A dull or chipped tub in McKittrick 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.

Maybe you look at your chipped tub every morning and feel a small wave of defeat. Replacing a cast iron tub means ripping out tiles, hiring expensive plumbers, and dealing with piles of dusty drywall. Honestly, that whole process is a giant headache that will drain your bank account faster than a leaky faucet.
Instead of destroying your walls, our custom chemical bonding process coats your existing basin with a shiny, durable new layer. We clean the old porcelain down to its pores, apply an industrial-strength primer, and spray a thick high-tech acrylic topcoat. This clever method saves you thousands of dollars while delivering a brilliant glossy finish that looks brand new.
On top of that, you can choose from various modern colors to match your updated decor perfectly. Since we perform the entire process on-site, you do not have to worry about permit delays or weeks of construction noise. It is the ultimate shortcut to a gorgeous washroom that you will actually want to show off to guests.
Let us talk about the incredible savings because everyone loves keeping cash in their pockets. A complete bathroom tear-out often spirals out of control when contractors find hidden mold or rotted subfloors behind the walls. By sealing your existing structure, you completely bypass those scary hidden surprises and keep your budget totally safe.
Which means you get to spend your hard-earned money on nice towels or better lighting fixtures instead. Our special liquid glaze fills in microscopic chips and scratches where nasty bacteria and black mold love to hide. This creates a completely non-porous barrier that is incredibly easy to wipe clean with mild soap and water.
To give you a better idea of how this compares to traditional replacement, we put together a simple comparison table below.
| Project Factors | Complete Tub Replacement | Our Protective Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Duration | 3 to 7 days of noisy chaos | Finished in under 5 to 8 hours |
| Demolition Required | Yes, heavy wall and tile damage | None, everything stays in place |
| Total Project Cost | Very high with plumbing bills | Extremely budget-friendly |
| Surface Lifespan | Decades with proper care | 10 to 15 years with simple maintenance |
As you can see, choosing to restore rather than replace makes total sense for your peace of mind. You get the same sparkling result without the emotional roller coaster of a major home renovation project.
Older homes in our beautiful region often feature gorgeous, heavy cast iron clawfoot tubs that possess incredible character. Throwing those classic treasures into a landfill is a tragic waste of historic craftsmanship. Our specialized restoration techniques preserve that vintage charm while erasing decades of stains, rust, and ugly mineral buildup.
If you own rental units, you know how quickly tenants can wear down a bathroom. A quick cosmetic upgrade allows you to list the property faster and ask for higher monthly rent. Since the turnaround time is so incredibly fast, you lose zero days of rental income during the process.
Now, you might wonder if your specific fixture is too far gone for this type of treatment. Even if your basin has deep rust spots around the drain or severe hard water etching, we can usually fix it. We patch up the holes, sand down the rough spots, and apply our magic coating for a flawless finish.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheets to keep overspray off your walls and vanity. We then apply a specialized acid etch formula that eats away the old gloss to create a rough microscopic texture. This critical step ensures that our new coatings stick to the old surface with an unbreakable grip...
Next, we use advanced ventilation systems to pull any chemical fumes out of your home while we spray. We apply multiple layers of premium primer followed by several coats of our durable acrylic urethane topcoat. This engineered material cures into a rock-hard shell that resists impact, hot water, and household cleaning chemicals.
We take pride in helping homeowners throughout Montgomery County transform their spaces without the typical contractor stress. It is fascinating to think that in our tiny, historic corner of Missouri, with a cozy population of just 56 residents, we can bring world-class home improvement right to your doorstep. Whether your household income aligns with the local median of $41,042 or you are managing a tight fixer-upper budget, our affordable services fit your financial plans.
Because we live and work nearby, we understand the unique water chemistry challenges in the ZIP codes around this scenic river valley area. Hard mineral deposits can ruin a shiny finish over time, but our extra-durable glaze stands up to those tough local conditions. You get personalized, friendly service from neighbors who truly care about the quality of your home.
This lets you enjoy a stress-free experience from the very first phone call to the final walkthrough of your shiny bathroom. We treat your property with absolute respect, clean up every speck of dust, and leave your home smelling fresh. You do not have to settle for a dingy shower anymore when help is just around the corner.
To protect your new glossy barrier, you must avoid harsh abrasive cleansers like bleach or gritty scrubbing powders. Those rough chemicals will slowly wear down the beautiful shine and leave the surface looking dull over time. Instead, use gentle liquid dish soaps or mild bathroom sprays that keep things clean without scratching the acrylic.
Another smart trick is to avoid leaving wet washcloths or heavy shampoo bottles sitting directly on the ledge. Standing water can trap minerals against the surface and eventually weaken the strong chemical bond. If you take these simple precautions, your gorgeous new washroom will stay bright and inviting for many years to come.
Which means you get maximum value out of your investment with almost zero extra effort on your part. It is truly that simple to keep your bathroom looking like a luxury hotel suite day after day.

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 McKittrick, 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.
