A dull or chipped tub in Palmer 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 wake up every morning and stare at that dated, stained tub. It looks so dingy that you do not even want to step inside it anymore. Replacing it seems like a giant nightmare because tearing out old cast iron or acrylic ruins your walls and costs a fortune. Fortunately, our local crew visits your home to spray a fresh, shiny protective coating over your existing basin. This smart choice saves you thousands of dollars while making the whole space look incredibly clean and modern again.
This simple process completely transforms your washroom in just a few hours. We carefully prep the surface, fix any ugly chips, and apply a high-tech synthetic finish that cures into a rock-solid glaze. You get a gorgeous, glossy wash basin that looks like it just came from the showroom floor. Best of all, we offer a free estimate to help you plan this upgrade with zero pressure.
Our skilled team brings new life to worn-out fixtures all over Grundy County. Since we live and work nearby, we understand how important honest work is to our neighbors. You do not have to live with a stained, scratched wash tub another day. Let us do the hard work while you sit back and enjoy the savings.
Many folks believe that a dull, stained basin is ready for the landfill. However, the structure of these heavy fixtures is usually in perfectly good shape. What actually wears down is the original baked-on finish, which gets porous and traps dirt over the decades. Our specialized restoration technique solves this exact issue by bonding a tough new layer directly to the old material.
First, we clean the area with industrial-strength solutions to strip away soap scum and old body oils. After that, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a super-glue for the new coating. Next, we spray several coats of a high-gloss acrylic polyurethane topcoat. This advanced material creates a non-porous barrier that resists stains and makes cleaning incredibly easy for you.
| The Old Way (Full Replacement) | Our Smart Way (Surface Restoration) |
|---|---|
| Costs thousands of dollars in plumbing and tile work | Costs a small fraction of replacement expenses |
| Takes days or weeks of loud construction and mess | Completed in just a single afternoon |
| Requires permits and tearing open your walls | No demolition or structural changes needed |
This table clearly shows why so many homeowners choose to restore instead of replace. You avoid the headache of dusty drywall, broken tiles, and expensive plumbing bills. Plus, you keep heavy old fixtures out of our local landfills, which helps our beautiful environment. It is a win-win situation for your wallet and your peace of mind.
You might see cheap paint kits at the hardware store and think about tackling this job yourself. Honestly, those retail products do not contain the professional bonding agents needed for a long-lasting chemical weld. They often peel off in big sheets after just a few hot showers, leaving you with a bigger mess than before. Our commercial-grade equipment and specialized ventilation systems ensure a flawless, factory-like finish that stands up to daily use.
We take pride in serving our tight-knit community of 674 people in this beautiful part of the state. With a median household income of $28,523 in our area, we know that every hard-earned dollar counts. That is why we focus on delivering top-tier quality that stretches your home improvement budget further. We treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping our work area clean and leaving no mess behind.
Our professional crew brings specialized respirators to keep your indoor air safe and clean during the application. We exhaust all fumes directly outside through your windows so your family can breathe easily. After we pack up our tools, you just have to wait a day or two for the surface to cure. Then, you can jump right in and enjoy a warm, relaxing soak in your beautiful tub.
Maintaining your shiny new finish is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, worn-out surface. Since the new coating is completely non-porous, dirt and soap residue cannot cling to it easily. You only need a mild, non-abrasive liquid cleaner and a soft sponge to keep it sparkling. This means you can finally throw away those harsh bleach powders and scratchy scrubbing pads.
Avoiding harsh chemicals preserves the gorgeous shine of your restored fixture for many years to come. We also recommend keeping pet claws out of the basin and avoiding heavy, sharp objects that could chip the surface. If you follow these simple guidelines, your renewed wash tub will look brand new for a very long time. We always share these helpful tips with you during our visit so you get the most value out of our service.

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 Palmer, 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.
