A dull or chipped tub in Louisville 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.
You look at that stained, dated tub every single morning and wonder if you need to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project. Fortunately, a smart alternative exists that transforms your worn-out bathing basin without tearing up your walls or your wallet. Our local team comes right to your home to restore that brilliant luster and smooth feel to your existing setup in just a few hours.
By choosing this specialized process, you avoid the massive headache of hiring plumbers, tilers, and drywall contractors. Instead, you get a gorgeous, shiny surface that looks brand new for a fraction of the replacement cost. To make things even better, we offer a completely free estimate so you can plan your home improvement budget with total confidence.
If you want to save your hard-earned cash while still achieving a premium look, you are in the right place. Let us dive into how this clever resurfacing method works and why it makes so much sense for your property.
Many homeowners confuse this advanced procedure with cheap DIY paint kits that peel off after a few hot showers. Actually, our professional method involves a highly technical sequence of deep cleaning, etching, repairing chips, and spraying a specialized topcoat. This durable chemical bond fuses directly with the original porcelain, cast iron, or fiberglass material.
This means your finished fixture resists peeling, yellowing, and chipping for many years to come. Because we use commercial-grade bonding agents, the new finish behaves just like the original factory glaze. You get to enjoy a sparkling clean basin that feels incredibly smooth against your skin.
| Feature of the Service | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| Advanced Chemical Bonding | Prevents peeling and ensures a long-lasting, durable finish. |
| Eco-Friendly Acrylic Polyurethane | Provides a high-gloss shine that is very easy to wipe clean. |
| Speedy 24-Hour Cure Time | You can use your shower again almost immediately without long delays. |
On top of that, the entire process takes less than a day from start to finish. Which means you do not have to live in a dusty construction zone for weeks on end. You simply open your door to our friendly technicians and enjoy a refreshed bathroom by the very next afternoon.
Think about the sheer chaos of ripping out an old cast iron basin from your bathroom floor. This destructive process usually ruins your floor tiles, breaks the surrounding drywall, and demands expensive plumbing modifications. When you choose to coat the existing structure instead, you bypass all of those expensive nightmares entirely.
Additionally, older fixtures often feature much better craftsmanship and thicker metal than the cheap plastic units sold in big-box stores today. Retaining your original heavy-duty basin preserves the character of your home while upgrading its daily usability. You keep the solid, high-quality structure but enjoy a clean, modern color scheme.
Naturally, saving money is the biggest perk of choosing this smart refinishing route. You can redirect those saved thousands toward other fun home projects or a nice family vacation. Our clients love seeing their old, scratched surfaces turn into sleek, bright masterpieces without breaking the bank.
Now, let us be completely honest about what to expect during the application process. Because we use industrial-strength primers and coatings, there will be a noticeable paint-like odor while we apply the product. However, we bring powerful exhaust fans to vent these fumes safely out of your windows during the project.
This smell dissipates quickly once the curing process finishes, leaving behind only a clean, fresh-looking space. To keep your new surface looking pristine, you must avoid abrasive scrubbing powders and bleach. Simply wiping the area with mild dish soap keeps that glossy finish shining bright for a decade.
Sometimes, we encounter basins that have been poorly painted by previous owners or cheap landlords. In these cases, we must first strip off the old, peeling layers before we can apply our premium coating. While this extra step adds a bit of time, it ensures the new bond is absolutely flawless.
We proudly serve the wonderful residents of a historic, charming city nestled in Boulder County, Colorado. With a local population of around 20,705 people, this vibrant community deserves top-tier home services that match its high standards. Our neighbors enjoy a fantastic quality of life here, supported by a strong median household income of $100,188.
Whether you live near the historic downtown area or in the newer developments within the 80027 ZIP code, we travel directly to your doorstep. We understand the unique architectural styles found in this region, from vintage bungalows to expansive modern family homes. Our team treats your property with the utmost respect, keeping our work area immaculate from start to finish.
Living in this beautiful part of the state means appreciating smart, sustainable choices that reduce landfill waste. By restoring your current fixture instead of throwing it away, you keep heavy debris out of our local dumps. It is a wonderful way to upgrade your home while staying environmentally conscious.
First, our technician thoroughly cleans the entire area with specialized cleaners to remove soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. This preparation step is absolutely critical because even a tiny speck of grease can ruin the adhesion of the new coating. We take our time to ensure every single nook and cranny is perfectly prepped.
Next, we carefully mask off your bathroom walls, vanity, and floor to protect them from any overspray. We also seal up your drains and faucets so no chemicals slip into your plumbing system. Your home is fully protected, showing our commitment to neat, professional craftsmanship.
After that, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical bridge between the old surface and the new topcoat. Then, we use professional spray equipment to apply several layers of our high-tech acrylic polyurethane finish. This meticulous technique creates a deep, liquid-like shine that looks identical to brand new porcelain.
Preparing for our arrival is incredibly simple and requires very little effort on your part. We ask that you remove all shampoo bottles, soaps, curtains, and personal items from the shower area. This ensures our technicians have clear access to work quickly and safely.
It is also a great idea to fix any leaky faucets a few days before we arrive at your home. Water dripping onto a freshly sprayed surface can ruin the curing process and cause permanent blemishes. Taking care of those minor plumbing leaks ahead of time guarantees a flawless, glossy result.
Lastly, please make sure your pets are kept in a separate room while we spray the new finish. We want to keep your furry friends safe from the strong odors and prevent any stray hairs from drifting onto the wet coating. Once we packed up our gear, you can let them roam free again.
Why spend another week scrubbing a stained, dingy surface that simply refuses to get clean? You can easily breathe new life into your bathroom and boost your home value with our affordable, high-quality restoration service. We make the entire process stress-free, convenient, and incredibly rewarding.
Our friendly local team is ready to visit your home, inspect your current fixtures, and give you an honest, pressure-free assessment.

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 Louisville, 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.

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.
