A dull or chipped tub in Wausau Junction 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 probably stare at those cracked and yellowing surfaces every single morning while brushing your teeth. Transforming your old, stained washing basin into a gleaming masterpiece is actually way easier than you think.
Getting that fresh look without the massive mess of a total demolition sounds like a dream, right? This process breathes new life into your room while keeping your bank account happy.
Replacing a heavy cast iron or steel basin involves tearing out tiles and dealing with nasty plumbing nightmares. That kind of project usually drags on for weeks while you deal with dust everywhere in your home.
Choosing to renew the existing surface saves you from all that stress and saves a mountain of cash. You keep the original structure intact while applying a durable, high-gloss coating that shines like brand new.
First, we scrub away years of grime, soap scum, and those stubborn mineral deposits that just will not budge. This deep cleaning ensures the new finish sticks perfectly so you do not deal with peeling later on.
Next, we repair any chips, cracks, or deep gouges using special industrial fillers that harden just like stone. Once the surface is smooth as glass, we apply the bonding agent that acts like a magnet for the top coat.
Applying a high-quality resin finish creates a non-porous layer that resists mold and mildew buildup much better than original enamel. This means you spend way less time scrubbing on your knees and more time enjoying your space.
Because the material is extremely hard and smooth, it provides a sense of total ease for your daily routine. You get a spotless environment that reflects light beautifully and makes your bathroom feel brand new again.
Maybe you want a crisp, bright white that screams clean, or perhaps you prefer a soft almond shade. Customizing the tint lets you match your current tile or wall paint without needing a full renovation.
This flexibility allows you to update your outdated style without breaking the bank or losing your mind. You gain the luxury of a designer look while keeping the classic bones of your older house.
| Feature | Your Concrete Benefit | |
|---|---|---|
| Non-porous coating | Much easier to clean and maintain | |
| Durable resin finish | Lasts for years without yellowing | |
| Fast application | Back to using your shower in hours | |
| Cost-effective | Keeps your budget intact for other projects |
Living in Marathon County comes with its own unique set of home maintenance challenges, like those long, chilly winters. When the temperature drops, you definitely want your home to be a place of pure repose and warmth.
Having a stunning, polished place to wash up after a cold day really makes a huge difference. With a population of 39,106, many neighbors here in Wisconsin are looking for ways to boost their property value.
Many homes in the 54401 area have beautiful, solid fixtures from decades ago that you simply cannot buy anymore. These older pieces are often built much stronger than the cheap plastic versions sold in stores today.
By choosing to refinish, you preserve that quality build while getting all the benefits of a modern look. It is a win-win situation where you save the environment from unnecessary waste and save money.
First, we set up professional ventilation to keep your indoor air quality safe while we work on the fumes. You do not have to worry about a thing because we bring all the necessary gear to protect your floors and walls.
Then, the masking process begins to ensure not a single drop of product lands where it should not. This thorough preparation step guarantees a clean, sharp look that makes your neighbors truly jealous.
Using a high-powered sprayer, we apply multiple thin layers of the coating to build up a thick, protective shield. This technique creates a smooth, glass-like texture that hides the history of those old scratches and stains.
After the coating cures, we buff it to a mirror finish that feels incredibly smooth to the touch. You will find yourself wanting to run your fingers over the surface just to see how soft it feels.
To keep that shine for years, you only need to use mild, non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloths. Avoid harsh chemicals or steel wool pads that could dull the surface over a long period.
This simple maintenance routine keeps your space feeling like a sanctuary of comfort and quiet. You will notice how much more you actually enjoy stepping into your morning shower when everything looks pristine.

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 Wausau Junction, 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.

The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
