In Delridge, the Seattle 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.

Many folks confuse this specialized restoration process with simple painting, but they actually have nothing in common. We use high-tech bonding agents and industrial coatings that fuse directly to your original cast iron or steel tub on a molecular level. This creates a completely new, non-porous outer shell that resists water, soap scum, and daily wear.
First, we clean the area with industrial-strength prep solutions to strip away decades of soap scum and body oils. After repairing any deep chips or rust spots, we apply a proprietary primer that acts like superglue for the final coat. Then we spray on several layers of a high-gloss acrylic polymer finish using specialized ventilation equipment.
This meticulous technique ensures a smooth, factory-like appearance that will fool all your houseguests into thinking you bought a new fixture. You avoid the nightmare of waiting weeks for contractors to finish a dusty demolition project. Plus, you keep tons of heavy construction waste out of our local landfills, which is a huge win.
You might see cheap roll-on kits at the local home improvement store and think about tackling this project yourself over the weekend. However, those retail paints lack the professional bonding agents required to survive constant moisture and temperature changes. Within a few months, the cheap store-bought coating inevitably begins to peel, blister, and look worse than before.
Fixing a failed DIY attempt actually costs more because we have to strip off all that gooey, half-peeled paint before we can start our process. Our team uses commercial-grade spray guns and safety gear that everyday homeowners simply cannot buy at a local hardware shop. Investing in professional service from the start saves you from immense frustration and double the expenses.

Living in this beautiful corner of King County means dealing with unique home styles, from classic mid-century bungalows to modern townhomes. Whether you reside near the ridge or closer to the industrial valley, our team knows exactly how to handle the specific plumbing setups found in these Pacific Northwest residences. We arrive on time, respect your property, and clean up every speck of dust before we pack up our truck.
This lovely Seattle neighborhood, tucked away in the southwest portion of the city, boasts a wonderfully diverse community of hard-working people. Even though official census sheets sometimes list the specific tract population as zero due to zoning quirks, thousands of real neighbors live in the surrounding ZIP codes like 98106 and 98126. With a healthy median household income in the area, local property owners appreciate smart home investments that maximize value without wasting cash.
By opting for restoration instead of replacement, you preserve the charm of your vintage home while upgrading its daily usability. Older homes often feature gorgeous, heavy cast iron tubs that retain heat much better than modern, cheap plastic replacements. Our service lets you keep that high-quality antique structure while enjoying a clean, hygienic surface that feels incredibly smooth to the touch.
Maintaining your newly restored wash basin is actually much easier than scrubbing a worn-out, porous old porcelain tub. Because the new acrylic finish is completely non-porous, dirt and soap residue have nothing to cling to when you rinse the basin. You can say goodbye to harsh bleach, abrasive scouring powders, and painful scrubbing sessions on your hands and knees.
We recommend using mild, non-abrasive liquid cleaners and a soft sponge to wipe down the surface once a week. Simple dish soap or a mild vinegar-and-water solution works wonders to keep the glossy shine looking brand new. Avoiding abrasive pads ensures the protective topcoat remains scratch-free and beautiful for many years to come.
When you book our local team, we start with a thorough inspection of your bathroom setup to identify any hidden issues. We carefully mask off your bathroom walls, vanity, and floor tiles to protect your home from overspray. Our technicians also set up a powerful exhaust fan in the window to pull all odors and dust safely outside.
Next, we tackle the hard work of removing old silicone caulk, which can prevent the new coating from sticking properly. We etch the porcelain surface, repair any deep gouges, and apply our multi-layer chemical bonding system. Finally, we spray several coats of our premium glaze, leaving you with a brilliant finish that cures quickly.
After a short curing period, we return to remove the masking tape and apply a fresh bead of mildew-resistant silicone caulk around the edges. This attention to detail prevents moisture from seeping behind your walls and causing mold problems later on. You get a fully completed, ready-to-use bathroom with absolutely zero cleanup hassle on your end.
Why spend another week staring at a stained, rusty, or outdated wash basin when an affordable solution is just a quick call away? Our friendly local crew is ready to visit your home and provide a detailed, honest quote with absolutely no hidden fees. We take pride in helping our neighbors update their homes without the high price tag of traditional remodeling.

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 Delridge, 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
