A dull or chipped tub in Larkfield 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.
Your old tub looks downright depressing these days. Between the ugly stains and that weird outdated color from decades ago, you probably dread taking a bath. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition crew just to get a fresh, clean bathing space again.
By choosing to restore your existing fixture, you save a mountain of cash. Our team specializes in applying a durable, high-gloss premium coating right over your current setup. This smart process makes your worn-out surface look incredibly bright and brand new in just one day.
We believe in keeping things simple and affordable for our hardworking neighbors. If you want to transform your bathroom without the headache, we are ready to help. Get in touch with us today to grab your free estimate and start planning your upgrade.
First, we clean the entire surface with specialized industrial cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This step is absolutely crucial because even a tiny bit of leftover grime will ruin the bond of our premium coating. Once the surface is completely bare, we repair any deep chips, scratches, or rusty spots using a tough waterproof filler.
Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically fuses the new finish to the old porcelain or fiberglass. This advanced chemical weld ensures that the topcoat will never peel or bubble under normal daily use. After that, we spray multiple layers of an incredibly strong acrylic urethane topcoat using professional HVLP spray equipment.
Finally, we let the new surface cure into a rock-hard, glossy protective shell that feels amazing to the touch. You get a beautiful, mirror-like shine that resists stains and makes cleaning an absolute breeze. This entire transformation takes less than eight hours from start to finish, which means you can use your shower again the very next day.
To help you understand how this compares to a traditional remodel, we put together a quick comparison table:
| Factor | Our Surface Restoration Process | Full Bathroom Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, highly budget-friendly | Extremely expensive, thousands of dollars |
| Time to Complete | Under 8 hours total | 3 to 7 days of loud construction |
| Mess and Dust | Virtually none, fully contained | Massive amounts of drywall dust and plaster debris |
| Durability | Lasts 10 to 15 years with basic care | Long-lasting but requires ongoing grout maintenance |

Plus, you avoid having dusty contractors trampling through your home for weeks on end.

Older homes in Larkfield, California, often feature heavy, high-quality cast iron tubs that are built like absolute tanks. Tearing these beasts out is a total nightmare because they are incredibly heavy and often require breaking bathroom walls to remove. Restoring the original finish preserves the classic charm and superior heat retention of these vintage fixtures.
Modern cheap plastic replacements simply do not feel as solid or hold heat nearly as well as your original tub. Our specialized coating process works beautifully on cast iron, steel, fiberglass, and even acrylic surfaces. This versatility allows us to revive almost any worn-out washbasin or shower stall you have.
Every single year, millions of pounds of old porcelain and fiberglass fixtures end up sitting in local landfills forever. Choosing to recoat your existing fixture is a fantastic way to reduce construction waste and protect our beautiful local environment. You get a gorgeous modern look while doing your part to keep our scenic northern valleys green and clean.
Furthermore, our advanced coatings are designed to stand up to daily scrubbings without wearing thin or losing their luster. We provide clear, simple maintenance instructions so you can keep your newly glazed surface shining bright for over a decade. All it takes is a quick wipe down with a mild liquid soap to maintain that brilliant, glossy finish.
Understandably, you might wonder if this process leaves a strong chemical smell in your home after we finish. We use powerful commercial exhaust systems to pull the vast majority of fumes directly out of your bathroom window during application. Any remaining faint paint odor typically vanishes completely within a few hours of us packing up our gear.
Another common question is whether you can change the color of your old pink, blue, or yellow fixture during this process. Absolutely, because we can apply a beautiful, clean bright white or a soft almond tone to instantly modernize your space. This simple color change completely transforms the vibe of your entire bathroom, making it feel way more open and airy.
If you have minor cracks or chips in your fiberglass shower pan, our tough waterproof fillers will seal those up perfectly before we spray. This structural repair prevents hidden water leaks that can rot your subfloor and cause massive mold problems later on. We make sure your fixture is completely watertight and structurally sound before we ever apply our final protective topcoat.

Our friendly team is ready to answer all your questions and help you schedule a convenient time for an on-site visit. We provide completely transparent, upfront pricing with absolutely no hidden fees or pushy sales tactics.
We take immense pride in helping our neighbors fall in love with their homes all over again.

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 Larkfield, 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.
