A dull or chipped tub in Rock Island 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.

This budget friendly method saves you thousands of dollars compared to a full remodel. By choosing to apply a fresh high performance coating, you avoid the dusty chaos of tearing out walls. Our team brings everything needed to complete this transformation in just one day.
If you want to see how affordable this upgrade is, we provide a free estimate right at your doorstep. This convenient option lets you plan your budget without any hidden surprises. We love helping neighbors fall in love with their homes all over again.
First, we thoroughly clean the old surface to remove decades of soap scum and mineral deposits. This critical preparation step ensures that the new materials bond perfectly to the underlying structure. Any lingering grime would ruin the final look, so we take our time to get it spotless.
Next, we repair any deep chips or rusty spots using specialized industrial fillers. This meticulous patching process creates a completely flat surface that feels as smooth as brand new porcelain. You will not even be able to tell where the old damage used to be.
Finally, we apply a premium liquid acrylic finish using a professional spray system. This high tech application technique delivers a glossy look that mimics factory fresh enamel. After a short curing period, your fixture is ready for daily use and looks absolutely stunning.
| Feature of Our Service | Concrete Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| One-day completion time | You get your bathroom back immediately without weeks of construction noise. |
| No wall demolition required | This saves your existing tiling and prevents messy drywall repairs. |

On top of these great perks, you also protect the environment by keeping heavy cast iron out of landfills. This eco-conscious decision reduces waste while giving you a gorgeous space. It is truly a win-win situation for both your wallet and the planet.
Which means you can spend your saved money on other fun home improvement projects. Imagine upgrading your vanity or buying those luxury towels you always wanted. A smart choice here opens up so many possibilities for the rest of your house.
Moreover, cleaning becomes a total breeze because the new non-porous finish repels dirt naturally. You will no longer need to scrub on your hands and knees with harsh chemical bleaches. A simple wipe with a mild soap keeps everything sparkling clean.
Because we live and work nearby, we understand the unique plumbing challenges of older Midwestern homes. Our beautiful community along the Mississippi River features gorgeous historic properties with classic fixtures that deserve to be preserved. We take pride in keeping these vintage treasures functional and bright.
Did you know that our local area boasts a population of 39,018 hard-working folks? Many families in Rock Island, Illinois, enjoy a comfortable lifestyle here in Rock Island County, where the median household income supports smart home investments. We regularly serve neighbors across ZIP codes like 61201, 61204, and 61299 with pride and dedication.
Consequently, we treat your home with the utmost respect, just like we would treat our own grandmother's house. We mask off your floors and use heavy duty exhaust fans to keep your indoor air clean during the application. You can relax knowing that your property is in safe, careful hands.
Naturally, you might wonder how long this glossy new finish will actually last under daily family use. With proper care, our premium coatings easily endure for over a decade of warm baths and quick showers. We use industrial-grade bonding agents that prevent peeling, cracking, or bubbling over time.
However, you must avoid using abrasive scouring pads or gritty cleaners on the restored surface. These rough materials can dull the shine and create microscopic scratches where dirt likes to hide. Stick to gentle liquid cleaners to preserve that bright, reflective sheen.
This simple maintenance routine ensures that your investment continues to look brand new year after year. We even provide a detailed care guide after we finish the job so you know exactly what to do. Taking care of your upgraded bathroom has never been simpler.
Sometimes, moisture gets under the old finish and creates ugly orange rust spots around the drain. Our skilled technicians specialize in grinding away this corrosion down to the bare metal before sealing it. This stops the rust from spreading and chewing through your fixture.
After that, we apply a rust-inhibiting primer that acts as a shield against future moisture invasion. This extra layer of security ensures that the orange stains do not bleed through your beautiful new coat. You get peace of mind knowing the problem is solved correctly.
Perhaps you are worried that the new finish will look out of place next to your vintage tiles. We offer a variety of color options, from classic arctic white to warm almond tones. This variety allows you to match your existing color scheme perfectly without any awkward contrasts.
This customization lets you create a cohesive design that feels intentional and well-planned. Your guests will assume you spent a fortune on a custom designer bathroom. You do not have to settle for a dull, mismatched space anymore.
Let us look at the cold hard facts of a traditional bathroom tear-out. Hiring plumbers, tilers, and trash haulers can easily cost you thousands of dollars before the new tub even arrives. Our localized restoration service costs only a small fraction of that massive expense.
In addition, you avoid the risk of discovering hidden mold or electrical issues behind your old walls. Those unexpected surprises can double your renovation budget in the blink of an eye. Refinishing keeps the project contained, predictable, and highly affordable.
This cost-effective approach is perfect for landlords, home flippers, and budget-conscious homeowners alike. You maximize your property value without draining your savings account. It is the smartest way to upgrade your space.
Now is the perfect time to take action and transform your dingy bathroom into a bright oasis. You do not have to tolerate that ugly, hard-to-clean surface for another single day. Our friendly team is ready to visit your home and inspect your fixture face-to-face.

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 Rock Island, 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.
