A dull or chipped tub in Riverside 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 hate looking at that stained basin in your bathroom every single morning? Well, replacing it costs a fortune and tears your whole house apart. Fortunately, our local team brings your old porcelain back to life for a fraction of the cost.
Now, you might wonder how this magic actually happens without buying a brand-new tub. This process uses heavy-duty bonding agents and shiny coatings to seal away cracks and ugly stains. Because we handle this right on your property, you save weeks of messy construction delays.
Today, you deserve a gorgeous bathroom that makes you smile when you walk inside. Plus, our technicians work fast to minimize any disruption to your normal daily routine.
When your old fixture looks dull and chalky, swapping it out feels like the only choice. However, ripping out cast iron creates massive holes in your walls and floors. This lets you skip the demolition dust entirely while keeping your original layout intact.
First, our crew arrives with specialized chemical strippers to strip away old peeling layers. Then, we scrub every single inch to remove soap scum and mineral deposits. Which means your fresh topcoat sticks securely for many years without bubbling up.
After prepping the area, we spray specialized primers that bite into the underlying material. This gives you a rock-solid foundation that resists future chipping and daily wear. On top of that, we apply multiple coats of high-gloss polyurethane finishes.
Living in Saint Clair County means dealing with hard water that destroys plumbing finishes fast. Because we know this area well, our mixtures fight local mineral deposits aggressively. This ensures your newly coated basin stays bright and shiny despite harsh well water.
With a median household income hovering around $56,167, nobody wants to waste money on overprices remodels. Therefore, our affordable service options fit comfortably inside almost any household budget. Which means you get luxury results without emptying your bank savings account.
Serving the 35135 ZIP code is our absolute favorite thing to do every week. Our small town population of about 2,500 people deserves honest and reliable contractors. That is why we treat every single home with the utmost respect and care.
| Feature | Full Replacement | Our Surface Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Time Required | One to Two Weeks | Just One Single Day |
| Mess Level | Extreme Dust and Debris | Clean and Contained |
| Average Cost | Thousands of Dollars | Massive Savings For You |
Looking at the table above makes the smart choice pretty obvious for most property owners. While ripping things out takes weeks, our crew finishes the job before dinner time. This lets you use your newly refreshed wash area almost immediately.
Furthermore, traditional remodeling leaves you with broken tiles and patch jobs on your walls. But our technique works directly around your existing walls without causing any damage. Which means zero extra costs for tile repair or new drywall installation.
Keeping your restored fixture looking brand-new requires just a little bit of basic daily maintenance. Since harsh scouring powders scratch the glossy topcoat, you should always use mild liquid soaps. This lets you clean away dirt easily without dulling that gorgeous mirror finish.
Additionally, dripping faucets can ruin a fresh coating faster than normal everyday usage. Fixing those leaky handles right away protects your investment from premature water staining and mineral rings. On top of that, you should never use rubber suction mats with tiny holes.
Those suction cups trap standing water underneath and soften the new bonding layers over time. Instead, simply place a soft cloth bath mat on the floor when you step inside. This keeps your surface safe and extends the lifespan of the material by several years.
Are you finally ready to ditch those embarrassing stains and deep scratches for good? Well, our friendly crew is standing by right now to answer all your questions. Because we live nearby, setting up an appointment takes just a couple of minutes.
Simply reach out to us today to schedule your complimentary zero-cost site visit. This lets you get an accurate price without any hidden fees or aggressive sales pressure. Which means you can make an informed decision at your own comfortable pace.
Let us help you transform that tired wash station into a stunning household centerpiece. You will love how much brighter your entire bathroom feels after our quick makeover. Contact our team right now and claim your free estimate before our schedule fills up.
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 Riverside, 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.
