A dull or chipped tub in Hansboro 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.
Maybe your bathroom currently looks like a sad time capsule from decades ago. Fortunately, you can completely restore that old, dingy wash basin to a sparkling state today. Our local team specializes in applying a durable, high-gloss synthetic coating directly over your worn-out fixtures to make them look brand new again.
This budget-friendly process saves you thousands of dollars compared to a messy demolition. Because we believe in simple honest service, you can easily request a free estimate from us right now to start your transformation. Let us help you fall in love with your bathroom all over again without breaking the bank.
First of all, ripping out an old cast iron or steel tub is an absolute nightmare. That heavy beast is usually locked behind drywall, tile, and plumbing lines. Which means you will end up paying plumbers, tile setters, and trash haulers just to get the old one out of your house.
On top of that, the labor costs for a full remodel will make your wallet cry. Meanwhile, our specialized surface restoration process takes only a few hours of work. You get to keep your sturdy existing fixture while enjoying a pristine, modern surface that feels incredibly smooth.
Actually, many older tubs are made of much better materials than the cheap plastic ones sold in stores today. By choosing to renew the surface, you preserve that heavy-duty quality. This clever shortcut gives you the exact same visual result as a brand new installation for a fraction of the price.
To help you compare your options, we created a handy table showing how these two choices stack up:
| Feature / Factor | Full Replacement Service | Our Specialized Surface Renewal |
|---|---|---|
| Total Project Cost | Extremely high (often thousands of dollars) | Very affordable and budget-friendly |
| Time to Complete | Several days or even weeks of mess | Finished in just a single day |
| Demolition Needed | Yes, requires ripping out walls and tile | None, we work with what you have |
| Lifespan of Result | Varies depending on cheap new materials | Stays beautiful for up to 10-15 years |
Naturally, you might wonder how we get the new finish to stick so well. Well, the secret lies in our incredibly meticulous preparation steps. First, we clean the old porcelain with specialized industrial solvents to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits.
After that, we carefully repair any deep chips, rust spots, or scratches with a waterproof filler. This makes the underlying structure completely smooth and stable before we apply any topcoats. Next, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old surface and the new material.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of a premium high-tech acrylic coating using professional HVLP spray equipment. This creates a thick, lustrous barrier that cures into a rock-hard shield. The final result looks just like shiny, brand new baked-on enamel.
Because the chemicals we use have a very strong odor, we take ventilation seriously. We set up heavy-duty exhaust fans with long hoses to pull the fumes completely out of your home. This ensures your family and pets do not have to breathe in any harsh smells during the application.
Additionally, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets. This step guarantees that no overspray lands on your vanity, toilet, floor, or walls. We leave your bathroom cleaner than we found it, except your tub will look absolutely gorgeous.
To keep your glossy new finish looking perfect, you must avoid abrasive cleaning powders. Bleach and scratchy scrub sponges will eventually dull the beautiful shine we create. Instead, you should use mild dish soap or gentle liquid cleaners with a soft microfiber cloth.
This simple maintenance routine ensures your upgraded wash basin remains bright and stain-resistant for many years. It is incredibly easy to keep clean because the new non-porous surface does not let dirt trap itself. You will save plenty of time on your weekly chores.
We know how embarrassing it is to host guests when your bathroom looks dirty, even after you just scrubbed it. Stained, chipped, or outdated colors like avocado green or dusty pink can make your whole house feel neglected. You deserve to feel relaxed and happy when taking a warm bath or shower.

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 Hansboro, 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.
