A dull or chipped tub in John Day 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 will love how easy it is to watch those ugly stains and scratches disappear forever.
Actually, this specialized process is much more than just a quick coat of shiny paint.
Our team uses a professional-grade bonding agent that fuses directly to your old cast iron or acrylic basin.
This means the new coating will not peel off when you take a hot, steamy shower.
First, we meticulously clean the area to remove every single trace of soap scum and body oils.
After that step, we repair any deep chips or rust spots that have been bothering you for years.
Then we spray a high-performance polyurethane acrylic topcoat that cures into a rock-hard shield.
Consequently, your old fixture gets a second lease on life.
This durable glaze resists scratches and keeps its beautiful shine for a very long time.
You get a sparkling bathroom without the massive headache of a traditional remodel.
Think about the sheer mess of ripping out a heavy cast iron tub.
You usually have to break tiles, cut drywall, and pay a plumber a small fortune to install new pipes.
With our on-site restoration, we complete the entire job in just a few hours without touching your walls.
This choice protects your wallet from unexpected plumbing disasters.
Furthermore, you keep durable vintage materials in your home instead of replacing them with cheap modern plastic.
It is the ultimate shortcut to a beautiful bathroom that looks like a million bucks.
To help you compare your options, we created a handy breakdown of what you can expect:
| Project Factor | Our Specialized Refinishing | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden fees |
| Time to Complete | Finished in less than one single day | Can take up to a week or more |
| Mess and Dust | Almost none because we mask everything | Massive amounts of drywall and plaster dust |
| Durability | Lasts for many years with basic care | Depends on the quality of the new tub |
Clearly, the benefits of choosing a smart restoration are hard to ignore.
You save precious time while achieving the exact same clean aesthetic.
Which means you can spend your hard-earned money on other fun home improvement projects.

Whether you live near the historic downtown area or further out in ZIP code 97845, we are happy to drive to your property.
We understand the unique water conditions in our region that can cause ugly orange mineral stains over time.
Our durable sealants are specifically designed to resist these tough mineral deposits so your basin stays bright white.
By hiring a local contractor, you get personalized service from someone who truly cares about our community.
We treat your home with the utmost respect and leave our workspace absolutely spotless.
You can trust us to deliver top-tier results that make your daily routine feel far more relaxing.
Before we begin spraying, we carefully set up heavy-duty exhaust fans to pull all odors out of your house.
This keeps your indoor air clean and safe while we work our magic.
Next, we apply a special acid etching solution that creates tiny, microscopic pores in the old porcelain.
These tiny pores allow our advanced primer to grip the old surface with incredible strength.
After the primer cures, we apply multiple thin coats of our high-gloss protective finish.
The final result is a ultra-smooth surface that feels incredibly soft to the touch and looks brand new.
Finally, we remove all our protective masking tape and clean up our gear.
You only have to wait a brief curing period before you can enjoy a warm, soothing soak.
It is a simple, stress-free process that delivers instant gratification.
To keep your restored fixture looking pristine, you must avoid harsh abrasive cleaners.
Scrubbing powders and steel wool will scratch the beautiful new finish and dull its shine over time.
Instead, you should use mild dish soap and a soft sponge to wipe down the surface.
This simple cleaning routine keeps the non-porous glaze looking like glass for years to come.
Additionally, you should fix leaky faucets quickly to prevent standing water from wearing down the finish.
Taking care of your investment is incredibly easy when you follow these basic guidelines.
Another great tip is to avoid using cheap rubber bath mats with suction cups underneath.
These suction cups can trap water and pull at the new glaze over time.
We can actually apply a built-in slip-resistant texture to the bottom of your tub during our process for added safety.
Now is the perfect time to stop ignoring that outdated, stained bathroom fixture.
You do not have to live with an embarrassing washroom that makes you cringe when guests visit.
Our team is ready to provide a completely free, no-obligation estimate tailored to your budget.

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 John Day, 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.
