A dull or chipped tub in Kasaan 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.
Are you tired of staring at that chipped and stained basin in your bathroom? You can actually transform the entire look of your space without spending a fortune on a complete tear-out.
Replacing an old tub involves tearing out walls and dealing with expensive plumbing changes. This process creates a massive headache and leaves you without a bathroom for weeks on end. You deserve a better way to get a clean look. Luckily, our process lets you keep your original fixture while making it look brand new. We apply a specialized coating that bonds directly to your existing porcelain or fiberglass.
This technique provides a smooth and glossy result that looks just like a brand new installation. Because we do not need to remove anything, you save thousands of dollars compared to a total renovation. Furthermore, the material we use is very durable and holds up well against daily use. You get the benefit of a modern appearance without the chaos of a construction zone. It is truly the smartest move for your home value.
When we arrive at your house, we first clean the surface of all soaps and oils. This step ensures that our coating sticks perfectly and stays smooth for years to come. Then, we repair any cracks or chips that might be hiding on your tub. Think of this as giving your bathroom a second chance at life. We take our time to fill those gaps so the final result looks seamless.
After the prep work is finished, we use a professional sprayer to apply the high-tech finish. This coating hardens into a very tough layer that resists stains and mold. Because it is non-porous, you will find it much easier to wipe clean. Plus, you get to choose from a variety of colors to match your home design. This means your bathroom will finally feel like a place of pure relaxation and joy.
Living in Kasaan, Alaska, you know how hard it can be to haul heavy construction materials to the island. Transporting a heavy new unit across the water costs a small fortune and takes forever. By choosing our service, you avoid all that shipping drama entirely. We bring everything we need right to your doorstep, saving you significant time and stress. This is exactly why so many people in the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area choose this route.
Even with a population of about seventy-five people, your home deserves to be in top shape. With a median household income around forty-five thousand dollars, you want to invest your money wisely. Instead of spending your entire savings on a remodel, you can get a beautiful result for a fraction of the cost. This leaves you with extra cash for other improvements or just some peace of mind. Every penny counts when you are maintaining a house in this unique environment.
| Benefit | Why it matters |
| Cost savings | Costs much less than a total bathroom demolition |
| Time efficiency | The work usually finishes in one single day |
| Easy maintenance | The smooth surface makes scrubbing away soap scum easy |
| Durability | Resists yellowing and peeling for many years |
Beyond the financial perks, you also gain a huge boost in visual satisfaction. There is nothing quite like stepping into a shower that looks bright, white, and clean every morning. It changes your whole attitude toward your daily routine. Because we work with high-quality resins, your fixture will remain glossy and vibrant for a long time. You will definitely notice the difference immediately after we finish the job.
Before we get started, please clear out all your personal items from the bathroom. This means removing all those bottles of shampoo, razors, and towels from the tub area. We need plenty of room to move around and set up our ventilation equipment. Since we use specialized products, keeping the area clear helps us work safely and efficiently. You will have a much better experience if you prepare the space ahead of time.
Furthermore, please make sure the bathroom is dry when we arrive for the appointment. Moisture is the enemy of a good bond, so keep the fan running or open a window. We want to ensure the environment is perfect for the new surface to cure properly. By doing these simple things, you help us deliver the highest quality result possible. We take great pride in our craft and want you to be absolutely thrilled.

Whether your tub is made of steel, cast iron, or acrylic, we have the right solution. We treat every single project as if we were working in our own homes. You deserve a professional who pays attention to the small details. That is exactly what you get when you call us to discuss your plans. Let us help you turn that old, stained tub into a highlight of your home.
Sometimes, the old fixtures are built better than the new ones you find in stores. Many older tubs have thick cast iron bases that last for decades. Tearing them out is a shame when you can simply give them a new top layer. This preserves the history of your home while giving it a modern look. You get to keep the quality of the past while enjoying the benefits of current technology.
On top of that, you reduce the amount of waste that ends up in the local dump. Instead of throwing away a perfectly good tub, you are choosing a sustainable path. This is a great choice for the environment and for your own pride of ownership. People in this beautiful region appreciate smart, sensible solutions that last. Join your neighbors who have already made the switch to this reliable method.
Once we finish the work, you should wait a full day before using the tub again. This gives the coating enough time to set and become incredibly strong. During this time, keep the door closed to keep dust away from the wet surface. Following these simple steps ensures that you get the maximum lifespan out of your new finish. You will find it very easy to care for after that initial curing period.
Now, just use mild cleaning products to keep everything looking fantastic. You do not need harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers to keep it clean anymore. A simple soft cloth and some gentle soap will do the trick perfectly. This ease of care gives you more time to enjoy your home instead of cleaning it. It really is a game-changer for anyone who values a clean and inviting home environment.

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 Kasaan, 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.
