A dull or chipped tub in Kronenwetter 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.
Today we will fix that old chipped basin without breaking your wallet. This local upgrade gives you a fresh bathing zone fast. Request your free estimate right now.
Over the years everyday scrubbing strips away the original shine from your porcelain. Therefore your tub feels rough and looks stained beyond simple cleaning. This degradation traps dirt making your daily routine unpleasant.
Most homeowners in Wisconsin face this exact issue due to hard water deposits. Consequently the surface gets pitted and harbors stubborn grime. Fixing this eyesore brings back total ease during every bath.
Replacing the entire fixture creates a massive mess in your bathroom. Instead you can restore the existing unit without tearing down walls. This smart choice saves you thousands of hard earned dollars.
Our local crew arrives right at your doorstep to inspect the damage thoroughly. Then we clean the surface using specialized stripping agents to remove all soap scum. This preparation step ensures the new coating bonds permanently.
Next we repair any chips or cracks with a heavy duty filler compound. Afterwards we spray a high tech acrylic polyurethane glaze over the entire basin. This durable finish provides a brilliant glow that lasts for decades.
We rely on industrial grade bonding agents designed specifically for porcelain and fiberglass. Thus your newly coated basin resists peeling even with daily use. This superior durability lets you enjoy worry free showers every single morning.
Furthermore our low odor formulas keep your home safe during the spraying phase. This means your family breathes clean air while we work on the unit. You get stunning results without dealing with toxic chemical fumes.
Buying a brand new tub involves demolition fees and expensive plumbing labor. Meanwhile our surface renewal method finishes in just a few hours. This quick turnaround gets your bathroom back in service immediately.
Take a look at how these two options stack up against each other:
| Feature | Surface Renewal | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Low and affordable | Extremely high |
| Time Taken | A few hours | Several days |
| Mess Level | Minimal dust | Major construction debris |
Naturally this comparison shows why local residents prefer our speedy service. Choosing the restoration route keeps your remodeling project simple and stress free.
Our wonderful community boasts a population of around 7665 friendly residents. Folks here in the 54455 area code take immense pride in their properties. With a median household income of 85162 dollars people appreciate smart investments.
Winters bring freezing temperatures which make indoor improvements a top priority. Upgrading your bathing area adds cozy luxury during those long chilly months. Local homeowners constantly look for ways to enhance their living spaces affordably.
Maintaining a neat home atmosphere boosts your overall peace of mind daily. When your bathroom fixtures shine brightly the entire room feels larger. This simple upgrade transforms your daily hygiene routine completely.
Some people worry the new coating will peel off after a few months. However our multi step bonding technique guarantees long lasting adherence. This strong seal withstands boiling hot water without bubbling up.
Another myth suggests the finish looks fake or plastic like. Actually the sprayed layer mimics the smooth look of brand new porcelain. Visitors will never guess you restored your old fixture instead of buying a new one.
Cleaning the updated surface requires only mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive scrubbers to keep the shiny luster intact for many years. This easy maintenance routine saves you precious time every week.
Before we arrive please remove all personal items from around the tub area. Take down shower curtains and clear out any shampoo bottles on the edges. This empty workspace lets our technicians move quickly and efficiently.
Make sure to keep pets and small children away from the work zone. Our crew uses professional masking tape and plastic sheeting to protect surrounding tiles. This careful setup prevents any accidental overspray on your floors.
Ventilate the room by opening a nearby window if possible. Our team also brings exhaust fans to pull any residual smells outside. This thorough preparation guarantees a smooth and clean job from start to finish.
Rough patches on the bottom of the basin signal worn out enamel. If stubborn stains refuse to come out no matter what you scrub with then the protective layer is gone. Catching this wear early prevents water from damaging the subfloor underneath.
Hairline cracks can also expand rapidly if ignored during routine use. Fixing these tiny flaws right now saves you from costly emergency plumbing repairs later. Protecting your home structure always starts with proactive property upkeep.
Getting started on your bathroom upgrade takes just a few moments of your time. Reach out to our local team to discuss your specific restoration needs. We provide honest pricing without any hidden fees or surprises.

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 Kronenwetter, 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.
