A dull or chipped tub in Warsaw 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 stare at that dull, stained tub every single morning and wonder if you can ever make it look bright and clean again. Replacing the whole fixture sounds like a total nightmare because it ruins your walls and drains your bank account. Fortunately, there is a smart way to get a glossy, fresh surface in just a single day without tearing your home apart.
By choosing to restore the existing basin, you save thousands of dollars that would otherwise go to plumbers and messy demolition crews. This budget-friendly alternative coats your worn-out ceramic or fiberglass with a durable, high-shine finish. It feels incredibly satisfying to watch those ugly scratches and rust stains vanish under a pristine new layer.
Our local team of surface restoration professionals travels right to your doorstep to handle the messy work while you relax. We offer a completely free written estimate so you can plan your budget with total confidence and zero pressure. You deserve a sparkling bathing space that brings you peace of mind instead of daily frustration.
First, we clean the existing surface with specialized industrial solutions to strip away years of built-up soap scum and body oils. This crucial step ensures that the new coating sticks perfectly to the old substrate without any peeling later on. If there are deep chips or cracks, we fill them in carefully to create a flat, seamless base.
Next, our technicians apply a high-tech bonding agent that acts like a super-strong glue between the old porcelain and the new finish. After that, we spray several coats of a premium acrylic urethane topcoat using professional spray guns for an incredibly smooth look. This advanced material cures into a hard, protective shell that stands up to daily splashing and scrubbing.
| The Process Step | What We Do For You | The Big Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Acid Etching | Remove old glaze and grease | Maximum coating adhesion |
| Damage Repair | Fill in chips and scratches | Flawless, smooth surface |
| Precision Spraying | Apply professional topcoat | Beautiful factory-like shine |
Once the curing process finishes, your bathroom is ready to use again in just a couple of days. This rapid turnaround means you do not have to live in a dusty construction zone for weeks on end. You get all the visual rewards of a brand-new fixture at a tiny fraction of the traditional replacement cost.
Think about the massive headache of ripping out a heavy cast iron basin from your bathroom floor. You usually have to break surrounding tiles, update old plumbing pipes, and pay hefty fees just to throw the old unit away. On top of that, you might find hidden water damage behind the walls which adds more unexpected costs.
Opting for a professional surface coating bypasses all of those scary construction surprises and keeps your original bathroom layout intact. This clever process is highly sustainable too because it keeps bulky, non-biodegradable fixtures out of our local Indiana landfills. You get to enjoy a gorgeous, shiny space while doing a little favor for Mother Earth at the same time.
Additionally, the new non-porous finish makes your weekly cleaning routine ten times easier than it used to be. Mold and mildew have a very hard time sticking to the ultra-smooth urethane layer we apply. This means you can spend your weekends doing things you actually love instead of scrubbing stains on your knees.

Our crew understands the hard water challenges that local homeowners face, which is why we use extra-durable coatings designed to resist staining. You can trust our team to deliver a stunning finish that stands up to the unique demands of our regional water supply.
Many homeowners try to save a quick buck by buying cheap paint-on kits from the local big-box hardware store. Unfortunately, those roll-on epoxy products often leave ugly brush strokes, drip marks, and bubbles that look worse than the original damage. Even worse, those consumer-grade coatings usually start peeling off in sheets after just a few months of hot showers.
Our professional spray equipment and commercial-grade bonding chemicals ensure a factory-smooth finish that lasts for many years to come. We also use advanced ventilation systems to pull chemical fumes out of your house during the application process. This keeps your indoor air clean and safe for your family and pets while we work our magic.
To keep your newly coated basin looking spectacular, you must avoid harsh abrasive cleansers and scratchy scouring pads. Simple dish soap or mild liquid cleaners work beautifully to wipe away dirt without dulling the protective topcoat. This easy maintenance routine preserves the brilliant luster of your restored fixture for a very long time.
We also advise against leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting directly on the newly treated surface for weeks. Using a hanging shower caddy protects the finish from standing water and prevents premature wear on the edges. These tiny habits ensure that your investment stays looking brand new, saving you money on future repairs.

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 Warsaw, 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.
