A dull or chipped tub in Tioga 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.
Maybe your old bathing fixture looks like a relic from a bygone era because the color is a strange shade of avocado green or muddy brown. You do not have to live with a stained surface that refuses to get clean no matter how hard you scrub it. Our local team visits your home to apply a fresh, durable glaze that makes your existing basin look brand new again.
This budget-friendly alternative prevents you from tearing out your entire bathroom and spending thousands of dollars on messy demolition work. By choosing this smart path, you save both time and money while keeping your daily routine completely intact. We invite you to request a completely free estimate today to see how affordable this transformation really is.
Our skilled technicians arrive with professional equipment to strip away the old, worn layers before spraying a high-tech bonding agent and a shiny new topcoat. Because we focus on quality, the final result feels incredibly smooth and looks bright enough to mirror your smile. You get a gorgeous bathroom upgrade without the massive headache of hiring plumbers and contractors for a weeks-long project.
First of all, ripping out an old cast iron or steel tub often requires breaking walls and doorways just to get the heavy beast out of the house. This stressful process frequently leads to unexpected plumbing disasters that drain your bank account faster than water down an open pipe. Our process avoids all that chaos by keeping your sturdy original fixture exactly where it belongs.
In addition to saving your sanity, this method protects your wallet from the high cost of new tiles and wall repairs. Since the original structure remains in place, you do not have to worry about matching old grout lines or replacing broken drywall. Which means you get to enjoy a sparkling clean wash area in a fraction of the time.
On top of that, older fixtures often boast a level of durability and thick metal construction that modern plastic replacements simply cannot match. By keeping your high-quality vintage piece, you retain that classic weight and solid feel while enjoying a pristine surface. We give you the best of both worlds by combining old-school toughness with a modern, glossy finish.
To begin, our team thoroughly cleans the surface using specialized acid-free cleaners to dissolve years of soap scum and body oils. This crucial step ensures that the new coatings stick perfectly without any peeling down the road. If we find any deep chips or rust spots, we fill them with durable waterproof resins first.
Next, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old porcelain and the new acrylic finish. This advanced chemical step represents the secret weapon that separates cheap DIY kits from a true professional job. After that, we spray several coats of a premium aliphatic acrylic polyurethane topcoat using high-volume, low-pressure sprayers.
Finally, we let the new surface cure into a rock-hard shield that resists stains and scratches for many years to come. This meticulous process requires excellent ventilation, which is why we always bring professional exhaust fans to keep your indoor air clean. Once we finish, your wash area feels incredibly fresh and possesses a beautiful, inviting luster.
Let us look at a quick comparison to show you how our specialized service stacks up against other common bathroom remodeling routes.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time to Complete | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Tub Replacement | Very High | 3 to 7 Days | Extremely Dusty |
| Plastic Tub Liners | Medium-High | 1 to 2 Days | Moderate |
| Our Professional Resurfacing | Very Low | 4 to 6 Hours | Virtually None |
As you can see from the details above, our cost-effective method delivers the ultimate balance of speed, affordability, and cleanliness. You avoid the hidden costs of hiring multiple tradespeople to fix things that broke during a demolition. This lets you spend your hard-earned dollars on other home improvement projects or fun family weekend trips.
Furthermore, plastic liners can trap water underneath them, which leads to mold buildup and musty odors that ruin your indoor air quality. Our sprayed-on liquid glaze bonds directly to the original material, leaving absolutely no gaps where moisture or bacteria can hide. You get a clean, hygienic bathing space that keeps your family safe and healthy.
Whether you live in a classic home built decades ago or a newer suburban property, our service fits your needs perfectly. Many older houses in Williams County feature beautiful clawfoot tubs or deep soaking basins that deserve to be preserved rather than thrown in a landfill. Our team loves restoring these gorgeous pieces of history to their former glory.
Indeed, preserving these unique architectural details adds immense character and charm to your home that modern mass-produced fixtures cannot replicate. On the other hand, if you own a newer home with a dull fiberglass shower stall, we can easily spray those too. This versatility makes our restoration process the perfect solution for any bathroom layout you might have.
Speaking of the local area, we love serving the friendly community of Tioga, North Dakota, where the population of 1,121 residents appreciates hard work and honest prices. With a median household income of $66,389, homeowners in the 58852 ZIP code area know the value of stretching a dollar without sacrificing quality. We are proud to offer a premium service that respects your budget while delivering outstanding, long-lasting results.
Once we finish our magic, taking care of your newly coated surface is incredibly easy and requires very little effort. You must avoid abrasive scouring powders or harsh bleach products, which can scratch the glossy topcoat over time. Instead, simply wipe the surface down with a mild liquid dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth.
This gentle cleaning routine keeps the brilliant shine intact and prevents soap scum from building up on the smooth surface. Now, you can say goodbye to those grueling weekend scrubbing sessions that leave your back aching and your hands raw. A quick rinse after your shower is usually all it takes to maintain that show-stopping luster.
Additionally, we highly recommend keeping leaky faucets repaired quickly so that constant dripping does not wear down the glaze prematurely. Placing a soft mat without suction cups at the bottom of the basin also helps protect the finish from heavy wear. By following these easy guidelines, you ensure your beautiful wash area remains pristine for a decade or more.

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 Tioga, 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.
