A dull or chipped tub in Badger 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 probably makes you shudder every single morning. Fortunately, you can bypass the messy chaos of a full demolition by opting for a smart, modern resurfacing process instead. Our skilled local crew travels right to your home to restore that brilliant, glassy shine in just a few hours.
Many homeowners assume that a stained, scratchy tub requires a sledgehammer and a massive budget to fix. However, our specialized process coats your existing fixture with a highly durable, high-gloss liquid acrylic polymer. This advanced technique completely seals up old, porous surfaces where grime and mildew love to hide. Consequently, you get a sparkling clean basin that looks identical to a brand new installation from a showroom.
To give you a better idea of how this compares to a full replacement, we have put together a quick comparison table below.
| Factor to Consider | Full Replacement Option | Professional Surface Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Project Duration | Usually three to seven days | Completed in four to eight hours |
| Mess and Dust Level | Extremely high demolition debris | Virtually none with proper masking |
| Average Total Cost | Very expensive plumbing and tiling | Highly affordable and budget-friendly |
As you can see, choosing to renew what you already own saves you a mountain of cash and stress. On top of that, your original plumbing remains completely untouched, which prevents unexpected leaks down the road. This means you get to enjoy a gorgeous, refreshed space without the headache of hiring multiple expensive subcontractors.
Living in Roseau County means you value practical, high-quality solutions that do not drain your hard-earned bank account. For instance, did you know that the local median household income around here sits at about $44,063? Spending thousands of dollars on a simple bathroom remodel just does not make financial sense when a cheaper, superior option exists. Our neighbors appreciate getting premium results while keeping their hard-earned money in their pockets.
Indeed, our small-town community of 403 residents deserves the absolute best care and attention to detail. We treat every single home with the utmost respect, working quickly and cleaning up thoroughly before we leave. Whether you live right in the heart of the 56714 ZIP code or nearby, our mobile unit brings top-tier equipment straight to your doorstep. You will receive a stunning, durable finish that stands up to years of daily hot showers and bubble baths.
First, we meticulously clean the old surface using specialized acid-free cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This crucial step ensures that the new chemical bonding agents can grip the underlying material with maximum strength. After repairing any deep chips or rust spots with waterproof fillers, we mask off your entire bathroom to protect your walls and floors. Finally, we spray multiple coats of a premium topcoat using high-volume, low-pressure equipment for a factory-smooth result.
Surprisingly, this entire transformation takes less than a day, allowing you to use your bathroom again very quickly. This fast turnaround time keeps your daily routine running smoothly without any awkward disruptions. Additionally, the new non-porous barrier makes wiping away soap residue incredibly easy, saving you hours of intense scrubbing every week.
You might see cheap paint-on kits at your local hardware store and feel tempted to try it yourself over the weekend. Unfortunately, those retail store brush-on products lack the industrial-strength bonding agents that professional-grade chemical systems rely on. As a result, DIY projects almost always start peeling, blistering, and yellowing within just a few months of use. By hiring us, you secure a beautiful finish that looks pristine and remains firmly bonded for many years to come.
We believe in keeping things completely real with you, so it is important to understand what this process can and cannot do. On the positive side, it is incredibly fast, highly affordable, and saves perfectly good fixtures from ending up in a local landfill. Furthermore, you can customize the final look with different modern colors to match your updated decor. Which means you get total creative control over the aesthetic of your washing area.
On the flip side, this process is not a magical fix for a rusted-out basin that has completely lost its structural integrity. If your tub has massive, gaping holes right through the metal or fiberglass, you will eventually need to replace it. However, if your fixture is simply dull, stained, scratched, or outdated in color, our process is the absolute perfect remedy. We will always inspect your setup honestly and tell you if it is a good candidate for our services.
To keep your renewed basin looking like a shiny mirror, you must avoid using abrasive powder cleansers or harsh scrubbing pads. Instead, simply use mild liquid dish soaps or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners along with a soft microfiber cloth. This simple maintenance routine prevents microscopic scratches, preserving the brilliant luster of the surface indefinitely. Your daily cleaning chore suddenly becomes a quick, effortless breeze.
Are you ready to stop squinting at those ugly stains and finally enjoy your bathroom again? We would love to drive out to your property and provide a detailed, completely free quote tailored to your specific project. This friendly visit carries absolutely no obligation, giving you all the facts you need to make the right choice. Simply reach out to us today, and let us bring that brilliant, factory-fresh shine back to your home!
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 Badger, 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.
