A dull or chipped tub in Edgerton 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.
Now you can easily fix that tired basin without paying for a full bathroom tearout. Therefore your daily soak feels luxurious again while your wallet stays happy.
That old porcelain fixture looks rough because years of scrubbing stripped away the protective coating. Consequently soap scum clings tightly and ruins your morning routine.
Harsh cleaners scratch the surface and create microscopic pores where dirt hides forever. That means your scrubbing efforts barely make a dent in the grime.
Replacing the whole unit costs a small fortune and destroys your tile walls in the process. Instead you can restore the existing shell for a tiny fraction of that price.
Technicians apply a bonding agent before spraying industrial coatings right over your old material. This gives you a brand new look without any messy demolition.
Bonding primers lock the new layers securely to the cast iron or fiberglass underneath. As a result peeling becomes nearly impossible when applied correctly.
Epoxy and polyurethane topcoats create a glass-like barrier against moisture and heavy scrubbing. Thus your fixture resists stains and lasts for many years to come.
Curing times take only a day or two before you can test the waters. This lets you get back to normal routines almost immediately.
Local homeowners in this quiet corner of the state appreciate smart ways to save money. Since median earnings sit around fifty-one thousand dollars wise spending matters greatly.
Properties here often feature vintage bathrooms with solid tubs that deserve a second chance. Preserving original craftsmanship keeps your vintage property charming and valuable.
Neighborhoods across these specific postal boundaries hold countless homes built decades ago. Bringing those classic washing basins back to life adds instant appeal to your dwelling.
Town residents near the local park enjoy a peaceful lifestyle with affordable living costs. Keeping your home updated fits right into that practical mindset.
Workers arrive at your door and thoroughly clean the entire surface to remove oils. Then they repair any chips or cracks using specialized waterproof fillers.
Masking paper protects your surrounding walls and floors from airborne spray particles during application. This ensures your bathroom stays clean and neat throughout the project.
Powerful exhaust fans push out fumes so your indoor air stays fresh and clean. Professionals wear protective gear to guarantee safety while handling strong chemical bonding agents.
Chemical strippers remove old failed layers from previous DIY paint jobs if necessary. That creates a smooth foundation for the fresh topcoats.
Buying a brand new basin requires hiring plumbers and paying for expensive disposal fees. Meanwhile restoring the original piece saves you thousands of dollars instantly.
Tearouts often damage adjacent plumbing pipes and require unexpected drywall repairs too. Choosing surface renewal bypasses all those hidden headaches completely.
| Restoration Method | Replacement Option |
|---|---|
| Costs a fraction of a replacement | Requires expensive demolition work |
| Takes only a single day | Takes multiple days or weeks |
| Keeps original plumbing intact | Risks breaking hidden water pipes |
Throwing away heavy cast iron fixtures fills up local landfills with unnecessary waste. Refurbishing your unit keeps tons of heavy material out of the trash.
Manufacturing new porcelain requires massive amounts of energy and depletes natural resources. Preserving your current basin makes your household much greener.
Avoiding abrasive scouring powders protects the glossy finish from premature wear and tear. Instead you should use mild dish soap and a soft sponge.
Wiping the surface dry after each bath prevents mineral buildup from hard water. This simple habit keeps your fixture looking pristine for a long time.
Never drop heavy metal tools onto the fresh surface because chipping can still occur. Always place a rubber mat down if you wash heavy items in the basin.
Refrain from using bath mats with heavy suction cups for the first few weeks. Waiting ensures the new coating fully hardens and cures without any interference.
With roughly two thousand residents living here, community trust drives every successful local business. Neighbors talk to each other and recommend reliable contractors who do honest work.

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 Edgerton, 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.
