In Pleasant Valley, Wichita, the Wichita technician we send repairs, sprays and caulks your tub where it stands.
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Maybe you are staring at that ugly, outdated tub right now and wondering if you should just throw it in the trash.
Before you spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project, you should know there is a much better way to fix it.
We can completely restore that worn-out surface right in your home and make it shine like new again!
Actually, this simple process saves you tons of time and keeps money in your pocket.
You will avoid the huge headache of dealing with loud construction workers tearing up your walls.
Which means you get to enjoy a sparkling clean bathroom again in just a few hours...
Now, our local team is ready to drive over to your house and give you a completely free estimate.
This lets you plan your budget easily without any hidden fees or high-pressure sales tactics.
So why wait when a beautiful, shiny bathing space is just a quick message away?
Honestly, trying to rip out an old heavy cast iron or steel basin is a total nightmare.
You often have to break the surrounding wall tiles, move plumbing pipes, and even widen your bathroom door just to get the old one out.
This quickly turns a small weekend upgrade into a massive financial disaster that drags on for weeks.
On top of that, new modern tubs are often made of cheap, thin plastic that feels flimsy when you stand in it.
Your original heavy-duty fixture has much better bones and is worth saving.
By choosing to apply a fresh, high-gloss polyurethane coating over the existing structure, you preserve that classic durability.
Furthermore, the cost of hiring plumbers, tilers, and trash haulers adds up faster than you think.
Our affordable restoration service avoids all of those extra trades entirely.
You get the exact same beautiful result for a tiny fraction of the price of replacement.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to shield your floors and vanity.
We also set up a powerful exhaust fan in the window to safely vent out all the fumes while we work.
This step ensures your home stays clean and safe from start to finish.
Next, we use a specialized acid paste to etch the old porcelain or acrylic surface.
This chemical treatment strips away years of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits that regular cleaners cannot touch.
As a result, we create a perfectly porous surface that allows our new materials to bond permanently.
Then, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks using a heavy-duty waterproof filler.
We sand these areas down until they are completely flush with the rest of the unit.
You will never be able to tell where the original damage even was!
| Step of the Process | What We Do | The Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Masking and setup of ventilation fans | Protects your home from dust and strong odors |
| Surface Etching | Apply specialized bonding agents | Ensures the new finish will never peel or bubble |
| Spraying Finish | Apply multiple coats of high-gloss acrylic | Creates a brilliant, glass-like shine that looks brand new |
Naturally, the biggest advantage is how fast we get the job done.
Most projects take only four to six hours from the moment we walk in to the moment we pack up.
This means you can start using your freshly coated shower again the very next day!
Additionally, the new non-porous topcoat is incredibly easy to keep clean.
Dirt and mildew have a hard time sticking to the super smooth finish.
You can finally stop scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh abrasive chemicals!
Specifically, we offer a wide variety of custom colors to match whatever style you want.
Whether you want a classic bright white, a soft almond, or a modern gray, we have you covered.
This lets you update your entire bathroom color scheme without spending a fortune.
We love serving homeowners throughout this beautiful part of the air capital of the world.
If you live in the peaceful residential community of Pleasant Valley, which sits comfortably near the winding Arkansas River in the northern part of Wichita, Kansas, we are just a short drive away!
Since we are local, we can easily swing by your house to check out your bathroom and give you an accurate price on the spot.
Indeed, this lovely Kansas neighborhood, located within the 67204 ZIP code, is known for its quiet streets and charming mid-century homes.
Many of these houses were built decades ago, meaning they feature original, high-quality fixtures that are perfect candidates for our services.
Instead of destroying the historic charm of your home, we help you preserve it while giving it a clean, modern face-lift.
Even though this specific pocket of the city is a cozy, tight-knit residential zone, we treat every single customer like our closest neighbor.
We know the local water here can sometimes be hard on plumbing fixtures, causing ugly orange rust stains around the drain.
Our durable bonding agents are specifically designed to stop that rust in its tracks and prevent it from bleeding back through your new glossy finish.
If you take care of it properly, your newly glazed surface can easily last ten to fifteen years. You just need to avoid using abrasive cleaners like steel wool or harsh bleaching powders. We will give you detailed care instructions so you can keep it looking pristine for a very long time.
Yes, the bonding agents and topcoats do have a very strong chemical odor while we spray them. However, our high-powered industrial ventilation systems pull almost all of the smell out of your house during the process. Any remaining faint odor usually disappears completely within twenty-four hours once the coating cures.
Absolutely, we can restore units that have been previously painted or poorly glazed by DIY kits. We will just need to strip off the old peeling layer first before we can apply our professional-grade materials. This extra step takes a bit more time but it guarantees the new coat adheres perfectly.
Now is the perfect time to stop ignoring that embarrassing, dingy bathroom.
You do not have to live with a stained, scratched, or outdated color scheme anymore.
Our friendly team is ready to bring back the brilliant shine and warmth your home deserves.
Contact us today to schedule your convenient, no-obligation home visit.
We will inspect your fixture, explain the process in detail, and hand you a written price estimate for free.
Let us help you transform your bathing space into a beautiful oasis without the stress of a major remodel!
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 Pleasant Valley, Wichita, 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.
