A dull or chipped tub in Golden 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.
Your old wash basin looks pretty rough right now. Years of scrubbing have probably stripped away that original shine and left you with a dull surface that stains if you even look at it wrong. Fortunately you do not have to spend thousands of dollars tearing out your entire bathroom setup just to get that clean sparkling feeling back again.
By choosing to coat your existing cast iron or steel tub with a brand new liquid acrylic protective layer you save a ton of time and cash. This smart process fills in all those microscopic pores that trap dirt and rust. Which means you get a gorgeous glossy finish that looks exactly like a brand new installation without the messy demolition crew ruining your week.
Our local team specializes in this exact type of surface restoration right in your neighborhood. We come directly to your home to evaluate the damage and give you a detailed breakdown of the work. To make things even better we offer a completely free written estimate so you can plan your budget without any hidden surprises.
Most folks think a chipped or faded basin is ready for the landfill. However the structural integrity of these older fixtures is usually way better than the cheap plastic units they sell at the big box stores today. Keeping your heavy duty original tub is actually a much smarter move if you want something that lasts.
This specialized restoration method involves applying a high tech bond coat followed by several layers of durable synthetic finish. First we chemically clean the area to strip away old soap scum and body oils. After that we repair any deep scratches or rusty spots with a specialized waterproof filler material.
Next we spray on a professional grade topcoat that fuses to the old material on a molecular level. This creates a non porous barrier that resists water damage and color fading for many years. Consequently your daily cleaning routine becomes incredibly easy because dirt just slides right off the slick surface.
| Factor to Consider | Complete Replacement | Professional Surface Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | 3 to 5 days of messy construction | Only 4 to 6 hours total |
| Total Cost Involved | Very expensive labor and plumbing | Extremely budget friendly |
| Expected Lifetime | Depends on material quality | 10 to 15 years with proper care |

We love helping the 222 residents of this lovely town keep their homes looking beautiful and modern.
If your property is located in the 38847 ZIP code area we can easily drive out to your place for a quick inspection. This face to face visit allows us to inspect the condition of your porcelain or fiberglass setup. Then we explain the entire process step by step so you know exactly what to expect before we even open a single can of sealant.
Older homes often feature incredibly sturdy cast iron basins that retain heat much better than modern acrylic replacements. Keeping that heavy tub means your bath water stays warm and cozy for a much longer time during those chilly winter nights. Plus you preserve the unique historical charm of your home instead of replacing it with generic plastic parts.
Our specialized coatings come in a variety of classic colors to match whatever design scheme you have in mind. Whether you want a clean modern white or a soft biscuit tone we can make it happen. This lets you customize your space to match your personal style perfectly.
Applying this fresh protective layer also seals up any dangerous lead paint that might be lingering on older cast iron models. This extra safety benefit protects your kids and pets from accidental exposure to harmful toxins. You get total peace of mind knowing your family is soaking in a clean safe environment.
Our friendly technician arrives on time with all the necessary safety gear and ventilation equipment. First we carefully mask off your floors, walls, and fixtures to protect your bathroom from any overspray. This careful preparation ensures that only the target surface receives the new coating.
We use a high powered exhaust system to pull any fumes out of your house through the nearest window. This professional setup keeps your indoor air clean and comfortable while we work. Once the prep work is finished we apply the bonding agents and the glossy topcoat using a precision spray system.
The entire process takes only a single afternoon from start to finish. After we pack up our tools the new finish needs about twenty four hours to cure completely. Once that short waiting period is over you can jump right in and enjoy a relaxing bath in your sparkling clean tub.
Taking care of your newly restored wash basin is actually much easier than dealing with a worn out porous one. Because the new acrylic surface is completely smooth you do not need to scrub it with harsh abrasive powders anymore. In fact using gritty cleaners will eventually scratch the shiny finish and ruin the gloss.
Instead you should use mild liquid dish soaps or gentle spray cleaners along with a soft microfiber cloth. This simple routine keeps the surface looking brand new without causing any microscopic wear and tear. Rinsing the basin with clean water after each use also prevents soap scum from building up over time.
We also recommend avoiding suction cup bath mats because they can pull at the newly bonded layer when you lift them. If you need extra traction we can easily apply a permanent slip resistant texture to the bottom of your tub during the refinishing process. This built in safety feature looks great and keeps you safe from accidental slips.

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 Golden, 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.
