A dull or chipped tub in Nelson 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 bathroom fixture and feel a bit sad? Well, a fresh chemical bonding spray can totally transform that tired basin without any demolition mess. This lets you save thousands of dollars compared to a complete bathroom tearout.
Most folks living right here in Clark County know how hard local minerals hit porcelain fixtures. Therefore, getting a professional surface revival makes your daily routine much brighter and easier to clean.
Are you ready to make your washroom shine again? Read on to learn how this cool trick works for your home.
Living out in a tiny desert outpost with a population of only forty two people means you appreciate reliable local help. Consequently, my crew brings all the right tools directly to your driveway without any hidden travel fees. This guarantees you get prompt attention whenever your washroom needs a serious facelift.
Operating inside the eighty five zero four nine area requires knowing local water quirks quite well. Because of this, we use specialized acid washes that strip away tough scaling in no time. This lets the new acrylic coating stick tightly for many years of heavy daily use.
Furthermore, managing a household budget around a median household income of thirty two thousand five hundred dollars demands smart spending choices. Instead of buying a brand new tub, you keep most of your hard-earned cash safely in your wallet. Thus, you get high-end results while staying well within your financial comfort zone.
First off, we arrive bright and early to inspect every single crack and chip on your old porcelain. After that, we tape off the surrounding tile walls to protect your entire bathroom from stray overspray. This ensures your floors and fixtures stay totally safe while we work our magic.
Next, we apply a powerful cleaning formula to scrub away decades of stubborn soap scum. Then, we rinse the basin thoroughly and dry every square inch with high-powered fans. This crucial prep work lets the bonding agent grab onto the old surface without any peeling later.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of tough aliphatic urethane coating using a professional HVLP machine. This creates a glossy finish that brings pure luxury to your morning routine. Plus, it dries relatively fast so you can use your shower again very soon.
| Project Step | What We Do | Your Direct Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Prep Work | Scrub and tape | Zero mess in your home |
| Bonding | Apply primer | Prevents future peeling |
| Top Coat | Spray glossy layers | Stunning shine and easy cleaning |
Eventually, you will notice how simple it becomes to wipe away water spots after every shower. Because the new layer is completely nonporous, mold and mildew simply have nowhere to hide. This keeps your family healthier and saves you hours of exhausting weekend scrubbing.
Tearing out a heavy cast iron tub involves smashing walls and hiring expensive plumbers for days on end. However, our surface renewal technique keeps your existing plumbing completely untouched from start to finish. This saves you from living in a messy construction zone for weeks.
Meanwhile, buying a replacement unit often leads to unexpected structural repairs behind the drywall. But when you pick our coating option, everything stays right where it belongs. This lets you skip the headache of dealing with permits and dumpster rentals.
Additionally, landfills get filled with perfectly good iron and porcelain every single day all across the state. By choosing to restore your old fixture, you make a smart green choice for our planet. Thus, you save money and help reduce local waste simultaneously.
Some homeowners worry that sprayed-on coatings will chip off after just a few months of normal use. Yet modern polymer technology creates a bond that is stronger than standard factory enamel. This means you can drop shampoo bottles without fearing catastrophic damage.
Others think the chemical fumes will linger in their house for days and make everyone sick. But we set up industrial ventilation fans that push all odors right out your window. Therefore, your indoor air stays fresh and breathable throughout the entire job.
People also assume that painted tubs look fake and feel rough to the touch. On the contrary, a properly cured urethane coat feels as smooth as glass under your bare feet. This gives you that wonderful spa-like sensation right in your own home.
Cleaning your newly revived fixture requires very little effort if you use the right gentle products. Avoid harsh abrasive powders because they can dull the glossy shine over a long period of time. Instead, grab a soft sponge and some mild dish soap for your weekly wipe down.
Drying the surface after your final shower of the day prevents mineral buildup from forming on the bottom. Although our coatings resist stains remarkably well, basic maintenance extends the lifespan by several extra years. This simple habit keeps your investment looking brand new for a very long time.
Check your faucets regularly to make sure annoying drips do not ruin the fresh finish over time. Catching minor leaks early prevents permanent water rings from forming on your newly coated drain area. Thus, proactive care pays off with lasting beauty.
Waiting too long to fix those ugly cracks can cause water damage to seep into your subfloor. Fortunately, getting a professional evaluation costs you absolutely nothing and takes just a few moments of your time. This gives you all the facts you need to make the best decision for your property.
Simply reach out right now to schedule your totally free quote with our friendly local team. We will inspect your bathroom and give you an honest price with zero pressure attached. Let us help you turn that tired old basin into the best feature of your home.
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 Nelson, 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.
