A dull or chipped tub in Central City 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.
Are you tired of looking at that old chipped basin in your bathroom? Maybe you live right here in Gilpin County where mountain homes take a real beating from hard water and age.
By chance you want a fresh look without spending a fortune on plumbing demolition. Fortunately you can bring that tired porcelain back to life with our local surface spraying crew.
Tearing out a heavy cast iron fixture creates a massive mess in your home. Furthermore you risk damaging your tile walls and floors during the messy removal process. This lets you avoid weeks of construction dust floating through your living spaces. Instead of dealing with contractors ripping out your plumbing we protect your bathroom while we work. Which means you save both time and heavy demolition costs.
Buying a brand new tub costs thousands of dollars once you factor in labor. On top of that custom sizing issues often pop up in historic mountain cabins. This lets you keep your original plumbing layout completely intact. By keeping the existing structure you bypass permits and plumbing modifications entirely. Which means your wallet stays much heavier at the end of the day.
Our trained crew arrives right at your doorstep to inspect the damage thoroughly. Then we clean the entire surface to remove decades of soap scum and mineral buildup. This lets our bonding agents grab onto the old porcelain with incredible strength. Without proper prep work the new coating would simply peel right off. Which means we never skip the crucial etching and cleaning phases.
We spray specialized high-tech acrylic coatings directly onto the prepared surface. This gives you a smooth finish that feels amazing against your skin. By using industrial grade polymers we ensure your basin resists daily wear and tear. Which means you get a factory-fresh look that lasts for many years.
The chemical bonding process requires twenty four hours to cure completely. During this time you simply keep the room dry and well ventilated. This lets the hardener cross-link fully with the base material. By following these easy rules you guarantee a long-lasting and durable finish. Which means you can enjoy long relaxing soaks very soon.
Look at this quick breakdown to see how fixing beats ripping out.
| Factor | Surface Spraying | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Time required | One single day | One to two weeks |
| Mess factor | Zero demolition dust | Heavy debris everywhere |
| Cost impact | Extremely affordable | Very expensive plumbing bills |
Naturally you want to know how well this holds up in real life. Therefore we only use professional grade materials designed for high moisture areas. This lets your tub handle heavy daily use without chipping or fading. By avoiding cheap hardware store kits we guarantee top tier results. Which means your investment pays off for a very long time.
Local homes deal with harsh well water and mineral heavy municipal supplies. Consequently your porcelain takes a constant beating from calcium and iron deposits. This leaves behind ugly stains that regular scrubbing simply cannot remove. By applying our glossy coating we seal the microscopic pores in the material. Which means future mineral stains wash away with a simple wipe.
Winters in ZIP codes 80427 bring freezing temperatures that stress older home structures. Fortunately our flexible acrylic formulas expand and contract right along with your tub. This prevents microscopic cracks from turning into major structural leaks over time. By protecting the underlying cast iron or fiberglass you avoid costly subfloor rot. Which means your entire bathroom stays safe and structurally sound.
Living in a tiny mountain settlement with just 731 residents means you value honest work. Therefore we keep our pricing transparent and straightforward for every single neighbor. With a median household income hovering around $51,875 value matters deeply. This lets you upgrade your home without breaking your household budget. Which means you get high-end results at a fair local price.
Word travels fast around our scenic county when a contractor does good work. Consequently we treat every single home with the utmost respect and care. This lets us build lasting trust with local families who need reliable home improvements. By showing up on time and cleaning up we make the process stress-free. Which means you can relax while we handle the hard labor.
Some folks believe sprayed finishes peel off after just a few months. However modern bonding agents create a molecular fusion with the original substrate. This stops peeling dead in its tracks when applied by trained professionals. By using advanced etching primers we guarantee permanent adhesion. Which means your new finish stays locked in tight.
Another myth says the strong chemical smells linger inside your house forever. Actually our team uses heavy duty ventilation fans to exhaust fumes outside immediately. This keeps your indoor air clean and breathable throughout the entire process. By prioritizing safety we ensure your family experiences zero discomfort. Which means you can sleep easy in your freshly upgraded home.
Getting your space ready for our arrival takes very little effort on your part. First you remove all personal items like shampoo bottles and bath toys from the room. This lets our technicians move around freely without any obstacles in the way. By clearing the vanity area you speed up the setup process significantly. Which means we finish the job even faster than expected.
Next you keep pets and children away from the active work zone for safety. Then you make sure our crew has clear access to a working electrical outlet. This lets us power our high volume sprayers and ventilation equipment easily. By preparing these few simple things you help us deliver flawless results. Which means your project goes off without a single hitch.
Maintaining your shiny new basin requires very gentle cleaning products and soft sponges. Therefore you must avoid abrasive scrubbing powders that scratch the high gloss shine. This keeps the protective polymer shield completely smooth and bright. By using mild dish soap you preserve that like-new appearance for decades. Which means your bathroom always looks ready for company.
Never let standing water sit for days inside a newly sprayed fixture. Instead you simply wipe the bottom dry with a towel after your evening soak. This prevents mineral rings from forming while the finish continues hardening. By practicing good habits you protect your financial investment for years. Which means your bathroom stays gorgeous with minimal effort.

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 Central City, 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.
