgeous, modern-looking bathroom.
On top of that, we love serving our small community of 2,660 residents who value honest, high-quality craftsmanship. Whether you live near the Santa Claus House or closer to the outskirts of town, we treat your home with the utmost respect. We are proud to serve everyone throughout the 99705 ZIP code area with top-tier service.
Cheap hardware store kits often promise great results but usually end up looking like a bumpy, streaky mess. These retail paint products lack the industrial-strength bonding agents required to withstand daily hot water and harsh cleaning chemicals. You will likely end up spending more money to have us strip off the failed DIY paint job later...
Furthermore, the chemical fumes from commercial-grade coatings require professional ventilation setups to keep your family safe. Our experienced technicians use specialized exhaust systems that pull all the overspray and odors safely out of your home. This keeps your indoor air clean and allows you to relax while we do the hard work.
Moisture is the absolute worst enemy of any metal or fiberglass bathroom fixture. Once water gets under the original enamel, it creates dark, rusty patches that slowly eat away at the structure. Our team completely grinds down these bad spots to ensure the rust never returns to ruin your new finish.
Consequently, your restored fixture will feel incredibly smooth to the touch, just like a brand new piece of porcelain. You will no longer have to worry about snagging your skin or washcloths on rough, damaged patches. This brings a wonderful sense of physical ease back to your daily bath routine.
Maintaining your shiny new surface is incredibly simple when you use the right approach. You must avoid abrasive scouring powders or rough scrub sponges that can dull the glossy shine over time. Instead, we recommend using mild, liquid dish soaps or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners.
This simple cleaning routine keeps the protective barrier looking brand new for many years to come. Which means you will spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees and more time enjoying your beautiful home. A quick wipe with a microfiber cloth after each use is all it takes to maintain that deep luster.
Additionally, we suggest keeping dripping faucets repaired quickly to prevent mineral stains from forming on the new surface. Taking care of small plumbing issues protects your investment and ensures your bathroom stays in pristine condition. Your wallet will thank you for keeping things running smoothly.

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 North Pole, 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.
