A dull or chipped tub in Kahului 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.

Honestly, nobody tells you how crazy expensive pulling out an old cast iron tub really is until your bathroom is totally torn up. First, you gotta hire a heavy lifting crew just to haul that giant piece of metal down the hallway. On top of that, your gorgeous wall tiles usually end up totally smashed during the process...
Furthermore, taking the fast road with a fresh slick standard enamel finish actually saves you thousands of dollars instantly. Besides, you do not have to live through three weeks of dirty construction dust ruining your whole crib. Actually, local folks right here in the heart of Maui County love how fast this super quick process finishes up!
Firstly, we scrub the old surface down real good using strong eco-friendly etching acids to clean off years of nasty soap scum and gross lime scale. Next, our crew patches up all those ugly chips and dark rusty spots with super tough structural epoxy filler. Consequently, your old basin feels totally smooth under your fingers again...
| Project Step | What We Do | Your Awesome Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Cleaning | Acid wash old grime away | Eliminates hidden bacteria |
| Chip Repair | Fill deep cracks and rust | Restores factory smoothness |
| Primer Application | Spray special bonding agent | Prevents peeling forever |
| Topcoat Finish | Apply acrylic glaze layers | Creates brilliant shine |
Thereafter, we spray on a high-grade chemical quick-bonding agent that locks the fresh liquid acrylic coating straight onto your existing wash basin. Subsequently, we lay down multiple thick shiny coats of top-tier aliphatic polyurethane finishing glaze. As a result, you get a incredible mirror sheen that lasts for a super long time without yellowing!
Naturally, living in a sunny paradise zip code area like 96732 or 96733 means home upgrades usually cost way too much dough. Meanwhile, the median household income sitting around $81,614 means smart folks here want high quality work without paying ridiculous island prices. Therefore, picking a complete slick surface overhaul makes total financial sense for your wallet!
In addition, our fast morning process lets you get back to using your gorgeous shiny wash room before the weekend hits. Additionally, the final sleek look gives your whole house an instant high-class luxury upgrade without the big store price tag. Surely, you would rather spend your extra money taking your family out for a fresh fish dinner...
Surprisingly, even those super ugly avocado green or dated seventies pink wash tubs turn into bright sparkling white beauties in just one short afternoon. Plus, deep gouges from dropped shampoo bottles disappear completely under our smooth glossy resin layers. Suddenly, your outdated bathroom looks like a fancy million-dollar high-end resort!
Likewise, rust bubbling up around your bottom drain gets scraped away and neutralized so it never ever bleeds through your shiny new layer. For that reason, you do not need to worry about water leaking down into your subfloor anymore... Actually, my uncle had a terrible rusty basin in his old plantation house and this fix saved his whole floorboard!
Indeed, local island moisture and heavy salt air can destroy old porcelain wash basins crazy fast if you just ignore them. Because of that, our special chemical formulas are built extra tough to handle constant daily humidity without bubbling up. Hence, your shiny basin stays bright white and ultra clean year after year...
Moreover, local home values for our population of 32,312 residents keep climbing up real fast, so clean wash rooms really boost your home resale value big time. Furthermore, clean shiny fixtures make rental units rent out way faster to great long-term local tenants. Which means you make more cash while spending way less on labor costs!
To start off, throw away all those harsh abrasive bleaching powders and scratchy scrub sponges right away! After all, soft microfiber cloths along with regular gentle liquid dish soaps work best to keep that incredible shine glowing bright... Truly, keeping your shiny new surface clean takes almost zero actual physical effort!
| Cleaning Do's | Cleaning Don'ts |
|---|---|
| Use soft microfiber sponges | Never use abrasive scrubbing pads |
| Wash with gentle liquid soap | Avoid harsh chemical bleaches |
| Rinse with warm water after use | Don't leave heavy wet bath mats |
Also, stay away from those cheap suction cup rubber bath mats because they trap standing water and peel off your clear fresh outer glaze over time. Instead, ask our slick application crew about installing our built-in non-slip textured safety bottom during your repair project. Consequently, you stay totally safe from slipping without ruining your beautiful glossy finish!

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 Kahului, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
