In Cedar Mill, 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 staring at that stained and chipped bathing basin every single morning? Fortunately, you can fix this eyesore without spending a fortune on a total bathroom gut job. This service brings your worn-out wash basin back to life right here in the Portland metro area.
Now, you might wonder how this magic actually happens in your own home. Basically, local pros spray a tough new coating right over your old acrylic or cast iron tub. This lets you skip the messy demolition and dodge weeks of contractor chaos.
Replacing a built-in soaking tub destroys your tiles and costs thousands of dollars in labor fees. Instead, you can save serious cash by spraying a fresh layer of high-grade polymers over the damage. This clever trick gives you a brand-new look while keeping your original plumbing intact.
Truthfully, nobody wants to live in a construction zone for two whole weeks. Which means choosing this quick spraying method gets your bathroom back in action by tomorrow night. On top of that, your wallet stays happy because you avoid buying a brand-new basin and paying extra installation fees.
| Method | Average Cost | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Four Thousand Dollars | Two Weeks |
| Surface Spraying | Five Hundred Dollars | One Day |
First off, trained technicians arrive at your door with specialized masks and heavy-duty ventilation gear. They scrub every inch of your porcelain or fiberglass shell to remove soap scum and mineral buildup. This thorough cleaning ensures the chemical bonding agent sticks properly to the old surface.
Next up, they patch up any ugly chips or nasty cracks using a waterproof epoxy filler. Once the surface is completely smooth, they apply multiple coats of industrial-grade polyurethane finish. This creates a gorgeous shine that mimics the luxury of a brand-new fixture.
You probably worry about the new coating peeling off after a few months of normal use. However, modern chemical bonding agents create a molecular grip that lasts for many years. This means your family can splash around and take long baths without any fear of damage.
Plus, the non-porous finish resists mold and mildew much better than aging original enamel. Therefore, you spend less time scrubbing stubborn stains and more time relaxing in the warm water. Maintenance becomes an absolute breeze once the technicians finish their work in your washroom.
Living in this peaceful Washington County community means you appreciate keeping your home in top shape. Even though this specific census-designated place has a population of zero in official government records, thousands of real residents actually live in the surrounding zip codes like 97229. Local contractors know the exact plumbing quirks of houses built across the Portland area.
Furthermore, factoring in the healthy median household income around here, wise homeowners prefer smart upgrades over wasteful remodeling. Hiring a nearby crew supports regional workers who care deeply about our local neighborhoods. You get personalized attention from technicians who treat your property with genuine respect.
Taking care of your newly coated tub requires just a few simple cleaning rules. Avoid harsh abrasive powders because they scratch the glossy finish and dull the shine over time. Instead, stick to gentle dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth for your weekly wipedown.
Following these easy steps keeps your bathing area looking pristine for over a decade. Whenever you notice normal wear starting to appear, a quick touch-up service fixes it instantly. This sustainable approach keeps tons of old porcelain out of local landfills every single year.
Many folks believe that sprayed-on finishes peel off during the very first hot shower. Actually, the industrial primers cure into a rock-hard shield that withstands extreme water temperatures effortlessly. This advanced chemistry guarantees your investment survives daily family routines without a single hitch.
Another common myth claims that the chemical fumes make your entire house smell terrible for days. Modern low-VOC formulas dry quickly and dissipate odors much faster than older products ever did. You can safely sleep in your own bed the very same night the pros finish spraying.
Start by walking into your bathroom and taking detailed photos of every single blemish on your basin. Then, reach out to local specialists who offer complimentary consultations and transparent pricing guides. This preparation helps you understand what to expect before any work actually begins in your home.
Clearing all personal items off the edges of the tub lets the technicians work much faster. Removing shampoo bottles and bath toys creates a safe workspace for the prep crew to operate efficiently. Your cooperation ensures the entire project finishes right on schedule without any annoying delays.
Upgrading your worn-out fixtures dramatically boosts the overall appeal of your entire property. Future buyers always notice a gleaming, spotless washing basin during home tours and open houses. This small upgrade pays for itself many times over if you ever decide to sell your house.

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 Mill, 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.
