A dull or chipped tub in Germantown 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 wake up every single morning and stare at that ugly, faded, or chipped tub surface that feels like sandpaper under your feet. Because of this, you might think your only option is to rip the whole thing out and spend thousands of dollars on a massive remodeling project. Fortunately, we can make your existing fixture look brand new again in just a single afternoon without all that messy demolition.
Actually, we specialize in a smart process that breathes fresh life into tired cast iron or fiberglass basins right in your home. By choosing this clever alternative, you will save a mountain of cash and avoid weeks of construction dust clogging up your hallways. Let us show you how we can transform your space with zero hassle.
Right now, you are probably wondering if your specific tub is a good candidate for this quick makeover. Since we offer a completely free estimate, you can easily find out exactly what it takes to get that glossy, smooth surface back. Get in touch with us today to secure your complimentary quote and start planning your upgrade.
To understand why this method is so popular, you first need to know what actually happens during the process. First, we clean the old surface with specialized cleaners to remove decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This step is crucial because it ensures the new coatings will bond perfectly to the original material.
Next, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots that have been bothering you for years. By fixing these imperfections first, we create a flawless foundation that looks completely flat and uniform. This attention to detail is what separates a amateur DIY kit from a long-lasting finish.
After that, we apply a high-tech bonding agent designed specifically for porcelain and ceramic materials. Which means the topcoat will fuse to the old tub on a molecular level instead of just sitting on top of it. Finally, we spray a durable, high-gloss acrylic finish that mirrors the depth of a brand-new factory piece.
If you have ever talked to a traditional plumber, you know that replacing a tub is never as simple as just swapping them out. For one thing, the old fixture is usually tiled into the wall, meaning you have to destroy the surrounding area just to get it out. This domino effect can easily turn a simple weekend job into a multi-week financial nightmare.
On top of that, new tubs are often made of flimsy plastic that feels cheap and hollow when you stand in it. By keeping your original heavy-duty cast iron basin, you preserve that solid feel and excellent heat retention. Our process lets you keep the superior quality of your vintage fixture while enjoying a pristine, modern look.
To give you a better idea of how these two options stack up, we put together a quick comparison table below.
| Feature | Our Restoration Service | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable, usually a fraction of replacement | High expense, including plumbing and tile repair |
| Project Time | Completed in 4 to 6 hours | Can take weeks of messy construction work |
| Mess & Dust | Minimal, we mask off the entire room | Major drywall dust, debris, and noise |
| Durability | Lasts for many years with basic care | Depends heavily on the quality of the new tub |
As you can see, the benefits of choosing a restorative coating are hard to ignore. This lets you spend your hard-earned money on other home projects or a nice vacation instead of burying it in a dumpster. Plus, you get to use your refreshed bathroom in just a couple of days.
Living in this beautiful corner of the Badger State means you appreciate honest work and solid value. Whether you reside in a cozy ranch or a spacious two-story home, our local team is ready to drive right to your driveway. We take pride in helping our neighbors update their properties without stretching their household budgets.
Our service area covers the entire local community of Germantown, Wisconsin, where we regularly assist homeowners who want to modernize their spaces. With a local population of about 19,997 residents, we know that reputation is everything in a tight-knit community. That is why we treat every home with the utmost respect, leaving your bathroom cleaner than we found it.
Many of our clients live in neighborhoods with a solid median household income of $81,846, where keeping up property values is a top priority. No matter if your home falls in the 53022 ZIP code or nearby areas, we are just a quick phone call away. We understand the specific plumbing styles found in these local homes and how to work with them safely.
Once we pack up our tools and leave you with a sparkling bathroom, you will want to keep it looking that way forever. Luckily, caring for your restored surface is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, porous tub. Because the new finish is completely non-porous, dirt and grime have a very hard time sticking to it.
However, you must avoid harsh abrasive cleaners like bleach or gritty powders that can dull the shiny finish over time. Instead, we recommend using mild, liquid dish soaps or gentle spray cleaners with a soft microfiber cloth. This simple routine preserves the brilliant luster and ensures your tub remains a joy to look at.
Additionally, you should stay away from suction-cup bath mats because they can pull at the new coating when you lift them. We can actually apply a permanent, slip-resistant texture to the bottom of your tub during our process if you are worried about safety. This option gives you peace of mind and keeps your family safe without damaging the finish.
Even with the best care, sometimes accidents happen, like dropping a heavy metal shampoo bottle or a wrench during a minor repair. If you do happen to nick the surface, do not panic because these small spots can easily be touched up. We can quickly seal the area to prevent water from getting underneath the coating and causing larger issues.
This flexibility is another reason why local families love our services so much. We do not just apply the coating and disappear; we are always here to help you maintain your bathroom investment. Our friendly team is always ready to answer your questions and provide quick support whenever you need it.
Now that you know how easy and affordable it is to transform your bathroom, there is no reason to keep living with an ugly tub. You do not have to endure the stress of a massive remodel or live with a stained, embarrassing fixture anymore.

By requesting a free estimate, you will get a clear, honest price tailored specifically to the condition of your bathroom.

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 Germantown, 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.
