A dull or chipped tub in Chippewa Falls 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 look at your bathroom and feel a sudden wave of disappointment when your eyes land on that stained, chipped fixture.
Perhaps you even feel embarrassed when guests ask to use your restroom because the finish looks so faded and worn.
Fortunately, we can make that old surface look brand new again without the messy hassle of a full bathroom remodel.
Right off the bat, you might think you need to tear the whole thing out to get a fresh look.
Instead of spending thousands on plumbing and demolition, our specialized resurfacing process coats your existing fixture with a ultra-durable, glossy new layer.
This saves you time, keeps cash in your pocket, and delivers a stunning result that feels incredibly smooth to the touch.
If you live in the beautiful Chippewa County area, you are probably familiar with how quickly hard water can ruin a glossy finish.
Actually, we see this exact issue every single day in homes all over the neighborhood, which is why we offer a fast and affordable solution.
To get started on your own bathroom transformation, you can easily request a free estimate from our friendly local team today.
Before we apply any new coatings, we must clean the old surface with industrial strength solutions to strip away soap scum.
This preparation step is absolutely vital because any leftover grime or body oils will prevent the new finish from bonding properly.
Once we expose the raw porcelain or fiberglass, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots with a special waterproof filler.
After we complete the repairs, we apply a high-tech bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor for the topcoat.
Next, we carefully spray several layers of a premium acrylic polyurethane coating using a specialized high-volume, low-pressure system.
This advanced technique ensures a completely level, factory-like shine that completely hides the old, ugly color underneath.
To help you understand the different options for restoring your fixture, we put together a simple comparison table below.
| Restoration Option | Average Cost | Time to Complete | Expected Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Our Specialized Resurfacing | Very Affordable | 3 to 5 Hours | 10 to 15 Years |
| Acrylic Liner Installation | Moderate to High | 1 to 2 Days | 8 to 12 Years |
| Full Fixture Replacement | Very Expensive | 3 to 7 Days | 20+ Years |
Naturally, saving money is the biggest reason people opt for this refinishing service over buying a brand-new tub.
When you replace a fixture, you also have to pay for tile repair, new plumbing valves, and expensive disposal fees.
By choosing our on-site spraying service, you bypass all those extra expenses and keep your hard-earned money for other home projects.
Besides saving money, you will also love how incredibly fast our process actually is from start to finish.
Typically, we can complete the entire job in just a few hours, and you can use your shower again the very next day.
This means you do not have to live through weeks of construction noise, drywall dust, and contractors walking through your home.
On top of that, your new surface will be much easier to keep clean because we seal all the microscopic pores.
Dirt and mildew simply have nowhere to hide on the ultra-smooth acrylic barrier we create.
Consequently, a quick wipe with a mild, non-abrasive soap is all it takes to keep that brilliant shine looking fresh.
Many classic houses in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, feature heavy cast iron tubs that are built like absolute tanks.
Tearing out one of these vintage beauties is a back-breaking chore that often requires breaking the iron with a sledgehammer.
We preserve these durable, historic fixtures by giving them a modern face-lift that honors the original character of your home.
Whether your bathroom has a funky 1970s pink tub or a dull 1990s beige one, we can update it to a clean, crisp white.
Which means you can finally update your bathroom decor without being held hostage by an outdated color scheme from decades ago.
Our customers are always amazed at how much brighter and larger their entire bathroom feels after we finish our work.
As a local business operating in this scenic region of 14,017 residents, we take immense pride in helping our neighbors improve their homes.
With a local median household income of $44,418, we know that spending thousands on a remodel is not always a realistic option.
That is why we offer this high-value, budget-friendly alternative to families living in the 54729 and 54774 ZIP codes.
First, we protect your bathroom floor, walls, and vanity by taping down heavy-duty plastic sheeting around the entire work area.
We also set up a powerful exhaust fan in the window to draw any paint fumes and overspray safely out of your home.
This careful setup process ensures that your home remains clean, safe, and completely free of mess while we work.
Second, we meticulously etch the old porcelain or fiberglass using a specialized acid paste that creates microscopic grooves.
This step might sound a bit scary, but it is actually the secret to making sure the new finish never peels.
Without this etching process, the new coating would slide right off the glossy old surface within a few months of use.
Lastly, we spray the topcoat in multiple thin, even passes to prevent any runs or sags from ruining the smooth look.
Once the material cures, we remove all our masking tape, clean up our equipment, and leave your bathroom looking absolutely immaculate.
All you have to do is wait twenty-four hours before turning on the water and enjoying your freshly updated sanctuary.
To ensure your beautiful new finish lasts for over a decade, you must treat it with a little bit of care.
For starters, you should never use bleach, abrasive scouring powders, or steel wool pads to clean the surface.
These harsh products will slowly dull the brilliant shine and eventually wear down the protective topcoat we applied.
Instead, we highly recommend using a soft sponge and a gentle liquid dish soap or a specialized surface cleaner.
This simple routine keeps the acrylic polyurethane looking like glass without causing any microscopic scratches or dull patches.
Additionally, you should avoid leaving wet washcloths or heavy shampoo bottles sitting on the rim for long periods of time.
If you have a dripping faucet, you should get it fixed quickly to prevent mineral stains from building up.
Constant water dripping can eventually wear through even the toughest industrial coatings over several years of neglect.
Taking care of your upgraded fixture is super easy and ensures you get the absolute most value out of your investment.

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 Chippewa Falls, 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.
