Actually, most people think they need to rip out their entire cast iron or fiberglass basin when it gets dull.
That expensive mistake usually leads to broken tiles, plumbing headaches, and thousands of dollars in bills.

This budget-friendly process breathes new life into your existing setup by applying a tough, high-gloss synthetic coating.
Which means you get to keep your quality vintage fixtures while enjoying a bright, clean look that feels incredibly smooth.
It really is the ultimate shortcut to a beautiful washroom without the weeks of construction dust and noise.
Our skilled crew handles everything from deep cleaning to the final curing stage with absolute precision.
We carefully repair deep scratches, chips, and rust spots before spraying the specialized liquid acrylic finish.

If you live in this beautiful corner of the Prairie State, you know that home maintenance costs can add up fast.
Families across the region, from the quiet streets of Toulon to the cozy neighborhoods in Wyoming, love saving cash.
Our fast surface restoration service fits perfectly into busy schedules and modest budgets alike.
We put the figure in writing before any work starts.
This handy table shows how resurfacing stacks up against a full, messy replacement project.
| Project Details | Full Replacement | Our Surface Refinishing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High ($3,000 - $8,000) | Super Affordable |
| Time to Complete | Up to 2 weeks of mess | Just a single day |
| Plumbing Work | Requires major changes | No pipe changes needed |
| Durability | Depends on new tub quality | Lasts for many years |
On top of those savings, you also avoid the risk of discovering hidden water damage behind your bathroom walls.
This hassle-free approach protects your peace of mind while instantly boosting the overall value of your property.
You get to enjoy a fresh, clean space without sacrificing your hard-earned savings on greedy contractors.
First, we scrub the entire area with specialized industrial cleaners to remove soap scum, body oils, and old mineral deposits.
This crucial step ensures that the new coatings bond perfectly to the original porcelain or acrylic substrate beneath.
Without this intense washing, the fresh layer would simply peel off after just a few hot showers.
Next, we mask off your entire bathroom using protective plastic sheets and professional painter tape to catch any overspray.
We also set up a heavy-duty exhaust fan in the window to pull all the chemical fumes safely out of your house.
This careful setup keeps your home smelling fresh and protects your floors from any accidental spots.
Now, we inspect the surface for hidden cracks, deep rust spots, and ugly chips that need immediate attention.
We fill these imperfections with a waterproof polyester putty that cures incredibly fast and creates a perfectly flat base.
Once we sand it down smooth, you will not even be able to tell where the old holes used to be.
After that, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical bridge between the old tub and the new finish.
This advanced liquid formula is the secret sauce that prevents peeling and keeps the surface looking great for a decade.
It ensures that our high-tech coating sticks like glue, even under the constant pressure of hot running water.
Then, our trained technician uses a professional spray gun to apply multiple thin layers of high-gloss acrylic urethane.
We build up these coats slowly to create a deep, rich luster that mimics the look of real baked-on porcelain.
This careful application technique prevents drips and runs, leaving you with a flawless, mirror-like finish.
Finally, we remove all our masking materials and clean up the work area so your bathroom looks neat and tidy.
You only have to wait about twenty-four hours for the advanced resins to cure completely before you can use the shower.
It is a simple, quick transformation that will make you smile every single time you walk past the bathroom door.
Perhaps you are wondering if your particular setup is a good candidate for this specialized cosmetic makeover.
Fortunately, we can work on almost any material, including heavy cast iron, pressed steel, fiberglass, and modern acrylic liners.
Even if your fixture is a bizarre color from the nineteen-seventies, we can coat it with a bright, modern white.
However, you should keep in mind that this process cannot fix structurally rotted floors or completely collapsed plumbing lines.
If your tub is leaking water from the bottom, you might need a licensed plumber to fix those pipes first.
But if the issue is just surface wear, staining, minor chipping, or a dull finish, our service is absolutely perfect.
Many landlords also use this quick method to spruce up rental units between tenants without losing weeks of rent.
It allows you to present a clean, hygienic bathroom to potential renters while keeping your maintenance overhead low.
It is a win-win situation that keeps your tenants happy and your bank account full.

Once we finish our work, you will want to protect your investment by using the right cleaning habits.
Which means you must throw away those abrasive scrubbing powders and harsh bleach products that scratch the surface.
Instead, you should use mild dish soap, warm water, and a soft microfiber sponge to wipe down the basin weekly.
On top of that, you should avoid leaving wet washcloths or heavy shampoo bottles sitting directly on the bottom of the tub.
Standing water underneath these items can weaken the bond over time and cause premature wear to the glossy coating.

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, 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.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
