A dull or chipped tub in Borden 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.
If you look at your scratched tub and feel like it belongs in a museum of bad decor, you are not alone. You can actually fix that ugly finish without ripping your entire room apart for weeks on end.
Giving your old basin a fresh, shiny layer of high-tech polymer coating will transform the entire look of your space in record time. This process effectively makes your old, worn-out tub look brand new again for a fraction of the cost of a full demolition.
When you decide to update your bathroom, you probably worry about the mess, the noise, and the sheer cost of hiring plumbers and tilers. Instead of going through that nightmare, you can opt for a chemical bonding method that refreshes the existing structure. We arrive at your home in the 47106 area to assess the condition of your porcelain or fiberglass unit before we start the application.
This procedure involves a deep cleaning phase to strip away years of soap scum, hard water deposits, and oils that hide in the pores. Once the surface is perfectly clean, we apply a specialized bonding agent that allows the new coating to stick like glue for years to come. You gain a smooth, non-porous finish that resists stains and makes your morning cleanup routine much faster than before.
Living in a town with about 1,171 people means you value your hard-earned money and you want things done right the first time. Many of your neighbors here choose to refresh their existing fixtures because the median household income of $44,250 demands smart spending choices. Replacing a heavy cast iron basin requires professional labor, heavy equipment, and often the removal of doors or walls.
On the other hand, our specialized surface renewal takes only a single day to complete in most cases. You avoid the stress of living in a construction zone where dust covers every single item in your house. Because we focus on the surface rather than the plumbing, you skip the expensive permit fees and the long waits for contractors to show up.
| Feature | Your Concrete Benefit |
|---|---|
| Chemical bonding technology | Lasts for many years with simple care |
| Non-porous top layer | Prevents mold growth and stubborn stains |
| Rapid curing process | Use your bathroom again in just one day |
| Custom color options | Matches your existing tiles or wall paint perfectly |
Beyond the obvious financial savings, you get to choose exactly how your room looks by selecting from a wide palette of modern shades. Whether you prefer a crisp white or a modern soft gray, the result provides a sense of ease that makes relaxing in your tub feel much better. You no longer have to scrub at dark, permanent stains that have soaked into the old finish over the decades.
Maybe you are wondering how we determine the price for such a specialized service in the Borden area. We come out to your house, take a look at the specific wear on your fixture, and provide you with a clear, honest number. You do not have to worry about hidden fees or surprise costs popping up after we start working on the project.
During this visit, we check for any underlying cracks or structural issues that might need a little extra attention before we apply the coating. This transparency lets you know exactly what is happening with your home improvement investment. Since we know the local market well, we provide a price that is fair and competitive for our community.
Perhaps you have seen those kits at the local hardware store that promise professional results for twenty bucks. Honestly, those products are usually made of cheap resins that peel, chip, and yellow after only a few months of use. They lack the industrial strength catalysts that we use to ensure the coating remains bonded to your tub through temperature changes.
You deserve a surface that can handle the daily grind of family life without flaking off into your drain. We have seen way too many homeowners spend hours painting their tubs only to watch the finish wash away within a few weeks. By choosing a professional to handle this, you save yourself the wasted effort and the cost of having us fix the mess later.
Every person needs a space where they can unwind after a long day of working or taking care of errands. If your bathroom looks tired or outdated, it is hard to feel that sense of peace you truly deserve. By upgrading the central piece of your room, you create an environment that promotes comfort and serenity every single day.
You might be surprised by how a simple change in the luster and color of your tub impacts the lighting of the whole room. A bright, clean finish reflects light, which makes your bathroom look larger and more inviting to guests. Plus, you will be proud to show off your home to friends and family without needing to apologize for the condition of the fixtures.
First, think about the current state of your bathroom and what you want to achieve with your refresh. Then, consider the colors and styles that fit your personality and your home design. Once you feel ready to see what is possible, just reach out to request your free assessment for your project.
After that, we will schedule a time that fits your busy life to come by and look at the work involved. You will receive a detailed plan that explains how we will tackle the job from start to finish. Finally, you can sit back and let us handle the heavy lifting while you prepare to enjoy your beautiful new space.
Naturally, you might worry about the smell or the safety of the materials used in your home. We use modern, low-odor ventilation systems that keep the air clean while we work on your bathroom surfaces. You can feel confident that we prioritize the safety of your family and pets throughout every stage of the project.
Moreover, the materials reach their full hardness within a short period so you are not left with a lingering chemical scent for weeks. You get all the durability of industrial-grade coatings without having to evacuate your house for days on end. It is a win-win situation for you and your family as you look to upgrade your residence.
Once we finish our work, you will find that keeping your tub looking fantastic is incredibly simple and easy. Just avoid using harsh, abrasive cleaners or steel wool pads that could scratch the protective layer we applied. A soft cloth and a gentle, non-abrasive liquid cleaner will keep your surface looking pristine for a very long time.
You gain so much time back because you no longer need to spend your weekends scrubbing at deep stains. The non-porous nature of the finish means that grime simply slides right off the surface when you rinse it down. You essentially buy yourself more leisure time by choosing a low-maintenance solution for your home upgrades.
Now is the perfect time to stop staring at those imperfections and start planning for a bathroom you actually enjoy using. You have the power to change the atmosphere of your home without the massive stress of a total renovation. Every small detail counts when you are trying to build a space that feels right for you and your lifestyle.
Our team is ready to help you navigate the process and answer any lingering questions you might have about our methods. You can trust that we treat your home with the same care and respect as we would our own living spaces. Just reach out today to get your free estimate and start your journey toward a stunning, refreshed bathroom experience.
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 Borden, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
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.
