A dull or chipped tub in Shungnak 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.
Are you tired of staring at that stained washing basin in your bathroom? Fortunately, you can fix that tired porcelain easily right now.
That old bath fixture needs help. Fixing it saves you cash. Let us talk about transforming your washing basin.
Technicians spray a fresh shield over your basin. This lets you enjoy a brand new look without demolition. Naturally, bad wear gets fixed first.
Workers clean the enamel deeply. Then they apply strong bonding agents. Which means your finish stays put for decades.
Swapping a tub costs a small fortune. Meanwhile, resurfacing takes just one afternoon. Therefore, your wallet stays happy.
Plumbing tear-outs create massive messes. Alternatively, coating keeps your walls intact. This brings you peace of mind immediately.
Winters hit hard around ZIP codes 99773. Homes need durable finishes that handle cold snaps. Consequently, our industrial-grade polymers flex with temperature swings.
With a median household income hovering near $38,333, saving money matters. People want smart upgrades. Truly, this service stretches every dollar.
Our small town houses about 288 residents. Everyone knows everyone here. Because of that, quality work travels fast by word of mouth.
Shampoo bottles must leave the ledges. Furthermore, bath mats should go into storage. This gives workers full access to the tub.
Shower curtains need removal too. Afterward, sweep the surrounding floor. Dust ruins a smooth spray job.
Fumes happen during the chemical application. Yet, strong fans clear the air quickly. This keeps your household breathing safely.
Masks protect the workers from vapors. Meanwhile, you can relax in another room. Your safety remains a top priority.
| Method | Time Required | Approximate Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | One week | Very high |
| Acrylic Liners | Two days | Moderate |
| Surface Coating | Few hours | Low |
Looking at the chart helps you decide. Clearly, coating wins on speed. On top of that, it beats high replacement fees.
Liners sometimes trap water underneath. However, sprayed finishes bond directly to the core. This stops mold before it starts.
Acid washes open up microscopic pores. Thus, the primer grabs the tub tightly. Skipping this step spells disaster.
Workers rinse the basin thoroughly. Then they dry every square inch. Moisture ruins the chemical bond.
Special guns lay down a slick layer. This gives you a high-gloss finish. Ultimately, your tub looks fresh from the showroom.
Curing takes twenty-four hours usually. Afterward, you can fill the basin again. Enjoy your relaxing soak tonight.
Some folks think the paint peels off instantly. But modern urethanes stick like glue. Hence, you get lasting durability.
Others believe the finish smells forever. Actually, odors fade within a single day. This lets you use your bathroom normally soon.
Cheap kits from hardware stores fail quickly. Professional spraying uses industrial equipment. Therefore, hiring a pro pays off.
Harsh scrubbers scratch the new glaze. Instead, use mild dish soap. This keeps the shine bright for years.
Bleach damages the polymer over time. Avoid strong chemicals entirely. Your tub thanks you for the gentle care.
Dropped tools chip porcelain easily. Lay down rubber mats for heavy use. Preventative habits stretch the lifespan of your investment.
Fix leaky faucets right away. Constant dripping creates ugly rust stains. Keep the drain plug working properly.

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 Shungnak, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
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.
