A dull or chipped tub in Aragon 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 can instantly transform your dingy bathroom into a sparkling oasis today. Everyone deserves a clean and beautiful space to wash away the stress of a long day. If your current tub looks stained, chipped, or just plain outdated, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy replacement project.
Instead, a specialized local craftsman can spray a durable new surface right over your existing fixture. This clever restoration method saves you heaps of cash while delivering a brilliant, glossy finish. Let us look at how this smart home improvement alternative works wonders for your property.
First, ripping out an old cast iron or steel tub usually requires smashing walls and destroying your beautiful floor tiles. That heavy demolition work quickly turns a simple update into an expensive, multi-day construction disaster. You might also run into hidden water damage or plumbing issues behind the drywall that scream for pricey repairs.
Furthermore, hiring plumbers, tile layers, and trash haulers will drain your wallet faster than a wide-open drainpipe. This headache keeps your home in complete chaos for weeks on end. Luckily, you can bypass all that stress by choosing a smart surface renewal instead.
Which means you get to keep your sturdy, original fixture while making it look brand new. Many older units possess a classic charm and heavy-duty build quality that modern plastic replacements simply cannot match. Preserving that craftsmanship while updating its look is the ultimate win-win scenario for smart homeowners.
To begin, a skilled technician carefully cleans your existing tub with specialized acid-free solutions to remove decades of soap scum, hard water mineral deposits, and body oils. After achieving a perfectly clean surface, they patch up any deep chips, rust spots, or unsightly scratches using industrial-strength fillers. This step ensures the final coat lies completely flat and smooth.
Next, they apply a high-tech bonding agent that acts like chemical velcro to fuse the new coating to the old porcelain or fiberglass. Without this critical step, the new finish would peel off within a few short months. Our team takes extra care during this preparation phase because it dictates the lifespan of your beautiful new surface.
Finally, we spray several thin, even layers of a premium acrylic urethane topcoat using professional high-volume low-pressure spray equipment. This material cures into a rock-hard, high-gloss shell that looks identical to brand-new porcelain. You get a dazzling shine that resists stains and makes cleaning an absolute breeze.

| Time to Complete | 1 to 2 Weeks of Mess | 1 to 2 Days | Just a Few Hours |
| Durability | Excellent but Costly | Can Trap Water underneath | Superb with Proper Care |

Living out in the gorgeous, rugged landscapes of Western New Mexico brings so much peace and quiet to your daily life. Our tiny but proud community of Aragon NM, nestled within the beautiful Cibola County, boasts a cozy population of around 94 friendly folks. Residents here appreciate honest, hard work and practical solutions that do not break the bank.
Since we experience a wide range of seasonal temperatures in the 87820 ZIP code area, your home fixtures go through a lot of expansion and contraction. Our premium coatings are specially formulated to flex with these temperature shifts without cracking or peeling. We understand the unique needs of local homes and always deliver results that stand up to our local climate.
On top of that, with a local median household income that requires careful budgeting, spending thousands on a simple bathroom remodel just does not make sense. Saving money on home maintenance allows you to invest in other important aspects of your life. We love helping our neighbors achieve beautiful homes through affordable craftsmanship.
This process saves you up to 75% of the total cost compared to a traditional tear-out remodel. This extra money stays right in your pocket for future family adventures or other home upgrades. You also avoid the massive mess of drywall dust and broken tile debris floating through your living spaces.
On top of the financial perks, this service is highly eco-friendly because it keeps heavy cast iron and fiberglass tubs out of our local landfills. Reducing waste is a great way to protect our beautiful desert environment for future generations. You can feel proud of making a sustainable, green choice for your property.
Additionally, the smooth, non-porous finish of a renewed tub prevents mold, mildew, and nasty bacteria from taking root in microscopic crevices. This hygienic benefit makes your bathroom a much safer, cleaner space for your children and grandchildren. A simple wipe down with a mild soap is all it takes to maintain that brilliant luster.
To protect your investment, you should always avoid harsh abrasive cleaners like bleach, steel wool, or gritty scrubbing powders. These rough materials will micro-scratch the glossy topcoat and cause it to look dull over time. Instead, stick to gentle liquid dish soaps or specialized non-abrasive bathroom cleaners.
Now, you should also make sure to fix any leaky faucets promptly because constant dripping can wear down the finish prematurely. It is also wise to avoid leaving wet bath mats sitting inside the tub after use. Taking these minor precautions ensures your fixture remains bright and beautiful for over a decade.
Which means you get to enjoy a gorgeous, sparkling bathroom every single day without any stress. Our team is always happy to share these simple maintenance secrets with you during our visit. We want you to love your home and get the absolute most value out of our professional services.

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 Aragon, 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.
