A dull or chipped tub in Palmers 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.
Do you stare at your worn-out, stained tub and wish it looked brand new again? You can actually transform that tired bathroom centerpiece into a shiny, modern feature without the massive mess of a total demolition project.
Getting a pristine, smooth surface back on your aging bathing unit is easier than you probably think. This specialized restoration process fills in those deep scratches and covers up those stubborn yellow stains that just won't go away. By choosing this smart route, you save a boatload of cash while keeping your home looking sharp.
Many folks assume that if a tub looks bad, they have to rip it out and buy a brand new one. However, tearing out a heavy cast iron or fiberglass basin creates a mountain of debris and dust that lingers for weeks. You end up paying for a plumber, a contractor, and the hefty price of a brand new unit.
When you factor in the labor for re-tiling the walls and fixing the plumbing, the costs spiral out of control fast. On top of that, your bathroom becomes an unusable construction zone for a long time. Who really wants to deal with that kind of chaos when a simpler solution exists right under your nose?
You might wonder how a professional can make an old, crusty basin look like it just came off the assembly line. First, the team cleans the surface with industrial strength chemicals to strip away years of grime, soap scum, and hard water deposits. This deep cleaning step ensures that the new coating sticks perfectly for a long-lasting result.
After the deep clean, we carefully repair any chips, cracks, or pits using a durable filler that matches the base material. Once everything is smooth and level, a high-quality resin is applied using a special sprayer. This layer provides a glossy, easy-to-clean finish that restores the feeling of luxury in your space.
Living in a small community like the one in Saint Louis County means you appreciate personalized service from neighbors who actually care. With a population of only twenty people, word of mouth is everything around here. You deserve a contractor who shows up on time and respects your property throughout the entire job.
Choosing a local service provider helps keep the money in the regional economy while ensuring you get a quick response for any questions. Because we work right here in the ZIP code 55700 area, we can pop over for a quick look whenever you need a consultation. This proximity guarantees that your project stays on track without any annoying travel delays.

Starting the journey toward a beautiful bathroom is quite simple. First, you should reach out to get a free estimate so you know exactly what the job will cost. You will find that our pricing is very fair, especially when compared to the average household income in this part of Minnesota.
Once we schedule the work, we arrive with all the necessary gear to protect your floors and walls from any spray or dust. The whole process usually wraps up within a single day, meaning you won't be stuck without a shower for long. You walk away with a finish that feels silky and looks incredibly high-end.
After the project is complete, you will naturally want to keep that surface looking perfect for as long as possible. You should avoid using harsh, abrasive powders or steel wool pads, as these can scratch the new layer. Instead, stick to gentle, non-abrasive liquid cleaners that preserve the shine and smoothness of the coating.
Consistent care is the secret to getting many years of life out of your renewed fixture. You will notice that soap scum rinses off much easier now because the surface is no longer porous. This saves you time every week when you are scrubbing down the shower area after a long day.
Is the smell during the application process overwhelming? We use powerful ventilation fans to move air out of the room, which keeps things manageable while the coatings cure. You can expect a slight chemical scent, but it dissipates quite quickly once the final layer dries.
Does the new finish look like cheap plastic? Absolutely not, because our materials mimic the hard, cold feel of real porcelain or enamel. You get a result that mimics the posh appearance of a high-end designer bathroom at a fraction of the investment. It is essentially giving your home a face-lift without the plastic surgery price tag.
Maybe you inherited an avocado green tub from the previous owners and you just cannot stand the sight of it. Instead of living with it or spending thousands to change it, you can simply change the color during our visit. We can switch that dated shade to a clean, bright white that instantly opens up the room.
This color shift acts like a giant light switch for your bathroom, making it feel larger and much brighter. You will find that decorating around a clean white basin is infinitely easier than trying to match decor to a dated or discolored fixture. It really is the most efficient way to modernize your dwelling.
Waiting around only allows those small cracks to turn into bigger problems that might reach the subfloor. When water seeps into cracks, it can cause wood rot and hidden mold growth behind your wall tiles. By addressing the surface issues today, you protect the structural integrity of your home for the future.

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 Palmers, 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.
