A dull or chipped tub in Brentwood 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You can finally stop hiding your outdated bathroom behind heavy shower curtains. If your current tub looks dingy, scratched, or boasts a strange color from the 1970s, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a full remodel. Our local crew specializing in surface refinishing brings back that bright, glassy shine right in your home in just a few hours.
Instead of ripping out perfectly good cast iron or steel, this smart alternative saves you tons of cash and weeks of construction headaches. We love helping homeowners fall in love with their spaces again by using professional-grade coatings that look brand new. You get a gorgeous, glossy finish without the massive price tag, which lets you spend your hard-earned money on other fun projects.
Since we live and work nearby, we understand the unique character of homes in Saint Louis County. Whether you have a historic bungalow with a classic clawfoot or a modern suburban home, our team has the exact tools to restore your fixtures. Let us show you how easy it is to upgrade your space with a free, no-obligation estimate today.
First of all, let us talk about how this process actually works because it sounds almost too good to be true. Our specialized technicians carefully prep your existing fixture by stripping away old, failing glaze and fixing any deep chips or rust spots. After we clean the surface thoroughly with industrial agents, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue for the new finish.
Next, we spray several coats of a high-tech acrylic polymer that cures into an incredibly durable, high-gloss shell. This means you do not have to worry about the cost of hiring plumbers, tile setters, or drywall crews to patch up the damage from a tear-out. Which means you can keep your original high-quality fixture while upgrading its appearance to a clean, modern white.
On top of that, your new surface becomes extremely easy to clean because the process seals all the microscopic pores where dirt loves to hide. Mild soapy water is all it takes to keep it sparkling, saving you from scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemicals. You get to enjoy a sparkling, clean oasis that feels incredibly fresh and welcoming every single day.
To help you see the real value, we put together a quick comparison of what you can expect from our process versus a traditional bathroom remodel.
| Factor | Our Refinishing Service | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, usually a fraction of replacement costs | High expenses including plumbing and tile work |
| Time to Complete | Completed in just 4 to 6 hours | Often takes 3 to 7 days of messy construction |
| Durability | Lasts 10 to 15 years with proper care | Varies depending on the quality of the new tub purchased |
As you can see, choosing to restore what you already have is the most logical step for smart budget-conscious homeowners. This lets you bypass the dust, noise, and unexpected plumbing surprises that always seem to pop up during a demolition. We make the entire process stress-free so you can get back to your normal routine without delay.
Honestly, we take immense pride in our craftsmanship and always treat your home with the utmost respect. Our crew carefully masks off your entire bathroom, sets up professional ventilation systems to pull fumes outside, and cleans up every speck of dust before we leave. You will hardly even know we were there, except for the stunning, shiny fixture waiting for you in your bathroom.
Actually, many homes in the local area feature solid, heavy cast iron tubs that are far superior in quality to the flimsy plastic models sold in big-box stores today. Keeping that heavy-duty foundation while simply updating the outer layer is a fantastic way to preserve the structural integrity of your home. We love helping our neighbors save these vintage treasures while giving them a clean, contemporary look.
Moreover, we serve the wonderful community of Brentwood, Missouri, where the median household income sits around $79,469. With a local population of 8,023 residents, we enjoy providing personalized, friendly service to every single customer we meet. Whether you live in ZIP code 63144 or nearby areas, we are just a quick drive away and ready to help.
Now, you might have seen those cheap DIY paint kits at the local hardware store and wondered if they are worth a try. While they promise a quick fix, those retail products are usually just basic epoxy paints that brush on unevenly and begin peeling within a few months. Our commercial-grade materials require professional spray equipment, precise temperature control, and specialized safety gear to cure correctly.
By investing in a professional service, you avoid the heartbreak of a failed DIY project that eventually has to be stripped down and redone anyway. We back our work with a solid warranty, giving you peace of mind that your new finish will stand up to daily baths and showers. Let us handle the messy prep work and chemical application so you can relax and enjoy perfect results.
Before we even spray a drop of coating, we perform a detailed inspection of your fixture to identify any hidden problems. If we find rusty spots around the drain or cracks in the fiberglass, we repair those areas first so the final finish looks absolutely seamless. This careful attention to detail ensures that your newly restored surface looks smooth, even, and incredibly beautiful.
Then, we apply a specialized acid etching step that creates microscopic grooves on the old porcelain, steel, or acrylic. This step is crucial because it allows our high-performance primer to bite deep into the original surface for maximum adhesion. We never skip steps or rush the prep work because we know that a long-lasting shine depends entirely on what lies underneath.
Finally, we apply the topcoats using a precision spray system that prevents runs, drips, or brush marks from ruining the look. Once we finish spraying, we explain the simple curing process and give you clear instructions on how to care for your beautiful new surface. Within twenty-four hours, you can turn on the tap, step into your upgraded bath, and enjoy a luxurious soak.
To keep your fixture looking like a million bucks for years to come, you just need to follow a few simple guidelines. Avoid abrasive cleaners, bleach, or scrub pads that can scratch the glossy topcoat over time. Instead, stick to mild dish soap, safe bathroom sprays, and soft microfiber cloths to wipe away water spots.
Also, make sure you fix leaky faucets quickly because constant dripping can wear down even the strongest finishes over several years. By taking these easy steps, you ensure that your bathroom remains a bright, welcoming space that you can show off to guests with pride. We are always happy to answer any questions you have about maintenance during our visit.

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 Brentwood, 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.
