In Cedar Hills, the Portland technician we send repairs, sprays and caulks your tub where it stands.
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 those ugly chips and stains every single morning? You can actually transform your worn-out bathroom fixture into a brand new focal point without spending thousands on a total renovation.
Getting a fresh start for your soaking area is much easier than you ever imagined. This simple process breathes new life into your space and keeps it looking sharp for many years to come.
Think about how much traffic your main wash vessel sees on a daily basis. Over time, the enamel gets porous and starts holding onto grime that you simply cannot scrub away no matter how hard you try.
When you hire a pro to apply a high-quality polymer coating, you effectively seal the surface. This creates a smooth, glass-like finish that repels dirt and makes your daily cleanup routine feel like a breeze.
Living in a neighborhood near the heart of Portland, you likely appreciate the value of maintaining your home. This area in Washington County reflects a unique style where keeping things tidy is just part of the local culture.
Whether you reside near the common zip codes of this region or tucked away in a quiet street, property values are always on your mind. You can increase your home appeal by upgrading fixtures instead of tearing them out.
You might worry that the smell or the mess will be too much for your household to handle. Fortunately, modern techniques have evolved to keep the dust and the fumes strictly controlled during the work day.
This approach saves you a pile of cash compared to the nightmare of demolition and plumbing rerouting. You get a pristine surface that looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor today.
Replacing a heavy cast iron basin is a massive ordeal that involves knocking down walls and dealing with expensive disposal fees. You have to hire a plumber, a tile guy, and maybe even a carpenter to put everything back together.
On the other hand, a professional resurfacing job usually wraps up in just one or two days. You gain back your space quickly and avoid the headache of living in a construction zone for weeks.
If you look at the median household income for this part of the country, you know that keeping expenses low is always smart. You save a significant chunk of change by choosing a chemical bonding process over buying new equipment.
This extra money stays in your pocket for other home projects. You can put those savings toward new fixtures, paint, or maybe just a nice weekend trip to the coast.
You might be wondering if this finish will peel off in a month like some cheap paint job. A skilled technician uses a specialized bonding agent that locks the new material onto the existing structure permanently.
This creates a high level of coziness because you stop worrying about rust or mold hiding in tiny cracks. Your bathroom stays sanitized and beautiful, which helps you feel better about the place you call home.
First, your technician will perform a deep cleaning to remove all the old soap scum and hard water deposits. This step is vital because it prepares the substrate so the new coating can grip the surface perfectly.
Next, they will repair any chips or cracks with a professional-grade filler. After that, they mask off all the surrounding areas to ensure that nothing else gets touched by the finishing spray.
Once everything is prepped, they spray on a durable synthetic finish that hardens into a tough shell. You will be amazed at how quickly the old, dull color changes into a bright, glossy white.
After the drying process completes, you are left with a smooth and shiny surface. You can use it as soon as the cure time passes, which means minimal disruption to your busy schedule.
You deserve a space that reflects your personality and your pride in your residence. If you want to know how much this would cost, you can simply reach out for a no-obligation visit.
A friendly professional will come to your door to assess the condition of your fixture. They will explain exactly what they can do and provide you with a written figure for the work.
Some people worry that the finish will look fake or like plastic. In reality, modern coatings mimic the look and feel of real porcelain extremely well.
You get a refined aesthetic that keeps your bathroom looking high-end. This is the most practical way to update your home if you are planning to sell or just want to enjoy your surroundings more.
Choosing to resurface rather than replace keeps a giant hunk of metal or fiberglass out of the local landfill. You are doing a small part to keep our beautiful state clean and green.
This is a sustainable way to renovate that does not waste resources. Your decision makes sense both for your wallet and for the planet we all share.
Do you have specific questions about how long it lasts or what colors are available? Most pros offer a variety of shades if you want something other than classic white for your decor.
Usually, these finishes last for many years with proper care. You just need to avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that could scratch the new surface over time.
When you decide to fix your bathroom, you stop putting off the inevitable. Small chips can turn into rust spots if you leave them alone for too long.
By acting now, you prevent further damage to the structural integrity of your unit. You gain peace of mind knowing that your bathroom is in top condition and ready for daily use.
Imagine stepping into your shower and seeing a sparkling clean, smooth floor instead of a stained, rough mess. This little upgrade makes your mornings start on a much better note every day.
You will enjoy the sense of comfort provided by a clean and well-kept environment. Everything feels more organized when your bathroom looks like it was just renovated by a professional designer.
You have all the information you need to move forward with this project. Getting a quote is simple and there is no pressure to say yes on the spot.
You can ask about the timeline, the colors, and any other concerns you have during the visit. The technician will guide you through the process so you feel confident about the final result.

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 Cedar Hills, 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.
