All over Wichita 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.
Maybe your old wash tub looks like a relic from a scary movie with all those stains. Because of this, you might think you need to rip out the whole thing and start over. Naturally, that kind of project costs a small fortune and creates a mountain of dusty debris in your home.
Fortunately, our local team has a much better way to handle this headache. We specialize in restoring that old fixture right where it sits so you can save your hard-earned cash. Surface refinishing gives you a beautiful, shiny tub again without the high cost of a total remodel.
If you want to see how easy this process is, we offer a free quote to get you started. This lets you plan your budget without any pressure or hidden fees. Our friendly crew loves helping folks bring their bathrooms back to life with zero hassle.
First, we clean the surface with special solutions to remove years of soap scum and mineral deposits. After that, we repair any chips or deep scratches that ruin the look of your basin. This step ensures the new coating bonds perfectly to the original material underneath.
Next, we apply a high-tech primer that acts like superglue for the new finish. Consequently, the topcoat sticks forever instead of peeling off after a few hot baths. We use professional spray equipment to create a smooth, factory-like shine that looks brand new.
To help you understand the differences between your options, we put together this quick comparison table:
| Method | Average Cost | Time to Complete | Mess Factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Very High | 3 to 7 Days | Extremely Dusty |
| Plastic Liners | Medium-High | 1 to 2 Days | Moderate |
| Surface Coating | Low and Affordable | A Few Hours | Very Clean |
Since we live and work right here in this beautiful corner of the Sunflower State, we care about our neighbors. You might know that our local area, nestled in the western part of the state, has a population of zero residents according to some odd census sheets, but we know the hardworking families around here deserve top-notch service. With a solid median household income of about $66,000, folks in this region appreciate smart ways to save money while keeping their homes looking great.
On top of that, we serve the entire local community, including the main zip code 67861. Which means you do not have to worry about finding a reliable contractor who actually shows up on time. We bring all our own professional gear and treat your house with the utmost respect while we work.
Besides saving you tons of cash, our process only takes a single day to finish. This lets you get back to your normal routine without waiting weeks for plumbers to finish their noisy jobs. You get a gorgeous, clean space to wash up without the typical remodeling nightmares.
Many people ask us how we get the new surface to stay so shiny and durable over the years. Actually, the secret lies in our meticulous prep work and the quality of our bonding agents. We do not skip steps or use cheap spray cans from the local hardware store.
Once we finish the job, your basin will have a gorgeous glaze that resists stains and mold. This makes cleaning a breeze because dirt slides right off the slick surface. You just need a mild soap and a soft sponge to keep it looking pristine.
If you have an antique cast iron piece, you probably want to preserve its historic charm. Luckily, our restoration process works wonders on these heavy, classic fixtures. We can restore the interior to a bright white while leaving the exterior untouched or painting it to match your decor.
This saves you from the backbreaking labor of trying to haul a three-hundred-pound iron beast out of your house. Instead, we do all the hard work right in place. You get to keep your beautiful vintage piece and enjoy its renewed utility for decades.
When you start pricing out a brand new installation, the numbers get scary very quickly. You have to pay for the new fixture, the demolition, the disposal fees, and the expensive plumbing work. Sometimes, the workmen even have to tear down walls just to get the old unit out of the door.
In contrast, our restoration service costs a fraction of those crazy prices. This lets you spend your money on other important things, like family vacations or kitchen upgrades. We think keeping your hard-earned money in your pocket is always the smartest choice.
To give you a better idea of what to expect, here is a breakdown of the benefits you get with us:
| Feature of Our Service | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| No Demolition Needed | No dusty mess in your hallways |
| Fast 24-Hour Cure Time | Use your bathroom again the next day |
| Eco-Friendly Approach | Keeps heavy fixtures out of local landfills |

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.
