Maybe you recently looked at those ugly chips in your tub and felt a headache coming on. Replacing a whole unit usually means ripping out walls and paying a plumber a small fortune. Fortunately, our local crew specializes in reviving those tired porcelain and fiberglass fixtures right where they sit. This smart process saves you time, cuts out the construction chaos, and keeps hard earned cash in your wallet.
Choosing to coat your existing tub instead of tearing it out is a total game changer. First, you avoid the dusty nightmare of a sledgehammer teardown. Second, the entire process takes just a few hours instead of weeks of construction delay. Which means you get to use your bathroom again almost immediately without living in a dusty construction zone.
Think about the last time you hired a contractor and they left your house looking like a war zone. We do things differently by masking off your entire bathroom to protect your vanity, floors, and toilet from any overspray. Our heavy duty exhaust fans pull all the fumes outside so your family breathes clean air. This careful setup ensures a clean workspace and a flawless finish that shines like polished glass.
On top of that, we use advanced bonding agents that fuse directly to your old cast iron or acrylic shell. This high tech chemical bond prevents peeling and resists water pressure for years to come. You get a thick, durable barrier that looks identical to brand new porcelain. Plus, you get to choose custom colors to match your modern decor perfectly.
Let us look at the actual numbers because they might surprise you. A cheap new tub might only cost eighty bucks at the local hardware store. However, once you pay for demolition, new tile, a licensed plumber, and drywall repair, your final bill can easily climb past three grand. Our quick restoration service costs a small fraction of that price while delivering the exact same beautiful look.
| Project Expense | Full Replacement Method | Our Restoration Service |
|---|---|---|
| Material Costs | High (Tub, tile, pipes, drywall) | Low (Premium bonding agents and coatings) |
| Labor Fees | Very High (Plumbers, tilers, carpenters) | Low (One skilled technician) |
| Time to Complete | One to two weeks of mess | Under four to six hours total |
This simple comparison shows why smart homeowners choose to recoat instead of replace. You get to keep your heavy, high quality vintage tub while giving it a pristine new skin. It is the ultimate shortcut to a luxury bathroom without the luxury price tag.
First, we scrub the old surface with specialized industrial cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This critical deep clean exposes the original enamel so our compounds can stick properly. If we find any deep rust spots or chips, we patch them with waterproof fiberglass fillers. This step creates a perfectly flat surface before we even touch a spray gun.
Next, we apply a proprietary acid etch solution to create microscopic pores in the old glaze. This acts like a chemical anchor that grips the new layers with incredible strength. After that, we spray multiple coats of high performance acrylic urethane using professional HVLP sprayers. This meticulous spraying technique prevents runs and orange peel texture, leaving you with a sleek, factory smooth shine.
Finally, we let the new finish cure into a rock hard protective shield. Once dry, we remove all our protective tape and clean up every speck of dust. You are left with a glittering, easy to clean surface that resists stains and mold. All you have to do is wipe it down with a mild soap to keep it looking fabulous.
Living in the beautiful plains of the Centennial State means appreciating hard work and sensible spending. Our service area covers a charming region known for its rich agricultural heritage, friendly communities, and peaceful rural living. With a local population of around five thousand residents, neighborly trust is everything to us. We proudly serve hard working families across local ZIP codes like 80721 and 80754, where the median household income sits around fifty thousand dollars.
Whether you own a historic farmhouse in Akron or a cozy bungalow in Otis, we bring our mobile workshop directly to you. We understand the unique hard water challenges in Washington County, Colorado, which can leave nasty orange rust stains on your fixtures. Our specialized coatings are designed to resist these mineral deposits so your basin stays bright white. You do not have to live with those embarrassing stains anymore when a local pro is just a phone call away.
Some folks worry that a sprayed on finish will look cheap or fake. That only happens when amateurs use cheap DIY kits from the home center. Our commercial grade materials cure to a high gloss luster that fools even the sharpest eyes. Your guests will swear you bought a brand new fixture from a designer showroom.
Another common concern is the durability of the new coating. People wonder if the paint will simply peel off the first time they take a hot shower. Because we use chemical etching and molecular bonding primers, our finishes actually fuse with the original structure. This means the new layer expands and contracts with temperature changes without cracking or lifting.
Lastly, some believe that the chemical smell lingers in the home for weeks. While our professional products do have a strong scent during application, our powerful ventilation systems exhaust the air safely outside. Within a few hours after we packed up our gear, the smell completely vanishes. You can sleep soundly in your home the very same night without any irritating odors.
Maintaining your shiny new finish is actually much easier than scrubbing old, porous porcelain. Since the new non porous topcoat resists dirt and grime, you can say goodbye to harsh abrasive powders and scratchy scrub sponges. Those rough cleaners will actually dull the beautiful shine over time. Instead, simply spray a gentle dish soap or a mild foaming cleaner and wipe it with a soft microfiber cloth.
This easy maintenance routine keeps your wash station looking brand new for ten to fifteen years. We also recommend fixing any leaky faucets quickly because constant dripping can wear down any surface over time. By taking these simple steps, you protect your investment and enjoy a beautiful bathroom for a decade. It is the easiest way to keep your home looking sharp with minimal effort.
Now is the perfect time to take action and reclaim your beautiful bathroom. You do not have to tolerate that ugly, stained, or chipped basin for another day. Our friendly team is ready to drive out to your property and give you an honest, upfront quote with absolutely zero obligations.
Imagine walking into your bathroom tomorrow and seeing a sparkling, clean oasis instead of a dingy eyesore.

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.
