A dull or chipped tub in Middle Amana 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.
That ugly, stained bathroom fixture can really ruin your morning mood. You do not have to live with a gritty surface that scrapes your skin. Fortunately, a skilled local technician can visit your home to spray a fresh, glossy coating that makes the whole basin look brand new again without the high cost of a full remodel.
This budget-friendly process saves you thousands of dollars compared to tearing out walls. Because of that, you can get a beautiful bathroom in just one afternoon. Our friendly crew comes straight to your doorstep in Iowa County to give you a totally free estimate for your project.
Now, let us talk about how this smart home improvement works. You will love how easy the transformation is.
Think about how much work it takes to rip out a heavy cast iron or steel tub. You would have to pay a plumber, break your beautiful tiles, and haul heavy trash to the landfill. Instead of going through that nightmare, our professional refinishing process bonds a durable, high-tech liquid acrylic coating directly onto your worn-out surface.
This specialized method seals up nasty chips and deep scratches. Which means you get a super smooth surface that is incredibly easy to clean. You will no longer have to scrub for hours with harsh chemicals just to get rid of dark water stains.
On top of that, we use advanced bonding agents to ensure the new layer never peels or bubbles. That gives you peace of mind and long-lasting beauty. Let us look at how our local service compares to traditional replacement options.
| Feature | Our Professional Coating Service | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable, usually a fraction of replacement | Extremely expensive with plumbing and tile work |
| Time to Complete | Usually finished in about 4 to 6 hours | Can take weeks of messy construction work |
| Mess and Noise | Minimal dust, well-ventilated, very quiet | Loud hammering, drywall dust everywhere |
| Lifespan | Easily lasts 10 to 15 years with basic care | Long-lasting but requires constant maintenance |
Our gorgeous community is famous for its rich history and beautiful historic homes. Many houses around the 52307 ZIP code area feature classic antique fixtures that are worth saving. If you live in this charming part of the state, preserving that vintage character is probably very important to you.
By choosing to recoat your existing porcelain rather than throwing it away, you keep the original heavy-duty craftsmanship alive. This lets you maintain the soul of your home while enjoying a clean, modern look. Plus, you will save your hard-earned money for other fun local activities.
Actually, with a median household income of $96,591 in our lovely neighborhood, local families appreciate smart investments that build real home equity. We love helping our neighbors make their properties shine. You deserve a bathroom that feels like a private oasis at the end of a long day.
First, we must clean the old surface with special acid-free cleaners to remove decades of soap scum and body oils. After that, we repair any deep gouges or rusty spots with a waterproof polyester filler. This step is crucial because the new topcoat needs a perfectly flat foundation to stick to.
Next, we spray a proprietary molecular bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old porcelain and the new acrylic. Then, we apply multiple layers of premium aliphatic polyurethane coating using a professional spray gun. This high-end material provides incredible shine and holds up against hot water for years.
Finally, we let the new surface cure completely before we put the finishing touches on the surrounding caulk. This careful attention to detail ensures your daily showers will feel luxurious. You will definitely notice the difference the very first time you step in.
Maybe you are stuck with a dated pink, avocado green, or mustard yellow fixture from the seventies. Those wild colors can make even the cleanest bathroom look dirty and old-fashioned. Our skilled technicians can spray a bright, clean white coat over any old color to instantly modernize your space.
This simple change makes your entire bathroom feel much larger and brighter. It also allows you to decorate with any color towels or bathmats you want. You will finally feel proud to show your guest bathroom to visiting friends and family.
However, we also offer custom colors if you want something unique. We can match almost any style you have in mind. Let us help you design the washroom of your dreams.
When our friendly technician arrives at your home, they will first protect your floors and vanity with clean drop cloths. We also set up a heavy-duty exhaust system with a window fan to pull all the fumes and dust out of your house. This keeps your indoor air clean and safe during the application process.
Our team works quickly and quietly to respect your busy schedule. We usually finish the entire process in just one morning or afternoon. Which means you do not have to lose the use of your bathroom for days on end.
After we pack up our tools, we will explain how to care for your new surface so it stays shiny for decades. We treat your home with the same respect we would treat our own. Your satisfaction is always our top priority.
To keep that brilliant shine looking fresh, you should avoid abrasive cleaners like Ajax or Comet. Those harsh powders will scratch the smooth finish and make it look dull over time. Instead, simply use mild dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner and a soft sponge.
Also, make sure you do not leave wet bottles or soap bars sitting on the ledge for weeks. Keeping the surface dry when not in use helps prevent mineral buildup from our local hard water. These simple habits will protect your investment for a very long time.
Moreover, we always suggest fixing any leaky faucets right away. Constant dripping can wear down even the toughest coatings over several years. Taking care of small repairs now saves you big headaches down the road.
If you are ready to stop squinting at those ugly stains, we are here to help you solve this problem today. We proudly serve our small community of 752 residents with honest prices and top-tier craftsmanship. Our local experts will drive right to your home to look at your fixture and give you a detailed, written estimate at zero cost.
There is absolutely no obligation to buy when you request our free pricing guide. We believe in letting our high-quality work and friendly service speak for themselves. You can ask us any questions about the process, and we will give you honest, straightforward answers.
So, do not wait another day to upgrade your home. Contact us right now to book your free consultation and take the first step toward a beautiful, sparkling clean bathroom that you will love using every single 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 Middle Amana, 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
