A dull or chipped tub in George 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.
Maybe you cringe every time you step into your bathroom because that old cast iron tub looks like a relic from a horror movie. That dingy, stained surface refuses to come clean no matter how hard you scrub with bleach. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a full bathroom remodel to get a sparkling clean space.
Our local crew specializes in reviving those worn out bathroom fixtures right inside your home. This budget-friendly process breathes new life into your existing setup without the mess of demolition. Let us help you save money while making your bathroom feel fresh again.
Instead of ripping out your entire wall and plumbing, this clever method applies a tough new protective coat directly over your current basin. This means you avoid the costly nightmare of hiring plumbers and carpenters to tear your house apart. On top of that, the entire process takes just a few hours from start to finish.
Which means you can use your shower again in just a couple of days. Our process works on cast iron, steel, and even fiberglass units that have seen better days. You will get a glossy, durable finish that looks identical to a brand new porcelain installation.
This lets you skip the massive disposal fees at the local landfill. Many homeowners do not realize how heavy and stubborn those old tubs are to remove. Saving your existing fixture keeps sturdy materials out of the trash while keeping your hard-earned cash in your wallet.
First, we meticulously clean the surface using specialized acid cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and mineral deposits. After that, we repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots with a heavy-duty polyester filler. This step ensures the final coat lies completely flat and adheres perfectly to the old substrate.
Next, we apply a chemical bonding agent called a silane coupling agent to fuse the old surface with the new material. This high-tech primer acts like superglue for the liquid acrylic topcoat we spray on afterward. We use professional spray equipment to build up several thin, beautiful layers of synthetic porcelain.
Finally, we let the new coating cure into a rock-hard shield that resists impacts and hot water. You will love how easy it is to wipe clean because the new non-porous surface does not trap dirt. We always mask off your entire bathroom with plastic sheeting to protect your walls and floors from any overspray.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time to Complete | Mess Factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Very High | 1 to 2 Weeks | Extremely Dusty |
| Plastic Tub Liners | High | 1 to 2 Days | Moderate |
| Professional Resurfacing | Very Low | 4 to 6 Hours | Very Minimal |
Now, let us look at how these choices stack up for your home budget. Plastic liners might seem easy, but they often trap water underneath which leads to nasty hidden mold growth. Full replacement requires permits, expensive plumbing rerouting, and a lot of patience.
Choosing our local restoration service gives you the fastest turnaround time with the least amount of daily disruption. We pride ourselves on offering honest workmanship to our neighbors in this beautiful agricultural hub of Grant County. You deserve a beautiful home without the stress of a massive construction project.
Living in a cozy town of about 706 people means that reputation is absolutely everything to a local business. We treat your property with the utmost respect because we are your neighbors, not some faceless corporate franchise. Our team understands the unique needs of homes in the 98824 ZIP code area.
Since the median household income here is around $38,333, we know that every single dollar of your home improvement budget counts. That is why we focus on delivering top-tier craftsmanship at a fraction of the cost of a traditional remodel. We never cut corners on our prep work because we want our finishes to last for years.
Indeed, our specialized coatings are designed to withstand the hard water issues that often plague rural wells. This extra durability ensures your shiny new surface will not yellow or peel after a few months of use. We stand behind our work and always explain how to care for your new finish so it stays bright.
Naturally, we want to be completely transparent with you about what this process can and cannot do. On the plus side, you get a gorgeous, high-gloss surface that looks brand new for a tiny fraction of the replacement cost. It is also an eco-friendly choice because you are recycling your heavy old cast iron basin.
However, you must treat the new surface with a bit of care to prevent scratches. You cannot use abrasive scrubbing powders or harsh bleach cleaners on the restored surface anymore. Soft sponges and mild dish soap will become your new best friends for weekly cleaning chores.
Also, if your current tub has severe structural damage like giant holes rusted completely through the metal, resurfacing might not be enough. In those rare cases, we will tell you honestly if replacement is your only safe option. We believe in upfront honesty rather than taking your money for a temporary fix.
To keep that glossy shine looking fresh, always rinse the basin with warm water after every single shower. This simple habit washes away soap residue before it has a chance to dry and harden. It takes only ten seconds but keeps your bathroom looking like a luxury hotel room.
Avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy metal cans of shaving cream sitting directly on the ledge. The moisture trapped underneath those bottles can dull the finish over time or cause rust rings. Using a hanging shower caddy is an easy way to protect your investment.
If you have pets, please do not wash your dogs in the newly coated basin without a protective rubber mat. Sharp dog claws can scratch the acrylic layer if they slip and slide around during bath time. Taking these small precautions ensures your bathroom stays beautiful for a decade or more.

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 George, 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.
