All over Mineral County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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 your old tub looks like a relic from a forgotten decade because the color is a strange shade of dusty avocado. Fortunately, you can completely transform that worn-out fixture today without ripping out your walls or spending a fortune on a massive remodel. Our local crew travels right to your home in the beautiful high-country region of southwestern Colorado to make your bathroom look brand new again.
Actually, we help you save thousands of dollars by applying a fresh, high-gloss protective barrier directly over your existing basin. This highly specialized process bonds a durable new layer to your cast iron, steel, or fiberglass surface. Consequently, you get a gleaming, pristine finish that looks exactly like a brand-new installation but without the headache of dusty construction.
Additionally, we understand how frustrating it is to deal with ugly stains and scratchy surfaces every time you try to relax. By choosing this smart upgrade, you can finally enjoy a sparkling clean wash area that feels smooth to the touch. Let us handle the hard work while you sit back and think about how much money you just saved.
First, we carefully prepare the entire work area to ensure your home stays perfectly clean throughout the quick project. Because we focus on extreme detail, our technicians mask off your floors, walls, and fixtures to prevent any overspray. This means you do not have to worry about a single drop of material getting where it should not go.
Next, we use a specialized acid paste to etch the old porcelain or ceramic tile glaze so the new finish can stick forever. For fiberglass units, we use a different chemical bonding agent to create a super strong mechanical connection. This step is absolutely critical because it prevents peeling and bubbling down the road.
After that, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks with a heavy-duty waterproof filler. Once we sand everything completely flat, we apply our proprietary bonding agent called Silane. This high-tech primer acts like a microscopic double-sided tape that locks the new topcoat to your old fixture.
Finally, we spray several coats of a top-tier acrylic urethane resin using professional high-volume low-pressure equipment. This meticulous spraying technique creates a brilliant, glass-like shine that completely blocks out moisture and mold. Ultimately, your old tub gets a second life that easily lasts for up to fifteen years with proper care.
When you start looking at the real cost of a full bathroom demolition, the numbers can get scary fast. Besides the cost of the new basin, you have to pay for expensive plumbers, drywall repair, and trash disposal. By opting for our on-site resurfacing service instead, you bypass all those stressful headaches entirely.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple breakdown of how these two methods stack up:
| Project Factor | Full Replacement Method | Our Surface Renewal Service |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | Three to seven days of messy work | Finished in just four to six hours |
| Debris and Mess | Tons of drywall dust and broken tile | Virtually zero mess left behind |
| Plumbing Changes Needed | Often requires moving old pipes | No plumbing adjustments required |
| Total Financial Investment | Very high cost for labor and parts | Extremely budget-friendly and affordable |
Moreover, our process is incredibly fast, allowing you to use your updated shower again in just twenty-four hours. If you only have one bathroom in your house, this speedy turnaround time is an absolute lifesaver. You will not have to bunk with neighbors or rent a hotel room while waiting for concrete to dry.
On top of that, restoring your existing fixture is a much greener option for our beautiful mountain environment. Instead of sending a massive hunk of non-biodegradable cast iron or fiberglass to the local landfill, you keep it right where it is. This simple choice helps reduce waste while still giving you the gorgeous home upgrade you deserve.
Living in a quiet, high-altitude county with a very small population means you need contractors you can actually rely on. Since our remote region features beautiful peaks and historic mining towns, finding quality local service can sometimes be a challenge. We proudly serve every corner of this scenic area, bringing professional-grade tools right to your front door.
Whether you live in a cozy mountain cabin or a modern home near the river, we treat your property with total respect. Because our local community is so tight-knit, our reputation for honesty and top-notch craftsmanship means everything to us. We never cut corners, and we always use the highest grade materials available on the market.
Indeed, our experienced technicians know exactly how to handle the unique temperature and humidity changes of our mountain climate. This local expertise ensures your new finish cures perfectly, even during our chilly winter months. You can rest easy knowing your home improvement project is in the hands of people who know the area inside and out.
Naturally, we believe in being completely transparent with you about what our service can and cannot do. On the positive side, our work completely erases ugly stains, seals up leaky hairline cracks, and restores a brilliant luster. It also makes your daily cleaning routine much easier because dirt cannot stick to the non-porous surface.
However, you should know that this process is not a permanent cure-all for a structurally destroyed or completely rusted-out basin. If your metal tub has giant holes rusted all the way through the bottom, replacement might be your only safe option. Also, you must avoid using abrasive bleach cleansers or sharp scrub pads on your newly coated surface to prevent scratching.
Still, for ninety percent of old, faded, or chipped fixtures, our process is the absolute perfect solution. We can even change the color of your old tile walls to match your newly brightened basin for a cohesive look. This affordable transformation gives you the fresh aesthetic you want without the steep price tag.
If you are tired of looking at that dingy, hard-to-clean shower basin, now is the perfect time to take action. We make the entire process incredibly easy by offering completely free, no-obligation quotes to homeowners in our service area. Our friendly team will look at your project, explain your options, and give you a fair price on the spot.
To get started, simply reach out to us through our website or give us a quick call to schedule your visit. We will drive out to your property in Mineral County, Colorado, to assess your bathroom and answer any questions you have. Do not spend another day scrubbing a worn-out tub when a beautiful, shiny bathroom is just a quick phone call away!
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, 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.
