A dull or chipped tub in Tanacross 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.
If you are staring at a stained and chipped tub every single morning, you probably feel like pulling your hair out.
Luckily, you can completely transform that eyesore into a shiny masterpiece without spending thousands of dollars on a full remodel.
Our fast and affordable local services bring the ultimate sparkle back to your home in no time.
Actually, many people think they need to rip out their entire bathing fixture when the surface starts looking dull or yellow.
That messy process can take weeks and leaves you without a working bathroom.
Instead, our specialized resurfacing process coats your existing setup with a durable, high-gloss finish that looks brand new.
Because we live and work right here in the area, we know how tough the local subarctic climate can be on home plumbing fixtures.
This means we use premium bonding agents designed to withstand extreme temperature shifts.
You get a gorgeous, easy-to-clean surface that stays bright for years to come.
First of all, replacing a heavy cast iron or steel tub is an absolute nightmare that usually involves breaking tiles and widening doorways.
Which means you end up paying for plumbers, tile setters, and trash haulers just to get the old one out.
Choosing to recoat the existing structure saves you a mountain of cash and avoids all that dusty chaos.
On top of that, the entire application takes only a single day to complete.
This lets you use your upgraded shower space almost immediately.
We carefully prep the old porcelain or fiberglass, repair any deep scratches, and spray on a tough topcoat that looks like factory-fresh ceramic.
To help you see how much cash you can keep in your wallet, we put together a quick comparison table of your options.
| Project Factor | Full Replacement Service | Our Specialized Coating Process |
|---|---|---|
| Total Project Cost | Extremely high due to labor and plumbing | Very affordable and budget-friendly |
| Time to Complete | Multiple days or even weeks of mess | Finished in just a few hours |
| Debris and Waste | Landfills get clogged with old heavy tubs | Zero waste and totally eco-friendly |
Naturally, saving money is great, but getting a top-tier result is what really matters for your peace of mind.
Our skilled technicians pay close attention to every tiny corner to ensure a smooth, seamless finish.
You will love how the light bounces off the refreshed material when we are done.
Before we even open a bottle of sealant, we protect your entire bathroom with thick plastic sheeting and set up a powerful ventilation fan.
This keeps your indoor air clean and prevents any overspray from landing on your vanity or toilet.
We treat your home with the utmost respect, leaving absolutely zero mess behind.
Next, we apply a specialized acid etch formula to dissolve decades of soap scum and body oils.
This step is crucial because it creates microscopic pores in the old glaze so the new materials can grab hold.
If a contractor skips this part, your new finish will peel off like sunburned skin within a month.
After repairing any chips or rust spots with a waterproof filler, we spray several coats of an advanced acrylic urethane.
This chemical bond fuses directly to the original structure.
Consequently, you get a beautiful finish that resists scratches and looks incredibly sleek.
Specifically, we refuse to use cheap DIY kits from the local hardware store because they simply do not last.
Those brush-on paints quickly turn yellow, crack, and fail when exposed to hot water.
We invest in commercial-grade compounds that require professional spray equipment and safety gear to apply correctly.
Moreover, our high-tech coatings are non-porous once cured.
This prevents mold and mildew from taking root in old cracks.
Cleaning becomes a breeze because you only need a quick wipe with a mild soap to keep it gleaming.
Once we pack up our tools, we teach you how to keep that beautiful shine alive for decades.
You must avoid abrasive powders and harsh scrubbing pads that can dull the glossy top layer.
Instead, using gentle dish soap or a spray-on cleaner keeps the surface looking brand new.
Another smart tip is to fix leaky faucets quickly so dripping water does not wear down the coating over time.
Simple care habits ensure your investment pays off for a very long time.
You will enjoy a bright, clean wash space every day without any heavy scrubbing.

You do not have to worry about sourcing hard-to-find supplies or dealing with out-of-town freight charges.
Many homeowners ask us if we can change the color of their ugly avocado green or outdated pink fixtures.
Absolutely, we can transform any wild retro color into a classic, bright white or modern almond shade.
This simple change instantly modernizes your entire bathroom space.
Another common worry is whether the process smells bad during the application.
While the chemicals do have a strong odor while being sprayed, our heavy-duty exhaust fans pull the fumes safely outdoors.
The scent fades away completely within a few hours after we finish our work.

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 Tanacross, 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.

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.
