A dull or chipped tub in West Peoria 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.
Your old tub probably looks pretty rough after years of daily use. That ugly layer of grime and those stubborn stains just refuse to budge no matter how hard you scrub. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to fix this annoying eyesore.
By choosing a smart surface renewal process, you can save your sanity and your wallet. Our local team specialize in restoring tired, worn-out fixtures right in your home. This means you get a gorgeous, shiny wash basin without the headache of dealing with dusty construction crews.
We believe in keeping things simple and affordable for our hardworking neighbors. Actually, we are proud to offer a completely free estimate to help you plan your budget. Let us take a closer look at how this clever process works and why it makes so much sense for your home.
Many homeowners assume that buying a brand new basin is the only way to get a clean bathroom. However, they quickly realize that the purchase price of the fixture is just a tiny fraction of the total cost. You also have to pay for expensive plumbers, tile repair, and disposal fees to haul the old heavy cast iron away.
On top of that, the demolition process often damages your surrounding walls and flooring. This turns a simple weekend upgrade into a massive, stressful remodeling nightmare that drags on for weeks. Which means you are left without a working bathroom while the bills keep piling up on your kitchen table.
Instead of ripping everything apart, our specialized service coats your existing fixture with a durable, high-gloss finish. This clever method seals up microscopic pores where dirt and bacteria love to hide. Consequently, you get a beautiful surface that feels incredibly smooth and looks like it just came from the showroom floor.
First, we clean the area thoroughly using industrial strength cleaners to remove soap scum and mineral deposits. After that, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots so the foundation is completely flat. This crucial step ensures that the new coating bonds perfectly to the original porcelain or fiberglass.
Next, we apply a high-tech bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old surface and the new topcoat. Then, we spray multiple layers of a specialized acrylic coating using professional equipment for an even finish. This careful application prevents runs, bubbles, and uneven spots that amateur DIY kits always seem to leave behind.
Finally, we let the new finish cure so it hardens into a resilient, long-lasting protective barrier. This process restores the original luster and makes your daily cleaning routine a breeze. You will love how easily water slides off the fresh surface without leaving those annoying spots.
| Factors to Consider | Complete Replacement | Our Professional Refinishing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very high (often thousands) | Extremely affordable |
| Time to Complete | One to two weeks | Just a single day |
| Mess and Dust | Major demolition mess | Virtually none |
| Durability | Depends on material | Superb with proper care |
As you can see, choosing to restore your fixture saves you both time and hard-earned cash. This allows you to spend your money on other important household projects instead. Plus, you avoid the sheer exhaustion of managing a chaotic construction site in your private living space.
We love serving our quiet community located in Peoria County, which is home to about 4,731 residents. People here work hard for their money, especially with a median household income of around $48,171. Because of this, we always strive to provide top-notch service that fits comfortably within a realistic family budget.
Whether you live near the local parks or closer to the city borders, we are ready to assist you. Our team knows the common plumbing setups in these local neighborhoods, including the classic homes in ZIP code 61604. This local familiarity helps us get the job done quickly without any unexpected surprises or delays.
Choosing to renew your fixtures also keeps heavy, non-biodegradable materials out of our local Illinois landfills. This eco-friendly benefit means you can feel great about your choice to restore rather than discard. We love helping our community stay beautiful, one bathroom at a time...
To keep your renewed basin looking spectacular, you must avoid harsh abrasive cleaners. Bleach and abrasive scrubbing pads will scratch the shiny finish and dull the gloss over time. Instead, use mild dish soap or specialized foaming spray cleaners with a soft sponge.
Also, try to avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting on the rim. Constant standing water can slowly weaken the bond of any coating over several years. Simply wiping down the edges after your shower will keep the surface looking brand new for a very long time.
If you follow these simple care steps, your restored basin will easily last for a decade. This incredibly simple maintenance routine saves you hours of exhausting scrubbing every single week. You get to enjoy a clean, bright bathroom with only a fraction of the physical effort.
Are you ready to say goodbye to that ugly, stained wash area once and for all? Our friendly team is standing by to answer your questions and guide you through the process. We will visit your home, inspect your fixture, and provide a clear, no-obligation quote at zero cost to you.

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 Peoria, 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.
