A dull or chipped tub in Paine Field-Lake Stickney 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.

Surprisingly many people think they need to throw away their old cast iron or acrylic fixtures when things get dull. Instead of doing that heavy lifting you can opt for a smart surface renewal that saves time and money. Consequently your bathroom looks modern again within just a few hours of work.
First we must look at what this process actually involves for your home. Basically we apply a high-performance coating over your existing basin to cover up every single blemish. Which means you avoid the dusty nightmare of sledgehammers breaking your precious bathroom walls.
To begin we clean the area with industrial strength solutions to strip away decades of soap scum and mineral deposits. After doing that crucial step we patch up any deep chips or cracks with a durable marine filler. This lets you enjoy a perfectly smooth foundation before we even think about spraying the topcoat.
Next we apply a special bonding agent that locks the new finish directly onto the old porcelain or fiberglass. Once that chemical bond forms we spray several layers of a high-tech acrylic urethane gloss. As a result your fixture gets a deep luster that rivals the day it left the factory.
Imagine living in a cozy community of about 7,777 residents where neighbors take real pride in their properties. If you reside in the lovely Paine Field-Lake Stickney area of Washington you know how fast damp weather can wear down home interiors. Because of this high humidity keeping your wash basin sealed and protected is extremely important for preventing mold growth.

Since the median household income here is quite strong residents appreciate high-quality home improvements that protect their investments. By choosing our specialized coating service you preserve your existing layout while elevating the overall vibe of your space. On top of that you save thousands of dollars compared to a full contractor demolition.
Naturally the financial savings represent the biggest victory for your household budget. When you replace a heavy tub you also have to pay for expensive plumbers, new tiles, and waste disposal fees. Conversely our process focuses strictly on the surface which keeps your hard-earned money in your pocket.
Besides saving cash you also save an incredible amount of precious time. Typically a full bathroom remodel drags on for weeks and leaves you without a place to wash. Fortunately our on-site spraying process wraps up in less than a single day so you can use your shower quickly.
Additionally this process is highly eco-friendly because it keeps heavy cast iron and fiberglass out of our local landfills. By extending the lifespan of your current setup you make a green choice that benefits the beautiful Pacific Northwest environment. Truly it is a win-win situation for both your wallet and the planet.
Perhaps you are tired of that outdated 1970s pink or avocado green staring back at you every morning. Luckily we can tint our durable coatings to match almost any modern color scheme you desire. This lets you transition to a clean bright white or a soft modern gray effortlessly.
Indeed a simple color swap completely changes how light bounces around your washroom. Which means even a small dark space suddenly feels much larger and significantly brighter. You will find yourself actually wanting to show off your bathroom to overnight guests.
Once our premium glaze cures completely it forms a non-porous barrier that resists stubborn dirt and grime. This means you can say goodbye to harsh scrubbing with abrasive chemical powders that ruin your back. Instead a gentle wipe with a mild liquid soap keeps the surface gleaming like new.
Of course you must treat the new finish with a little bit of respect to ensure it lasts for years. Avoiding suction cup bathmats and bleach-based cleaners will protect the glossy topcoat from losing its shine. With just basic care your restored basin will look spectacular for a very long time.
First our friendly technician arrives at your home with all the necessary protective gear and ventilation equipment. To prevent any overspray we carefully mask off your floors, walls, vanity, and plumbing fixtures with paper and tape. This ensures that the specialized coating only goes exactly where it is supposed to go.
Subsequently we set up a powerful exhaust fan in the window to draw any paint odors directly outside. While the smell of the bonding agents can be quite strong during application it dissipates rapidly once we finish. Therefore you do not have to worry about lingering chemical fumes taking over your living space.
Finally we remove all the masking tape, clean up our workspace, and leave your bathroom looking spotless. Before we depart we explain the simple curing guidelines so you know exactly when it is safe to turn on the water. Then you are free to enjoy your gorgeous upgraded space without any leftover mess to clean.
Why continue staring at a dingy stained basin when a gorgeous affordable solution is just a phone call away? Our local team possesses the exact tools and experience needed to deliver a flawless factory-like finish right in your home. We take immense pride in helping our neighbors love their bathrooms again.
If you are ready to take the next step we invite you to request a completely free estimate. We will evaluate your fixture, answer your questions, and provide a clear upfront price with absolutely no hidden fees.

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 Paine Field-Lake Stickney, 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.
