Tearing out an old bathing basin usually turns into a total construction disaster.
Once you start ripping out the walls, you almost always find hidden water damage or mold behind the old plaster.
This unexpected headache can easily double your initial remodeling budget in a heartbeat.
Instead of dealing with that mess, our on-site resurfacing process keeps everything right where it belongs.
We carefully prep the old cast iron or fiberglass material so the new liquid coating sticks perfectly.
Consequently, you get a pristine, factory-like finish without the dust, noise, and endless waiting of a traditional remodel.
Naturally, saving money is the best part of this whole deal.
You can use those extra savings to buy fancy towels or even remodel the rest of your house.
Let us show you the incredible difference our skilled hands can make with a quick, hassle-free consultation.
| Project Phase | Traditional Replacement | On-Site Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very expensive (usually $3,000 to $8,000) | Highly affordable (fraction of replacement) |
| Time Required | One to two weeks of messy construction | Done in just a few hours |
| Debris & Waste | Heavy landfill waste and dusty rooms | Zero demolition and absolutely no mess |
First, we scrub the existing surface with specialized cleaners to remove every single trace of soap scum and mineral deposits.
This deep cleaning step is super important because even a tiny bit of grease can ruin the final look.
After that, we patch up any deep chips or rust spots so the surface is perfectly flat and smooth.
Next, we spray a high-tech bonding agent that chemically welds the new topcoat to your old fixture.
This special primer acts like a superglue layer that prevents peeling or bubbling down the road.
Then, we carefully apply multiple layers of premium acrylic coating using a professional spray system.
Finally, we let the new surface cure into a rock-hard shield that looks just like expensive porcelain.
This process leaves you with a bright, non-porous finish that is incredibly easy to wipe clean.
You will save hours of scrubbing every week because dirt simply cannot stick to this advanced protective layer.
Many homeowners try to use cheap store-bought paint kits to save a few extra bucks.
Unfortunately, those rolled-on paints usually start peeling off in giant sheets after just a few hot showers.
Which means you end up spending more money to have us strip off the failed DIY paint before we can actually do the job right.
Our professional equipment and commercial-grade chemical mixtures are miles ahead of anything you can buy at a local hardware store.
We have the proper respirators and ventilation fans to safely draw any strong fumes out of your house while we work.
Therefore, you get a flawless, durable finish without risking your health or wasting your hard-pressed weekend.
Choosing to renew what you already own is a fantastic way to live a little greener.
Think about the massive amount of energy it takes to manufacture and ship a heavy new fixture to your door.
By keeping your current tub, you help keep heavy construction waste out of our local South Dakota dumping grounds.
Our process focuses on preservation rather than destruction, which is always better for the environment.
On top of that, you will use fewer harsh chemical cleaners in the future because the new slick surface washes off with simple dish soap.
It is a wonderful win-win situation for both your wallet and the beautiful prairie lands we call home.

Every home deserves a clean, bright bathing area, no matter the age of the property.
Get in touch with us today so we can discuss your specific project and give you a detailed, honest estimate at absolutely zero cost.
To keep that brilliant shine looking fresh for many years to come, you must throw away those abrasive scrubbing powders.
Harsh scratchy sponges and bleach will slowly dull the glossy topcoat over time.
Instead, you should use mild liquid soaps and a soft microfiber cloth to gently wipe down the area after use.
Another smart trick is to make sure your faucets do not drip constantly.
Continuous water dripping can wear down even the toughest finishes over a long period, causing ugly rust stains to return.
Fixing a leaky tap early protects your investment and saves precious water at the same time.
Also, avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy metal cans of shaving cream sitting directly on the ledge.
Using a hanging shower caddy keeps these items dry and prevents any rust rings from staining your beautiful new finish.
Following these simple steps ensures your bathing basin stays incredibly bright and clean for a decade or more.
Now is the perfect time to take action and finally get rid of that ugly, stained bathroom eyesore.

We look forward to meeting you and turning your old, tired tub into a beautiful masterpiece you can be proud of!
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.
