(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.

Many homeowners assume that a chipped or dull basin belongs in the landfill. However, our specialized porcelain restoration technique breathes new life into cast iron, steel, and fiberglass units. We meticulously clean the area, repair any deep gouges, and spray a high-tech topcoat that looks incredibly shiny.
This protective layer acts as a shield against daily wear and tear. Which means you can say goodbye to scrubbing stubborn mold out of deep microscopic pores. The brand-new finish feels incredibly smooth to the touch and brings back that clean, inviting feeling you deserve.

Living in this lovely pocket of the Sunflower State means appreciating both history and smart financial decisions. Many homes in the historic Indian Hills neighborhood of Wichita, Kansas, feature sturdy older fixtures that are built like tanks. Throwing away a heavy, high-quality cast iron tub just because of a few cosmetic scratches seems like a terrible waste.
Our local refurbishing service preserves the original charm of your home while updating its look. Whether your house sits near the scenic Arkansas River or closer to the local parks, we know the exact climate challenges your property faces. We customize our bonding agents to withstand the humid summers and freezing winters of the local region.
This customized local touch ensures your newly coated surface will not peel or bubble over time. Because we live and work right here in the air capital, we treat every single home like it belongs to our neighbor. You receive premium workmanship without any of the corporate hassle.
First, our technician thoroughly preps the workspace to protect your floors and vanity from any overspray. We use a specialized acid paste to etch the old porcelain, which creates tiny microscopic ridges. This critical step ensures the new liquid acrylic adhesive holds onto the old surface with an iron grip.
Next, we fill in any unsightly chips, rust spots, or deep scratches with a durable polyester filler. After sanding everything flat, we apply a state-of-the-art molecular bonding agent. This secret weapon chemically fuses the old substrate with our premium polyurethane topcoat.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of high-gloss acrylic urethane for a deep, rich luster. This meticulous technique requires a steady hand and years of hands-on practice. Once cured, the finish delivers incredible strength and a touch of pure luxury to your daily routine.
To keep your upgraded fixture looking brand new, you must avoid abrasive bleach powders. Instead, use mild liquid soaps and soft microfiber cloths to wipe down the surface after use. This simple routine prevents soap scum buildup and protects the shiny protective glaze for up to a decade.
Additionally, never leave wet bath mats sitting on the bottom of the basin for long periods. The suction cups can trap moisture underneath and slowly weaken the chemical bond over time. By following these easy guidelines, you keep your bathroom looking like a five-star hotel room.
Think about the sheer chaos of a traditional bathroom remodel for a brief moment. You have to hire plumbers, tile setters, and trash haulers just to swap out one single fixture. Often, the old unit is larger than the doorway, requiring workers to cut it into pieces.
On the other hand, our localized enamel repair service takes place entirely within the footprint of your existing tub. We do not disturb your beautiful surrounding tile or disrupt your daily household schedule. You save thousands of hard-earned dollars that you can spend on other home improvement projects.
This approach also helps the environment by keeping heavy masonry and metal out of our local landfills. We take great pride in offering a sustainable, cost-effective solution for modern families. You get the exact look you want while keeping your sanity intact.
Are you ready to finally transform your outdated bathroom into a bright, clean sanctuary? Our friendly team is standing by to answer all your questions and explain our warrantied process. We offer completely free, no-obligation quotes to help you make the best decision for your home.
We will inspect your fixture, explain the color options, and give you an honest price upfront. There are never any hidden fees or surprise upcharges when we finish the job. Contact us today to schedule your visit and take the first step toward a beautiful bathroom refresh!
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 Indian Hills, Wichita, 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.
