A dull or chipped tub in Kodiak 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 probably stare at those dingy, scratched basins every single morning and wish they looked brand new again. Restoring the finish on your porcelain or fiberglass units lets you upgrade your bathroom without spending a fortune on a full demolition.
Updating these surfaces saves you thousands compared to a total renovation while keeping your home value high. When your tub looks tired, you deserve a fresh start that brings back that sense of ease and relaxation to your daily routine.
Usually, years of scrubbing with harsh chemicals leave the surface porous and stained beyond simple cleaning help. This creates tiny crevices where grime and mildew love to hide, making your daily scrub feel like a losing battle.
By applying a high-grade polymer coating, you seal these pores forever and create a surface that shines like glass. This process transforms your bathroom into a zone of pure tranquility and serenity, which is exactly what you want after a long day.
First, the technician arrives and masks off every inch of your walls and floors to protect your belongings from dust. Then, they strip away the old caulking and sand down the entire surface to ensure the new material bonds perfectly.
After that, they apply a specialized bonding agent that acts like a primer to hold the finish tight. Finally, they spray the new coating using professional equipment that ensures an even and smooth layer across the entire basin.
Replacing a heavy cast iron or deep soaking unit involves tearing up your plumbing and potentially breaking your floor tiles. Choosing to refinish instead keeps your existing structure intact and avoids the messy chaos of a major construction site.
On top of that, you can choose almost any color you want to match your current bathroom design scheme perfectly. This level of customization ensures that your space feels modern and stylish without requiring you to change your existing plumbing layout.
Many people wonder if this coating will peel off after a few months of normal use in their home. Because this material is essentially a high-tech synthetic finish, it stands up to hot water and soap bubbles for years if you maintain it well.
Following simple care tips like avoiding abrasive scouring pads will keep your surface looking pristine for a long time. Should you need advice on how to care for your new finish, the pros are always happy to share their trade secrets.
Living on the beautiful island of Kodiak, you know that keeping your home in top shape helps protect your property against the unique climate. With a median household income of $71,554, you want to make sure every dollar you spend provides real value and lasting results.
Whether you live in ZIP code 99615, 99619, or 99697, maintaining your bathroom fixtures preserves your investment in your property. A polished, bright white tub makes your small bathroom feel much bigger and brighter than it actually is.
Walking into a big box store might tempt you to buy a cheap spray kit for a quick weekend project. However, those store-bought products lack the strength of industrial resins and often peel away after just a few weeks of exposure to water.
Working with a professional ensures that the ventilation, chemical application, and curing process are handled with the right safety standards. You avoid the headache of a failed DIY attempt and get a result that lasts, which saves you money in the long run.

Once you reach out for a free quote, a friendly professional visits your house to assess the condition of your existing units. They examine the chips, cracks, and discoloration to determine exactly how much prep work your unique situation requires.
This visit is the perfect time for you to ask questions about the timeline and the different color choices available. Getting an expert opinion right in your own bathroom helps you feel confident about the project before any work begins.
Before the team arrives, you should remove all your personal items like shampoo bottles, loofahs, and soap dishes from the area. Clearing the space allows the team to focus entirely on the surface preparation without having to move your clutter.
If you have any leaky faucets, you should probably fix those first to prevent water drips from ruining the fresh finish. Once the area is empty and dry, the team can complete the work much faster and achieve a much better result.
Working with high-quality resins requires proper ventilation to keep the fumes moving out of your house during the application. Our team uses specialized equipment to pull air out of the room while keeping your home environment safe and secure.
On top of that, we use low-odor products whenever possible to make the whole process as pleasant as can be. You can rest easy knowing that your health and comfort are prioritized during every single step of the installation.

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 Kodiak, 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.

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.
