A dull or chipped tub in Tecolote 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 looking at that old chipped basin in your bathroom? This guide helps you fix it without breaking the bank.
Truthfully, buying a brand new bathing vessel costs a small fortune and creates a massive mess in your home. Instead of ripping out your plumbing, you can refinish the existing surface and save your hard-earned cash.
First, technicians scrub away years of grime using specialized chemical strippers. This lets the professional prep the porcelain for the upcoming bonding agents.
Next, they fill in pesky chips and annoying cracks with industrial-grade fillers. Which means your tub gets a completely smooth foundation before the spraying starts.
Then comes the liquid acrylic application that gives your old basin a glossy finish. This special resin bonds tightly to cast iron or fiberglass without peeling off.
Ultimately, you get a pristine bathing area that feels remarkably smooth to the touch. On top of that, nobody will guess your shiny fixture is actually decades old.
Naturally, gutting your entire bathroom drains your savings account faster than expected. Remodeling contractors charge thousands just for labor and demolition fees.
Conversely, restoring your current basin costs a fraction of a full replacement. This financial breathing room lets you spend your money on other home improvement projects.
Furthermore, traditional renovations take weeks of noisy construction and dusty chaos. Nobody wants workers lingering in their house for a whole month.
Thankfully, our crew finishes the entire project in just a few short hours. This rapid turnaround means you miss zero days of normal routine.
Living out in ZIP codes like the ones around this charming settlement brings peace and quiet. However, finding reliable contractors willing to drive out here can prove quite frustrating.
Fortunately, we love traveling across Sandoval County to help our wonderful neighbors. Our team brings all the necessary professional gear right to your driveway.
With a cozy local population around two hundred five residents, everyone knows everybody out here. Most homeowners take immense pride in maintaining their classic Southwestern properties.
Yet, older homes often feature pastel pink or avocado green bathing basins from past decades. Updating these fixtures dramatically boosts your interior aesthetic instantly.
Many folks worry that sprayed coatings will scratch or peel off after a few uses. However, modern bonding technology creates a molecular grip that stands up to daily showers.
Naturally, you must use mild cleaning products instead of harsh abrasive powders. This simple maintenance habit keeps your restored surface gleaming for many years.
People often dread the strong chemical smells associated with paint and resin products. Fortunately, our technicians use heavy-duty ventilation fans to pull fumes straight outside.
Consequently, your living spaces stay safe and breathable while the coating cures. You will not suffer from lingering chemical headaches after we finish the job.
Wiping down the basin after your evening bath prevents soap scum buildup entirely. This little habit preserves the glossy shine without requiring intense scrubbing sessions later.
Furthermore, always check your faucet for slow leaks that might cause mineral stains. Stopping drips early protects your investment against premature wear.
Never use steel wool pads on your newly sprayed porcelain surface. Those abrasive sponges create micro-scratches that dull the glossy finish over time.
Additionally, stay away from bleach-heavy toilet bowl cleaners that eat away at the resin. Using gentle dish soap works wonders for daily cleaning tasks.
Hardware stores sell cheap roll-on kits promising miraculous DIY bathroom transformations. Unfortunately, these amateur formulas usually bubble and peel within six months.
Professional spray equipment applies an atomized mist that guarantees an even, factory-like smoothness. Which means you avoid the ugly brush strokes left by cheap rollers.
Working with professional bonding agents requires specialized respirators and protective gear. Breathing in atomized acrylic polymers poses serious health risks without proper safety gear.
Our trained crew handles all those hazardous elements so you stay completely safe. You get gorgeous results without lifting a single finger.
Properly maintained surfaces can easily look fantastic for over a decade. Following our simple cleaning advice ensures maximum longevity for your investment.
Naturally, heavy abuse or dropping heavy tools will damage any surface over time. Treating your basin with care guarantees lasting beauty.
Absolutely, you can switch from outdated colors to a crisp, modern white finish. This dramatic change completely transforms the mood of your entire bathroom space.
Darker custom colors are also available if you prefer a bold design statement. Your imagination is the only limit for your color choices.

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 Tecolote, 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.
