All over Lander 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.
Maybe you look at your tub every morning and feel like crying because it looks so dingy and stained.
Fortunately, you do not have to spend a fortune on a massive remodeling project just to get that clean feel back.
Our local team specializes in restoring that beautiful, glossy finish directly to your existing fixture without the mess of demolition.
Actually, we can make your worn-out tub look brand new in just a few hours.
This means you save thousands of dollars compared to buying a replacement.
On top of that, we always offer a completely free estimate so you know the exact cost before we even start.
Let us face the truth about traditional remodeling because it usually turns into a total nightmare.
Workers tear up your walls, create heaps of toxic dust, and leave you without a functioning bathroom for weeks.
By choosing to resurface your tub instead, you skip all that unnecessary chaos and keep your sanity intact.
Our specialized process bonds a high-performance liquid acrylic coating directly onto your old porcelain or fiberglass surface.
This clever method fills in ugly chips, covers stubborn rust spots, and seals away moldy pores.
Consequently, you get a pristine, ultra-smooth surface that resists future staining and feels incredibly luxurious.
Many homeowners worry that a sprayed-on finish might look cheap or peel off quickly.
However, our professional crew uses industrial-grade bonding agents and meticulous prep work to ensure a long-lasting chemical weld.
As a result of this deep preparation, your restored fixture will easily withstand daily use for many years to come.
First, we clean the entire area with heavy-duty alkaline solutions to strip away decades of soap scum and body oils.
If we do not remove every single trace of residue, the new coating simply will not stick properly.
Therefore, we take our time during this critical phase to guarantee a flawless foundation.
Next, we carefully repair any deep cracks, scratches, or rusty patches with a specialized waterproof filler.
Once those spots are smooth, we apply a proprietary acid etch that creates microscopic pores in the original glaze.
This step is vital because it allows our specialized primer to lock itself deep into the old material.
Finally, we spray several coats of a top-tier aliphatic acrylic polyurethane using high-volume low-pressure equipment.
This advanced technique prevents runs and orange-peel texture, leaving a mirror-like sheen.
After a brief curing period, your renewed fixture is ready for action, and your bathroom looks fantastic again.

|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very budget-friendly | Extremely expensive |

Living out here in the beautiful high desert of the Silver State means we value hard work and honest prices.
Our service area covers the local communities tucked away in Lander County, Nevada, where folks appreciate reliable, neighborly service.
Whether you live near the historic mining districts or closer to the major highway corridors, we travel straight to your doorstep.
We understand the unique water conditions in this part of the Great Basin, which often leave harsh mineral deposits on your fixtures.
Our rugged coatings are specifically engineered to resist the mineral buildup common in local water systems.
Which means you will spend far less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemicals.
Because we live and work in this scenic region, we treat every home with the utmost respect.
We mask off your entire bathroom with protective plastic and use strong exhaust fans to pull any fumes safely outdoors.
This attention to detail ensures your home stays clean, safe, and smelling fresh throughout the entire job.
Once we finish our magic, keeping your tub looking spectacular is actually incredibly simple.
You must avoid abrasive powder cleansers and scratchy green scrubbing pads because they can dull the glossy finish over time.
Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or gentle liquid cleaners with a soft microfiber cloth.
Another great tip is to wipe down the wet surfaces with a squeegee or a soft towel after your shower.
This quick habit prevents hard water spots from forming and keeps the shine looking brand new.
Clearly, a little bit of preventive care goes a very long way in preserving your investment.
We also advise against leaving wet washcloths or heavy bottles of shampoo sitting on the ledge for weeks on end.
Moisture trapped under these items can eventually weaken the bond of any coating.
By keeping the surface dry and clear, you ensure the finish stays bright and beautiful for over a decade.
Why should you spend another day showering in a dingy, stained, or outdated bathroom?

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.
