A dull or chipped tub in West Linn 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.
Maybe you look at your bathroom every morning and just sigh. That tired, outdated tub with the chipped surface and the weird 1970s color is staring right back at you. Well, you do not have to spend a fortune or rip out your walls to fix this annoying eyesore anymore.
Instead of dealing with dusty demolition, you can choose a smart, budget-friendly option. This process breathes brand-new life into your existing setup by applying a fresh, high-gloss protective coating right over the old surface. It completely erases those ugly stains, deep scratches, and outdated colors in just a few hours.
Our local team specializes in this exact craft, bringing top-tier materials and years of hands-on experience straight to your doorstep. We want to help you fall in love with your home again, which is why we offer completely free, no-obligation project estimates. You get to see exactly how affordable a beautiful bathroom upgrade can be without any stressful sales pressure.
Actually, many people confuse this highly specialized process with simple DIY painting kits you buy at the hardware store. Those cheap retail kits usually peel off within a few months because they lack the professional-grade bonding agents required for wet environments. Our heavy-duty industrial coatings fuse directly with your original cast iron, steel, or fiberglass on a molecular level.
This means your renewed surface will easily withstand years of hot baths, heavy scrubbing, and daily family wear. By choosing this smart alternative, you save yourself thousands of dollars compared to a traditional replacement. You also avoid the absolute nightmare of having contractors track plaster dust through your hallways for weeks on end.
| Feature of Restoration | Concrete Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Molecular Bonding Agents | Prevents peeling and ensures your tub stays beautiful for up to a decade. |
| High-Gloss Acrylic Topcoat | Creates a brilliant shine that is incredibly easy to wipe clean. |
| Same-Day Completion | You can use your upgraded shower again in just twenty-four hours. |
| Eco-Friendly Refinishing | Keeps heavy cast iron out of local landfills and saves precious resources. |
On top of the financial savings, the sheer convenience of this method is truly unbeatable. Most homeowners are shocked to learn that we complete the entire transformation in a single afternoon. You do not have to hire expensive plumbers, tile setters, or drywall repair crews to get a pristine, modern look.
Living in this beautiful corner of the Pacific Northwest means we appreciate both quality craftsmanship and smart financial decisions. Our lovely community of 26,511 residents boasts a strong median household income of $104,061, which shows how much we value maintaining our beautiful properties. Whether you own a classic mid-century home or a newer property near the Willamette River, keeping your fixtures pristine is key to preserving your home equity.
If you live in the 97068 ZIP code, you know how hard our local water can be on porcelain and acrylic. Mineral deposits build up over time, creating stubborn gray and orange stains that simply refuse to budge no matter how hard you scrub. Our advanced restoration process seals those porous areas, making your daily cleanup chores a total breeze.
Furthermore, we understand the unique architectural styles of this historic region. From vintage clawfoot tubs to modern built-in alcove models, we know exactly how to prep and treat every unique material. We treat your home with the utmost respect, utilizing advanced exhaust systems to safely vent all odors outside during the application process.
To begin, the secret to a flawless finish always lies in the meticulous preparation work. We never just spray over dirty surfaces, because that is a recipe for instant failure and bubbling. First, we use specialized cleaners to strip away old soap scum, body oils, and stubborn hard water deposits.
Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or structural cracks using heavy-duty underwater fillers. This step ensures the underlying foundation is completely smooth and structurally sound before any coating is applied. Finally, we apply a proprietary etching agent that creates microscopic pores for our bonding primer to grip onto.
Now, you are not stuck with just one standard shade of white when you work with us. We offer a gorgeous variety of colors, ranging from classic bright white to soft biscuits and modern grays. This lets you match your existing toilet and sink perfectly without having to replace those items too.
Which means you can customize your bathroom aesthetic to match your exact personal style. The finished product looks so glossy and smooth that your guests will swear you bought a brand-new tub. Plus, the non-porous nature of the new topcoat naturally resists mold and mildew growth in our damp climate.
Let us be completely honest about what a full bathroom demolition actually entails. To replace a built-in tub, a contractor must rip out the surrounding tile, modify the plumbing, and sometimes widen the doorway just to get the old fixture out. This process easily escalates into a multi-thousand-dollar headache that leaves you without a working bathroom for days or weeks.
Moreover, older homes often hide nasty surprises behind their walls, like rotted wood framing or outdated pipe layouts. Once you open up those walls, you are legally required to bring everything up to modern building codes. Choosing our surface renewal service bypasses all of these stressful, expensive surprises entirely.
With our streamlined service, you get the exact same visual result for a tiny fraction of the cost. We do not touch your walls, your plumbing, or your flooring, which eliminates the risk of accidental water damage. It is the ultimate shortcut to a luxurious, clean-looking bathroom without the typical renovation anxiety.
Once we finish our work, caring for your restored fixture is incredibly simple. You should always avoid abrasive bleach powders or harsh scrubbing pads that can scratch the protective topcoat. Instead, simple dish soap or mild liquid cleaners will keep that brilliant shine looking brand-new for years.
This saves you money on expensive specialty cleaning chemicals while protecting your skin from harsh fumes. We also recommend wiping the surface down with a soft towel after use to prevent mineral buildup from our local water supply. Following these easy guidelines ensures your investment stays beautiful and functional for a very long time.
Remember, we stand behind our workmanship with a solid warranty to give you absolute peace of mind. We are proud of the durable results we deliver to our neighbors, and we want you to feel completely confident in your choice. If you ever have questions about maintenance, our friendly local team is always just a quick phone call away.

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 West Linn, 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.
