A dull or chipped tub in Trade Lake 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.
You probably stare at those cracked and yellowed surfaces every single morning while brushing your teeth. Maybe you think the only way to fix it is a massive renovation that costs a fortune.
Actually you can achieve a brand new look without tearing out the plumbing or dealing with dusty demolition debris. By choosing to renew the surface instead of replacing the entire unit you save tons of money and keep your home feeling fresh.
Basically the procedure involves stripping away the old layer of grime and applying a high-tech finish that bonds directly to the existing material. This creates a smooth and glossy barrier that resists stains and holds up against daily water exposure.
Because this method seals the porous parts of your basin it stops mold from growing in those tiny hidden spots. That means you get a much cleaner space without scrubbing your life away every weekend.
Usually people assume that a new tub requires ripping everything out of the floor and walls. That creates a huge mess that takes weeks to finish while your bathroom stays out of commission.
When you go with our specialized service we handle the job in just a few hours. This gives you the luxury of a usable space almost immediately after the coating cures which is a major win for busy families.
| Benefit | Why it matters |
| Cost savings | You keep thousands of dollars in your pocket instead of spending it on brand new hardware. |
| Speed | Most jobs wrap up in a single day which prevents long term disruption to your schedule. |
| Durability | A properly applied finish creates a robust shield that lasts for many years without peeling. |
Instead of throwing a heavy cast iron or fiberglass basin into a landfill you decide to keep it in your home. This choice reduces waste significantly and keeps your local community cleaner for everyone involved.
Moreover you save the energy that would have been used to manufacture and transport a giant new product to Trade Lake. That is a great way to be kind to the planet while also upgrading your own living space.
Clearly the median household income in this part of Burnett County is something everyone considers when planning home repairs. You get one clear written price for your own situation, with no obligation.
Furthermore you avoid the hidden costs that always pop up when you start ripping open walls. Plumbing issues and unexpected framing repairs usually hide behind old tubs until you start a full demolition project.
First the technician cleans the surface thoroughly to remove oils and soap scum that prevent the coating from sticking. Then the team masks off the surrounding tile and floors to protect your home from any potential splatters.
Next the chemical bonding agent goes on to prepare the base layer for the final high performance topcoat. This ensures that the new finish grips tight and stays smooth for years to come.
Before starting the job you should remove all personal items like shampoo bottles or bath rugs from the area. This helps the workers move freely and ensures that nothing gets damaged while they work their magic.
On top of that make sure the room has plenty of airflow before the crew arrives. Even though the modern materials are much safer than the old stuff ventilation is still super important for the best results.
Naturally you might worry about the smell or the duration of the curing process after the work finishes. Everything we use is designed for residential use which means the fumes dissipate quite quickly.
Additionally you should avoid using the shower for a full twenty four hours so the material can harden completely. Following this simple advice guarantees that you get the most out of your investment without any issues later on.
Perhaps you want a classic crisp white or maybe you prefer an off white shade to match your existing tiles. You have plenty of options to customize the look so that your room feels exactly how you want it.
Besides the color you can choose between a high gloss finish that sparkles or a matte look for a modern vibe. This level of customization lets you curate the exact aesthetic you desire for your sanctuary.
Honestly the best way to move forward is to reach out and schedule a time for someone to take a look. We come to your home in the 54893 ZIP code or surrounding areas to provide an honest estimate.
Because every basin has different wear patterns we need to see it in person to give you a solid price. There are no strings attached to this meeting and you get all the facts before making any decisions.
Because we live and work in the same area we care about doing a good job for our neighbors. A happy client is our best advertisement and we strive to provide excellent results that you can show off to your friends.
Regardless of whether you live in a small cottage or a larger home in Wisconsin we bring the same attention to detail. Our goal is to leave you with a space that looks brand new and functions perfectly for your needs.
Since you have read this far you probably have a clear idea of what this work entails for your bathroom. It is a smart move that fixes up your home while saving you from the headache of a full scale remodel.
Once you see the results for yourself you will wonder why you waited so long to make the call. Go ahead and get in touch today so we can set up a time to chat about your project.
Ultimately your happiness with the final surface is what drives our work every single day. We take pride in making things shine again and we want you to be thrilled when you step into your renovated room.

You deserve a beautiful and clean space to start your day without any stress. Let us take care of the heavy lifting so you can enjoy your home to the fullest.
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 Trade Lake, 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.
