A dull or chipped tub in Yelm 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.
That ugly, chipped basin in your washroom is probably driving you crazy every single day.
Thankfully, you do not have to spend a fortune on a messy tear-out to fix this problem.
Our local crew specializes in reviving those worn-out surfaces right in your home to make them look brand new.
By choosing this smart update, you skip the massive headache of hiring a plumber and dealing with broken tiles.
This budget-friendly alternative bonds a super-tough, shiny new finish right over your existing cast iron or fiberglass fixture.
We love helping folks get that clean, sparkling look without the weeks of construction dust and chaotic noise.
If you want to see how easy it is, we are happy to come over and give you a free estimate on the spot.
You will save thousands of dollars compared to a full remodel while still getting that fresh showroom shine.
Let us walk you through how this works so you can make the best choice for your home and your wallet.
First, we clean the old fixture with special industrial prep agents to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits.
This critical step ensures the new coating sticks like glue to the original material so it won't peel later.
Many cheap DIY kits skip this part, which is why those home jobs usually fail within a few short months.
Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks using high-grade structural fillers.
This restores the smooth contour of your wash basin so the final surface feels completely seamless to the touch.
You will not even be able to tell where the damage used to be once we finish our careful prep work.
After that, we apply a specialized bonding agent followed by several coats of a high-tech acrylic polymer.
This liquid compound cures into an incredibly hard, glossy shell that mimics the look of expensive porcelain.
As a result, your fixture gains a beautiful, easy-to-clean barrier that resists stains and scratches for years to come.
Choosing to renew your surface instead of replacing it keeps heavy, non-biodegradable materials out of our local landfills.
This eco-friendly decision lets you do your part for the environment while keeping your hard-earned money in your pocket.
Plus, the entire process takes less than a single day, meaning your bathroom is back in action almost immediately.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple breakdown of how these choices stack up.
This table shows why keeping your current tub and giving it a fresh coat is the smartest move for most homeowners.
| Factor to Consider | Full Replacement | Our Specialty Refinishing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Cost | Very high ($3,000 - $6,000+) | Incredibly low (usually under $600) |
| Time to Complete | One to two weeks of mess | Only four to six hours |
| Demolition Required | Yes, tearing out walls and plumbing | None, the fixture stays in place |
Another great perk is how easy the new non-porous finish is to keep clean.
You can finally throw away those harsh abrasive scrubbing powders that scratch up old surfaces and collect grime.
A simple wipe down with a mild soap and a soft sponge keeps it looking brand new with zero extra effort.
Our friendly crew lives and works right here in the shadow of Mount Rainier, serving the beautiful community of Yelm, Washington.
We know the local water conditions, which often carry minerals that can stain and dull your household fixtures over time.
Because we understand these local challenges, we use specific materials designed to resist that tough Pacific Northwest water wear.
With a local median household income of about $65,377, we know that spending five grand on a bathroom remodel is a tough pill to swallow.
Our affordable services let you upgrade your space without draining your savings account or putting giant charges on your credit cards.
We take immense pride in helping our neighbors in the 98597 ZIP code area get gorgeous bathrooms they can actually afford.
When you work with us, you are supporting a local business that cares about every single home in this growing community of 8,772 people.
We treat your house with the utmost respect, taping off your entire bathroom and using heavy-duty exhaust fans to keep odors out.
Our goal is to leave your home cleaner than we found it, with nothing left behind but a sparkling, gorgeous washbasin.
To ensure your beautiful new finish lasts for a decade or more, you must treat it with just a little bit of love.
Never use suction-cup bathmats on the new surface, because pulling them up can slowly weaken the bond of the coating.
Instead, we can apply a permanent slip-resistant texture to the bottom of the basin during our application process for your safety.
You should also avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or metal shaving cream cans sitting directly on the ledge.
These items can trap moisture underneath them, which might eventually dull the glossy shine of your new finish.
Using a simple hanging shower caddy is a great way to protect your investment and keep your space looking organized.
Lastly, make sure you fix any dripping faucets right away to prevent water from constantly wearing down one spot.
Consistent drips can eventually erode even the toughest finishes, whether they are brand new or original porcelain.
Taking care of these small plumbing issues early will keep your bathroom looking fantastic and save you water too.
There is absolutely no reason to live with an embarrassing, stained bathroom fixture for another single day.

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 Yelm, 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.
