In Library District, the Kansas City technician we send repairs, sprays and caulks your tub where it stands.
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 probably look at that scratched, yellowing basin in your bathroom and feel a bit disappointed. Bringing a fresh look to your space doesn't require a massive demolition or spending thousands on a total remodel.
That old surface is likely hiding a very solid structure underneath just waiting for a second chance. You can transform the entire vibe of your room without creating a mountain of construction waste.
Basically, we use a specialized chemical bonding agent to apply a new, durable finish directly over your existing unit. This process gives you a smooth and shiny surface that looks brand new again.
Because we handle this on-site, you avoid the headache of removing heavy plumbing fixtures and tiles. It effectively fills in those tiny chips and cracks that usually collect grime over the years.
Thinking about the mess, you might worry, but this method is surprisingly clean for such a dramatic change. We use industrial-grade ventilation to keep the fumes moving out of your home while we work.
Most jobs wrap up in a single day, letting you get back to your routine quickly. Your bathroom will feel refreshed and ready for guests, which is a major win for your home.
Replacing a heavy cast iron or steel basin is a nightmare of broken tiles and plumbing rerouting. You would likely pay a contractor a fortune just to get the old unit out the door.
Choosing to restore instead of replace saves you a ton of cash and prevents a headache. You keep the classic shape you like while ditching the ugly stains that never seem to scrub away.
Consider the environmental impact of dumping a perfectly good, albeit ugly, fixture into a landfill. Choosing to restore is a responsible move that keeps your project footprint small and manageable.
| Benefit | Outcome |
| Lower Cost | Keep more money in your pocket |
| Less Time | Bathroom ready by the evening |
| No Demo | No damaged walls or loose tiles |
First, we mask off all the surrounding areas to protect your floors and walls from any overspray. This careful prep work ensures that the final result is neat and professional looking.
Next, we strip away all the old caulk and clean the surface with strong acid cleaners. This step removes soap scum and lime deposits that prevent the new finish from sticking properly.
Then, we apply a primer coat to create a strong bridge between the old and the new. This chemical bond is the secret to a long-lasting finish that holds up against daily usage.
Finally, we spray on the top coat in multiple thin layers to create a glossy sheen. This finish offers a high level of ease, making your daily scrub-downs much faster and simpler.
You might be wondering if you are stuck with plain white for your updated basin. Actually, we offer a variety of tones to match the specific aesthetic of your beautiful home.
Many people choose a crisp, clean white to make the room feel bigger and brighter. Others go for soft almond or even custom grays to give the bathroom a unique, modern touch.
Since this neighborhood is part of the larger landscape of our region, we understand the local style. Your home is a part of the history here and deserves careful, thoughtful maintenance.
With an average household income that varies across the broader area, we keep our pricing fair. We provide a complimentary estimate so you know exactly what the job will cost upfront.
Sometimes the surface has deep gouges that look like permanent scars from heavy objects dropped inside. Our repair process fills these voids with a resin material that cures harder than the original finish.
Once we sand the area smooth, you cannot even tell where the damage used to be. This level of craftsmanship ensures your fixture looks smooth and retains its structural integrity.
Ignoring these cracks for too long can lead to water seeping underneath the outer layer. This moisture can cause rust or mold issues that are much harder to fix later on.
Fixing these small problems now is the best way to avoid a full fixture failure. You save money and prevent the need for more expensive repairs down the road.
After the work is finished, you just need to follow some simple rules for maintenance. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool pads that could scratch the new finish.
Instead, stick to mild liquid soaps and a soft sponge to keep everything shining bright. This gentle approach ensures that the protective barrier stays intact for many years of service.
The finish is designed to be highly resistant to staining and yellowing over time. You will notice that water beads right off, which helps prevent hard water spots.
You are gaining a surface that feels luxurious to the touch and looks impeccable. Everyone who walks into your bathroom will think you paid for a full custom renovation.
If you are ready to upgrade your space, reach out to get a free estimate. We visit your home to inspect the unit and provide a transparent quote for the work.

The process is straightforward and avoids the chaos of a traditional home improvement project. We pride ourselves on clear communication and showing up exactly when we promise to arrive.
When you look at the total cost of a bathroom overhaul, it adds up fast. You have to account for labor, materials, and the inevitable cost of fixing the surrounding tile work.
Choosing to restore your basin is the smartest way to stretch your remodeling budget further. You get the look of a high-end spa without the high-end price tag attached.
The result is a durable, beautiful surface that makes your daily hygiene routine much better. You deserve a home that feels put together and clean, especially in your private rooms.

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 Library District, 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.
