A dull or chipped tub in Mitchellville 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.
Do you look at your old stained tub and feel completely defeated? Luckily, you can bring that tired wash basin back to life without spending a fortune.
Have you noticed nasty cracks or dull patches ruining your bathroom vibe? This service involves spraying a tough chemical coat over your existing porcelain unit. Consequently, you save thousands of dollars compared to a messy bathroom tearout.
Most homeowners in Polk County hate dealing with demolition dust everywhere. Therefore, choosing this neat technique lets you dodge weeks of noisy construction hassle. Your bathroom stays functional much faster because the chemical bonding happens right on site.
Think about living in zip code 50169 where the median household income sits around sixty-four thousand dollars. Naturally, you want your hard-earned money to stretch as far as humanly possible. By restoring your current bathing enclosure, you keep extra cash safely inside your wallet.
Before any spraying begins, professionals scrub the porcelain until it squeaks with cleanliness. They etch the old surface so the liquid coating grabs on tight. Afterward, they tape off your surrounding tiles to prevent any accidental overspray messes.
Did you know that skipping this prep step causes peeling paint down the road? Experienced workers never rush this vital phase because proper adhesion depends on it. Therefore, your newly glossed basin stays smooth and shiny for many years ahead.
Now comes the fun part where specialized sprayers lay down smooth coats of resin. This high-grade acrylic urethane gives you a stunning finish resembling brand-new factory porcelain. Because the material cures rapidly, you can admire the rich gloss almost immediately.
Can you imagine stepping into a gleaming white bathing vessel every single morning? This visual upgrade provides wonderful coziness and luxury for your daily routine. On top of that, the non-porous shield stops stubborn mold from digging into tiny crevices.
Are you weighing the pros and cons of ripping out your heavy cast iron tub? Tearing things apart generates massive amounts of heavy landfill waste and destroys your flooring. Conversely, surface refurbishment leaves your underlying structure entirely undisturbed and intact.
Furthermore, standard plumbing remodels often drag on for several miserable weeks. You might lose access to your primary washing space when contractors mess up your pipes. Meanwhile, our local crew finishes the entire transformation in just a few short hours.
Consider the typical expenses involved in hiring plumbers and buying new fixtures. You easily spend triple the amount on a traditional remodel versus modern resurfacing methods. Hence, keeping your original plumbing layout makes incredible financial sense for your household budget.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| Full Bathroom Tearout | Four Thousand Dollars | Two to Three Weeks |
| Porcelain Refurbishment | Five Hundred Dollars | One Single Day |
Does this price difference make you want to rethink your upcoming remodeling plans? Looking at the numbers proves that chemical coating wins the cost efficiency game easily. You get the exact same visual impact without emptying your bank savings account.
Once your project finishes, you must use the right cleaning products to protect the finish. Never grab harsh abrasive scouring powders because they scratch the glossy protective layer. Instead, wipe down the walls with mild dish soap and a soft damp sponge.
Will regular bleach destroy the shiny new surface over extended periods of time? Absolutely, so stick with gentle non-bleach sprays to keep your investment looking pristine. This simple maintenance habit guarantees your bathing area remains gorgeous for a decade or more.
Have you heard about suction-cup bath mats ruining freshly painted tub floors? These rubber mats trap moisture underneath and pull up the chemical bonding if left down constantly. Therefore, always hang your mat up to dry immediately after finishing your shower.
Serving our community of twenty-three hundred residents gives us immense pride every single day. We treat your home with total respect and clean up completely before leaving your property. Because we live nearby, answering your service calls happens quickly and without any delays.

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 Mitchellville, 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.
