A dull or chipped tub in Sandy Hills 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.

Looking for a fast, gorgeous update for your tired bathroom fixture without breaking your bank account? You found the right spot to get a free estimate and save big bucks on your home remodeling project today!
When you look at that stained plastic or cast iron basin every morning, you probably feel like hitting it with a hammer. Replacing a worn basin actually costs a fortune because you have to tear out tile walls, hire expensive plumbers, and mess up your entire home for weeks. Luckily, applying a fresh polymer coating over your original surface fixes every ugly chip while saving you tons of cash.
After doing hundreds of home fixes over the years, I know how crazy expensive full bathroom overhauls get when contractors start ripping down walls. That is why recoating your existing fixture directly in place makes so much sense for smart homeowners who want high quality without the stress. Furthermore, the entire process takes less than a single day, which means you can take a warm, relaxing soak by tomorrow night without waiting on endless construction delays.
Instead of living with gross stains or dropping five grand on a replacement, a fresh spray finish instantly transforms your outdated space into a luxury retreat. Additionally, the fresh topcoat seals up old grout lines and prevents hidden water damage from destroying your subfloor underneath. Naturally, this smart upgrade adds huge value to your house while keeping your hard-earned money right where it belongs in your wallet.
Maybe you think ripping out that gross 1970s avocado green tub is your only real choice right now. However, demolition creates massive piles of dusty trash, crazy noise, and huge bills that grow bigger every time a worker finds another hidden problem behind your walls. Choosing to resurface the original heavy porcelain keeping its bones intact saves you time, money, and tons of messy cleanup.
| Upgrade Choice | Time Needed | Mess Factor | Cost Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | 1 to 2 Weeks | Extremely High | Very Low |
| Surface Coating | 4 to 6 Hours | Almost None |
Consequently, you get a bright glossy finish that looks brand new for a tiny fraction of what local plumbers charge just to haul away your old heavy unit. On top of that, older basins were actually manufactured with much thicker, sturdier metal than the cheap plastic tubs sold at big box stores today. Therefore, saving your original unit gives you better durable strength while completely erasing all those embarrassing rust spots and deep scratches forever.
Besides, taking out an old fixture often damages the surrounding ceramic wall tiles, which forces you to buy expensive replacement materials you never planned for. By spraying a brand new acrylic coating directly over the existing shape, you protect your wall trim and keep your original floor intact. Honestly, it is the slickest hack in home improvement because you get instant beauty without suffering through dusty chaos.
First, a friendly technician shows up at your door with professional tools, protective mask gear, and heavy exhaust fans to keep your indoor air completely fresh. Next, they scrub down every square inch of your basin using industrial acid cleaners to strip away old soap scum, body oils, and mineral scale. Indeed, this deep cleaning step is super critical because new paint will never stick to a dirty surface.
Then, any deep cracks, rust pits, or missing enamel chunks get filled in with specialized filler and sanded totally smooth to match the original curve. After that, we apply an advanced chemical bonding agent that chemically welds the top layer right into the underlying porcelain base. As a result, the new finish will never chip off or peel away when you fill the tub with hot water later.
Finally, multiple fine coats of high-grade aliphatic polyurethane are applied using an ultra-fine spray gun for a mirror-like finish. What this means for you is a silky slick wash surface that resists mold, repels dirt, and wipes clean with simple mild soap. Plus, the fast curing formula hardens rapidly, meaning your main bathroom stays out of commission for only one single afternoon.
Living right here in Salt Lake County means dealing with super hard water that leaves ugly white calcium rings around your drain. Over time, those harsh mineral deposits eat away the factory glaze, leaving a rough texture that traps hair, grime, and nasty bacteria. Thankfully, our custom synthetic resin coatings are engineered specifically to stand up against high mineral content without dulling or losing their shiny luster.
Whether you live near the mountains or down in the valley close to the 84070 or 84094 zip code areas, keeping your home looking awesome builds real equity. With a local median household income around $101,000 across our community of nearly 90,000 residents, local homeowners know the true value of smart, cost-effective house updates. Investing in smart cosmetic surface repairs keeps your property looking rich without blowing your annual family budget.
Furthermore, our local climate brings frozen winters and hot summers, which causes houses to settle and expand slightly throughout the seasons. Cheap DIY paint kits from the hardware store crack easily because they lack the flexibility needed to handle subtle thermal expansion. In contrast, our professional grade materials flex naturally with temperature changes, ensuring your beautiful glossy basin stays totally flawless year after year.
To be honest, those cheap rolled-on epoxy kits you buy at the store usually turn into a giant nightmare after just a few weeks. DIY paint often drips, leaves ugly brush marks, and starts peeling off in huge gross sheets the first time you wash your kids. Save yourself the headache because fixing a failed DIY attempt actually costs more money than doing it right the very first time.
With basic care and regular cleaning using non-abrasive sprays, your shiny new coated surface easily lasts ten to fifteen years or even longer. Never use harsh bleach or scouring pads on your fresh finish, since smooth gloss surfaces do not need heavy scrubbing anyway. Simply wipe it down with a damp washcloth and a gentle bathroom cleaner to preserve that high-end shine effortlessly.
Imagine walking into your master bath every morning and seeing a bright, gleaming white basin that looks like a high-end luxury resort spa. Instead of cringing at ugly yellow stains, you get to start your workday enjoying a squeaky clean space that sparkles under your lighting. To achieve this, you do not need to spend tens of thousands of dollars on full structural remodel permits or wait months for tile workers.
Beyond just looking fantastic, smooth non-porous coatings eliminate microscopic pores where gross mildew and dangerous bacteria love to hide and multiply fast. Which means your family breathes cleaner indoor air while spending way less time scrubing on hands and knees with strong chemical cleaners. That gives you back precious weekend hours to relax and enjoy life instead of playing endless maid to an old worn-out bathroom.
Additionally, if you plan on renting out a room or selling your property soon, an ugly fixture immediately turns off buyers and drops your house value. Applying a shiny, smooth surface update makes your entire bathroom look freshly renovated for pennies on the dollar during home inspections. Prospective buyers love seeing a immaculate, clean bathing area, making this quick weekend fix one of the highest return projects you can pick.

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 Sandy Hills, 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.
