A dull or chipped tub in Salem 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.
You stare at that stained, chipped surface every single morning. This ugly sight really ruins your daily routine. Fortunately, our local team brings back the original shine of your bathing fixtures without the massive mess of a full demolition.
Which means you save thousands of dollars. We travel directly to your home in Kenosha County to evaluate the surface. Our friendly crew provides a totally free estimate on the spot so you know the exact cost.
Actually, many homeowners think they need a full replacement. That process takes forever and creates endless dust. By choosing our specialized resurfacing method, you get a beautiful finish in just one day.
This process is not just a quick coat of cheap paint. First, we carefully clean the old cast iron or acrylic structure with industrial prep solutions. This step removes decades of soap scum, body oils, and stubborn hard water deposits.
After that, we repair every single chip and deep scratch. We use premium waterproof fillers to make the surface perfectly flat. This attention to detail ensures the new bonding agents stick forever.
Next, we spray a high-tech molecular bonding agent. This chemical bridge fuses the old material with our new liquid acrylic topcoat. You get a thick, glossy protective layer that looks brand new.
Finally, we apply several coats of our premium aliphatic acrylic polyurethane. This specific compound resists impact and stays bright white for years. Your old, faded fixture suddenly looks like it just came from the showroom floor.
Let us look at the actual numbers to see what makes sense. Buying a cheap new basin might only cost a few hundred bucks at the local home improvement store. However, the hidden fees of installation will quickly drain your bank account.
For example, a plumber must rip out your old walls. This demolition often damages your beautiful floor tiles and surrounding drywall. On top of that, you have to pay for hauling away the heavy debris.
| Project Expense Type | Full Bathroom Demolition | Our Specialized Coating Service |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost Range | High ($3,000 - $6,000) | Very Low ($400 - $800) |
| Total Project Duration | One to two weeks | Four to eight hours |
| Mess and Dust Level | Extremely high and dusty | Very minimal and contained |
This table clearly shows how much money stays in your pocket. By choosing our local service, you avoid hiring multiple expensive contractors. We handle everything from prep to the final polish in a single afternoon.
Living in this beautiful corner of southeast Wisconsin means dealing with hard well water. This mineral-rich water loves to stain fiberglass and porcelain. Our special coatings resist these harsh minerals much better than standard factory finishes.
Because we live and work near the 53168 ZIP code, we arrive on time. Our team respects your home and keeps the work area extremely clean. We set up professional exhaust fans to pull all odors out of your house during the application.
Our local community has about 11,416 residents who value hard work and honest prices. With a median household income of around $89,000, local families appreciate smart home investments that build real equity. We deliver high-end results without the premium price tag.
Now, you must treat your fresh finish with some basic respect. Avoid using abrasive bleach powders or harsh scrubbing pads. These scratchy items will dull the shiny gloss over time.
Instead, we recommend using mild dish soaps or gentle spray cleaners. This simple routine keeps the surface incredibly slick and easy to wipe down. Which means you spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees.
Also, try to avoid leaving wet shampoo bottles directly on the ledge. Over many months, trapped water under bottles can weaken the bond. Simple hanging racks keep your bathing area dry and pristine.
Actually, with just basic care, this new finish lasts up to fifteen years. Our durable coatings stand up to daily hot showers and playful kids. You get peace of mind and a sparkling clean space every single day.
First, our technician walks through your front door with a smile. We carefully mask off your bathroom floors, walls, and vanity to protect your belongings. We treat your property like it belongs to our own grandmother.
Then, we set up our ventilation system through the nearest window. This step is crucial because it keeps your indoor air clean and safe. We then begin the meticulous etching process to prepare the old porcelain.
Once the prep work is complete, we spray the professional-grade coatings. We use top-tier spray guns to ensure a perfectly smooth finish without any runs or bumps. After a few hours of curing time, we remove all our tape and leave your home spotless.

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 Salem, 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.

The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
