A dull or chipped tub in Overland 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.

Choosing this smart path means you avoid the dusty nightmare of ripping out walls and plumbing. Indeed, our local team brings all the professional gear directly to your property to get the job done right. Let us look at why this option makes so much sense for your budget and your sanity.
First, let us talk about how this process actually works because many folks get confused about it. We do not just paint over your old grime with a cheap brush from the hardware store. Instead, we use a highly specialized chemical bonding process to fuse a new, durable topcoat to your worn-out fixture.
First of all, we meticulously clean the old porcelain or fiberglass to remove decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures the new materials stick perfectly without peeling later. After that, we repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots that have been bothering you for years.
Once the prep work is complete, we apply a high-tech primer followed by several layers of a premium acrylic coating. This system creates a non-porous finish that resists stains and looks incredibly bright. Consequently, your bathroom gets an instant facelift without the massive price tag of a traditional remodel.
Actually, let us look at the real numbers to see why this option is so popular around town. The average household income here sits around $44,860, which means most of us would rather spend our money on family trips or savings than on overpriced plumbers. Our convenient on-site service gives you the look of luxury without draining your bank account.
To help you compare your options, here is a quick breakdown of how our process matches up against a traditional replacement:
| Factor | Our Restoration Service | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Highly affordable, usually a fraction of replacement | Very expensive, often involves plumbing and tile work |
| Time to Complete | Ready to use in about 24 to 48 hours | Can take a week or more of messy construction |
| Mess & Dust | Minimal, we mask off the entire room | Extreme, lots of drywall dust and heavy debris |
As you can see, the benefits of choosing a restorative coating are absolutely massive for busy families. On top of saving money, you also save precious time because your bathroom is not out of commission for weeks. Which means you can get back to your normal daily routine almost immediately.
Initially, we protect your floors and vanity with heavy-duty drop cloths to keep everything safe. This prevents any accidental drips or dust from settling on your personal belongings. Then, we set up a powerful ventilation fan to draw all the fumes and odors safely outside your house.
Subsequently, our technician carefully masks off your tiles and fixtures with precision tape. This guarantees razor-sharp lines and ensures the coating only goes exactly where it is supposed to. After the prep, we spray the new surface with a professional-grade system for a flawless, factory-like shine.
Finally, we clean up our workspace thoroughly and leave your bathroom looking sparkling clean. You just need to let the surface cure for a day or two before you jump in for a relaxing soak. Truly, it is the easiest home improvement project you will ever experience.
Naturally, you want your beautiful new surface to last for many years to come. This is actually very simple to achieve as long as you avoid harsh abrasive cleaners like steel wool or gritty powders. Instead, we recommend using mild, non-abrasive liquid soaps and a soft sponge to keep it clean.
As a rule of thumb, if a cleaner is safe for a baby, it is safe for your restored tub. This gentle approach protects the glossy topcoat from getting micro-scratches that dull the shine over time. By following these easy care steps, your surface will remain bright and beautiful for a decade or more.
Furthermore, keeping your bath mat out of the tub when you are not using it prevents water from getting trapped underneath. This simple habit protects the bond of the coating and keeps the bottom of your basin in perfect shape. It is all about protecting your investment with just a tiny bit of daily care.

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 Overland, 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.
