A dull or chipped tub in Medina 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 worn-out bathroom centerpiece probably looks pretty rough after years of daily scrubbings and hot showers. Instead of spending thousands on a messy demolition, you can choose a smart, budget-friendly option that restores that glossy shine overnight. Our specialized crew comes right to your home in Hennepin County to handle the entire process from start to finish.
This clever resurfacing technique saves you a massive pile of money while keeping your heavy cast iron or steel fixture right where it belongs. When you choose to refinish the surface rather than rip it out, you avoid hiring expensive plumbers and drywall installers. We make the whole experience totally painless by providing a detailed, free estimate before we even touch your fixture.
Think about how nice it will feel to step into a sparkling, clean-looking basin that looks brand new. You get to skip the weeks of construction dust and chaotic noise that usually come with a traditional bathroom remodel. Let us show you how we bring dull, stained surfaces back to life with our high-tech coatings.
Many homeowners do not realize that the dull, rough texture on their older fixtures is just a layer of worn-down coating. Over time, harsh chemical cleaners and abrasive sponges scratch up the original porcelain or acrylic glaze. This damage creates tiny microscopic pores that trap dirt, soap scum, and ugly rust stains.
Our process solves this issue by applying a liquid acrylic polyurethane compound directly over your existing structure. First, we clean the area with specialized solutions to strip away every single trace of body oils and mineral deposits. After that, we apply a powerful bonding agent that chemically fuses the new glaze to the old substrate.
This method ensures the fresh topcoat will not peel or chip off when you take your daily baths. Which means you get a ultra-smooth finish that feels incredible and looks identical to a brand new factory installation. On top of that, the entire process takes less than a single day to complete.
Going the replacement route sounds simple until you start looking at the actual bills from contractors. You have to pay someone to break your old heavy fixture into pieces just to get it out the door. Then, you usually discover water damage behind the walls that requires expensive structural repairs.
Once you add up the costs of new tiles, plumbing adjustments, and disposal fees, your budget easily explodes. Choosing our local resurfacing service lets you bypass all those financial headaches completely. We help you keep your hard-earned cash in your wallet where it belongs.
To help you compare the paths, we put together a simple breakdown of what to expect:
| Project Aspect | Full Replacement Method | Our Resurfacing Service |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | Typically 3 to 7 days of messy work | Completed in about 4 to 8 hours |
| Demolition Required | Yes, walls and plumbing are disrupted | None, the original fixture stays put |
| Total Financial Investment | Very high, often thousands of dollars | Highly affordable for any budget |
| Mess and Dust Level | Massive amount of drywall and tile dust | Virtually none, we mask off the room |
As you can see, the choice is pretty obvious when you want to save time and sanity. Our local team takes great pride in delivering flawless results without turning your home into a noisy construction zone. We focus on giving you top-tier quality while keeping our footprint in your home as small as possible.
Living in a gorgeous community with a median household income of $144,107 means people appreciate high-quality work that lasts. Our neighbors in the local 55340 area expect professional results, and we strive to exceed those expectations on every single job. We understand the specific home styles in this beautiful part of Minnesota, from classic builds to modern custom houses.
Our skilled technicians use premium materials that are specifically formulated to withstand the temperature swings of our local seasons. This attention to detail prevents the newly applied coating from cracking when the weather shifts from humid summers to freezing winters. You can trust that our finished product will stand up to the test of daily family use.
We believe in absolute honesty, so we will tell you upfront if your fixture is a good candidate for our process. If the structural integrity of your basin is compromised, we will explain your options instead of taking your money. This commitment to integrity is why your neighbors recommend us for bathroom upgrades.
Using the right cleaning products after we finish our work is the absolute key to making your investment last for years. You should always avoid abrasive powders and bleach, which can dull the shiny new surface over time. Simply wiping down the area with a mild liquid soap and a microfiber cloth keeps it looking spectacular.
We always take the time to teach you how to properly care for your newly glazed surface before we pack up. This little bit of education ensures you enjoy a bright, clean bathroom for up to a decade or even longer. Our team treats your home with the utmost respect, leaving the work area cleaner than we found it.
If you want to see how affordable this transformation can be, we are happy to help. We offer completely pressure-a free estimate to help you plan your home improvement project. Simply reach out to us, and we will send a friendly professional to evaluate your bathroom and provide a clear quote.
Achieving a mirror-like shine requires an incredible amount of patience, training, and attention to detail. We begin by masking off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to block any overspray. Next, we set up a powerful ventilation system to pull any fumes out of your home through the nearest window.
Our technicians then repair any chips, deep scratches, or rust spots using high-grade polyester fillers. Once the surface is perfectly flat, we apply several layers of our specialized primer using a professional spray gun. This step is followed by multiple coats of our premium topcoat to build a thick, durable barrier.
Finally, we carefully remove all the masking materials and inspect our work under bright lights to ensure perfection. This thorough process ensures you get a beautiful, glossy finish that makes your whole bathroom feel brighter. You will love how easy the new surface is to clean and maintain.
Choosing to renew your existing fixture is also a fantastic way to practice environmental responsibility. Throwing a heavy cast iron tub into a landfill is a shame when it still has decades of structural life left. By restoring the surface, you reduce waste and keep durable materials in active use.
This eco-friendly approach lets you remodel responsibly while still getting that fresh, modern look you want. We love helping our local community members upgrade their homes in a sustainable, smart way. Our team is ready to help you transform your space with minimal hassle and maximum satisfaction.
Let us help you fall in love with your bathroom all over again with our professional services. We are proud to serve families throughout

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 Medina, 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.
