A dull or chipped tub in Tununak 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.
Your old washing basin probably looks pretty rough after years of daily scrubbing. Instead of ripping out the entire heavy fixture and spending a fortune on plumbing, you can actually choose a much smarter path. Our professional refinishing service breathes fresh energy into your existing setup by applying a tough protective glaze right over the worn surface.
This budget-friendly process saves you thousands of dollars in messy demolition work. Which means you get a sparkling, clean wash space without the massive headache of a full remodel. You will love how the smooth glossy finish brightens up the entire room instantly.
Since we travel directly to your home to handle everything, the hassle stays at an absolute minimum. We even offer a completely free estimate so you can plan your home improvement project without any financial pressure. Let us help you transform that dingy, stained basin into a gorgeous centerpiece you can actually show off to guests.
If you think about replacing that heavy old wash basin, you must prepare for a lot of hidden disasters. First of all, those ancient fixtures weigh a ton and often require cutting through your bathroom doorway just to get them out. On top of that, you almost always end up breaking the surrounding wall tiles during the extraction process.
This domino effect of damage turns a simple upgrade into an expensive construction circus. Then you have to hire a licensed plumber to re-align the drain pipes because modern basins rarely match the old setups perfectly. By choosing our specialized surface restoration technique, you bypass every single one of these stressful headaches.
Our skilled local crew takes care of the whole process right where it sits. This means your walls, plumbing, and floor remain completely untouched and safe. We love saving homeowners from the dreaded dust cloud of bathroom demolition work...
To get that beautiful shine to stick for years, we follow a very strict preparation routine. First, we strip away all the old soap scum, body oils, and ancient mineral deposits using specialized cleaners. After the surface is completely bare, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots that have collected over the decades.
Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old porcelain and the new coating. This step is crucial because without it, the fresh glaze would just peel off after a few hot showers. Finally, we spray multiple layers of high-gloss acrylic polymer to seal the deal.
This advanced material cures into an incredibly hard shell that resists stains and looks just like brand new factory porcelain. You will find that cleaning your shiny new surface becomes a total breeze. Just a quick wipe with a soft cloth and mild soap keeps it looking spectacular.

Many older steel and cast iron basins develop nasty rust spots around the drain and overflow areas. These dark stains look terrible and can eventually eat right through the metal if you leave them alone. Our team uses advanced rust converters to neutralize the oxidation and stop the damage from spreading any further.
Once we stop the rust, we fill in the pitted areas with a water-resistant waterproof compound. This ensures the final surface looks completely flat and uniform without any weird bumps or dips. We take great pride in making these troubled spots vanish completely under our durable glaze.
Even if your basin has a few deep chips from dropped shampoo bottles, we can fix those easily. Our repair compounds bond tightly to the underlying structure, creating a seamless repair. Your finished wash basin will look so perfect that nobody will ever guess it used to have ugly scars.
While classic high-gloss white remains the most popular choice for homeowners, we can customize the look to match your bathroom design. A bright white finish reflects light beautifully, making small, cozy bathrooms feel much larger and more open. This simple change can make your entire washing area feel clean, fresh, and inviting.
Our premium coating materials are specifically designed to resist yellowing over time, even under constant exposure to hot water. This means your basin stays bright and beautiful for many years to come. We use premium materials that are safe for your family once they are fully cured.
You can say goodbye to those stubborn stains that never seem to scrub away no matter how hard you work. The new non-porous barrier keeps dirt and grime on the surface where it easily washes down the drain. This saves you tons of time and effort during your weekly chores...

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 Tununak, 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.
