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.
Looking to refresh your gross washroom without spending thousands? Real local refinishing pros bring your old basin back to life fast with a durable finish that saves your bank account. Get your free quote today!
First, let us talk about that ugly basin in your house that makes you cringe every single time you step into the shower. Naturally, years of harsh soaps, dirty shoes, and bleach leave behind a rough surface that holds onto nasty soap scum. Honestly, replacing that massive porcelain beast takes tons of time, creates heavy dust everywhere, and tears up your floor tiles.
Consequently, thousands of clever homeowners choose to spray on a super tough new finish right over the existing cast iron or acrylic. Straightforwardly, this smart process seals up deep microscopic cracks where tiny germs like to hide out and multiply. Furthermore, you end up getting a silky smooth shine that looks brand new for a fraction of full replacement price.
Indeed, saving cash remains top priority when dealing with home repairs around central Story County. Surprisingly, ripping out a heavy cast iron fixture forces you to pay expensive plumbers and tile installers. Because of this, total costs quickly soar past several grand just for a basic washroom upgrade in our small town of 540 residents.
By contrast, our specialized resurfacing method costs way less while delivering an incredible makeover in just one simple afternoon. On top of that, homes around the 50278 area code gain instant polish without the loud noise of heavy sledgehammers. Eventually, you keep more hard-earned money in your pocket while increasing your total house value effortlessly.
Instead of throwing money away on tear-outs, look at how resurfacing compares to buying all new fixtures for your space.
| Upgrade Option | Average Cost | Time Spent | Mess Factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | $3,500 - $8,000 | 3 to 7 Days | Extremely High |
| Pro Surface Refinishing | $350 - $650 | 4 to 6 Hours | Almost Zero |
To begin, we carefully scrub away decades of built-up grime, greasy oils, and old calcium deposits using strong industrial cleaners. Next, our crew fixes annoying chips, deep scratches, and rust spots with ultra strong epoxy fillers. So, your old basin becomes totally flat and incredibly smooth once again...
Afterwards, we put down specialized bonding agents that chemically fuse our high-tech liquid acrylic directly to your old porcelain base layer. Therefore, the brand new finish will never peel off or bubble up when filled with boiling hot bath water. Finally, we spray multiple glossy topcoats that cure rapidly into an extremely tough shield against daily wear.
Additionally, this shiny shield stands up against harsh pet bath times, spilled hair dyes, and dropped heavy shampoo bottles. So, your household gets long-lasting luxury without sacrificing practical durability or ease of cleaning.
Basically, we treat your family home with maximum respect from the minute we park our work trucks outside your driveway. For instance, we bring heavy exhaust fans to vent out strong chemical fumes through nearby open windows during application. Thus, your living room stays clean, fresh, and free of annoying dust throughout the entire workday.
Meanwhile, local families earning near the median household income of $61,000 deserve honest prices without tricky hidden fees added later. Which means our clear estimate stays exactly the same from start to finish without surprise extra charges on your final bill. Besides, we complete almost every project in under six hours so you can shower again the very next day.
Initially, most clients pick our clean bright white finish because it instantly makes small rooms feel open and bright. However, we also offer custom color matching if you want modern light gray, warm biscuit, or unique vintage shades. Meaning, your personal style shines through without needing to buy expensive designer fixtures from far away big box stores.
Furthermore, we can apply a subtle non-slip texture to the floor bottom during the final coating step. Unquestionably, this added safety feature stops dangerous slips and scary falls for young kids and elderly grandparents alike. Plus, you will never need those gross rubber bath mats that trap dark mold underneath them ever again.
Naturally, keeping your revamped basin looking fantastic requires zero fancy chemicals or backbreaking scrub brushes. Simply rinse the surface with plain warm water and wipe it down using a soft micro-fiber sponge after use. After that, non-abrasive dish soaps easily remove body oils without scratching down the slick gloss glaze.
Conversely, stay away from harsh bleach powders, rough scouring pads, and steel wool that act like liquid sandpaper on smooth acrylic coatings. Also, fix dripping water faucets quickly so steady drops do not wear away the glossy top layer over long periods. Truly, these easy care steps help your beautiful washroom restoration stay pristine for well over a decade.
Now, getting started on your dream washroom upgrade does not require complicated paperwork or long waiting lists. First, reach out to us over the phone to tell us a little bit about your current basin setup. Immediately, our friendly team reviews your details and prepares a totally free estimate with no annoying high-pressure sales tricks attached.
Then, we schedule a brief convenient time to inspect your bathroom and double check all the project measurements in person. After that, you pick your favorite color sheen, select optional non-slip textures, and choose a workday that fits your busy life. Lastly, sit back and relax while our crew turns your tired old tub into an absolute masterpiece!
So, stop staring at those embarrassing yellow stains and rusty chips every time you go wash your hands. Contact us right now to grab your completely free estimate and transform your washroom for cheap today!
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 Zearing, 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.
