All over Wells County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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 can actually get a sparkling, fresh tub surface without ripping out your walls.

Luckily, local experts who specialize in spraying a durable new coating over your existing fixture offer a much better path.
This smart alternative saves you time and keeps cash in your pocket. By choosing a professional resurfacing process, you avoid the noisy, dusty chaos of traditional remodeling. Our team travels straight to your home to handle the entire transformation in just a few hours.
We want to help you fall in love with your washroom all over again. Our friendly technicians are ready to visit your property and give you a free estimate. You will see exactly how simple and affordable this upgrade can be for your household.
Many folks wonder how we make old cast iron or fiberglass look brand new. The secret lies in a careful chemical bonding process that fuses a fresh, high-gloss acrylic coating to your worn-out basin. First, we strip away old residues, oils, and previous DIY paint jobs that went wrong.
Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks using specialized fillers. This step ensures the final finish looks completely flat and flawless. After prepping the area, we apply an industrial-strength primer designed to grip the old material tightly.
Finally, we spray on several coats of a top-tier aliphatic acrylic polyurethane. This material creates a beautiful, non-porous shield that resists water and daily wear. The result looks exactly like a brand-new porcelain fixture from a showroom.
| Feature of the Service | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| No plumbing demolition | Saves you thousands in labor costs |
| Completed in under five hours | You can use your shower the next day |
| Seals porous surfaces | Prevents mold growth and makes cleaning easy |
| Dozens of color options | Matches your existing bathroom decor perfectly |
Choosing this route means you keep your sturdy, vintage cast iron fixture. Older tubs actually hold heat much better than modern, cheap plastic replacements. Preserving your original basin is both an eco-friendly choice and a win for your home value.
Additionally, you will spend far less time scrubbing on your hands and knees. The new, slick topcoat resists soap scum and grime beautifully. A quick wipe with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner is all it takes to keep it shining.
Think about the peace of mind you get from avoiding unreliable remodeling timelines. Traditional bathroom tear-outs often drag on for weeks because of hidden pipe issues. Our specialized service gets in and out quickly, letting you return to your normal routine without delay.
You might see cheap roll-on paint kits at your local hardware store. While they look tempting, these retail products usually peel and flake within a few months. They lack the molecular bonding agents that professional-grade equipment and chemicals provide.
Furthermore, inhaling those strong fumes without professional ventilation masks is highly dangerous. Our crew brings heavy-duty exhaust fans to safely pipe all vapors out of your house. We protect your indoor air quality while ensuring a smooth finish free of brush strokes.
If a retail coat fails, you have to pay even more to strip it off. Doing it right the first time saves you frustration and extra costs. Let our experienced hands handle the prep work, spraying, and cleanup for a perfect result.

When you contact us, we schedule a convenient time to assess your bathroom. We look closely at the current state of your wash basin to identify any structural issues. You will receive a clear, honest explanation of what needs to be done.
Once we begin the work, we carefully mask off your floor, walls, and fixtures. This step prevents any overspray from drifting onto your vanity, toilet, or tilework. We also set up our specialized ventilation system to keep your home smelling clean.
After the final topcoat is applied, we remove all our masking tape and protective plastic. We leave your bathroom spotless, with only a gleaming, restored wash basin left behind. You just need to wait twenty-four hours for the curing process to finish before taking a relaxing soak.
Caring for your newly glazed surface is incredibly simple and straightforward. You must avoid harsh abrasive powders, bleach, or rough scrubbing pads. These tough chemicals can dull the beautiful, glossy finish over time.
Instead, use gentle liquid dish soaps or specialized foam spray cleaners. Using a soft microfiber cloth will keep the surface smooth and shiny for up to fifteen years. This small habit protects your investment and keeps the bathroom looking pristine.
We also recommend fixing any leaky faucets as soon as possible. Constant dripping in one spot can eventually wear down even the strongest industrial coatings. Taking care of your plumbing helps your gorgeous new finish last for decades.
You do not have to live with an ugly, stained, or hard-to-clean bathroom any longer. Our professional surface restoration services offer the ultimate balance of affordability and beauty. We love transforming dull spaces into bright, clean oases that you can show off to guests.

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.

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