A dull or chipped tub in Mount Angel 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.

You might wonder how we actually turn a scratched, faded basin into a gleaming masterpiece without removing it from your home. The secret lies in a meticulous multi-step chemical bonding process that fuses a tough, high-gloss topcoat directly onto the old porcelain or fiberglass. First, we thoroughly clean the surface with specialized solutions to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard mineral deposits.
After that prep work is done, we repair any deep scratches, gouges, or unsightly cracks with a durable marine-grade filler. Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old surface and the new liquid acrylic coating. Finally, we spray several uniform layers of a premium high-tech resin, which cures into a rock-hard, glossy finish that looks identical to brand-new porcelain.
| Restoration Step | Concrete Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Deep Chemical Cleaning | Removes hidden bacteria and grime for a sanitary start |
| Surface Repair & Patching | Erases dangerous cracks and sharp chips completely | Ensures the new finish will not peel or bubble over time |
| HVLP Spray Application | Creates a perfectly smooth, factory-like shiny finish |
This method works beautifully on cast iron, pressed steel, and modern acrylic tubs alike. Since we use advanced high-volume low-pressure spray systems, the final coat looks incredibly uniform and free of brush strokes. You get a gorgeous, revitalized focal point in your bathroom that feels incredibly smooth to the touch.
If you think buying a new tub is cheap, you might be forgetting about the hidden costs of demolition and installation. Ripping out an old cast iron basin often requires breaking it into heavy pieces with a sledgehammer, which can easily crack your beautiful floor tiles. On top of that, your new tub might not fit the existing plumbing lines, forcing you to pay an arm and a leg for emergency plumbing adjustments.
Our on-site restoration service bypasses all of those stressful complications by keeping your sturdy old tub right where it belongs. This is especially true for vintage clawfoot tubs or deep alcove basins that have much better character and heat retention than cheap modern replacements. We preserve the historic charm of your home while upgrading the surface to a state of pristine cleanliness.
This choice also keeps heavy, non-biodegradable bathroom fixtures out of our local Oregon landfills. By opting to renew what you already own, you make an environmentally friendly choice that keeps your hard-earned money in your wallet. It is a win-win scenario that gives you a stunning, sparkling bathroom while keeping your weekend completely stress-free.
We believe in treating your living space with the utmost respect, which is why our preparation process is incredibly thorough. Before we even unpack our professional spraying equipment, we carefully mask off your floors, walls, vanity, and fixtures with heavy-duty protective paper and plastic sheeting. This step ensures that absolutely no overspray or dust lands on your bathroom surfaces during the application.
To keep your indoor air clean and fresh, we set up a powerful exhaust fan system with flexible ducting routed out the nearest window. This ventilation system pulls any chemical fumes and overspray particles safely out of your home while we work. Our technicians work quickly and cleanly, usually wrapping up the entire transformation in about four to six hours.
Once we finish the final spray coat, we carefully pack up all our gear and leave your bathroom looking spotless. We instruct you on how long to let the new surface cure, which is typically just twenty-four hours before you can enjoy a relaxing bath. You will be amazed at how a single day of work can completely change the vibe of your entire washing space.
Now that your tub looks brand-new, you want to make sure that beautiful luster lasts for many years to come. The key to maintaining this brilliant shine is avoiding abrasive scrubbing powders, steel wool, or harsh bleach cleaners that can dull the finish. Instead, you should use mild, non-abrasive liquid soaps and soft microfiber cloths to wipe down the basin after use.
This simple cleaning routine keeps the non-porous acrylic surface slick and prevents soap scum from building up. We also recommend fixing any leaky faucets promptly, as constant dripping in one spot can eventually wear down even the toughest coatings. By following these easy guidelines, your restored fixture will remain bright and beautiful for up to a decade.
Another great tip is to avoid using suction-cup bath mats, which can pull at the newly bonded glaze over time. If you need extra traction, we can actually apply a permanent slip-resistant texture to the bottom of the tub during the restoration process. This option keeps you safe while preserving the integrity of the gorgeous new surface.

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 Mount Angel, 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.
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.
