A dull or chipped tub in Auburn 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 actually get a sparkling, fresh bathroom surface without spending thousands of dollars on a messy demolition. Our local team comes right to your home to spray a durable, high-gloss new finish over your existing fixture. This simple process saves you heaps of cash and takes less than a single day to finish.
If you want to see how affordable this transformation is, we would love to give you a free estimate today. Our friendly crew handles everything from deep cleaning to the final topcoat so you do not have to lift a finger. You will get a gorgeous, shiny wash basin that looks brand new without the headache of hiring a plumber.
First of all, ripping out a heavy cast iron or steel basin often requires smashing your beautiful wall tiles. This means you end up paying for expensive drywall repairs, new tiling, and heavy-duty plumbing adjustments. The cost of a simple replacement quickly skyrockets into a major construction project that leaves you without a shower for weeks.
On top of that, cheap modern replacements made of thin plastic do not hold heat well and feel flimsy under your feet. Keeping your original, sturdy fixture is almost always the smarter choice for your wallet and your peace of mind. Our specialized restoration service bonds a thick, synthetic porcelain layer directly onto your old surface to seal up every single scratch.
Naturally, this high-tech coating prevents future rust leaks and stops nasty mold from growing in the deep cracks. You get to enjoy a smooth, non-porous barrier that wipes clean with just a simple splash of soapy water. It is the ultimate shortcut to a bright, clean washroom that makes you feel proud of your home again.
Before we even open our spray guns, we scrub the entire area with industrial-strength cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum. Next, we apply a special molecular bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old enamel and our new coating. This step is super critical because it ensures the fresh paint will never peel or bubble up when you take hot showers.
To give you a better idea of how this compares to other options, check out this quick comparison table:
| Feature | Our Refinishing Method | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden fees |
| Time to Complete | Finished in just 4 to 6 hours | Takes several days or even weeks |
| Mess and Dust | Virtually none, we seal the room | Tons of drywall dust and broken tile debris |
| Lifespan | Can easily last 10 to 15 years | Varies depending on material quality |
After the bonding agent dries, we spray multiple layers of an advanced acrylic urethane finish that cures into a rock-hard shell. This material mimics the rich look of classic ceramic while offering incredible durability against daily drops and scratches. It is how we achieve that luxury aesthetic without the premium price tag of a showroom remodel.
Because these professional coatings have a strong smell during application, we set up powerful exhaust fans to pull all the fumes outside. We carefully tape off your walls, floors, and vanity with heavy protective paper to ensure zero overspray lands on your property. Our technicians treat your house with the utmost respect, leaving the work area cleaner than we found it.
Once we pack up our gear, you only have to wait about twenty-four hours before you can jump in and enjoy a warm bath. This rapid curing time means your daily routine suffers almost no disruption, which is perfect for busy households with only one bathroom. You get your privacy back in a flash, along with a gleaming fixture that looks absolutely stunning.

Our service area covers all the local neighborhoods within the ZIP codes of 98001, 98002, 98071, and 98092. Because we are local, we can easily drive out to your property in this beautiful part of Washington state to look at your project in person. We love helping our neighbors upgrade their homes without draining their savings accounts on overpriced contractors.
By choosing a local business, you get personalized service and a team that stands firmly behind the quality of their craftsmanship. We know the local water conditions and how they affect bathroom surfaces over time, so we use coatings designed to resist staining. You can trust us to deliver a flawless finish that stands up to the damp Pacific Northwest weather.
If you are currently shivering at the sight of an avocado green, mustard yellow, or dusty pink basin, we have great news. We can easily transform those funky retro colors into a clean, modern bright white or a soft biscuit tone. This color update instantly brightens up the entire room, making your bathroom feel twice as large and much more inviting.
Furthermore, this simple color change can significantly boost the resale value of your property if you plan to sell soon. Buyers love seeing clean, updated bathrooms, and they will never guess that your gorgeous tub is actually several decades old. It is one of the smartest home improvement investments you can make for high returns.
To be completely fair, we like to give our customers the straight facts instead of just sweet-talking them into a sale. The main benefit is obviously the massive savings, which can easily top seventy percent compared to a traditional bathroom remodel. Plus, you avoid the stress of having strangers tearing down walls in your home for a week...
However, you must remember that a resurfaced basin requires a little bit of gentle care to keep it looking shiny and beautiful. You cannot use abrasive scrubbing powders, steel wool, or harsh bleach cleaners, as these can dull the glossy finish over time. Sticky bath mats with suction cups are also a bad idea because they can pull at the coating when you lift them.
Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or gentle liquid cleaners along with a soft microfiber cloth to wipe the surface down. If you follow these simple guidelines, your newly coated fixture will look incredibly shiny and fresh for up to fifteen years. It is a very small trade-off for a gorgeous bathroom that did not break your bank account.
Now is the perfect time to stop ignoring that rusty, stained fixture and finally do something about it. Our friendly team is standing by to answer all your questions and help you schedule a convenient time for an on-site visit. We will take a look at your tub, explain our process, and hand you a detailed price quote with absolutely zero obligations.
Simply reach out to us today to request your free quote and take the first step toward the bathroom of your dreams. You will be amazed at how quick, clean, and affordable our professional resurfacing process really is. Let us help you fall in love with your home all over again!
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 Auburn, 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.
