A dull or chipped tub in Fort Collins 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 wake up every morning and stare at that faded, scratched piece of porcelain in your bathroom. Honestly, it looks like a relic from another era, and those stubborn stains just refuse to budge no matter how hard you scrub. This means you need a fast, smart way to get a sparkling fresh surface without tearing your walls apart or spending a fortune.
Fortunately, our local team is ready to step in and handle this messy situation for you today. By spraying a durable, high-tech new coating right over your existing fixture, we can make it look brand new in just a few hours. We invite you to request your free estimate right now so we can help you save thousands of dollars on a complete bathroom remodel.
First of all, ripping out a heavy cast iron or steel basin is an absolute nightmare that always involves dusty sledgehammers and broken tiles. This destructive process often uncovers hidden water damage or plumbing issues behind the drywall, which instantly inflates your bill. On top of that, you might have to wait weeks for plumbers and tile setters to finish their jobs while you can't even wash up in your own home.
Instead of dealing with that massive headache, our specialized restoration method keeps your original fixture exactly where it is. We meticulously repair any chips, strip away the old worn-out layers, and apply a glossy finish that bonds on a molecular level. This lets you avoid the chaos of a construction zone while achieving the exact same gorgeous result.
Furthermore, the cost difference between these two approaches will probably blow your mind. While a full replacement easily runs into thousands of dollars, our surface renewal service costs only a small fraction of that amount. Which means you can keep your hard-earned cash for other fun adventures around our beautiful home state of Colorado.
To begin, we thoroughly clean the area using industrial-strength cleaners to dissolve decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures that the new materials will stick perfectly without any peeling later on. After that, we carefully patch up any deep scratches, rust spots, or unsightly dents with a specialized waterproof filler.
Next, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to shield your vanity, floors, and walls from any overspray. We also set up a heavy-duty exhaust fan to pull any fumes directly out of your window. This guarantees a clean, safe work environment inside your home while we do our magic.
Once everything is prepped, we apply a proprietary bonding agent followed by multiple layers of a premium acrylic urethane topcoat. This advanced chemical fusion creates a thick, resilient barrier that looks incredibly shiny and feels completely smooth to the touch. Finally, we remove the masking tape and leave your space looking cleaner than we found it.

Now, you might be wondering how long this gorgeous finish will actually last under normal daily use. If you follow our basic care instructions and avoid abrasive cleaners, your renewed surface will easily shine for over a decade. This represents an incredible return on your investment that keeps your bathroom looking pristine without any extra stress.

After we pack up our tools and leave your bathroom sparkling, keeping that finish beautiful is incredibly simple. You should always avoid harsh scrubbing powders or bleach because those chemicals can dull the shiny topcoat over time. Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or a gentle liquid cleaner along with a soft microfiber cloth.
Additionally, keeping your dripping faucets repaired is a great way to prevent mineral stains from building up in the future. Standing water can eventually wear down even the toughest finishes, so a quick plumbing fix pays off in the long run. By taking these easy steps, you will enjoy a bright, clean bathing area for many years to come.

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 Fort Collins, 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.
