A dull or chipped tub in Pine Brook Hill 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 look at your scratched tub with dread every single morning? Well, your bathroom needs a fast rescue from those ugly stains right now.
Truthfully, buying a brand new soaking basin costs a fortune and tears up your whole tile floor. Fortunately, you can hire a local pro to spray a fresh coating right over your old fixture. This lets you save thousands of dollars while getting a stunning finish that looks brand new.
Tearing out an old porcelain tub creates a giant mess in your house. Therefore, local homeowners in this peaceful mountain spot prefer a cleaner and cheaper makeover method. This clever trick preserves your original plumbing without any messy demolition work.
Years of scrubbing can ruin the shiny top layer of your porcelain. Consequently, soap scum and hard water minerals stick deeply into those tiny microscopic pores. Resurfacing seals everything shut so you can clean the surface with zero effort.
Replacing a built-in tub requires expensive plumbers and pricey tile setters. Meanwhile, spraying a fresh acrylic or polyurethane layer takes only a few hours. Because of that major difference, your wallet stays nice and fat.
Property values in Boulder County climb higher every single year. Naturally, upgrading your bathroom makes your home much more attractive to future buyers. This smart investment delivers a massive return when you decide to sell.
First, the friendly technician arrives at your door with heavy-duty masking gear. Next, they scrub away decades of grime using special industrial acids. This intense cleaning guarantees that the new liquid bonds permanently to the old material.
After scrubbing, the specialist fixes any annoying chips or deep cracks with industrial filler. Then, they apply a powerful bonding agent that grips the upcoming layers like super glue. Finally, they spray multiple coats of gleaming white finish using a high-pressure turbine system.
Working inside a cozy mountain home requires careful protection of your floors and walls. Because of this, technicians hang plastic barriers to keep any spraying mist completely contained. This thoughtful approach ensures your bedroom and hallway stay totally dust-free.
Fumes can smell pretty strong while the chemical bonds are curing properly. Therefore, opening a window or running an exhaust fan helps clear the air very quickly. Within twenty-four hours, the smell completely vanishes and your bathroom smells fresh again.
Classic bright white remains the absolute favorite choice for most local residents. However, you can also pick off-white or even soft almond tones to match your tiles. This customization lets you design a gorgeous sanctuary without changing your favorite vanity.
Matching your fixtures creates a wonderful sense of visual harmony in a tight space. Furthermore, a bright reflective surface bounces natural light around the room. This clever illusion makes a small bathroom feel much bigger than it actually is.
Harsh scouring powders will scratch up your gorgeous new high-gloss finish. Instead, you should always use gentle dish soap and a soft microfiber sponge. This simple routine keeps your resurfaced tub looking luxurious for many years.
Dropping heavy metal tools inside the basin can chip the cured coating over time. Fortunately, minor accidental dures can be patched up by a professional very easily. Treating your fixture with respect guarantees a long-lasting and durable lifespan.

| Project Type | Average Time | Cost Comparison |
|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | One to Two Weeks | Very Expensive |
| Surface Spraying | One Single Day | Highly Affordable |
People often wonder how long the newly sprayed surface actually lasts under daily use. Generally speaking, a properly maintained coating will easily give you ten to fifteen years of service. That impressive longevity matches the lifespan of a brand new factory-made fixture.
Can you use a non-slip mat inside the newly sprayed basin without ruining it? Yes, but you must remove the mat after every single shower to let the bottom dry. Trapped moisture can sometimes cause premature peeling if you leave the rubber suction cups attached forever.
You should clear out all personal items like shampoo bottles and bath toys beforehand. Additionally, keeping pets locked in another room ensures nobody steps on wet tape. This preparation lets our crew work efficiently from the moment we park in your driveway.
Are you ready to stop staring at those stubborn rust stains in your bathroom? Truly, transforming your worn out bathing fixture takes less time than a trip to the grocery store. Contact our local crew right now to claim your completely free quote.
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 Pine Brook Hill, 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.
