A dull or chipped tub in Hillsboro 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 can instantly transform your dingy bathroom today. Our professional local crew specializes in reviving worn out surfaces to a brilliant shine. Best of all, we offer a free quote to get your project moving fast.
Let us face the truth about home improvement projects. Replacing that old tub is a massive headache that drains your wallet. You have to pay for plumbers, tile setters, and haulers just to get rid of the old cast iron beast. Fortunately, our team brings a smarter option directly to your doorstep in Montgomery County.
This clever process saves you thousands of dollars while delivering a gorgeous surface. We carefully prep your existing fixture and apply a high tech coating that looks brand new. Because of this, you get to skip the weeks of construction noise and messy drywall dust. You will love how easy it is to upgrade your space on a budget.
First, our technicians clean the entire surface with specialized solutions to strip away years of soap scum. This critical step ensures the new materials bond perfectly to the old porcelain or fiberglass. Actually, skipping this deep prep work is why cheap DIY kits fail after just a few weeks. We take our time to make sure everything is microscopically clean.
Next, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots that make your tub look ancient. This lets us create a completely flat and smooth foundation before we spray the topcoats. Which means you will not feel those annoying bumps or cracks under your feet anymore. Our attention to detail ensures a flawless finish that stands the test of time.
Finally, we apply a high performance acrylic polyurethane coating using professional ventilation equipment. This advanced material creates a non porous barrier that resists stains and handles daily wear with ease. After a short curing period, you get a gleaming surface that rivals the look of a brand new fixture. It is truly like magic watching the old color disappear under a fresh white coat.
To help you compare your options, we put together a quick breakdown of what to expect:
| Project Factor | Full Replacement | Our Professional Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High (Thousands) | Very Affordable |
| Time Required | 3 to 7 Days of Mess | Less than 24 Hours |
| Durability | Long Lasting | Excellent with Proper Care |
Since we live and work nearby, we treat your home with the utmost respect. You are not just another number on a corporate spreadsheet to our friendly crew. Indeed, we understand that local families with a median household income of around $50,601 want real value for their hard earned dollars. We deliver top tier craftsmanship without the premium price tag.
On top of that, we know the specific challenges of homes in this beautiful region of Illinois. Many older properties here feature sturdy vintage fixtures that are actually worth saving. Replacing them often means destroying beautiful original plaster work or unique tile designs. Our process preserves that historic charm while updating the color to a clean, modern shade.
Naturally, we bring all our own professional tools and clean up every bit of debris before we leave. This lets you relax while we do all the heavy lifting and precise spraying. You will appreciate our punctual service and clear communication throughout the entire job. We make sure you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.
This technique relies on chemical bonding agents that fuse the new layers directly to the original substrate. Unlike standard household paint, our commercial grade coatings are designed specifically for wet environments. This prevents water from getting underneath the surface and causing unsightly peeling or bubbling. We never cut corners on our material quality.
Now, you might wonder if this process smells bad while we work. While there is a temporary odor, we use powerful exhaust fans to pull the fumes out through the nearest window. This keeps your indoor air clean and comfortable for your family and pets. Within a few hours of completion, the scent dissipates completely.
Maintaining your shiny new surface is incredibly simple and requires very little effort. You just need to avoid harsh abrasive cleaners like bleach or gritty scrubbing powders. Instead, use mild dish soap and a soft sponge to wipe away water spots. This simple habit keeps the gloss looking pristine for many years to come.
Additionally, we recommend staying away from suction cup bath mats. These mats can trap water underneath and slowly weaken the bond of the new finish over time. Alternatively, we can apply a built in slip resistant texture to the bottom of your tub during our process. This keeps you safe without damaging your beautiful new coating.
If you are trying to rent out a property or sell a home, first impressions are everything. A stained, yellowed bathing area instantly turns off potential buyers and renters. Fortunately, our service offers a massive return on investment by making the whole bathroom look modern. You can raise your property value without spending a fortune on remodeling.
Furthermore, we work fast to minimize vacancy times for rental properties. We can often complete the entire transformation in a single afternoon. Which means your new tenants can move in and use the shower the very next day. It is the ultimate shortcut to a successful property flip or rental upgrade.
Consider the benefits of choosing this smart approach for your property:
| Benefit | What This Means For You |
|---|---|
| Stain Resistance | No more scrubbing tough hard water rings |
| Color Customization | Say goodbye to outdated pink or green porcelain |
| Eco-Friendly Choice | Keeps heavy cast iron out of local landfills |

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 Hillsboro, 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.
