A dull or chipped tub in Kahoka 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.

Maybe you are wondering how we can take a chipped, yellowed cast iron basin and make it look like it just came off the factory floor. Well, our process involves deep cleaning the existing material, repairing any deep chips, and applying a highly durable topcoat. This specialized chemical bonding process creates a completely new, non-porous layer over your existing fixture.
Consequently, you do not have to worry about the mold and mildew that usually hides in old, cracked finishes. The new coating seals up every single microscopic pore where grime loves to multiply. This makes your weekly cleaning routine incredibly fast and satisfying.
On top of that, we use professional-grade bonding agents that are specifically designed to withstand daily hot water and heavy use. Our hand-applied coatings stick on a molecular level, which prevents peeling and bubbling down the road. You get the exact same look as a brand-new acrylic installation for a tiny fraction of the cost.
| Project Factor | Full Replacement Demolition | Our Surface Restoration Process |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | Three to five days of loud construction | Finished in just a few hours |
| Total Cost Comparison | Very expensive plumbing and tile repairs | Highly budget-friendly and straightforward |
| Mess and Cleanup | Heavy plaster dust and drywall debris | Virtually zero mess left behind |
As you can see from the comparison, the traditional route of tearing out your old washing basin is a massive headache. If you live in our lovely corner of Clark County, you know how hard it is to find reliable contractors who do not charge an absolute fortune. Our quick service keeps your home quiet and clean.
Naturally, keeping your original cast iron or steel fixture is also a great way to preserve the historic character of your home. Many older homes possess incredibly sturdy, heavy-duty fixtures that are actually much higher quality than the cheap plastic ones sold in stores today. We help you save that classic quality while giving it a modern, clean look.
Which means you get to keep the deep, heat-retaining properties of your heavy original tub. New plastic inserts often feel flimsy and flexible when you step inside them. Our restoration process preserves that rock-solid feeling underfoot while delivering a fresh, glossy finish.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom using protective plastic sheeting and high-powered ventilation fans. This step is super important because it keeps your indoor air clean and prevents any overspray from landing on your vanity or flooring. We treat your property with the utmost respect, just like we would treat our own grandmother's house.
Next, we use a special acid etching wash to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This exposes the original porcelain so our proprietary bonding agents can stick properly. If we find any rust spots or deep chips, we fill them in with waterproof structural fillers.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of our high-gloss acrylic urethane coating using professional HVLP spray equipment. This creates an incredibly smooth, mirror-like reflection that looks absolutely stunning. Once the material cures, you are left with a durable surface that is ready for action.
Perhaps you want to move away from that outdated 1970s pink or avocado green and embrace a clean, modern aesthetic. We offer a variety of gorgeous white and off-white shades that instantly make small spaces feel much brighter and larger. This simple color change can make your entire bathroom feel like a peaceful spa retreat.
Additionally, we can match custom colors if you want to create a truly unique look that matches your existing tile work. Our durable finishes maintain their color brilliance for many years without yellowing under sunlight. You get a beautiful, personalized space that reflects your own taste.
This lets you coordinate your walls, flooring, and fixtures without spending thousands on new materials. A bright, clean washing basin acts as the visual anchor for your entire bathroom. You will be amazed at how much cleaner the whole room feels once we finish our work.
To ensure your new finish lasts as long as possible, you just need to follow a few simple guidelines. We recommend waiting at least twenty-four to forty-eight hours before running any water in your newly coated basin. This brief waiting period allows the chemical bonds to fully cure and harden into a rock-solid shield.
When it comes to cleaning, you should absolutely avoid harsh abrasive powders or scrubby pads that can scratch the finish. Instead, a simple spray of mild dish soap or a gentle liquid cleaner keeps the surface incredibly shiny. This easy maintenance routine saves you time and physical effort during your weekly chores.
Indeed, treating your restored fixture with a little bit of care ensures it stays beautiful for up to a decade or more. We love seeing the shocked looks on our clients' faces when they see the final transformation... it truly looks like magic! We take immense pride in delivering that wow factor to every single household we visit.

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 Kahoka, 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.
