A dull or chipped tub in Lake Wynonah 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 wake up, walk into your washroom, and find yourself staring at a dull, dated, or chipped tub that looks like it belongs in a bygone era. Replacing that heavy fixture requires ripping out walls, hiring expensive plumbers, and dealing with days of chaotic construction dust. Fortunately, you can completely restore the slick, glossy shine of your existing basin in just a few hours without breaking the bank.
This budget-friendly alternative breathes new life into worn-out acrylic, porcelain, or cast iron surfaces. Our local crew handles everything right on site, which means you get a glittering, fresh bathroom setup before the weekend starts. Contact us today to secure your free on-site assessment and discover how simple it is to transform your space.
First, we meticulously clean the entire area to remove decades of soap scum, body oils, and stubborn mineral deposits. This deep preparation step is absolutely vital because any leftover residue will prevent the new bonding agents from sticking properly. After that, we repair any deep scratches, rust spots, or unsightly chips using a specialized structural filler that cures rapidly.
Next, our technicians apply a highly advanced chemical bonding agent to ensure the new layers fuse permanently with the old substrate. We then spray several ultra-thin coats of a premium high-tech acrylic polymer coating across the entire basin. This precise spraying technique creates an incredibly smooth finish that looks identical to brand-new factory porcelain.
Finally, we allow the durable topcoat to cure completely, which usually takes about twenty-four hours before you can use it. Once finished, you are left with a glittering, easy-to-clean basin that resists future stains and scratches. This fast turnaround keeps your household running smoothly without the headache of a non-functional bathroom for weeks on end.

| Average Cost | Highly affordable | Very expensive |
| Mess & Demolition | Virtually none | Major dust and debris |
| Lifespan | 10 to 15 years with proper care | 20+ years |

Choosing this specialized spray-on restoration method saves you up to seventy percent of the total cost of purchasing a brand-new fixture. Since you do not have to pay for costly demolition, old debris disposal, or complex plumbing rerouting, you keep your expenses incredibly low. Those saved funds can go toward other home improvement projects or a fun family weekend on the water.
Another major advantage involves preserving the charming character of older, heavy-duty cast iron tubs that are built like tanks. Modern replacement options are often made of flimsy plastic materials that flex when you step inside and lose heat quickly. Retaining your original, heavy-duty basin means you keep that superior heat retention for long, relaxing baths.
On top of that, the newly applied non-porous topcoat makes routine cleaning an absolute breeze for your family. You will no longer need to scrub on your hands and knees with harsh abrasive chemicals that damage your lungs. A simple wipe-down with a mild, eco-friendly soap keeps that brilliant shine sparkling for many years to come.
We believe in total transparency, which is why we want you to understand both sides of this home improvement service. The obvious benefits include rapid completion times, massive cost savings, and a beautiful shiny surface that looks pristine. It also prevents landfill waste by keeping a perfectly solid, functional fixture out of the local dump.
However, you must remember that this process is not a permanent, lifetime fix like buying a brand-new premium cast iron unit. If you drop heavy metal tools or use harsh abrasive cleaners on the restored surface, it can chip or dull prematurely. That is why we provide detailed care instructions to ensure you get the absolute maximum lifespan from your investment.
Additionally, the application process does produce a temporary, strong chemical odor while the polyurethane coatings are being sprayed. To protect your indoor air quality, we set up industrial-grade exhaust fans and window ventilation systems to draw fumes outside. This scent dissipates quickly, leaving your bathroom smelling fresh and clean within a day of completion.
Many people believe that cheap DIY paint kits from the local hardware store will yield the exact same results as a pro. Unfortunately, those brush-on store kits do not contain the industrial bonding agents required to fuse with slick porcelain. Within a few months, those cheap store-bought coatings start to peel off in large, ugly sheets that look worse than before.
Another common myth is that every old, stained basin is beyond saving and must be thrown in the trash. In reality, even severe rust stains, deep chips, and ugly discoloration can be completely repaired by a skilled technician. Our advanced restoration process makes even the most neglected surfaces look like they were manufactured yesterday.
Some folks also worry that the newly applied glaze will look like a cheap, thick layer of paint. Because we use professional-grade HVLP spray systems, the coating is applied in microscopic, even layers that flow out perfectly flat. This creates a brilliant, glass-like reflection that feels completely seamless to the touch.
Keeping your newly glazed surface looking gorgeous requires very little effort, but you must avoid abrasive cleaning products. Avoid using steel wool, harsh scrubbing pads, or powdery cleansers that act like sandpaper on the glossy finish. Instead, opt for a soft microfiber cloth and a gentle spray cleaner designed for delicate surfaces.
It is also a smart idea to repair any dripping faucets promptly to prevent constant water pooling in one spot. Over time, a steady drip of water can wear down the protective topcoat and create mineral deposits that stain the surface. Taking care of your plumbing fixtures helps protect your beautiful new finish for the long haul.
Lastly, avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo, heavy metal shaving cream cans, or damp washcloths sitting directly on the rim. Moisture trapped underneath these items can weaken the bond of the coating over several months of neglect. Using a simple hanging shower caddy keeps your bath area organized and protects your gorgeous investment.

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 Lake Wynonah, 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.
