You do not have to live with a stained, chipped, or outdated tub that makes you cringe every time you walk into the bathroom. Many homeowners think their only choice is a costly replacement process that tears up their walls and floors. Luckily, we offer a smart alternative that saves you time, cash, and heaps of dusty chaos. Our on-site crew specializes in applying a fresh, durable liquid acrylic coating right over your existing surface.
This budget-friendly option seals up old cracks and covers ugly stains permanently. Naturally, this means you can bypass the plumbing headaches and the giant mess of a full demolition. You will get a gorgeous, easy-to-clean wash basin that looks like it just came off the showroom floor. Plus, our high-quality materials ensure that this new look lasts for years to come with just basic care.
Our process works wonders on all sorts of old fixtures, including cast iron and fiberglass. Since we handle everything from preparation to the final polish, you can just sit back and relax. We take great pride in helping folks across Barry County fall in love with their bathrooms all over again. It is amazing how a single day of professional work can completely transform the vibe of your entire home.
First, we clean the old area using specialized cleaners that strip away decades of soap scum and mineral deposits. After that, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots with a heavy-duty waterproof filler. This step is super important because the new coat needs a perfectly smooth foundation to stick to. If you skip this part, the final finish will look bumpy and fail much sooner than it should.
Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically fuses the new layer to the old porcelain or acrylic. This molecular bond prevents peeling and bubbling down the road, even under constant exposure to hot water. We then spray several coats of a high-tech topcoat using professional spray equipment for an incredibly smooth finish. Finally, we let the surface cure, leaving you with a brilliant shine that looks absolutely flawless.
To help you understand how this compares to traditional replacement, we put together this handy table:
| Factor | Our Refinishing Method | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, usually a fraction of the cost | Extremely expensive due to labor and plumbing |
| Time to Complete | Finished in just a few hours | Can take several days or even weeks |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal, we mask off the entire area | Major demolition dust and debris |
| Lifespan | 10 to 15 years with proper care | Decades, but with high upfront hassle |
As you can see, choosing to restore your fixture is a total no-brainer for anyone watching their wallet. This clever shortcut lets you invest your hard-earned money into other home improvements. On top of that, you avoid the risk of discovering hidden water damage behind your bathroom walls during a demolition. We keep things simple, honest, and incredibly efficient from start to finish.

Our goal is to make the entire experience as smooth and stress-free as possible for you. From the moment you request your free on-site estimate, we focus on your specific needs and budget. We explain every step of the process so you know exactly what to expect. This honest approach has made us a trusted favorite for home improvement projects in this lovely corner of Missouri.
Once our team finishes the job, maintaining that brilliant luster is actually incredibly simple. You should always avoid abrasive scouring powders or harsh scrub brushes that can scratch the fresh coating. Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner along with a soft microfiber cloth. This simple routine keeps the surface slick and prevents soap scum from building up over time.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet bath mats sitting inside the basin for long periods. Moisture trapped under suction cups can weaken the bond over time and cause premature wear. Simply hanging your mat up to dry after your shower will extend the life of your new finish significantly. These tiny habits ensure that your investment stays beautiful and shiny for at least a decade.
We want you to get the absolute most out of our work, which is why we offer these tips freely. Our crew is always happy to answer any questions about maintenance during our visit.

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 Washburn, 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
