A dull or chipped tub in Golden Valley 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.
Does your old tub look like it has seen better days or maybe even decades? You probably want a fresh look without the massive mess of a total remodel.
Maybe you feel like your bathroom is stuck in the past because the finish on your tub is worn out. You might see cracks or stains that just won't go away no matter how hard you scrub them. That is where a professional surface renewal comes into play for your home. By applying a fresh, high-tech coating, you turn a dull and pitted surface into something that looks like it just rolled off the factory floor. This process saves you thousands compared to ripping everything out and starting over.
Furthermore, this specialized resurfacing technique works wonders on old cast iron or stamped steel tubs that are built like tanks. Since those older units are often much heavier and more durable than modern replacements, keeping them is usually the smartest move you can make. You get to keep that solid construction while gaining a smooth and glossy finish that feels great to the touch. It really is a win for both your wallet and your bathroom aesthetic.
When you decide to go this route, a pro comes out to prep the surface by removing all soap scum and mineral buildup. Then they apply a bonding agent that makes sure the new layer sticks to the old porcelain or fiberglass forever. This ensures that the finish stays strong even when you use the shower every single day. You will notice that the new surface resists dirt and grime much better than the old, porous one did.
Additionally, the actual application involves high-quality resins that harden into a very tough shell. This shell provides a high level of ease and a feeling of peace for your daily routine. Because the material dries so quickly, you often only need to wait a single day before you can enjoy your revitalized space. It is truly the most efficient way to achieve a high-class look in your home without dealing with weeks of construction noise.
Beyond just saving money, you are helping the environment by keeping old materials out of the local landfill. You might wonder if this lasts long enough to be worth the effort. The answer is a resounding yes, because a well-applied coating can hold up for many years if you take decent care of it. You just need to avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that could scratch the new surface.
Another great thing about this process is how it updates the color of your room instantly. If you have an old avocado green or mustard yellow basin, you can easily change it to a clean, crisp white or a soft almond tone. This change makes your whole bathroom feel bigger, brighter, and way more modern. It is honestly one of the best investments you can make to increase the appeal of your property.

Taking the first step is usually the hardest part of any home improvement project. However, you can find out exactly what your unique situation requires without spending a single dime. By asking for a free quote, you get a clear picture of the cost and the timeline for your specific project. There is absolutely no pressure to say yes, so you can make your decision on your own terms.
On top of that, having a pro look at your tub can reveal underlying issues that you might have missed. Sometimes there are small leaks or chips that need attention before we apply the new coating. We identify these things early so that your finished project is built to last. It is all about giving you the peace of mind that you made the right choice for your residence.
After the work is done, you might be curious about how to maintain that glossy shine. The secret is to stick with gentle, non-abrasive soap and soft sponges or rags. You really want to stay away from steel wool or harsh chemicals that could strip the shine away. Because the surface is non-porous, you will find that it is actually much easier to clean than the original material ever was.
You can also use a mild car wax once or twice a year to give it extra protection. This extra step helps water bead up and slide off, which keeps mineral deposits from forming. It only takes a few minutes and it makes your bathtub look brand new all over again. These simple habits ensure that your investment pays off for a long time to come.
Many folks worry about the smell during the application, but we use high-powered ventilation systems to keep the air fresh. We make sure the fumes are kept to an absolute minimum so you don't have to worry about your house smelling like a workshop. You might also ask if the surface will be slippery, but we can add a non-slip texture if you want more safety. Safety is always a top priority when we work on any project.
Furthermore, we can work on sinks and tile walls too, not just the tub itself. If you want a uniform look across your entire bathroom, we can handle that with the same level of care. Everything is designed to work together to give your room a cohesive and high-end appearance. It really transforms the entire atmosphere of your house in just a few short hours of focused labor.
Imagine walking into your bathroom and seeing a gleaming, white surface that makes the whole room sparkle.

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 Valley, 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.
