A dull or chipped tub in Palmer 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 can easily save your old stained tub today. This quick process restores your bathroom shine in just a few hours. We come right to your home in Marquette County to make your daily bath look fresh again.
Actually most people think they need to tear out a chipped tub to get a clean look. That old school demolition method costs a fortune and creates a mountain of dusty plaster trash. Instead of breaking walls we apply a high tech liquid acrylic coating directly over your existing cast iron or fiberglass setup.
This clever technique covers up those ugly rust spots and ancient colorful designs from decades ago. First we deep clean the surface with special acid prep solutions to strip away years of soap scum. Then we spray on a industrial bonding agent that acts like superglue for the new glossy finish. After that we apply several coats of top premium acrylic resin that cures into a rock hard shiny shield.
Which means you get a gorgeous brilliant white surface that looks identical to a brand new fixture. You bypass the plumbing headache entirely. On top of that the whole job wraps up in less than one single day.
Living in a cozy place with about 486 residents means you appreciate saving hard earned dollars.

Our affordable service fits your budget perfectly while delivering a high quality upgrade that lasts for many years.
Imagine avoiding the mess of contractors dragging heavy dirty debris through your clean living room.

This smart alternative protects your wallet and keeps your home peaceful during the short process.
We regularly visit homes around the 49871 area code to help neighbors upgrade their properties. Your local home deserves a touch of modern beauty without the crazy price tag of a retail store replacement. Here is a quick look at how the options stack up for your home:
| Comparison Factor | Our Special Surface Spraying | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable and budget friendly | Extremely expensive with plumbing fees |
| Time to Complete | Usually finished in 4 to 6 hours | Can take up to two weeks of loud construction |
| Mess and Dust | Virtually none with our protective prep | Heavy drywall dust and broken tile debris |
| Durability | Lasts for many years with basic care | Long lasting but requires major structural work |
To start the job we mask off all your tiles and protect your vanity from any overspray. This careful preparation guarantees that the glossy material only lands on the target area. We then remove the old caulk lines because those silicone beads will prevent our new coatings from sticking. Next we repair any deep gouges or cracks using a heavy duty waterproof polyester filler compound.
Once the repairs dry smooth we use our advanced HVLP spray system to lay down the glossy topcoat. This professional equipment creates an incredibly even coat that you simply cannot get with a brush or roller. We build up multiple thin layers to ensure maximum strength against daily hot water drops. Finally we apply a slip resistant texture to the bottom floor if you want some extra safety underfoot.
This careful attention to detail ensures your finished surface will not peel or bubble up next month. You get a durable shield that stands up to kids toys and bubbly bath soaps. Your daily shower routine will feel luxurious again without any of the old dingy vibes.
Now that your wash setup looks incredible you want to keep it that way. You must avoid abrasive bleach powders or rough green scrubbing pads because they will dull the shiny glaze over time. Instead you should use mild dish soap or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners to wipe down the smooth surface. A quick wipe with a microfiber towel after your shower prevents hard water spots from building up.
This simple maintenance routine keeps the brilliant luster looking brand new without any hard scrubbing. You will save precious weekend time since grime cannot stick to the non porous acrylic layer. Which means you spend less time cleaning on Saturdays and more time relaxing with your family.
If you have leaky faucets you should fix them quickly because constant dripping can wear down any coating. Keeping your drain running smoothly also prevents standing soapy water from creating dull spots. These easy habits protect your small investment so it stays beautiful for up to a decade.

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 Palmer, 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.
