All over Bourbon County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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.
Ah, those old worn-out porcelain basins in our bathrooms can sure look pretty nasty after a few decades of daily scrubbin! You do not have to rip out the whole heavy thing just to make your washroom shine bright like new again. Request a free estimate today to save tons of hard-earned cash!
Honestly, taking out a cast iron tub is a total nightmare that ruins your drywalls and floor tiles. Additionally, swinging a sledgehammer in a tiny space usually ends up breaking expensive plumbing lines inside your walls. Surprisingly, spraying a fresh modern coating right over the tired existing surface fixes everything in just a single afternoon!
Actually, my uncle tried yanking his old green wash basin out a few years ago and spent thousands fixing his ruined hallway. So, learning from his huge mess made me realize that refreshing the surface is way smarter for your wallet. Consequently, you get a clean sparkling finish that lasts for years without any of that messy demolition drama.
Furthermore, this smart fix seals up those tiny microscopic pores where ugly mildew loves to hide and grow. Naturally, scrubbing dirty grout lines becomes a thing of the past once the smooth glossy topcoat gets fully cured. Thus, you save hours of intense physical labor every single weekend when cleaning house.
Look, nobody likes dealing with a giant construction zone right in the middle of their family living space for weeks. Fortunately, our quick spray application process lets you use your shower again in just forty-eight short hours! Therefore, your daily routine stays completely normal while your home gets a massive cosmetic upgrade.
Indeed, local houses around Bourbon County, Kansas (KS), USA often have those heavy sturdy fixtures built back in the day. Specifically, covering areas under ZIP code 66701, these solid classic pieces are way higher quality than modern cheap plastic inserts. For this reason, keeping your original heavy tub while making it look brand new is the absolute best move.
Moreover, saving money on fixture replacement leaves plenty of cash in your bank account for other fun home updates. Besides, local families with median household incomes around forty-eight thousand dollars appreciate getting huge value out of their existing property features. Ultimately, your washroom looks like a fancy high-end spa without forcing you to take out a second mortgage!
First, we carefully prep the entire area by stripping away old nasty soap scum and nasty mineral deposits. Next, an acid etch solution creates microscopic grooves on the hard porcelain surface so the new finish sticks forever. Consequently, this deep cleaning step prevents any annoying peeling or bubbling down the road.
Thereafter, any ugly chips or deep scratch marks get filled in with high-grade industrial resin compounds. Soon, the entire basin gets sanded down completely flat until you cannot even feel where the damage used to be. As a result, the smooth base layer guarantees an absolutely flawless shiny top coat once we start spraying.
| Step in Process | What We Do | Direct Benefit To You |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Prep Cleaning | Strip old soap scum and etch porcelain surface | Prevents peeling and ensures long-lasting adhesion |
| Damage Repair | Fill all cracks, chips and rusty spots | Creates a perfectly flat base that feels soft to touch |
| Synthetic Primer | Apply high-tech chemical bonding agent | Locks the new color coat tight to the old fixture |
| Acrylic Topcoat | Spray multiple layers of high-gloss finish | Delivers a dazzling shine that cleans super easy |
Finally, three thick coats of high-grade acrylic urethane get applied using special high-pressure spray tools. Plus, this advanced liquid material chemically fuses directly with the etched porcelain surface beneath it. Because of this, you get a durable glossy shell that resists hot water impact and daily wear very easily.
Often, old water lines cause terrible reddish rust stains around the drain opening that look super gross. Happily, our special grinding tools remove that deep iron oxidation before we apply our rust-inhibiting primer coatings. Hence, those stubborn orange eyesores disappear completely under a bright white shell.
Also, many folks think their dull faded surface just needs a good scrub with harsh bleach chemicals. Unfortunately, those abrasive powder cleaners actually scratch off the original glaze and make dirt stick even faster! Luckily, our glossy liquid coating seals everything tight so dirt just slides right down the drain with warm water.
Similarly, ugly spiderweb cracks along the bottom basin can lead to hidden water leaks underneath your floorboards. Luckily, our heavy resin fillers soak deep into those tiny fissures to seal them up tight before topcoating. Thereby, you prevent expensive structural rot beneath your floor without buying a whole new tub insert.
Clearly, full bathroom remodeling costs an absolute fortune and takes forever to finish up properly. Conversely, quick spray surface restoration costs a tiny fraction of total replacement expense while delivering basically identical visual results. Consequently, choosing to update your existing setup is the standard path for wise property owners.
| Project Option | Average Time Needed | Mess Level | Relative Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Tub Replacement | 1 to 2 Weeks | Extremely High (Dust & Debris) | Very Expensive |
| Plastic Shell Insert | 2 to 3 Days | Medium (Wall cutting) | Moderate to High |
| Surface Spray Renewal | 4 to 6 Hours | Zero (Fully masked off) | Super Low |
Now, those cheap plastic overlay shells might sound okay at first glance until you learn how they actually work. Specifically, water frequently gets trapped in the gap between the old tub and the new plastic shell over time. Eventually, trapped moisture turns into nasty black mold that smells like a swamp every time you take a shower!
In contrast, our direct spray coating leaves no gaps or hidden air pockets where moisture can ever collect and hide. Furthermore, the strong chemical bond means the new shiny layer stays completely solid for many long years of use. Therefore, you enjoy a clean sanitary space without worrying about hidden mold issues behind thin plastic walls.
Mainly, taking care of your newly finished wash surface is amazingly simple and takes barely any effort. Right off the bat, toss away those harsh scratchy sponges and abrasive bleach powders forever... soft microfiber cloths are all you need! As a result, your glossy topcoat stays shiny and slick like polished glass without getting dulled down.
Additionally, avoid using stick-on rubber bath mats that have those tiny tight suction cups along the bottom side. Instead, request our non-slip texture additive mixed directly right into the bottom floor coat during the spraying application process. Thus, you get built-in foot traction without ruining the fresh protective finish with pulled-up suction marks.
Furthermore, fix any leaky shower faucets immediately so dripping water does not sit continuously in one spot for months. Although our coatings are extremely tough against daily usage, constant dripping mineral water can cause tiny rust ring stains over decades. So, keeping your plumbing tight ensures your brilliant washroom basin looks brand new almost forever!

Today, local pros who know this business inside and out are ready to drop by your home for a quick inspection. Whereupon, you get a quick breakdown of your options without any high-pressure sales pitch pushing you around.

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, 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.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
