A dull or chipped tub in Ojo Amarillo 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.
Your old tub looks pretty rough these days. Between the ugly stains and that weird faded color from decades ago, taking a bath probably does not feel very inviting right now.
Instead of ripping out the whole fixture and spending thousands on a messy remodel, you can choose a much smarter path. Our specialized restoration service brings back that bright, glassy shine without the high cost of replacement.
This budget-friendly process saves you time and saves your sanity. By choosing our local family-oriented crew, you get a beautiful surface that looks brand new in just a single day.
First of all, ripping out a heavy cast iron basin is a total nightmare. You often have to break the surrounding wall tiles, mess with old plumbing, and carry heavy debris through your clean hallways.
Actually, our specialized surface renewal method avoids all that chaos completely. We work directly on your existing fixture right where it sits, which means no walls get smashed and no pipes get broken.
On top of that, this approach keeps solid waste out of our local landfills. You get to enjoy a gorgeous, glossy wash basin while being kind to your wallet and the planet.
Before we even touch a bottle of bonding agent, we scrub the entire area to remove decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This deep cleaning step ensures our high-tech coatings stick perfectly to the old porcelain or fiberglass.
Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or scratches that make your washing station look run-down. We fill these little craters with specialized structural compounds so the final surface looks completely flat and smooth.
Finally, we apply a professional-grade primer followed by multiple layers of our extremely durable acrylic polyurethane finish. This creates a chemical bond that locks out moisture and keeps your basin looking bright for many years.
| Step of the Project | What We Do | Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Surface Prep | We strip away old oils, soap scum, and minerals. | The new finish sticks forever. |
| Chip and Crack Repair | We fill in every single scratch and rust spot. | Your tub feels smooth on your skin. |
| Premium Topcoat Application | We spray a specialized high-gloss acrylic finish. | It looks brand new and cleans easily. |
Naturally, you want to hire someone who actually cares about doing a great job in your home. Our small team lives and works right here in San Juan County, meaning we treat your property with absolute respect.
Since we know the local water conditions, we use materials designed to resist the mineral buildup common in our state. This local know-how ensures your new finish stays bright and does not yellow or peel prematurely.
Which means you can trust our honest, friendly crew to show up on time and leave your bathroom spotless. We handle all the prep and clean up so you do not have to lift a single finger.
Many folks in Ojo Amarillo, New Mexico, are looking for ways to stretch their hard-earned dollars. With a local median household income of about $26,094, spending a fortune on a bathroom remodel just does not make sense for most families.
Fortunately, our specialized resurfacing method costs only a small fraction of what a full bathroom contractor would charge. We help our neighbors in the 87401 area code get luxury results without the luxury price tag.
This allows you to upgrade your home value without draining your savings account. You can redirect those saved funds into other important household needs while still enjoying a clean, modern bathing space.
Once our crew packs up and leaves, maintaining your glossy new finish is incredibly simple. You only need to use mild, non-abrasive liquid soaps and a soft sponge to keep it sparkling.
Honestly, harsh chemical bleach and abrasive scrubbing powders will ruin the glossy finish over time. Avoiding these rough cleaners ensures your beautiful wash basin stays smooth and reflective for a decade or more.
Consequently, you will spend much less time scrubbing on your hands and knees. The slick, non-porous surface naturally resists dirt and grime, making your weekly chore list much shorter.
Perhaps you are wondering how much this convenient service will cost for your specific bathroom setup. We make finding out completely stress-free by offering totally free, no-obligation quotes to our neighbors.
Indeed, a friendly member of our team will visit your home to inspect your fixture and explain the process. We provide a clear, upfront price so you do not have to worry about hidden fees or surprise charges.
So why wait any longer to fix that stained, outdated basin? Contact us today to schedule your free consultation and take the first step toward a brighter, cleaner bathroom.
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 Ojo Amarillo, 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.
