All over Teller County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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.
Is your old basin looking like a relic from a dusty museum exhibit? You can easily restore that glossy shine without paying for an expensive total renovation.
Most people assume that when their wash basin looks cracked or worn, they need to rip it out entirely. This misconception usually leads to massive headaches and thousands of dollars wasted on demolition crews. Instead of dealing with the chaos of a full remodel, you should consider a specialized surface rejuvenation process. This technique fills in those annoying chips and updates the finish to look brand new again. You will save a small fortune by opting for this restoration instead of buying a heavy replacement unit.
Furthermore, these heavy fixtures are built to last for decades if you treat the surface right. Think about the stress of carrying a cast iron beast through your narrow hallways. You avoid the risk of damaging your floors or walls when you keep the original unit in place. It is a much smarter move to work with what you already have in your home. Your wallet will certainly thank you for avoiding the cost of a full demolition project.
Beyond the financial savings, you get a beautiful finish that feels smooth and looks bright. Most homeowners in Teller County, Colorado feel surprised by how much better their space looks after a quick touch-up. Since the population density is quite low here, you likely enjoy a quiet life in your mountain home. Keeping your property in shape helps maintain your home value without requiring a major construction project. It is simply the most logical choice for anyone tired of staring at stains.
First, we carefully prepare the surface by cleaning it with strong industrial solvents. This step removes decades of soap scum and hard water deposits that cause issues. We need a pristine canvas to ensure the new coating bonds perfectly to your existing structure. Skipping this part would be a massive mistake for any professional. A clean surface means the final layer stays intact for many years to come.
Next, we address those unsightly chips and cracks with a high-quality filler material. This putty blends seamlessly into the existing shape of your basin. Once it dries, we sand it down so your touch is completely uniform. You will not even be able to tell where the damage used to be. This level of detail makes a huge difference in the overall look.
Finally, we apply a specialized spray finish that creates a durable barrier against moisture. This substance hardens into a protective shell that looks just like brand new porcelain. You get a finish that feels wonderful and stays clean with minimal effort. Because this coating is non-porous, mold and mildew find it impossible to take root. This makes your daily routine much more pleasant and keeps your bathroom smelling fresh.

When you hire someone to perform this work, you deserve someone who shows up on time. Living in such a beautiful high-altitude region means you value quality and reliability. You want a professional who understands the unique needs of your home. We provide accurate assessments and a free estimate so you know exactly what to expect. No hidden fees or surprises pop up once the work begins.
We treat every home with the same level of care we would show our own. Since the median household income varies across the region, we ensure our pricing remains accessible for everyone. Whether you live in one of the higher zip codes or down in the valleys, we travel to you. Providing a free estimate allows you to see the value before you commit to anything. It gives you the information you need to make a solid choice for your household.
After we arrive, we mask off all the surrounding areas with heavy plastic sheeting. This ensures that no paint or dust settles on your floor or walls. We take your home protection seriously because we know how much you value a clean environment. We also use a ventilation system to clear out any fumes quickly. You can return to your routine shortly after we finish the application.
Most jobs take only a few hours to complete from start to finish. Once the coating cures, your basin is ready for water again after a brief wait period. This speed is perfect for busy families who cannot afford to lose their bathroom for a week. You avoid the long delays associated with traditional contractors who drag projects on for ages. It is an efficient solution for a common household problem.
You might see kits at the hardware store that promise professional results for a low price. However, these store-bought products often fail within a few months because they lack durability. They usually peel or turn yellow because the chemistry is not designed for heavy, daily use. You end up with a messy surface that looks worse than when you started. It is better to rely on professional-grade materials that actually hold up against hot water and scrubbing.
Our materials are made for high-performance settings where moisture is constant. We use special primers that bond deeply into the substrate of your fixture. This provides a level of comfort regarding the longevity of your investment. You get a lasting result that remains white and glossy for a long time. Trying to do this yourself is a risky gamble that rarely pays off in the long run.
Once we finish the job, you should avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners on the surface. These chemicals can scratch the protective layer and shorten its lifespan. Instead, use a mild soap and a soft cloth to wipe it down regularly. A gentle approach helps you preserve that lovely shine for many years. It is a simple way to protect the work we performed in your home.

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.
