A dull or chipped tub in Boise 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.
Are you tired of looking at that rusty tub in your Boise bathroom? Well, this local service lets you renew your bathing basin without buying a new one.
Now, nobody actually wants to rip out a heavy porcelain shell just because the finish looks dull. Fortunately, local professionals bring their spray guns right to your house to fix the mess.
First off, the technician scrubs your old basin until it shines like new. This deep cleaning removes all soap scum and hard water deposits.
After that, they apply a strong bonding agent to make the new topcoat stick really well. Which means you get a finish that lasts for years without peeling off.
Next comes the fun part where you pick a fresh color for your bathroom fixture. Most folks stick with classic white, but almond and biscuit are also pretty popular options.
Meanwhile, the pro masks off your surrounding tile to keep the overspray away from your walls. This careful prep work protects your bathroom and saves you from a massive cleanup headache later.
Buying a brand new tub usually costs thousands of dollars once you factor in demolition crews. By contrast, resurfacing your existing basin keeps cash safely in your pocket.
On top of that, you avoid tearing up your bathroom floorboards or damaging your plumbing lines. That kind of financial relief lets you spend your savings on other home upgrades instead.
Traditional bathroom remodels can turn your house into a construction zone for weeks at a time. However, this quick spraying method takes just a single day from start to finish.
Consequently, you can use your newly refreshed soaking tub almost immediately after the curing process finishes. That means zero hassle for your family.
Living in a bustling area with over two hundred thousand residents means housing values matter a lot. Upgrading your fixtures helps maintain your property value without spending a fortune.
Plus, with median household earnings sitting at a solid level, keeping repair costs low makes total sense. You want your home to look amazing while staying within your remodeling budget.
Whether you grab your mail in zip code 83701 or over in 83702, our mobile trucks travel everywhere locally. We also cover neighborhoods near 83703 and out toward 83704 without charging extra travel fees.
Therefore, getting your worn basin sprayed has never been easier for homeowners living in this scenic state. Just give us a call to check our daily schedule.
Many folks wonder if buying a plastic liner is better than spraying the original porcelain surface. Let us break down the differences so you can make a smart choice.
Liners can sometimes trap moisture underneath, which leads to mold growth and gross smells over time. Meanwhile, a freshly sprayed topcoat bonds directly to the original material to block out water completely.
The chemical coatings used during this trade have a pretty strong smell that lingers for a few hours. Fortunately, technicians use heavy-duty exhaust fans to blow those fumes right out your window.
By taking these safety steps, your house stays breathable while the fresh layers dry up nicely. You just need to keep the bathroom door closed until the smell fades away completely.
Even though the surface dries to the touch quickly, it takes a few days to harden fully. Therefore, you should avoid dropping heavy shampoo bottles or placing abrasive scrubbers in your basin right away.
Following these simple care instructions guarantees your new finish stays glossy for a very long time. That translates to zero headaches and maximum relaxation during your evening baths.
Every bathroom project is a bit different depending on the current condition of your porcelain. If your tub has deep chips or rust spots, the worker must spend extra time doing repairs.
Despite those minor prep challenges, the overall investment remains remarkably affordable compared to a full gut job. You get a gorgeous result without draining your bank account.
Before the technician arrives at your house, you need to clear out all personal items from the room. Remove your bath mats, shampoo bottles, and decorative soap dishes to give the pro plenty of working space.
Additionally, keeping your pets locked in another room ensures they do not wander into the wet spray area. These tiny precautions make the job go much smoother for everyone involved.

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 Boise, 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.

The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
