A dull or chipped tub in Lakeview 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.

Many homeowners assume they have to buy a brand new basin when the old one starts looking dull.
However, removing an old built in tub usually means breaking tiles and cutting into plumbing lines.
This extra work quickly blows your budget out of high school proportions and leaves your house in a total mess for weeks.
On top of that, older tubs are often made of incredibly sturdy materials that modern cheap plastic units cannot match.
Keeping your original heavy duty fixture preserves the solid structure of your bathroom while protecting the environment from extra landfill waste.
Our high quality chemical bonding process breathes new life into that sturdy piece of history so it looks brand new again.
Think about the sheer convenience of having a sparkling clean surface ready to use in just a couple of days.
You will not have to coordinate with plumbers, tile setters, or drywall patchers to get a gorgeous result.
We handle the entire surface preparation and coating application in one seamless visit to your residence.
To achieve a finish that lasts for years, we follow a very strict multi step preparation protocol.
First, we strip away old DIY paint jobs and scrub the surface with industrial strength cleaners to remove soap scum.
This critical step ensures the new coating sticks permanently instead of peeling off after a few hot showers.
Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks using specialized polyester fillers.
Once the surface is completely flat and dry, we spray a proprietary bonding agent that fuses the old material with the new topcoat.
This advanced molecular bond prevents moisture from getting underneath the shiny new layer over time.
Finally, we apply several coats of high gloss acrylic urethane using a professional spray system.
This specific material mimics the original porcelain look while providing excellent resistance to impact and harsh cleaning chemicals.
The end result is a glassy, ultra smooth surface that makes your whole bathroom feel clean and inviting again.
When you want to update your washing area, you generally have three main routes to choose from.
To help you make the smartest choice for your home, we put together a simple comparison table of these popular methods.
| Renovation Method | Average Time Required | Mess and Dust Level | Expected Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Fixture Replacement | 1 to 2 Weeks | Extremely High | 20+ Years |
| Plastic Tub Liners | 1 to 2 Days | Low but Traps Water | 3 to 5 Years |
| Professional Surface Coating | 4 to 6 Hours | Very Low (Vented) | 10 to 15 Years |
As you can see, our specialized spray on restoration service offers the absolute best balance of speed, cost, and longevity.
Liners might seem easy, but they often trap dirty bathwater underneath, which leads to nasty mold smells and costly plumbing repairs.
Our seamless chemical glaze seals everything tight so water never finds a way to hide or cause damage.
We know how annoying it is to have service technicians tracking dirt through your living room.
That is why our friendly technicians always lay down heavy drop cloths and tape off your walls before touching your fixture.
We treat your home with the utmost respect and leave the work area cleaner than we found it.
Since the chemical bonding agents carry a very strong paint smell, we set up industrial exhaust fans.
These high powered blowers pull the fumes directly out of your bathroom window so your family can breathe easily during the process.
Once the final coat is dry, the smell dissipates quickly and leaves behind nothing but a beautiful, glossy shine.
After we pack up our tools, we explain how to care for your newly glazed surface so it stays pristine.
Avoiding abrasive bleach powders and scratchy scrub sponges will keep that glass like finish looking bright for more than a decade.
We believe in educating our customers so you get the absolute most value out of our service.

That is why we keep our prices fair and honest, ensuring every family can afford a clean and sanitary place to bathe.
We serve the local ZIP codes with pride and always offer transparent, written estimates before starting any physical work.
You will never have to worry about hidden fees or surprise charges when the bill arrives.
Our honest approach has built a strong reputation among your neighbors who value quality craftsmanship and friendly service.
To help us work as efficiently as possible, we ask that you remove all shampoo bottles, soaps, and shower curtains.
Clearing out the clutter gives our technician plenty of room to move around and spray the coating from every angle.
It also prevents stray dust particles from landing on the wet glaze while it cures.
Please make sure your dripping faucets are fully repaired before our scheduled appointment time.
Even a single drop of water falling onto the fresh glaze during the curing process can ruin the smooth finish.
Taking care of those leaky valves beforehand ensures a flawless, bulletproof cure that will stand up to daily use.
Keeping your newly glazed tub clean is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, porous porcelain surface.
Because the new acrylic coating is completely non porous, dirt and soap scum cannot grip onto the smooth material.
A quick wipe down with a mild dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth is all it takes to maintain that mirror finish.
You should always avoid using suction cup bath mats on your refinished surface because they can pull at the glaze.
If you need extra traction, we can easily apply a permanent slip resistant texture to the bottom of the tub during our visit.
This added safety feature protects your family from slips and falls while keeping the coating perfectly intact.
You do not have to live with a stained, rusty, or hard to clean tub for another single day.

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 Lakeview, 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.
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.
