A dull or chipped tub in Gunn City 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.
You wake up every single morning only to stare at that ugly, stained basin in your washroom. Over the years, the once brilliant surface has gathered nasty scratches and a dull yellowish tint that just won't scrub away. Fortunately, a highly practical local alternative exists to save you from the messy nightmare of a full demolition job.
By choosing to refinish your existing tub instead of ripping it out, you instantly bypass the massive headache of hiring expensive plumbers. This smart process breathes fresh life into worn porcelain or fiberglass while keeping your hard-earned cash right in your pocket. Truly, you can enjoy a sparkling, modern washroom without the weeks of dust and chaotic noise.
We travel directly to your home to deliver a gorgeous glossy finish that looks identical to a brand new showroom model. Our team loves helping homeowners fall in love with their bathing spaces all over again. If you want to see how affordable this transformation is, we can provide a free estimate tailored to your project.
To put it simply, this specialized trade is all about chemistry and meticulous preparation. Many folks assume we just slap a fresh coat of glossy paint over the old surface, but that cheap approach would peel off within a single month. Instead, our process involves stripping away old oils, repairing deep chips, and applying a industrial bond that fuses with the original structure.
This careful sequence of steps ensures your newly coated surface resists hot water and daily wear for many years to come. Because we use top tier bonding agents, you get a beautiful finish that feels incredibly smooth to the touch. On top of that, the entire process takes less than a single day to complete.
To help you visualize the comparison between our premium surface renewal and a complete replacement, we compiled some key details below.
| Factor to Consider | Our Renewal Process | Full Replacement Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Total Project Cost | Very budget friendly and predictable | Extremely expensive with hidden plumbing fees |
| Time to Complete | Finished in just a few hours | Can drag on for weeks at a time |
| Mess and Cleanup | Virtually none, we clean as we go | Heavy drywall dust and broken tile waste |
| Lifespan | Lasts for many years with proper care | Long lasting but requires major construction |

First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom to protect your vanity, floors, and walls from any overspray. Next, we apply a specialized cleaning agent to dissolve decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This deep cleaning stage is absolutely vital because any leftover residue will ruin the adhesion of the new coating.
Once the surface is completely pristine, we repair any deep gouges, rust spots, or cracks using a heavy duty filler. After sanding those patches flat, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding primer that acts like industrial glue. This critical step ensures the shiny topcoat fuses perfectly to the old porcelain foundation.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of a high-performance acrylic polymer coating over the prepped surface. This advanced material cures into an incredibly hard, glossy shell that looks just like brand new porcelain. Now, you can step back and admire a sparkling washroom that looks like it belongs in a five-star hotel.
While classic glossy white remains the most popular choice for local homes, you can actually choose from several modern shades. This flexibility lets you coordinate your renewed fixture with your existing wall tiles and bathroom decor. Which means you can wave goodbye to that outdated 1970s pink or avocado green without buying a new tub.
Our premium coatings also offer exceptional slip resistance to make your daily shower routine much safer. We can even add a subtle textured grip to the bottom of the basin during the spraying process. This thoughtful addition provides extra safety for young children and elderly family members alike.
To keep your restored fixture looking immaculate, you must avoid abrasive cleaners like steel wool or harsh bleaching powders. Instead, you should use mild dish soap or gentle foaming bathroom sprays along with a soft microfiber cloth. This simple maintenance routine prevents microscopic scratches and keeps that brilliant shine alive for a decade.
Additionally, you want to make sure your bathroom faucets do not leak or drip constantly over the same spot. Continuous water dripping can eventually wear down even the toughest industrial coatings over time. By fixing leaky taps quickly, you protect your home investment and preserve the gorgeous gloss of your renewed washroom.
Perhaps you are still wondering if your specific fixture is a good candidate for this cost-effective restoration. We invite you to reach out to us so we can discuss the details of your project. Our friendly team is always happy to answer your questions and guide you through the options.

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 Gunn City, 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.
