A dull or chipped tub in Ottine 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.

Many homeowners do not realize that the original structure of their old tub is often much stronger than cheap modern plastic replacements.
By choosing to recoat the existing surface, you keep that sturdy foundation while upgrading the exterior layer.
This process applies a specialized, durable coating that bonds directly with the old porcelain or fiberglass.
Our skilled technicians meticulously clean, repair, and prep your fixture before applying any new materials.
We fix every single chip, scratch, and rust spot so the final coat looks perfectly smooth.
This attention to detail ensures that the fresh layer will not peel or blister after a few hot baths.
You might worry about harsh chemical smells during the application.
To solve this, we use advanced exhaust systems to pull fumes out of your home while we work.
This setup means you can breathe easily while we transform your bathroom into a bright space.
Choosing to renew your fixture saves you thousands of dollars on labor and materials.
On top of that, you avoid the risk of discovering hidden water damage behind your bathroom walls during demolition.
We complete the entire job in just a few hours, which means your daily routine suffers almost zero disruption.
To help you compare the paths, we created a handy table showing the differences between these options.
| Factor | Our Refinishing Method | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely high with plumbing fees |
| Time Required | Completed in 4 to 6 hours | Often takes 3 to 7 days of messy work |
| Durability | Lasts for many years with simple care | Depends on the quality of the new tub |
| Mess & Dust | Minimal, contained to the workspace | Major debris, drywall dust, and noise |
As you can see, our restoration path offers an incredibly smart alternative.
This choice allows you to spend your hard-earned money on other home improvements instead.
Plus, your newly coated surface is incredibly easy to clean because it lacks the porous texture of worn porcelain.
First, we protect your bathroom floor, walls, and vanity with heavy drop cloths.
Next, we strip away old DIY paint coats and clean the surface with specialized industrial acid-free cleaners.
This step removes decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits that would prevent proper bonding.
After the deep clean, we apply a proprietary bonding agent to the dry surface.
This crucial chemical primer acts like a microscopic anchor for the shiny topcoat.
Without this step, the new finish would fail quickly, which is why cheap store-bought kits never last.
Then, we spray several layers of high-tech acrylic urethane using professional HVLP equipment.
This technique creates a uniform, factory-like glaze that resists chipping and fading.
Once cured, the surface offers incredible strength and a deep, luxurious gloss that mimics real porcelain.

Many of the homes in this countryside feature gorgeous, deep soaking tubs that are worth preserving.
We take immense pride in saving these classic fixtures from the local landfill while giving you a pristine place to soak.
You might see cheap epoxy kits at the local hardware store and think about doing this yourself.
However, those roll-on paints lack the chemical bonding power of professional-grade coatings.
They often turn yellow within months, leave brush marks, and start peeling off in large sheets during your shower.
Fixing a failed DIY attempt actually costs more money because we have to strip off that sticky mess first.
Our team has the safety gear, ventilation fans, and spray guns required for a glassy, uniform finish.
Investing in our professional service saves you from a ruined weekend and a ruined tub.
Maintaining your restored fixture is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, worn-out one.
You simply need to avoid abrasive cleaners like bleach powders or rough scrubbing pads that scratch the gloss.
Instead, use mild liquid dish soap and a soft sponge to wipe down the surface after use.
This simple habit keeps the protective glaze looking shiny and bright for up to fifteen years.
We also recommend fixing leaky faucets quickly to prevent constant water dripping from wearing down the finish prematurely.
These basic steps protect your investment and keep your bathroom looking like a luxury spa.
Now is the perfect time to stop ignoring that ugly, stained basin in 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 around Ottine, 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.
