All over Towner 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.
Do you look at your scratched tub with pure dread every single morning? Fortunately, fixing that tired basin without tearing it out saves you a massive headache. This process breathes new life into your bathroom faster than you might think possible.
Now, let us talk about why your bathroom centerpiece needs some serious TLC right now. Through years of scrubbing with harsh agents, the shiny layer wears down to a dull and porous mess. This means you struggle constantly against stubborn stains that refuse to wash away. Consequently, your washing space looks dingy no matter how hard you clean it.
By choosing our local service right here in Towner County, North Dakota, you avoid the high costs of complete demolition. We come directly to your home to spray a fresh liquid coating over your existing basin. This lets you enjoy a smooth surface that feels amazing during your evening soaking routine. Plus, you keep your hard earned money in your pocket instead of paying for costly plumbing tear outs.
Before any painting happens, our crew scrubs the entire basin to remove soap scum and body oils. Then, we apply a strong etching chemical that opens up the microscopic pores of the old porcelain. This guarantees the new acrylic finish sticks tight and lasts for many years without peeling.
Following the deep clean, we mask off your tile walls and floors to protect your entire room from stray droplets. Next, we mix a specialized bonding agent that acts like a bridge between the old material and the new coat. This gives you absolute peace of mind knowing the job holds up against daily family traffic.
After the prep work finishes, we use a high volume low pressure sprayer to apply multiple layers of polyurethane coating. This technique spreads the material evenly across every curve and edge of your vintage basin. Therefore, you get a gorgeous sheen that rivals the luxury of a brand new fixture.
During this stage, our team ensures proper ventilation so your indoor air stays safe and fresh. Once the spraying stops, the coating cures into a hard shell that resists chipping and scratching. This translates to an easy cleanup routine for your busy household every single weekend.
| Comparison Factor | Complete Tear Out | Our Spray Coating Method |
|---|---|---|
| Time Required | One to Three Weeks | Just One Single Day |
| Mess Level | Extreme Dust and Debris | Minimal Cleanup Needed |
| Financial Cost | Thousands of Dollars | Extremely Budget Friendly |
When you weigh your options carefully, the savings become glaringly obvious right away. Smashing out an old cast iron tub creates a gigantic mess and takes weeks of messy construction work. However, our spray method wraps up in just a few hours without destroying your bathroom walls.
Beyond saving time, keeping your existing basin in place stops tons of heavy waste from ending up in local landfills. This eco-friendly approach makes you feel good about reducing unnecessary neighborhood clutter. On top of that, your neighbors will never guess you did not buy a brand new fixture.
Are you tired of staring at ugly rust rings near the drain hole of your shower basin? Those unsightly orange spots usually mean the protective glaze has worn completely away down to the bare metal. Fortunately, our restorative treatment seals those rust spots permanently under a thick layer of durable polymer.
Do hairline cracks cause you to worry about water leaking down into your subfloor infrastructure? Moisture damage breeds mold and rots wood faster than you can yell for help. By having our crew resurface the entire area, you lock out moisture and protect your home investment safely.
Furthermore, outdated pastel colors from decades past can ruin the modern aesthetic of your entire house. We can spray your pink or green basin into a crisp and timeless bright white shade. This simple color change updates your interior decor instantly without requiring a full scale room remodel.
Finding reliable help in rural areas can sometimes feel like searching for a needle in a giant haystack. Luckily, our mobile contracting unit travels directly to your property with all the professional tools needed for the job. This means you never have to worry about hauling heavy plumbing parts yourself.
We pride ourselves on honest pricing and friendly customer service that puts your needs first. Every project gets our full attention from the moment we arrive until the final cleanup sweep. Consequently, local residents trust us implicitly with their home improvement needs.
Maintenance after our visit remains wonderfully simple because the new non porous surface repels dirt effortlessly. You only need mild dish soap and a soft sponge to keep your fixture sparkling bright. This lets you spend less time scrubbing and more time relaxing in your upgraded sanctuary.

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.
