All over City of Saint Louis, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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 probably hate looking at that chipped, yellowing basin every single morning. This local service provides a perfect way to restore your fixtures without the massive price tag of a full remodel.
Many people think the only way to fix a gross, stained tub is to rip it out. You know that ripping out tile, plumbing, and heavy iron tubs creates an enormous mess. This demolition process turns your house into a construction zone for weeks. It costs thousands of dollars just to dispose of the rubble.
Luckily, there is a much smarter approach for homeowners in the City of Saint Louis, Missouri. You can save your existing fixture through a special chemical coating process that makes it look brand new. This method is fast, affordable, and incredibly effective for any worn surface. By choosing this route, you skip the stress of traditional bathroom overhauls entirely.
First, you need to understand that this process involves deep cleaning and specialized bonding agents. We strip away years of grime, soap scum, and old mineral deposits. This preparation allows the new, durable finish to stick perfectly to the surface. You get a result that feels smooth and looks bright white again.
Next, we apply a high-tech synthetic resin that hardens into a rock-solid layer. This creates a protective shield that resists future stains and keeps your bathroom looking fresh. You do not have to worry about harsh chemicals stripping it away during your normal cleaning routine. It provides the same level of luxury and visual appeal as a brand-new acrylic model.
| Feature | Benefit for you |
|---|---|
| Specialized chemical bonding | Ensures a long-lasting and durable finish |
| Resin coating application | Provides a smooth and shiny surface texture |
| Local service visit | Saves you time and avoids travel hassles |
Perhaps you are worried about the budget for your home improvements this year. The median household income in this region suggests that most folks want value for their hard-earned money. You will find that our process costs a tiny fraction of what a full bathroom renovation would run you. This leaves plenty of extra cash in your pocket for other projects around your house.
Furthermore, you avoid the hidden costs associated with plumbing repairs during a demolition. When you remove a tub, you often find rotted subflooring or leaks you did not expect. Keeping the shell in place prevents you from discovering these costly surprises. You simply enjoy a revitalized, clean, and bright space for a very reasonable price.
You might wonder how long this new layer actually holds up under daily use. Because we use top-tier materials, the coating is designed to handle thousands of hot showers without peeling. It stands up to regular scrubbing much better than a degraded old surface ever could. You receive a durable solution that keeps your bathroom looking sharp for many years.
Moreover, the materials we use are safer than ever for your home environment. You do not need to worry about lingering odors or harmful vapors after the curing process finishes. Once the surface dries, it becomes totally inert and safe for every member of your family. It is a win for your peace of mind and your daily routine.
If you live within the various ZIP codes of this area, you should reach out to get a look at the costs. You can easily request a free estimate from our local crew today.

Getting this information early helps you plan your home improvements with total clarity. You do not have to commit to anything until you see exactly what we offer. We value your time and aim to provide a transparent experience from the very first phone call. Why settle for a dingy bathroom when you can have a fresh one?
You might ask if this works on old cast iron or newer fiberglass. The answer is yes, as we handle both materials with the same level of care. We have years of experience dealing with the specific quirks of older homes in this state. You deserve a professional touch that understands the history of your specific architecture.
Another concern involves the downtime for your bathroom. Most projects finish in just a day or two, meaning you lose minimal access to your shower.

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, 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.
