All over La Paz County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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.
Look, nobody likes staring at a stained, cracked basin every single morning while trying to wake up. Fortunately, you can fix up your old washing tub without spending a huge fortune on a total replacement. Honestly, getting a shiny new finish put right over your tired surface changes everything fast!
Maybe you think kicking out your existing fixture is the only real choice you have left. Actually, tearing out old plumbing stuff creates a giant dusty mess all over your house. Plus, local dump fees near the Colorado River area will hurt your wallet pretty bad...
Besides saving tons of cash, you save heaps of time by keeping the main heavy piece right where it sits. Naturally, modern coating methods let us make that worn surface look totally brand new in just a few short hours. That means less stress for your busy week!
First, we gotta clean off all the old soap scum and nasty grime that built up over years of bath times. Chemical stripping comes next to remove any flaking layers from previous botched attempt jobs. Trust me, skipping this prep step always leads to total failure later down the road!
Subsequently, we fix up every tiny chip, deep scratch, and annoying rust spot using strong filler stuff. After sanding it smooth as glass, we spray down specialized bonding agents so the fresh coat sticks like superglue. Finally, multiple thick topcoats get applied with high tech sprayers for a super smooth finish that shines bright.
| Work Step | What We Do | How It Helps You | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deep Scrubbing | Remove soap film and hidden oils | Stops new paint from peeling off later | |
| Patch Work | Fill in chips and fix deep rust spots | Makes the bottom feel totally smooth on your feet | |
| Surface Etching | Rough up the old smooth glaze | Helps the tough spray coat stick forever | |
| Pro Topcoating | Spray high tech acrylic synthetic finish | Delivers a brilliant sheen that is easy to wipe down |
Let us talk real money for a hot minute because full remodels cost way too much these days. Demolition work alone eats up hundreds of dollars before you even buy a single new piece. Furthermore, hiring plumbers to move old pipes around drains your checking account faster than a hole in a bucket.
Alternatively, renewing what you already got costs just a small fraction of a whole bathroom overhaul. You keep all that extra hard-earned dough right in your pocket where it belongs. Consequently, you get luxury vibes while spending budget money!
Does your tub look super dull and yellowed out from hard well water deposits? Or maybe someone dropped a heavy metal tool years ago and left a nasty gouge right in the middle. Well, these annoying flaws happen to almost everybody eventually around our dry desert region.
Fortunately, modern resin liquids fill up those ugly spots until they totally vanish from sight. Even strange vintage colors like ugly avocado green or dated dusty rose can turn crisp clean white in one afternoon. Which means you can finally stop hiding your bathroom when guests come visit your place.
Once we finish up our work, keeping that bright finish looking fresh is actually pretty simple. Basically, you just gotta throw away those abrasive scrubbing powders that scratch up surfaces bad. Instead, use gentle liquid soaps and soft sponges to wash away daily grime without hurting the gloss.
Additionally, keeping leaky faucets fixed prevents water from standing on the new bottom layer forever. Doing these basic simple things ensures your renewed tub stays looking fancy for many years ahead. So you get to enjoy a sleek wash area without doing backbreaking cleaning work every weekend!
Working out in this specific desert territory requires special knowledge about extreme heat and high humidity during application work. Our team knows how to mix chemicals right so they cure super hard even when it gets scorching hot outside. Frankly, outta-state guys usually mess up the drying time because they do not understand our crazy local weather!
Moreover, we bring top gear to vent out all the heavy chemical fumes completely out your windows while working. Therefore, your whole house stays smelling nice and clean while we do our magic inside your restroom. You get awesome results without enduring terrible harsh smells for days on end.

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, 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.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
