A dull or chipped tub in Severy 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 probably looks like a horror movie prop right now with all those ugly stains and scratches. Fortunately, you do not have to spend a fortune on a messy demolition project just to make your bathroom look clean again. Our local crew specializing in restoring worn-out tub surfaces can make that dingy basin shine like new in just one afternoon.
By choosing to refinish your existing setup, you save thousands of dollars that would otherwise go to pushy plumbers and tile demolishers. This smart shortcut keeps your original heavy-duty fixture right where it belongs while completely erasing decades of hard water deposits and chips. You get a glossy, fresh surface that feels incredibly smooth and looks absolutely stellar without the headache of a weeks-long remodel.
If you want to transform your space quickly, we are ready to drive out to your home and give you a detailed estimate at zero cost. Getting a professional assessment lets you plan your budget without any annoying surprises or hidden fees down the line. Let us take a look at how this awesome process works and why it makes so much sense for your home.
Most homeowners assume they have to tear out the entire wall just to get rid of an unsightly, faded bathing basin. However, doing that usually forces you to replace the surrounding tiles, the plumbing pipes, and even the flooring because everything is glued together. You end up with a massive pile of dusty debris and a bill that makes your jaw drop.
On top of that, modern replacement tubs are often made of flimsy plastic that bends when you step inside them. Your classic cast iron or heavy steel tub has amazing heat retention and character that new cheap models simply cannot match. Preserving that solid structure while updating its outer skin is simply the smartest move for your wallet and your peace of mind.
Our specialized resurfacing process bonds a tough, high-gloss liquid acrylic membrane directly onto your existing cast iron or porcelain model. This means you avoid the dust, the noise, and the endless parade of contractors walking through your clean house. You get to keep your high-quality fixture while enjoying a sparkling clean look that feels incredibly fresh.
| Project Factor | Full Replacement | Surface Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very high (often thousands) | Super budget-friendly |
| Time to Complete | One to two weeks of mess | Less than a single day |
| Durability | Depends on cheap modern plastic | Hard bonded coating on solid steel |
First, we clean the old basin with industrial strength cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and stubborn mineral deposits. After that, we apply a special etching agent that creates microscopic pores in the original porcelain or enamel. This critical step ensures our new coating grabs onto the old material like superglue so it never peels off later.
Next, we carefully repair any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks using a heavy-duty waterproof filler. Which means your finished fixture will have a perfectly flat, uniform surface without any weird lumps or divots. We take our time during this prep phase because even the most expensive glaze will fail if the underlying foundation is dirty.
Once the prep work is complete, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to block any overspray. Then, we use a professional spray system to apply multiple layers of an advanced aliphatic polyurethane coating. This high-tech material cures into an incredibly hard finish that easily resists scratches, impact, and hot water for years to come.
After letting the spray coats cure, we remove all the tape and clean up our workspace so your bathroom looks spotless. This lets you step back into a beautiful space that smells clean and looks like a million bucks. You will love how easy the new non-porous surface is to wipe down compared to the old rough porcelain.
We absolutely love traveling out to help folks in this quiet corner of the state where hard work still matters. Serving the wonderful community around the 67137 ZIP code allows us to bring high-end home improvements to a tight-knit population of about 207 residents. We know that families here watch their budgets closely, especially with a local median household income of around $40,417.
Because we operate locally in Severy, Kansas, we do not have to charge the crazy travel fees that big-city companies from hours away usually tack onto their bills. We treat every home with the utmost respect because you are our neighbor, not just a number on a spreadsheet. Supporting local trade services keeps our community strong and ensures you get reliable, friendly help whenever you need a quick repair.
Whether you live in a cozy historic home or a ranch-style house, we customize our service to fit your exact bathroom setup. Our team understands the unique mineral content of the local water supply, which helps us choose the best sealants to prevent premature staining. You can trust our local experience to deliver a finish that stands up to daily use without losing its luster.
Now that your fixture looks brand new, you want to keep it that way without spending hours scrubbing on your hands and knees. The main trick is to avoid abrasive cleaners like Ajax, Comet, or steel wool pads because they will scratch the shiny new acrylic layer. Instead, use mild dish soaps or specialized foaming cleansers along with a soft microfiber cloth or sponge.
This simple cleaning routine prevents soap scum buildup while preserving the glossy finish for up to a decade or even longer. On top of that, make sure you fix any dripping faucets quickly because constant water drips can eventually wear down any protective coating. Taking care of your restored surface is incredibly easy when you follow these basic, stress-free guidelines.
If you ever have questions about a specific cleaning product, you can always reach out to us for quick advice.

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 Severy, 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.
