A dull or chipped tub in Redwood 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.
Your old tub looks pretty rough these days. Between the ugly stains and that weird scratchy feeling on the bottom, taking a bath feels more like a chore than a relaxing escape. Surface restoration for your bath solves this headache overnight. You get a sparkling, clean tub without spending thousands on a massive remodeling project.
Most folks think they need to rip out the entire unit when things get ugly. Honestly, that job turns into a total nightmare. You end up breaking tiles, dealing with dusty drywall, and paying plumbers a fortune. Our local crew handles everything right in place. We make that worn-out fixture look brand new again while saving your hard-earned cash.
Getting started is incredibly simple too. We come right to your home to check out the situation first. After a quick look, we give you a completely free estimate. This means you know the exact cost before we even touch a tool.
Let us talk about the real cost of buying a new tub. The cheap plastic ones at the big box store might seem like a bargain. However, you quickly realize they do not fit your old plumbing. Then you have to pay for disposal fees just to get rid of the heavy cast iron monster currently sitting in your bathroom. It is a massive headache that drags on for weeks.
Choosing to coat the existing surface saves you from all that chaos. We use specialized chemical agents to clean, prep, and bond a fresh, durable topcoat right over the old porcelain or fiberglass. This process seals up microscopic pores where dirt and nasty bacteria love to hide. Consequently, your daily cleanup routine becomes a total breeze.
Our method delivers that high-gloss shine you actually want. It feels incredibly smooth to the touch, which brings back that premium sense of cozy relaxation. Plus, you can use your shower again in just a couple of days. That is way better than waiting weeks for contractors to finish tearing up your floorboards.
First, we clean the area with industrial-strength solutions to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This step is super important because even a tiny bit of grease can ruin the final look. Next, we repair any deep chips or rusty spots using a tough waterproof filler. We make sure the foundation is completely flat and stable.
After that, we apply a special molecular bonding agent. This chemical primer acts like a super-strong glue between the old enamel and our new coating. Finally, we spray multiple layers of an advanced acrylic polymer finish. This high-tech material cures into a rock-hard shield that resists chips and scratches for years to come.
| The Comparison | Buying a New Tub | Our Surface Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very high (plumbing, tile, disposal) | Super affordable and budget-friendly |
| Time to Complete | Usually 3 to 7 days of loud construction | Done in just a few hours |
| Mess and Dust | Massive drywall dust and broken tile debris | Virtually zero mess left behind |
| Lifespan | Depends on material quality | Easily lasts 10 to 15 years with proper care |
You might wonder if your specific fixture is too far gone for this treatment. Honestly, we work miracles on rusted metal, cracked fiberglass, and faded acrylic units. Even if your tub is a funky shade of 1970s green, we can coat it in a bright, modern white. You will honestly forget that old color was ever there.
Living in this lovely part of Josephine County means appreciating the quiet comfort of our tight-knit neighborhood. With a local population of around 2,707 residents, news travels fast, so we make sure our work is always top-notch. We understand the value of a dollar here, especially with our local median household income sitting around $47,412. We keep our prices fair so every family can enjoy a clean home.
Our service truck regularly travels through the local ZIP codes to help neighbors update their older homes. Whether you live near the winding river or closer to the highway, we arrive on time and ready to work. We treat your property with the exact same respect we show our own homes. This means we seal off the bathroom with plastic sheets and run exhaust fans to keep odors out of your living room.
We love helping folks upgrade their bathrooms without breaking the bank. Because we live nearby, we can easily pop over to your place for a quick assessment. This local connection ensures you get personalized service instead of dealing with a cold, nameless corporation. We take pride in seeing our neighbors smile when they see the transformation.
Once we pack up our gear, you want to keep that shine looking beautiful forever. The secret lies in avoiding abrasive cleaners that scratch the glossy surface. Bleach and harsh scrubbing powders will slowly wear down the protective top layer over time. Instead, you should use mild dish soap or gentle liquid cleaners with a soft sponge.
Dropping heavy tools or metal toys in the basin can still chip the coating if you are not careful. If you have active kids or pets, simply placing a soft rubber mat down during bath time offers great protection. Just remember to remove the mat afterward so water does not get trapped underneath. These simple habits keep your fixture looking pristine for over a decade.
Should you ever get a minor scratch down the road, do not panic. We can easily touch up small spots without having to redo the entire basin. This flexibility gives you peace of mind knowing your investment is safe. We always stand behind our craft and help you keep things looking great.
Before our technician arrives, we ask that you clear out all personal items from the bathroom. This means removing shampoos, towels, shower curtains, and toothbrushes from the work zone. Having a clear space lets us focus on prepping the surface without any delays. It also keeps your personal belongings safe from any overspray or dust.
Please make sure your bathroom plumbing is in working order too. A leaky faucet can drip water onto our fresh coating before it fully cures, which ruins the smooth finish. Fixing any drips beforehand ensures a flawless result. Once those quick steps are done, you can sit back and let us do the heavy lifting.
Our friendly technician will walk you through the final inspection once the job is complete. We explain the drying times and care instructions so you feel totally confident. After we pack up, the only thing we leave behind is a gorgeous, gleaming bathroom. You will love showing off the results to your family and friends.
Now is the perfect time to finally fix that eyesore in your bathroom. You do not have to live with a stained, dingy tub anymore. Our affordable, efficient process gives you the beautiful bathroom you deserve without the stress of remodeling. We make the entire experience smooth, simple, and surprisingly affordable.
We invite you to reach out to us for a friendly chat about your project. Our team is ready to answer all your questions and find a time to visit your home. Remember, our on-site evaluations are completely free of charge and come with zero pressure. Let us help you fall in love with your home all over again.
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 Redwood, 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.
