A dull or chipped tub in Indianapolis 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.

Many homeowners assume that a chipped or yellowed washing basin is a total goner. Actually, a professional bonding agent and high-quality acrylic coatings can make old porcelain or fiberglass look pristine. Our process involves deep cleaning the area to remove years of soap scum and mineral deposits.
After we prep the surface, we apply a state-of-the-art primer that fuses the new finish to the old substrate. This steps prevents any peeling or bubbling down the road, ensuring your peace of mind. Then, we spray on multiple coats of a specialized topcoat that hardens into a durable, glassy shell.
This method works wonders on cast iron, steel, and modern composite materials alike. Since we do not rip out the plumbing, you avoid the nightmare of dealing with leaky pipes behind the walls. You get a beautiful, clean space to wash up without any of the typical construction headaches.
You might see cheap rolled-on coating kits at the local home improvement store and think it looks easy. However, those retail products lack the industrial-strength chemical compounds that professionals use to guarantee a long-lasting bond. Without the proper ventilation gear and professional spray guns, you might end up with a bumpy, streaky mess that peels off in months.
Our experienced crew carries top-tier equipment that lays down a perfectly level, factory-like finish every single time. This saves you from the frustration of doing the job twice and spending double the money. Trusting a local hand ensures the job gets done right on the very first try.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheets to keep your home clean and safe. This step protects your walls, floors, and fixtures from any overspray or dust. We also set up heavy-duty exhaust fans to pull any fumes directly out of your house through the nearest window.
Next, we meticulously repair any deep scratches, rust spots, or chips using a waterproof filler. Once we spray the final coats, the chemical curing process begins, requiring just a bit of patience. Within twenty-four to forty-eight hours, your glossy new surface is completely cured and ready for a relaxing soak.
When you start looking at the costs of buying a brand new tub, the price tag can look pretty deceptive. Although a basic new basin might only cost a few hundred dollars at the store, the installation costs are where things get painful. You often have to hire a plumber, a tiler, and sometimes a drywall expert just to get the new unit in place.
| Project Factor | Complete Replacement | Professional Surface Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | One to two weeks of loud construction | Finished in just a single afternoon |
| Demolition Mess | Tons of plaster dust and broken tiles | Virtually zero mess left behind |
| Average Cost | Very expensive due to multi-trade labor | Highly budget-friendly and straightforward |
| Plumbing Hazards | High risk of disturbing old, fragile pipes | No plumbing modifications required at all |
Choosing to restore the existing structure eliminates all of those extra labor costs completely. Which means you get to enjoy a gorgeous result without living in a chaotic construction zone for weeks. It is the ultimate shortcut to a beautiful washroom that looks like it belongs in a fancy home design magazine.

For some context on our service area, we operate across Marion County, which boasts a vibrant population of 857,637 residents. Many hard-working families here, where the median household income sits around $46,442, appreciate smart ways to stretch their home improvement dollars. We frequently visit neighborhoods in ZIP codes like 46201, 46202, 46203, and 46204 to give old fixtures a stunning second life.
Living in Indiana means dealing with chilly winters and humid summers, which can sometimes cause houses to shift and settle. Our flexible, high-performance coatings are designed to withstand these temperature swings without cracking. You can trust that our work is built to handle the daily wear and tear of active Hoosier households.
Once we finish our magic, maintaining that brilliant, light-reflecting shine is actually incredibly simple. You must avoid abrasive bleach powders or harsh scrubbing pads that can scratch the protective topcoat. Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners along with a soft microfiber cloth.
This easy care routine prevents soap scum from building up and keeps the surface looking brand new. Additionally, making sure your faucets do not drip continuously will protect the finish from hard water stains. Taking these simple steps ensures your wash area remains a beautiful, inviting space for a very long time.
Remember that a little bit of prevention goes a long way in preserving that glossy look. If you treat the restored surface with just a little bit of respect, it will reward you with years of faithful service. It is a simple habit that protects your investment and keeps your bathroom looking spectacular.

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 Indianapolis, 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.
