A dull or chipped tub in Hales Corners 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 tub looks pretty rough these days. Those ugly stains and scratches make the whole bathroom feel outdated and dirty. Fortunately, you can get a shiny, fresh surface without paying thousands of dollars to rip the entire unit out of your wall.
Getting a professional porcelain resurfacing job saves you tons of time and mess. Our local crew comes right to your home to spray a durable, glossy new protective coating over your existing fixture. This budget-friendly process breathes new life into your space in just a single afternoon.
We believe in keeping things simple and honest for our neighbors. If you want to see how affordable this quick transformation is, we can give you a completely free estimate today.
Many folks think they need to buy a brand-new tub when the shine wears off. Actually, our specialized surface restoration process works like absolute magic on worn-out cast iron, steel, or fiberglass. We chemically clean the old area, repair any deep chips, and bond a premium high-gloss topcoat to the original material.
This method creates a gorgeous, factory-like finish that seals out moisture and resists future stains. You get to keep your sturdy old fixture while enjoying a bright, modern look that feels incredibly smooth. On top of that, you avoid the absolute nightmare of dealing with dusty drywall demolition and expensive plumbing rerouting.
To help you understand the major differences between replacing and renewing, we put together a quick comparison table below.
| Factor | Full Replacement | Our Renewal Service |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very high (plumbing, tile, disposal fees) | Very affordable and budget-friendly |
| Time to Complete | Usually 3 to 7 days of loud construction | Finished in just 4 to 6 hours |
| Mess & Dust | Extreme drywall dust and heavy debris | Virtually none with our clean setup |
Living in a cozy village in Milwaukee County means you appreciate honest work and smart spending. With a local median household income of $72,598, most families here prefer practical home upgrades over overpriced remodeling projects. Our specialized service fits perfectly into that sensible mindset because it stretches your hard-earned dollars further.
When you update your home in the 53130 area, you want results that stand up to our cold Wisconsin winters and humid summers. Our heavy-duty bonding agents stick incredibly well to old bases, preventing any peeling or cracking when the temperature shifts. This means your fresh, clean wash space will look pristine and feel inviting for many years to come.
Since our community has about 7,666 residents, we treat every single customer like a close neighbor. You get personalized, friendly service from a team that actually cares about keeping your home clean and tidy during the project.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheets to keep overspray off your floors and vanity. This ensures that only the target area receives the specialized treatment while the rest of your home stays completely spotless. After that, we set up a powerful ventilation fan to pull all the chemical fumes safely out of your window.
Next, we apply a professional-grade acid etch to the old enamel to strip away soap scum and create microscopic pores. Which means our high-tech bonding primer can grab onto the old surface with an unbreakable, permanent grip. Then, we spray multiple layers of our synthetic acrylic coating to build up a thick, beautiful protective shell.
Finally, we remove all our tape and clean up the work area so you can inspect our craftsmanship. This leaves you with a dazzling, easy-to-clean basin that you can actually start using again after just a couple of days of curing.
Taking care of your newly coated surface is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, porous one. Because the new glaze is completely non-porous, dirt and grime cannot sink deep into the material anymore. This lets you wipe away soap residue with a simple swipe of a soft sponge and some mild dish soap.
However, you must avoid harsh abrasive powders or scratchy green scrubbing pads at all costs. Those rough tools will dull the beautiful shine over time and leave tiny scratches where mold can eventually grow. Sticking to gentle, spray-on cleaners keeps the protective barrier fully intact so it retains its brilliant luster.
If you follow these simple care steps, your upgraded fixture will look incredibly fresh for up to a decade. That is an amazing return on a small investment that takes less than a day to complete.
Do not spend another week staring at that dingy, stained basin while you take your morning shower. You deserve a clean, bright, and relaxing space that you can actually feel proud of when guests visit. Our friendly team is ready to drive out to your property and help you plan this simple transformation.
We pride ourselves on offering clear, honest pricing with absolutely no hidden fees or pushy sales tactics. This lets you make the best decision for your budget and your home without feeling any unnecessary pressure. We will walk you through the whole process and show you exactly what to expect from start to finish.

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 Hales Corners, 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.
