This specialized chemical refinishing process breathes brand-new life into tired, stained, or outdated porcelain and fiberglass surfaces in just a single day.

Our local team comes straight to your home in Wabaunsee County to spray a durable, high-gloss topcoat that looks exactly like a brand-new fixture.

Many homeowners assume that a dull, stained basin is a lost cause that requires total replacement. However, the secret lies in a meticulous multi-step restoration process that bonds a tough new liquid acrylic layer directly onto your existing fixture. First, we clean the area with industrial-strength agents to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits.
After the surface is totally clean, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots using high-grade polyester fillers. This step ensures the foundation is perfectly smooth before we apply a specialized bonding agent. This chemical primer acts like a microscopic glue, ensuring the new finish fuses permanently to the old material without any risk of peeling.
Finally, we use professional spray equipment to apply several layers of a high-tech acrylic urethane coating. This material cures into a rock-hard, glossy shell that resists water, impact, and daily wear. When we finish, your old fixture looks incredibly clean and boasts a beautiful luster that rivals any brand-new unit on the showroom floor.
Choosing to renew your existing fixture offers several massive advantages that go way beyond simple cost savings. For starters, you avoid the absolute nightmare of a major bathroom renovation, which often leaves you without a working washroom for weeks. Our process takes less than a day, meaning you can use your beautiful renewed space almost immediately.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple breakdown of how these two approaches stack up against each other:
| Factor | Full Replacement | Professional Refinishing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High (Thousands of dollars) | Very Low (Highly budget-friendly) |
| Project Duration | Several days or weeks of mess | Completed in just a few hours |
| Plumbing Changes | Usually required and expensive | No plumbing changes needed |
| Durability | Excellent, but high initial cost | Excellent with proper basic care |
On top of saving money, you also preserve the character of vintage homes that feature heavy cast-iron fixtures. These older pieces possess a unique charm and solid build quality that modern plastic replacements simply cannot match. By restoring the finish, you enjoy the best of both worlds: historic durability and a sparkling clean appearance.
Our small-town values mean we treat your home with the utmost respect and never cut corners on preparation. We proudly serve the lovely community of Paxico, Kansas, where neighbors appreciate honest craftsmanship and reliable, friendly service. With a local population of around 262 residents, we treat every single client like a member of our own family.
We understand that the local median household income of $43,750 means you want to stretch your hard-earned dollars as far as possible. Spending thousands on a contractor to rip out walls is simply not a smart financial move for most families in the 66526 ZIP code area. Our affordable restoration option gives you a luxury look without putting a major dent in your savings account.
Because we live and work nearby, we can easily drive out to your property to assess your project in person. We evaluate the current state of your porcelain, fiberglass, or acrylic surfaces to give you an accurate assessment. This personalized touch ensures you receive the exact service you need without any hidden fees or surprise upcharges.
Once your fixture looks brand new, you want to keep it that way for many years to come. Fortunately, caring for a newly coated surface is actually much easier than struggling to scrub an old, porous one. The non-porous nature of our high-gloss topcoat prevents dirt and grime from embedding itself deep into the material.
To protect your investment, you must avoid harsh abrasive cleaners like Comet, Ajax, or scratchy green scrubbing pads. These gritty products will dull the beautiful shine over time and create tiny scratches that trap dirt. Instead, simply wipe the surface down with a soft sponge and mild dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting directly on the surface for long periods. Standing water trapped under bottles can eventually weaken the bond of any coating over time. A quick wipe with a towel after use will keep your wash basin looking incredibly glossy and pristine 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 Paxico, 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.
