A dull or chipped tub in Billings Park 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.
Your old tub looks downright depressing these days. Scrubbing that stained surface with harsh chemicals probably hurts your arms and yields zero actual results. Fortunately, a professional crew can revive that faded fixture without the messy chaos of a full bathroom demolition.
This specialized service breathes new life into worn-out cast iron or fiberglass units. Homeowners across the neighborhood are discovering that they do not need to spend thousands on new plumbing. By choosing to renew the existing surface, you save cash and avoid weeks of construction dust.
Our team travels right to your home in this beautiful northern corner of the Badger State to deliver gorgeous results. You get a glossy, durable finish that looks like it just came off the showroom floor. Let us look at how this smart process works and why it makes sense for your home budget.
First, we must understand what actually happens during this transformation. Many people mistake this process for simple painting, but it is actually a highly technical bonding procedure. We use industrial-grade acid etchers and specialized primers to ensure the new coating fuses permanently with the old substrate.
This meticulous preparation prevents future peeling and keeps the surface looking pristine for years. After preparing the base, we spray on a high-performance acrylic polymer topcoat. The result is a smooth, non-porous barrier that resists impact and looks incredibly shiny.
To help you compare your options, here is a quick breakdown of how restoring compares to replacing your fixture:
| Factor | Fixture Restoration | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable | Extremely expensive |
| Time Required | 3 to 5 hours | 3 to 7 days |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal | High demolition dust |
| Lifespan | 10 to 15 years | 20 plus years |
Clearly, choosing to refresh what you already own wins in terms of convenience and cost. You can use your restored fixture within twenty-four hours of our departure. That speedy turnaround keeps your daily household routine running smoothly without major interruptions.
Maybe your current fixture functions fine but sports an ugly avocado green shade from the seventies. You do not have to live with that vintage eyesore anymore. Our premium coating system allows you to update that outdated color to a clean, modern bright white.
This simple aesthetic change instantly brightens up the entire room and makes it feel much larger. A fresh, clean look also boosts your overall home satisfaction every single morning. Your guests will definitely notice the sparkling clean difference when they visit.
Small surface imperfections are not just ugly to look at. Over time, tiny cracks in your fixture can harbor dangerous bacteria or leak water onto your subfloor. Our specialized filler compounds repair these damaged areas before we apply the final protective glaze.
This repair process stops structural water damage in its tracks and saves your subfloor. By sealing these microscopic gaps, you create a more hygienic environment for your family. Your daily bath time becomes a much safer and cleaner experience as a result.

First, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheeting to catch any overspray. This careful setup ensures that your walls, floors, and vanity remain completely clean and untouched. We also set up a heavy-duty ventilation system to pull any fumes directly outside your home.
Next, we strip away any old, failing DIY coatings and clean the surface with specialized industrial cleaners. This step removes decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits that block proper adhesion. Without this deep cleaning, the new finish would simply bubble up and peel off over time.
After that, we apply our proprietary bonding agent, which acts like chemical velcro between the old tub and new glaze. We then spray multiple coats of our advanced acrylic resin using professional high-volume, low-pressure equipment. Finally, we apply a bead of fresh silicone caulk around the perimeter to ensure a watertight seal.
Throwing an old, heavy cast iron fixture into a landfill is a terrible waste of resources. By restoring your existing unit, you keep heavy construction debris out of our local Wisconsin waste sites. This green choice reduces your overall carbon footprint while still giving you a brand-new look.
On top of that, you avoid the manufacturing resources required to create a brand-new acrylic liner. It is a win-win scenario for both your wallet and the local environment. You can feel proud of making a sustainable choice for your upcoming home improvement project.
Once we finish our work, cleaning your fixture becomes an absolute breeze. You no longer have to scrub hard with abrasive powders that scratch up the delicate surface. A simple wipe down with a mild liquid soap and a soft sponge keeps it shining brightly.
This smooth, non-porous finish actually repels soap scum and hard water stains naturally. Which means you spend less time cleaning bathrooms on the weekend and more time enjoying your life. Your daily chores become much simpler and far less physically exhausting.
Do not spend another day staring at a dingy, stained, or chipped bathing fixture. Our friendly team of skilled local technicians is ready to transform your bathroom into a sparkling oasis. We offer transparent pricing and honest advice so you can make the best decision for 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 Billings Park, 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.
