Are you tired of staring at that ugly stained basin in your bathroom every single morning? Right now you can completely overhaul your ruined wash basin without spending thousands of dollars on heavy demolition work!

Why Fixing Your Bath Basin Makes Total Sense

Honestly your old bathroom tub probably looks pretty rough after years of daily soap scum and harsh scrubbing. You might think tossing the whole thing in a dumpster is your only choice left. Luckily modern chemical bonding techniques let us spray a shiny fresh layer over your existing fixture in just one quick day!

Besides saving tons of money, skipping a full tearout keeps loud construction noise out of your cozy living space. Nobody actually wants workers smashing porcelain with sledgehammers for a whole week straight... Furthermore you avoid giant piles of toxic drywall dust settling on your hallway carpets and ceiling fans.

Additionally this quick process seals up micro cracks that hide nasty black mold spores underneath the surface. Which means your family stays much safer while enjoying a warm bath on lazy Sunday afternoons. As a nice bonus your whole bathroom suddenly looks like a high end magazine photoshoots without high end prices!

How We Bring Your Old Basin Back To Life

First off our crew scrubs every single inch of the old worn cast iron or acrylic shell with industrial prep acid. Next we sand down rough spots so the new acrylic coating can bite deep into the original material. Finally we blast multiple wet coats of ultra high gloss resin using specialized high volume low pressure sprayers!

Naturally this creates a rock hard shield that resists chips and annoying color fading for many years down the road. Naturally you will love how easy it cleans up using just soft mild dish soap and hot water. On top of that the mirror smooth surface feels amazingly warm and inviting against your skin!

Service Option Time Needed Mess Level Cost Factor
Full Bath Replacement 3 to 7 Days Extreme Dust and Noise Very Expensive
Surface Renewal Process 4 to 6 Hours Zero Heavy Demolition Super Affordable

Save Thousands Compared To Total Replacement

Now let us talk about your hard earned cash because fully replacing a heavy drop in tub gets super pricey real fast. Plumbers charge huge hourly rates just to disconnect drain pipes behind sheetrock walls. Then tile workers charge even more money to patch up destroyed shower walls and cracked floor grout!

Instead of burning through your hard earned savings account, our slick coating application costs a small fraction of traditional remodeling projects. After all why waste hard earned budget money when your structural base is still totally solid under those ugly yellow surface stains? Furthermore you get to keep that charming heavy vintage iron build quality that modern plastic tubs just cannot match!

Consequently you keep several thousand bucks in your bank account for fun household upgrades or family vacations instead. That extra cash money stays right in your wallet where it belongs. Plus the actual resale value of your property shoots up instantly once that nasty dingy wash tub looks factory fresh again!

Local Service Built For Our Unique Community

Living here in Jefferson County means dealing with cold snowy winters and tough hard well water deposits that ruin bathroom fixtures fast. Our tiny charming town with around 711 friendly folks in the 53178 area code deserves honest local workers who show up right on time. In fact households making near the median income of $54,688 love finding smart ways to stretch home renovation dollars further!

Since local well water carries tons of harsh minerals like calcium and iron, old untreated surfaces turn orange or brown super quick. Therefore our ultra thick modern epoxy resins are specially formulated to resist mineral rust bonding and stubborn water spots! Clearly that means you spend way less time on your hands and knees scrubbing dirty bath rings on weekend mornings...

Even better our specialized squad treats your house with absolute respect from the second we back our service truck into your driveway. We lay down protective canvas runners across your floor so no stray boots track muddy slush onto clean rugs. Truly we treat your precious family sanctuary just like our very own mama house!

Understanding The Professional Process Step By Step

To begin with we start by setting up heavy duty exhaust fan tubes directly through your nearest open window. Consequently all chemical fumes and fine paint overspray get sucked outside instantly to keep your interior air fresh. After that we meticulously tape off your metal faucets, vintage trim, and surround wall tiles using sticky painter paper!

Subsequently we apply a proprietary silane bonding agent that chemically welds the wet topcoat onto your underlying antique porcelain structure. Basically this high tech primer acts like double sided liquid tape on a molecular level! Then we lay down three rich layers of durable acrylic polymer that levels out flat as glass...

Eventually we cure the fresh surface with bright infrared heat lamps so you can actually use your functional shower again super fast. Generally you only have to wait about twenty four short hours before taking a nice long bubbly soak! How cool is that simple fast turnaround for busy modern families on the go?

Common Household Accidents We Easily Repair

Perhaps you accidentally dropped a heavy glass perfume bottle and knocked a deep chip right out of your glossy enamel coat. Or maybe your stubborn kid used an abrasive wire sponge and scratched up the bottom floor until it felt like sandpaper! Do not stress out because our thick liquid filler compounds patch up structural gouges smoothly before spray application begins.

