All over Platte County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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.
Maybe you cringe every single time you step into your bathroom because that old basin looks totally stained and scratched up. Since replacing the whole setup costs a fortune and takes forever, you probably feel completely stuck with that ugly eyesore. Luckily, our team of local surface restoration pros can make your existing tub look brand new in just a few hours without any messy demolition.
If you want to skip the high costs of remodeling, getting a free estimate is your very best move right now. This fast upgrade seals up old cracks while saving you tons of cash. So let us take a look at how we can transform your bathroom today!
Actually, most people do not realize that their old cast iron or steel tubs are still incredibly solid underneath all those surface stains. Instead of ripping out a perfectly good fixture, our specialized process applies a shiny new coating right over the existing structure. This means you avoid the dusty nightmare of hiring contractors to tear down your drywall and mess up your plumbing.
Because we use advanced bonding agents, the new layer fuses directly to the old porcelain on a molecular level. Consequently, your worn-out washbasin gains a beautiful glossy finish that looks identical to a brand new installation. You get to enjoy a sparkling clean bathroom without the massive headache of a week-long construction project.
To help you understand your choices, we put together a quick comparison of your options:
| Restoration Method | Typical Cost | Time Required | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Our Specialized Coating | Very Affordable | 4 to 6 Hours | Virtually None |
| Full Replacement | Extremely Expensive | 3 to 5 Days | Very High |
| Plastic Tub Liners | Moderate to High | 1 to 2 Days | Moderate |
First, we meticulously clean the entire area with industrial strength cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures that the new chemical coatings will adhere perfectly without any peeling later on. After that, we carefully patch up any deep chips, rust spots, or scratches with a durable waterproof filler.
Next, our technicians apply a specialized etching agent to create microscopic pores in the old porcelain surface. Following this step, we spray on a high-tech primer that acts like superglue for the final topcoat. Finally, we apply several layers of our premium acrylic urethane using a professional spray system for an incredibly smooth finish.
Once we finish the spraying process, the new surface needs about twenty-four hours to cure completely. After this brief waiting period, you can jump right in and enjoy a relaxing soak in your gorgeous tub. It really is that simple to get a pristine bathroom without any major construction stress.
Even though those cheap box store kits look tempting, they rarely last more than a few months before they start peeling off in big sheets. Since those consumer products lack professional-grade bonding agents, moisture quickly gets trapped underneath the weak paint. This leads to nasty mold growth and an even bigger mess to clean up later.
On the other hand, our industrial materials require certified respirators and specialized ventilation equipment to apply safely. Because we use commercial-grade spray guns, we achieve a flawless factory-like shine that brush-on kits simply cannot match. Investing in a professional job saves you from doing the work twice.
To keep your beautiful new finish looking bright, you should always avoid abrasive bleach cleansers or rough scrubbing pads. Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth to wipe down the basin after use. This simple routine prevents soap scum buildup while protecting the shiny protective glaze for many years.
Additionally, you must never leave wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting on the rim for long periods. If you keep the surface relatively dry when not in use, the bond will remain incredibly strong. These easy habits ensure your restored fixture stays beautiful for over 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, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
