All over Lewis and Clark 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.
Are you tired of looking at that stained and chipped basin in your bathroom? You can actually transform your old tub into a sparkling brand-new surface without spending a fortune on a full renovation.
You might think that ripping out your old tub is the only way to get a clean look. However, this process involves massive plumbing costs and days of messy demolition inside your house. Most people do not realize that the heavy iron or porcelain base beneath the grime is usually in perfect structural shape. Choosing to keep the base saves you thousands of dollars while avoiding a complete disaster in your daily routine.
Beyond the financial savings, you keep the heavy lifting to a minimum by choosing a surface renewal instead. This specialized chemical treatment fills in all those tiny cracks and pores that collect dirt and bacteria over the years. By sealing these imperfections, you create a smooth shield that prevents grime from sticking in the first place. This means you spend much less time scrubbing and more time enjoying your space.
Furthermore, you get to choose exactly how you want your room to look with a fresh coat of high-grade synthetic resin. Whether you want a bright white finish or a soft creamy tone, the versatility of these modern coatings is truly impressive. You essentially get a factory-fresh appearance that feels great to the touch every single morning. It provides a level of physical ease that makes your morning routine much more pleasant.
Now, you are probably wondering how a liquid can turn into a rock-hard, shiny finish that lasts for years. The process starts with a deep chemical cleaning to strip away every trace of soap scum and mineral buildup. Once the surface is perfectly clean, we etch the material so the new coating grips on like a second skin. This is the secret to a long-lasting bond that will not peel or flake away under normal use.
After the preparation phase, we apply several layers of specialized acrylic urethane to ensure maximum coverage. This substance is incredibly durable and resists the harsh chemicals found in most store-bought cleaning supplies. You will be amazed at how quickly we finish the entire job, often leaving you with a functional bathroom in just one day. This rapid turnaround time is a huge benefit if you only have one bathroom in your house.
Additionally, we use high-powered ventilation fans to whisk away any fumes during the application process. This ensures that the air quality in your home remains safe while we work diligently on your fixtures. Because we take such care with our equipment, you avoid the heavy odors that you might expect from industrial painting. It is all about giving you a result that feels high-end and luxurious without the typical stress of a construction project.

When you choose to revitalize your existing fixtures, you also contribute to a greener lifestyle by keeping heavy materials out of the landfill. Many people do not realize that the old cast iron tubs in older homes are incredibly difficult to recycle. By giving yours a new lease on life, you are acting as a good steward of your property and the environment. It is a win for your wallet and a win for the planet as well.
You might be worried that a painted surface will not hold up to the heavy weight of water and soap. However, this is not just paint, as it is a specialized industrial-grade polymer designed specifically for wet environments. Once cured, this surface becomes extremely tough and resists chipping even if you accidentally drop a shampoo bottle. It maintains its luster for many years with only basic care and cleaning habits.
On top of that, you do not need to buy expensive, specialized cleaners to maintain your beautiful new surface. A simple mild detergent and a soft sponge are all you need to keep things looking pristine. You avoid the need for harsh scouring powders that scratch the finish and ruin the smooth appearance. By following these simple steps, you extend the life of your investment by a significant margin.
Since you are ready to see a major improvement in your home, the first step is to reach out for a consultation. We love walking through the process with you and answering any questions about the specific condition of your fixtures.

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.
