A dull or chipped tub in Itasca 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.
Do you look at your scarred tub with pure dread every single morning? You can actually bring that old porcelain back to life without emptying your savings account. This local service fixes chips and stains so you save thousands.
Most folks in Wisconsin think replacing a stained wash basin takes forever and costs a small fortune. Fortunately, our crew handles this messy job right inside your home in just a few hours. That means you bypass weeks of construction dust and loud contractor noise.
Tearing out a heavy iron tub ruins your bathroom walls and destroys your weekend. Instead of all that demolition work, we spray a tough new coating over the existing surface. This smart choice lets you enjoy a gorgeous look with zero structural remodeling.
Brand new fixtures cost a fortune when you factor in plumbing and tile repairs. Meanwhile, our surface restoration process cuts those expenses by up to seventy percent. This financial relief lets you spend your hard-earned cash on other household projects.
Our technicians apply industrial-grade polymers that actually fuse with your original porcelain or fiberglass. Consequently, the new finish will not peel or flake off when you scrub the walls. You get a watertight seal that handles daily family use without showing wear.
Proper preparation remains the absolute secret to a long-lasting tub transformation job. We start by etching the old surface and cleaning away decades of soap scum and body oils. This meticulous prep work ensures maximum adhesion for the fresh topcoats.
Our neighbors living around ZIP codes 54880 and neighboring zones deserve stunning homes without the heavy price tag. With a local population hovering near 27,244 residents, finding reliable tradespeople can sometimes feel tough. We proudly serve our community by showing up on time and working cleanly.
Many local homeowners share similar stories about struggling with yellowed tubs that never seem truly clean. When household incomes demand smart budgeting, replacing a functional tub just makes no financial sense. That is why our crew steps in to deliver gorgeous results for a fraction of the cost.
First, we seal off your bathroom to keep any overspray completely away from your bedroom carpets. Then, we mix our professional resins and apply them smoothly using specialized HVLP spray guns. This technique creates a glossy finish that rivals the appearance of brand new fixtures.
After we finish spraying, your bathing vessel needs about twenty-four hours to cure completely. Once that short waiting period ends, you can take a hot bath in a pristine setting. You will love how easy the smooth new surface is to wipe down.
| Upgrade Method | Average Cost | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| Full Demolition | High | One to Two Weeks |
| Surface Spraying | Low | One Single Day |
| Plastic Liners | Medium | Several Days |
Looking at the table above makes the smartest choice pretty obvious for most budget-conscious homeowners. Plastic inserts often trap moisture underneath and breed nasty mold over the years. Our liquid coating bonds tightly so water never sneaks behind the walls.
Choosing a local contractor means you get personal attention from folks who live nearby too. We care deeply about our local reputation and treat every single home with total respect. That dedication shows in the stellar feedback we receive from happy customers daily.
Some people worry that sprayed-on coatings will give off terrible chemical odors for weeks on end. Actually, our advanced ventilation fans clear the air out before we even pack our tools. You will barely notice any smell by the time evening rolls around.
Another big myth suggests that restored tubs scratch easily and look dull after just a few months. Modern polyurethane formulas resist abrasion and maintain their high gloss shine for many years. You just need to use gentle non-abrasive cleaners to keep everything looking brand new.
Avoid using harsh scouring powders or steel wool pads on your freshly coated surface. Instead, grab a soft sponge and some mild dish soap to wipe away everyday grime. This simple habit preserves the shiny gloss and prevents premature fading.
Fixing dripping faucets promptly prevents ugly rust stains from forming near the drain opening. Minerals in hard water can etch any surface if left sitting for too long without rinsing. A quick wipe down after your bath keeps the material sparkling for years.
Hidden fees and surprise charges ruin the excitement of updating your living space. We believe in honest upfront pricing so you never have to guess about the final bill. Every project gets evaluated individually based on the current condition of your fixture.
Deep chips and rust spots require extra patching work before the final spraying phase begins. Our technicians explain these minor details during our initial evaluation visit to your home. You receive all the facts upfront without any pushy sales tactics.
Stop hiding your scarred bathing area behind stained shower curtains when guests come over. You can schedule a visit from our local team to discuss your specific restoration goals. We will inspect your tub and answer all your questions honestly.
Securing your project details takes just a quick moment out of your busy schedule. Request your free estimate right now and find out how affordable your bathroom update can be. Our friendly staff is always ready to help you love your home again.
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 Itasca, 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.
