A dull or chipped tub in Elkins does not need a demolition crew. It needs one technician, one day and a sprayed finish that shines.

(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 homeowners believe they must rip out their entire plumbing setup when a fixture starts showing its age. This mistaken belief leads to massive headaches, weeks of dust, and outrageous contractor bills. Our specialized restoration technique solves this problem by applying high-tech coatings directly onto your existing porcelain, fiberglass, or cast iron setup.
First, we clean the area with industrial-strength cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and mineral deposits. Next, we repair any deep scratches or unsightly chips using waterproof polyester fillers that blend seamlessly. After that, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like molecular glue to fuse the new finish to the old surface.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of a high-performance acrylic polymer coating to create a brilliant, rock-hard shine. This process delivers maximum scratch resistance and a gorgeous finish that rivals the look of a brand-new factory installation. You get to enjoy a gorgeous, modern look without the typical mess of a major construction zone in your home.
Choosing the right path for your home improvement project can feel overwhelming when you look at the different costs involved. To help you make the best decision, we compiled a quick comparison of the most common ways to upgrade a worn-out washing basin.
| Project Type | Average Cost Range | Time to Complete | Mess Factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | $3,000 - $8,000 | 3 to 7 Days | Very High (Demolition) |
| Acrylic Liner Install | $2,000 - $5,000 | 1 to 2 Days | Moderate (Plumbing adjustments) |
| Our Restoration Service | $350 - $650 | 4 to 6 Hours | Very Low (No demolition) |
This table clearly shows that our specialized coating method offers the absolute best value for your hard-earned money. You save thousands of dollars that you can spend on other important home upgrades or family expenses. On top of that, you do not have to live through days of loud noise and construction workers trampling through your hallway.
Living in a historic mountain town means dealing with older homes that have plenty of unique character but also outdated plumbing. Many properties in the local 26241 area feature heavy cast iron basins that are incredibly difficult and expensive to remove. Our onsite restoration service preserves the historic charm of these heavy-duty fixtures while giving them a clean, modern aesthetic.
With a local median household income of $35,313, spending thousands on a simple bathroom remodel just does not make financial sense for most families. Our budget-friendly service fits your wallet perfectly while instantly boosting your property value. You get a premium, shiny finish that looks like a million bucks for a tiny fraction of the cost.
Our skilled technicians understand the unique needs of the local community of 7,115 residents here in the heart of West Virginia.

You get peace of mind knowing you are working with honest, hardworking neighbors who care about quality results.
Keeping your newly coated fixture looking pristine is incredibly simple if you follow a few basic guidelines. You must avoid abrasive scouring powders or harsh chemical bleach, as these can dull the beautiful, protective topcoat over time. Instead, use mild dish soap or non-abrasive foam cleaners along with a soft microfiber cloth to wipe down the surface.
We also recommend drying the area after use to prevent hard water spots from forming on the glossy finish. This simple habit keeps your bathroom looking like a high-end spa day after day with minimal effort. By following these easy steps, your restored fixture will remain bright and beautiful for up to fifteen years.
Choosing to renew your existing fixture is also a fantastic way to protect our beautiful mountain environment. Ripping out an old tub means sending hundreds of pounds of non-biodegradable cast iron, steel, or fiberglass straight to the local landfill. Our eco-friendly process keeps those heavy materials out of the waste stream entirely by giving them a second life.
Additionally, manufacturing a new fixture and shipping it across the country consumes a massive amount of fossil fuels and energy. By restoring what you already have, you shrink your carbon footprint while supporting a sustainable local economy. It is a true win-win scenario for both your wallet and the scenic hills of Elkins West Virginia USA.
When you schedule a visit with us, we arrive on time and fully prepared with all the specialized equipment needed for the job. Our first step involves setting up an advanced ventilation system to draw any paint fumes and dust safely out of your home. We use heavy-duty plastic sheeting and painter's tape to protect your walls, vanity, flooring, and nearby fixtures from overspray.
Next, we meticulously prepare the surface, fixing every single imperfection until the area is completely smooth. Once the prep work is finished, we spray our premium bonding agents and high-gloss topcoats using professional-grade HVLP spray guns. This precision equipment ensures an incredibly even, factory-smooth layer without any brush marks, runs, or bubbles.
After the final coat is applied, we carefully remove all our protective coverings and clean up our workspace. The entire process takes less than a day, and your fixture will be fully cured and ready for a warm bath in just twenty-four hours. You will be amazed at how quickly we can turn a dark, dingy bathroom into a bright, inviting space.

Let our friendly team of local surface restoration professionals show you how easy and affordable it is to get the beautiful bathroom you deserve.

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 Elkins, 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.