Sometimes old metal tubs rust out around the bottom drain ring from tiny water leaks that sat hidden for months on end. In those cases we grind away every single flake of brown rust and coat the bare raw metal with heavy anti corrosion primers! Therefore you never have to worry about ugly rust bleed coming back through your beautiful bright white finish later on.

Even better if your outdated fixture is stuck in an ugly avocado green or salmon pink color from decades ago, we cover it completely. Our pure bright white or off white modern gloss finishes bring your whole room into the modern era instantly. You literally will not even recognize your slick updated bathing space once we pull off the masking tape!

What About Anti Slip Safety Bottoms

Naturally slick shiny shower floors can turn dangerous real quick when covered in slick body wash or hair conditioner. That is why we offer built in micro textured safe grip floors right during the spray coating application phase! Essentially we embed soft polymeric grit into the wet resin base right where your feet stand most often.

Which means grandpa or the young little kiddos can shower safely without slipping around like crazy on wet glass finishes. Plus you can completely ditch those nasty dirty rubber suction mats that trap gross slimy mildew underneath them forever! That added peace of mind makes bathing feel pure cozy and stress free every single day.

Taking Great Care Of Your Fresh Shiny Surface

Once our topcoat cures completely soft, keeping it spotless is genuinely a total walk in the park for homeowner folks. However you must throw away those harsh bleach cleansers and scratchy green scouring pads forever. Instead simply wipe down the slick pore free resin wall using gentle dish liquid and a plush soft microfiber towel!

On top of that drying the floor off with a quick squeegee after showers keeps hard mineral deposits from settling down on your surface. Follow these tiny simple maintenance habits and your bright shiny fixture will easily stay gorgeous for well over a decade! Talk about getting huge value out of a quick small home improvement project!

Prep decides everything in Sullivan

Three quiet stages carry the whole result. They are also the ones nobody sees in the after photo.

The surface earns the coating

Stage 1 of 3

The surface earns the coating

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.

Damage is filled, not painted over

Stage 2 of 3

Damage is filled, not painted over

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.

A controlled spray, not a brush

Stage 3 of 3

A controlled spray, not a brush

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.

Reglaze, liner or new tub in Sullivan

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 questionReglazing in placeAcrylic linerFull 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

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.

Six passes over one bathtub in Sullivan

Deep clean and etch

Pass 1

Deep clean and etch

Soap scum, silicone and old wax stripped, then the surface etched or bonded so the coating can bite.

Chip and rust repair

Pass 2

Chip and rust repair

Every ding ground out, filled and sanded flush. The repairs disappear under the coating instead of through it.

Masking the room

Pass 3

Masking the room

Tile, faucet, floor and glass papered off. Overspray lands on masking paper, never on grout or chrome.

Sprayed finish coats

Pass 4

Sprayed finish coats

Primer, then gloss coats laid on in thin passes until the surface reads as one poured skin.

The cure window

Pass 5

The cure window

The finish hardens on its own clock, 24 to 48 hours. We tape the door and leave the tub in peace.

Fresh caulk lines

Pass 6

Fresh caulk lines

Old caulk goes out with the old finish. A new mildew-resistant bead seals tub to tile on the way out.

Refinished, not reborn

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.

What the new surface is

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.

What it is not

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.

The habits that stretch it

  • Clean with liquid bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth; abrasive powders and scouring pads are the finish's only real predators.
  • Skip suction-cup mats, or at least lift them out after the bath. Trapped water works on any coating given enough weeks.
  • Fix a dripping faucet early. A steady drip wears a track in the gloss the way it would wear a stone.
  • Rinse and wipe after bath oils and hair dye; both stain slowly when left to sit.
  • Call us about the first chip, not the fifteenth. Spot repairs on our own finish are quick and cheap.

The whole job, measured in your time in Sullivan

Two minutes

You dial the number

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 figure, spoken

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

The morning of

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

Repair, mask, spray

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

Cure and caulk

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.

Small job minimumaround $250The 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.

How we stand behind a coating

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.

Asked while we tape the paperwork

  1. How bad is the smell, honestly?

    Strong while spraying, gone surprisingly fast. The extractor vents the room to the outside for the whole job around Sullivan, 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.

  2. When can we actually use the tub?

    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.

  3. Can the color change, or only refresh?

    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.

  4. Do fiberglass and acrylic tubs qualify?

    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.

  5. The tub was coated before and peeled. Now what?

    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.

  6. Is five years all I should hope for?

    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.
