Looking to fix your old, ugly washing basin without spending thousands? Smart homeowners in eastern Colorado know that refinishing is the fastest way to save money... Getting a free estimate today will show you just how cheap a full bathroom fix up can be!
Maybe you walked into your bathroom this morning and hated looking at those nasty stains. Truth is, old cast iron or acrylic units get scratched up real bad after years of scrubbing with harsh chemicals. Naturally, these ugly marks collect soap scum and nasty grime that just will not scrub out no matter how hard you rub...
Actually, replacing the whole entire thing is an absolute nightmare that wrecks your floor and wall tiles. Plus, calling a plumber to rip out heavy stuff costs way too much money these days! Fortunately, refinishing the existing surface gives you a fresh shiny surface without any mess or wall damage.
First off, we scrub the entire unit with super strong industrial cleaners to remove all oils. Next, we put down a special chemical acid etch that bites right into the hard glossy glaze. Because without this deep etching step, the new finish will just peel off in sticky sheets later on!
Then, my team repairs every single chip and small crack using tough waterproof filler compounds. Furthermore, we sand it completely flat so you can not even feel where the old damage used to be... Finally, we spray multiple thick layers of high-grade synthetic resin that cures into a rock hard shell.
Basically, this high-tech spray stuff is not just regular paint you buy at the hardware shop down the road. Instead, it is a professional liquid porcelain bond that locks directly onto metal or fiberglass structures. Therefore, you get a bright clean shine that lasts for years and resists hot bath water.
Honestly, taking care of it after we finish up is ridiculously easy for any busy family. For instance, you just wipe it clean with simple dish soap and a soft wet cloth... Never use abrasive scratchy pads again because they ruin the fresh sheen pretty quick!
Let us look at the real numbers because nobody likes wasting their hard earned cash on expensive remodels. Buying a brand new tub seems cheap at the big box store until you realize the hidden installation labor costs. After that, you have to pay haulers just to take away your heavy broken metal mess!
Alternatively, resurfacing keeps your hard earned money right inside your checking account where it belongs. To help you see the huge difference, check out this simple breakdown of costs below...
| Project Option | Average Total Cost | Work Duration | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Complete Replacement Tear-Out | Very High Expenses | 3 to 7 Days | Huge Dust and Debris |
| Professional Surface Refinishing | Super Low Budget | 4 to 6 Hours | Zero Structural Destruction |
Clearly, choosing the restoration path keeps your home clean while saving heaps of cash. On top of that, you get to use your shiny quiet wash space again in just twenty-four short hours!
Living out in this rural farming community means you need honest tradesmen who show up on time. Our service covers every single property across the entire local county region, including local farmhouses and town homes. Notably, this area sits near the Nebraska border with around 4,500 hardworking folks living throughout ZIP codes like 80737, 80744, and 80751.
In addition, local families here earn a median household income around fifty-five thousand dollars a year. That means every single dollar counts when you fix up your home property on a realistic budget! So, why throw money away on expensive contractors when our quick local squad does the exact same job for cheap?
Maybe your old basin has turned a weird yellow color from old iron rust in the water pipes. Or perhaps a heavy shampoo bottle dropped and chipped a huge chunk out of the bottom surface... Surprisingly, we fix all these exact issues without removing a single piece of plumbing from your wall!
Likewise, worn out surfaces lose their top shiny coat, leaving a rough bottom that feels like coarse sandpaper on your feet. Thankfully, our liquid coating smooths out every single rough patch until the floor feels soft and slick again. Consequently, your daily bath time feels like a top luxury retreat instead of a dingy chore!
Often, old caulk lines turn black with gross mold that smells funky every time you take a shower. Before we spray our top coat, we strip away every scrap of old rotted rubber caulk... After the spray dries completely, we lay down a fresh bead of pure white mildew resistant silicone sealant.
Meanwhile, rust spots around the drain hole get completely sealed off so they stop eating your metal. Otherwise, that nasty orange rust keeps spreading under the finish until your whole bottom rusts through completely! So, catching rust early saves you thousands in future structural water damage.
Now, you might see those tiny DIY refinishing kits sitting on the shelves at your local store for cheap. But honestly, those cheap store kits usually turn into a sticky flaking nightmare after just three quick weeks! Indeed, rolling on cheap paint leaves ugly brush marks and thick runs all over your slick basin walls.
Besides, real spray equipment uses high pressure air systems to lay down an ultra even coat of liquid enamel. Real pros also wear specialized vapor gas masks and set up heavy exhaust fans in your window... This pulls out all strong chemical fumes so your living room stays clean and fresh throughout the day!
First off, when you contact us today for your estimate, we ask a few basic questions about your current setup. Then, a friendly local technician comes directly to your driveway to inspect the condition of your wash area... We measure the exact square footage and check for any deep chips or weird surface reactions.
Next, we hand you a clear written estimate with no hidden fees or surprise upcharges at the end. After that, you decide if the price fits your personal home budget without any annoying sales pressure from us! It really is that easy and simple to get your bathroom looking like new again.
Once we finish spraying your fresh smooth coat, caring for it is simple enough for anyone in your house. Always use bleach-free gentle foam sprays or regular soap to wash away daily body oils after bathing... Avoid dropping heavy tools or sharp metal toys onto the bottom floor so you do not chip the glaze.
Furthermore, fix any dripping faucets right away so standing water does not sit continuously on the fresh resin layer. If you take good care of it, this hard protective coat stays bright and smooth for well over a decade! That is unbeatable value for any house owner looking to upgrade their home comfort without breaking the bank.
Stop staring at that ugly stained washing basin every time you go into your personal bathroom! Taking action today means you get a fast accurate quote without spending a single cent out of your pocket.

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.
