A dull or chipped tub in Berlin 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 look at your stained tub every single morning and feel a bit disappointed by those ugly scratches. This annoying situation actually has a very simple fix that does not require ripping out your walls. By choosing to coat your existing fixture with a fresh, durable liquid acrylic layer, you save thousands of dollars while getting that shiny new look you deserve.
Think about how much a total bathroom tear-out actually costs these days. This smart alternative process gives you a sparkling clean surface in just a few hours. Our friendly team loves helping folks update their homes without the massive headaches of traditional construction.
Refinishing your cast iron or fiberglass basin represents the fastest way to bring back that bright shine. We are ready to visit your home and give you a free estimate on this transformation. You will love how easy it is to make your bathroom look modern again.
Most people assume that a chipped or faded surface means they have to throw the whole unit into a landfill. However, our specialized process bonds a high-tech coating directly to your cleaned porcelain or acrylic. This technique seals up those tiny pores where dirt and nasty mildew love to hide from your scrubbing brush.
Which means you can finally stop using those harsh chemical cleaners that hurt your lungs. A simple wipe with a soft sponge will keep the restored surface looking like new. On top of that, the entire process takes less than a day from start to finish.
We take pride in our careful preparation work because we know that a great bond requires a perfectly clean foundation. First, we strip away old DIY paint jobs and repair any deep chips. After that, we apply our premium bonding agents to ensure the new topcoat sticks forever.
Living in our lovely community of Green Lake County means appreciating good value and solid craftsmanship. With a median household income of $45,123, nobody wants to throw away hard-earned cash on overpriced plumbing bills. Choosing to recoat your tub lets you spend your money on other important things instead.
This beautiful area, home to about 5,428 residents, features many historic properties with gorgeous original fixtures. Sadly, those classic cast iron tubs often lose their original luster over the decades. Our restoration service preserves that vintage charm while giving you a clean, hygienic surface to soak in.
Whether you live near the Fox River or closer to the edges of the 54923 ZIP code, we travel right to your doorstep. You do not have to worry about hiring expensive plumbers or dealing with drywall dust. We handle everything with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
To give you a better idea of how we achieve these incredible results, we have broken down our daily workflow. We believe in being completely honest about how we work in your home. This table shows what you can expect when our team arrives to update your bathroom.
| Stage of Process | What We Do | Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Masking off the entire bathroom and setting up ventilation fans | Protects your walls, floors, and keeps odors out of your house |
| Surface Repair | Filling in deep scratches, chips, and cracks with special compounds | Creates a perfectly flat and smooth surface before coating |
| Acid Etching | Applying a professional etching agent to the old porcelain | Creates microscopic grooves so the new finish bonds permanently |
| Topcoat Application | Spraying multiple layers of high-gloss acrylic polymer | Delivers a deep, brilliant shine that looks like brand new porcelain |
Naturally, we take our time to make sure every single step is done perfectly. Skipping even a tiny detail during the cleaning phase can cause the new finish to peel later on. That is why we never rush our work and always treat your home with the utmost respect.
Once we finish spraying, we set up drying equipment to help the material cure quickly. You only need to wait a mere twenty-four hours before you can jump in and enjoy a warm bath. This rapid turnaround time is why so many busy families choose us over a messy remodel.
After we complete the job, keeping that beautiful surface clean is incredibly easy. You should avoid abrasive powders like Comet or Ajax because they will dull the shiny finish over time. Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or gentle foam sprays.
Using a soft microfiber cloth will keep the surface gleaming without causing micro-scratches. This simple routine protects your investment and ensures the bond remains strong for up to fifteen years. It is honestly that simple to maintain a gorgeous bathroom.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet bath mats sitting inside the tub for days. Moisture trapped under those suction cups can weaken the new coating over time. Just hang the mat up to dry after your shower, and your tub will thank you.
We believe in keeping things real with our customers instead of acting like slick salespeople. While this process is fantastic, it is important to know both sides of the coin before making your decision. Here is a quick look at what this service can and cannot do for your home.
On the positive side, you save up to 70% compared to the cost of buying a new tub and hiring a contractor. You also avoid the mess of demolition, which can drag on for weeks and leave your house dusty. Plus, it is a very eco-friendly choice because it keeps heavy cast iron out of local landfills.
However, you must remember that this is a premium coating, not a brand-new chunk of molded porcelain. If you drop a heavy iron wrench onto the surface, it can still chip just like the original material did. Also, if your current tub has massive holes rusted all the way through the metal, replacement might be your only real option.
Now that you know how simple and affordable this project can be, the next step is easy. We would love to come out to your property in Berlin, Wisconsin to take a look at your bathroom. We will inspect your fixture, explain your options, and hand you a written estimate completely free of charge.
Our local team is fully equipped to handle residential homes, rental properties, and commercial buildings alike. We show up on time, clean up our mess, and leave you with a smile on your face. You do not have to live with an ugly, stained bathroom for another single day.
Give us a shout today to schedule your convenient, no-pressure consultation. Let us show you how we can bring back that clean, fresh feeling to your home. We look forward to meeting you and transforming your space soon!
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 Berlin, 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.
