A dull or chipped tub in Switzer 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.
Do you look at that stained basin in your bathroom and feel totally bummed out? Well, transforming it without a massive demo job is totally possible with our local trade service right here in Switzer, West Virginia. This lets you save thousands of dollars while getting a brand new look fast.
Maybe your house sits quietly in the 25647 area with neighbors spread across Logan County. Perhaps you just want a fresh wash area without spending a fortune. This guide explains how our crew fixes ugly basins easily.
Years of scrubbing can ruin the protective gloss on your tub. Because of this everyday wear, dirt sticks deep inside the porous surface. This means you end up with stains that never seem to vanish no matter what you try.
Harsh cleaners actually strip away the original finish over time. Consequently, the bare material underneath gets exposed to rust and grime. Such damage makes your daily soak feel gross instead of relaxing.
Ignoring small chips lets water seep underneath the coating. This creates nasty mold growth that ruins your subfloor. Fixing that structural rot costs a whole lot more later.
Replacing the entire fixture demands knocking down walls and hiring expensive plumbers. By contrast, our specialized resurfacing method fixes the problem in just one day. This gives you a gorgeous finish without the usual mess.
First we clean the entire surface to get rid of all soap scum. Then our techs apply a strong chemical bond agent to grip the new coat. This ensures your restored tub lasts for many years.
Next we spray specialized acrylic polyurethane coatings over the old worn enamel. This creates a smooth finish that feels amazing against your skin. You basically get a brand new tub without buying a new one.
Picking a fresh color updates your whole bathroom vibe instantly. White remains a super popular choice for making small spaces look huge. Meanwhile, bone or almond hues bring a classic warmth to your home.
Glossy finishes reflect light beautifully around the room. This makes your morning routine much brighter and happier. Your friends will honestly think you bought a brand new fixture.
| Method | Average Cost | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | High | One Week |
| Our Resurfacing | Low | One Day |
Looking at the numbers makes the smart choice pretty obvious. Spending less money leaves extra cash for other home projects. That sounds like a win for your wallet.
Messy construction zones drive most homeowners completely crazy for days. On the other hand, our clean crew leaves your bathroom spotless before leaving. This lets you relax immediately in your updated space.
Life around here in the heart of Logan County moves at a nice steady pace. Folks appreciate honest work and fair prices from local tradespeople. That is why we treat every home just like our own.
With a cozy population of around 557 residents, everybody knows everybody. Word of mouth matters deeply in a tight-knit spot like Switzer. Therefore, we always deliver top quality results on every job.
Mountain humidity can sometimes wreak havoc on older bathroom fixtures. Trapped moisture leads to peeling paint and gross mildew buildup. Our specialized primers block that humidity out completely.
Proper ventilation helps too, but a sealed surface stops water damage dead. This keeps your wash area looking pristine through every changing season. You will love how easy the new surface cleans up.
Harsh abrasive powders will scratch the new acrylic finish very quickly. Instead, grab some gentle dish soap and a soft cloth for weekly wipe downs. This simple habit keeps the shine looking brand new.
Dropping heavy tools directly into the tub can cause chips in the coating. Always be careful when washing heavy metal items in the basin. Taking these small precautions protects your investment for a long time.
Avoid using rubber bath mats with suction cups left on overnight. Trapped water under those mats can soften the fresh topcoat over time. Simply hang your mat up to dry after every single bath.
Following these easy tips guarantees your renewed fixture stays gorgeous for a decade or more. You get maximum value without any ongoing headaches. That translates to total peace of mind.
Stopping that daily embarrassment of a stained tub takes just one quick message. Our friendly team is always ready to answer your questions honestly. We provide clear pricing with zero hidden fees attached.

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 Switzer, 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.
