All over Pawnee County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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.

First of all, let us talk about how this smart process actually works. Instead of ripping out your plumbing and damaging your walls, we apply a high-tech synthetic porcelain coating directly over your current setup. This specialized chemical bond creates a completely non-porous layer that resists future stains and makes cleaning an absolute breeze.
On top of that, the entire process takes less than a day from start to finish. Which means you can avoid having construction workers trampling through your house for weeks on end. You will be able to use your beautiful, refreshed shower area again in just a couple of days.
Because we care about quality, we always use premium bonding agents to ensure the new finish does not peel or chip over time. This lets you enjoy a bright, clean wash area that feels incredibly smooth to the touch. It is the ultimate way to upgrade your daily routine without breaking the bank.
Since we live and work right here in the beautiful heartland of the Sunflower State, we understand the unique needs of local homeowners. We proudly serve the entire local region, which includes a wonderful community of around 5,800 residents who value hard work and honest prices. Our service area covers several historic communities, including Larned, which serves as the county seat, and we regularly visit homes across ZIP codes like 67550 and 67572.
To give you some perspective, the median household income in this agricultural hub is about $52,000, which means every dollar you save on home renovations can go toward other important family needs. By choosing our cost-effective restoration service instead of a full replacement, you keep your hard-earned money in your pocket. We love helping our neighbors upgrade their homes while keeping their hard-earned cash where it belongs.
Additionally, our friendly crew always arrives on time and treats your property with the utmost respect. We clean up after ourselves so thoroughly that you will never even know we were there, except for your sparkling bathroom, of course. We take immense pride in our craftsmanship and love seeing the shocked look on our customers' faces when they see the final transformation.
To help you compare your options, we put together this handy comparison table:
| Feature | Our Restoration Service | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden plumbing costs |
| Time to Complete | Only 4 to 6 hours of on-site work | Several days or weeks of chaotic demolition |
| Mess and Dust | Virtually none, we keep it clean | Massive amounts of drywall dust and plaster debris |
| Durability | Lasts for many years with proper care | Long-lasting but requires constant maintenance |
First, we meticulously clean the surface with specialized industrial cleaners to remove all soap scum, mineral deposits, and body oils. This crucial step ensures that our new coating sticks perfectly to the old substrate. If we find any deep chips or cracks, we fill them with a heavy-duty waterproof polyester putty and sand them completely flat.
Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically fuses the new topcoat to the original material. This is where the real science happens, creating a permanent bond that prevents moisture from getting underneath. After that, we use a professional spray system to apply multiple layers of our high-gloss acrylic urethane coating.
Finally, we let the material cure and perform a detailed inspection to make sure the finish is flawless. This careful attention to detail is why our finished projects look so incredibly glossy and inviting. You get a sleek, modern look that brings a sense of peaceful relaxation back to your bathing space.
Naturally, we want to be completely honest with you about what this service can and cannot do. On the positive side, it is incredibly fast, cheap, and saves perfectly good cast iron fixtures from ending up in our local Kansas landfills. It also seals up old, porous grout lines if we are coating your surrounding tiles at the same time, which stops mold growth in its tracks.
However, you must remember that this is a premium surface coating, not a brand-new chunk of solid stone. This means you cannot use harsh abrasive cleaners like steel wool or gritty scrubbing powders on it anymore. If you treat it gently and use mild dish soap, your new surface will stay beautiful for up to a decade.
Now, another thing to keep in mind is the slight chemical smell during the application process. While we use powerful exhaust fans to vent the fumes outside, a faint odor might linger for a few hours after we leave. This is completely normal and disappears quickly once the coating cures fully.
To keep your wash basin looking shiny and bright, we recommend using a squeegee after each shower to prevent water spots. This simple habit takes ten seconds but keeps mineral buildup from dulling the gorgeous shine. For weekly cleaning, a quick wipe down with a soft microfiber cloth and a gentle liquid cleaner is all you need.
On top of that, please avoid dropping heavy, sharp objects onto the newly coated surface. While the urethane is extremely tough, a heavy wrench or a dropped ceramic bottle could potentially chip the finish. If an accident does happen, don't panic, because we can easily perform quick touch-ups to fix minor dings.
So, why spend another day tolerating that dingy, stained, or embarrassingly outdated color scheme? Our local team is ready to drive out to your home in Pawnee County, Kansas, to give you a detailed assessment. We will explain all your color options and answer any questions you might have about the process.
This lets you make an informed decision without any pressure or sales gimmicks. Which means you can finally get the beautiful, sparkling bathroom you deserve at a price you can actually afford. Give us a call today to request your completely free, no-obligation estimate!
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, 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.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
