A dull or chipped tub in Willow Island 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 look at your stained tub every single morning and feel a bit disappointed. Scraping off old grime or staring at outdated colors can really ruin your mood before the day even starts. Fortunately, a highly clever resurfacing method exists to make that worn surface look brand new again in just a few hours. By choosing this smart updating option, you save thousands of dollars compared to a messy, full scale replacement project.
Our skilled local team travels right to your home in Dawson County to handle the entire process from start to finish. We take immense pride in helping homeowners fall in love with their bathrooms all over again. Because we believe in honest work, we always provide a completely free estimate before any project begins.
This process does not require ripping out your plumbing or tearing down your beautiful tile walls. Instead, we use professional grade compounds to bond a fresh, glossy protective layer directly over your existing fixture. This means you get a sparkling clean look without weeks of construction dust floating around your house.
Many people assume they have to throw away a durable cast iron or steel tub just because the original glaze looks dull or scratched. Actually, these older fixtures often have incredible bones and a heavy duty structure that modern plastic replacements simply cannot match. By choosing to restore the top coat, you preserve that classic durability while getting a pristine, brilliant white finish.
During the process, we meticulously clean the area to remove every trace of soap scum, body oils, and old silicone caulk. After that step, we apply a specialized etching agent to create microscopic pores on the old enamel. This critical preparation step ensures our high tech bonding agents grip the surface with maximum strength.
Once the prep work wraps up, we spray multiple coats of a premium acrylic polyurethane gloss. This material cures into a hard, non porous shield that resists impacts and looks incredibly sleek. You will love how easy it is to wipe clean, especially since dirt no longer has rough spots to cling to.
Buying a brand new fixture seems cheap at first glance when you look at the price tags in big box stores. However, the hidden costs of hiring plumbers, replacing broken tiles, and paying for disposal fees quickly drain your wallet. When you calculate those extra expenses, restoring the existing surface saves you up to seventy percent of the total cost.
Time is another massive factor to keep in mind for your busy household. A traditional bathroom remodel can easily drag on for a week or two, leaving you without a functioning space. In contrast, our advanced recoating process takes less than a single day, and you can start using your beautiful tub again very soon.
To help you compare your options clearly, we put together a simple breakdown of the two paths:
| Project Factor | Our Restoration Process | Full Replacement Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Average Duration | 4 to 6 Hours | 3 to 7 Days |
| Mess and Dust | Very Minimal | Extremely High |
| Plumbing Changes | None Required | Often Necessary |
| Overall Cost | Very Budget Friendly | Very Expensive |
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom using heavy protective paper and plastic sheeting to shield your floors and walls from any overspray. We also set up a powerful exhaust fan system with a flexible duct to pull fumes and dust directly out of your window. This setup keeps your indoor air clean and prevents odors from lingering in your hallways.
Next, we tackle any physical damage like deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks using a specialized waterproof filler. We sand these spots completely flat so the final finish looks absolutely seamless and smooth to the touch. This attention to detail is what separates a quick DIY attempt from a gorgeous, professional grade restoration.
Finally, we apply our signature topcoat using a professional HVLP spray gun system for an incredibly even application. We apply several thin, uniform layers to build up a durable depth that mimics original factory porcelain. Once we remove the masking tape and clean up our workspace, your bathroom looks completely transformed.
Yes, our advanced bonding agents work beautifully on a wide variety of materials, including classic cast iron, pressed steel, and modern fiberglass. Even if you have a worn out acrylic shower surround, we can apply our specialized coatings to make it look uniform and bright. This versatility makes the service perfect for older homes with unique fixtures.
We also make sure to use premium, commercial grade materials that do not contain highly toxic chemicals like methylene chloride. We care deeply about the safety of your family, your pets, and our hardworking technicians on every job site. You can rest easy knowing we take every safety precaution seriously while working in your home.
Taking care of your glossy new finish is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, porous surface. Since the new non porous layer keeps dirt on the very surface, you never need to use abrasive bleach powders or harsh scrubbing pads again. In fact, using those abrasive cleaners will dull the beautiful shine over time.
Instead, we recommend using mild, non abrasive liquid soaps and a soft microfiber cloth or a gentle sponge. Simply spray the surface down after use, give it a quick wipe, and rinse with warm water. This simple routine keeps the surface incredibly bright and extends its lifespan for many years to come.
Additionally, it is wise to avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting directly on the rim for long periods. If you use a bath mat, make sure to choose one without suction cups, as the constant pulling can stress the bond. These small habits ensure your investment stays looking fresh out of the showroom.

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 Willow Island, 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.
