A dull or chipped tub in Graceville 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 worn-out bathroom fixture looks pretty rough these days. Instead of ripping everything out and spending a small fortune on messy demolition, you can choose a smart, affordable alternative. Our specialized local team brings back the original shine of your bathing area right in your home without the dusty chaos of a remodel.
Indeed, a quick makeover saves you precious time and keeps hard-earned money in your wallet. By applying a durable new topcoat over the existing surface, we erase those ugly stains, deep scratches, and outdated colors. This simple choice lets you enjoy a clean, bright space that looks brand new without the headache of hiring plumbers to tear up your walls.
Naturally, we want to make this upgrade as easy as possible for you. That is why we provide a completely free, no-obligation written estimate right at your doorstep. We take care of all the hard work so you can relax and watch your dingy bathroom transform into a beautiful oasis.
Many folks do not realize that the heavy cast iron or steel tub they already own is actually much stronger than modern plastic replacements. When you choose to restore the outer layer rather than replace the whole unit, you preserve that sturdy foundation. This process chemically bonds a high-performance acrylic coating directly onto your old fixture.
Consequently, the final result looks just like glossy porcelain but costs a fraction of the price. We carefully clean the area, patch up any chips, and spray a fresh finish that cures into a rock-hard shield. This means you get a gleaming, smooth basin that resists future wear and tear for many years to come.
To help you compare your options, we put together this quick breakdown of how our process matches up against a full remodel:
| Project Factors | Surface Restoration | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very pocket-friendly | Extremely expensive |
| Time to Complete | Just a few hours | Several days or weeks |
| Mess and Dust | Virtually none | Massive demolition dirt |
| Lifespan | Up to 10-15 years | Varies by material |
Living in a quiet, friendly place like Big Stone County means you value honest work and reliable neighbors. Our small-town pride shines through in every single project we complete for local families. We treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping our work area tidy and leaving nothing behind but a beautiful, sparkling finish.
Because we know the local area well, we understand the unique water conditions and housing styles around the 56240 ZIP code. Whether you live in a historic home with a classic clawfoot model or a cozy mid-century ranch with a built-in alcove unit, we know exactly how to handle the job. Our team works efficiently to minimize any disruption to your daily routine.
Plus, we love helping our neighbors make the most of their hard-earned dollars. With a local median household income of $50,515, we know that spending thousands on a bathroom remodel just does not make sense for most families. Our budget-friendly restoration service offers the perfect way to get that high-end look without stretching your finances.
First of all, you avoid the hidden costs of plumbing modifications. When you rip out an old tub, you almost always run into unexpected pipe issues behind the drywall. Choosing our spray-on renewal service keeps your existing drains and faucets exactly where they are, saving you from costly surprise repairs.
On top of that, the entire process takes less than a single day. You will not have to deal with contractors walking through your house for weeks on end. We slip in, do our magic, clean up our gear, and let you get back to your normal life with a gorgeous bathroom.
Initially, we prepare the surface using specialized cleaners that strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This step is absolutely crucial because the new coating needs a perfectly clean surface to stick to. We never cut corners here, ensuring that every nook and cranny is spotless.
After that, we repair any rust spots, deep scratches, or chips using a waterproof filler. Once we sand everything smooth, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue for the new finish. Finally, we spray multiple layers of our high-gloss topcoat, creating a seamless barrier that looks incredibly rich and deep.
Certainly, we believe in being completely transparent with our customers about what our service can and cannot do. While our process works miracles on dull, stained, or outdated surfaces, it cannot fix structural issues like a cracked subfloor underneath. We always inspect your fixture thoroughly beforehand to make sure it is a good candidate for this treatment.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the newly coated surface requires gentle care to stay looking its best. You will want to avoid abrasive powder cleansers or harsh scrubbing pads that can dull the glossy shine over time. Using mild soaps and a soft cloth is all it takes to keep your renewed basin sparkling clean for a decade or more.
However, the pros far outweigh the cons for the vast majority of our clients. You get a beautiful, easy-to-clean bathroom fixture that feels fresh and hygienic. It is a fantastic way to boost your home value and make your daily routine a lot more pleasant.
Perhaps you are wondering how much this convenient service will cost for your specific bathroom setup. We make it incredibly simple to find out with our fast, friendly home visits. We will look at your fixture, explain the process, and give you an accurate, free written estimate on the spot.
Since we operate right here in Graceville, Minnesota, scheduling a visit is quick and easy. We work around your busy calendar to find a time that suits you best. You will never have to worry about high-pressure sales tactics; we simply present the facts and let you decide what is best for your home.

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 Graceville, 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.
