Maybe you look at your stained tub every single morning and just sigh. Those ugly stains and tiny scratches seem to multiply no matter how hard you scrub them. Honestly, ripping out a heavy cast iron basin is a total nightmare that ruins your weekend. This is why we bring the specialized liquid coatings directly to your home instead.
Choosing this smart update keeps your existing layout completely intact. Indeed, we avoid the dusty mess of demolition by working with what you already own. You get a sparkling clean surface that feels fresh and new. Plus, our quick process takes only a single day to finish up.
Our team treats every home with the utmost respect during the job. We carefully mask off your floors and walls to keep things tidy. Actually, we love seeing the shocked look on homeowners' faces when they see the final result. You deserve a beautiful space where you can actually unwind after a long day.
This budget-friendly process breathes brand new life into aged porcelain and fiberglass units. Specifically, we apply high-tech bonding agents and durable topcoats that fuse with the original structure. This high-performance layer blocks out moisture and prevents future rust from creeping back in. As a result, you get a glossy finish that looks like it just came from the factory floor.
Many folks worry that their old basin is simply too far gone for saving. Luckily, our deep cleaning steps remove decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. We then patch up any deep chips or hairline cracks with waterproof structural fillers. Consequently, the final sprayed glaze lays down perfectly flat and looks incredibly smooth.
To help you compare your options, we put together a quick breakdown of how this process stacks up against a full replacement:
| Factor to Consider | Our Restoration Method | Full Tear-Out and Replace |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | Just 4 to 6 hours total | Up to a full week of mess |
| Total Financial Investment | Very affordable for any budget | Extremely expensive plumbing labor |
| Disruption to Daily Life | Minimal noise and zero dust | Major construction chaos and debris |
Now, you might wonder how long this fresh finish will actually last. If you care for it properly, this beautiful new surface easily shines for over a decade. Which means you save money both today and down the road. Our friendly local technicians always explain the simple maintenance steps before we pack up our tools.
Living in this beautiful region means you value hard work and smart financial choices. For instance, families residing in Pottawatomie County appreciate getting maximum value out of their home improvement projects. We proudly serve this wonderful community, which features a thriving population of active residents and a healthy median household income of about seventy-three thousand dollars. Whether you live in ZIP codes like 66547, 66502, or 66535, we bring our mobile service right to your driveway.
Older homes throughout the local area often feature gorgeous vintage fixtures that are built like tanks. Sadly, the outer enamel on these classic tubs wears thin over several decades of daily use. Replacing them usually requires breaking doorways or cutting down walls just to get the heavy unit out. Happily, our on-site restoration preserves that historic charm while upgrading the usability of your space.
We use top-tier ventilation systems to keep your indoor air clean and safe during our visit. This specialized equipment pulls any fumes out of your home while the new glaze cures. Because of this, you can sleep soundly in your own bed the very same night we do the work. We make safety and cleanliness our top priorities on every single neighborhood job.
First, we start with an incredibly thorough chemical wash to strip away old oils and grime. This crucial step ensures the new materials grip the old substrate with maximum strength. Without this deep prep work, the fresh coating would simply peel off within a few months. That is why we never rush this initial phase of the project.
Next, we apply a specialized acid etching agent to create microscopic pores in the porcelain. This process acts like invisible sandpaper, giving our high-performance bonding agent a perfect surface to hold onto. After that, we spray multiple layers of premium acrylic urethane using professional HVLP equipment. This advanced technique ensures an even, mirror-like gloss without any annoying drips or brush marks.
Finally, we let the new coating cure into a rock-hard shield over twenty-four hours. This patience rewards you with a durable barrier that resists daily scratches and tough stains. On top of that, cleaning your tub becomes incredibly easy because dirt has nowhere to hide anymore. You can say goodbye to harsh abrasive powders and endless scrubbing forever.
You might see cheap rolled-on paint kits at your local home improvement store. However, these consumer products lack the professional-grade bonding agents required for a long-lasting chemical weld. They often start peeling within weeks, leaving you with an even bigger mess to scrape off. Hiring us prevents these costly mistakes and guarantees a beautiful, uniform finish from day one.
We possess the safety gear and heavy ventilation fans needed to handle these professional compounds safely. Additionally, our experienced hands know exactly how to prep different materials, including acrylic, gelcoat, and classic cast iron. This specialized knowledge means you get a flawless result that no hardware store box kit can ever match. We stand behind our craftsmanship so you can enjoy total peace of mind.
To protect your new surface, you should always avoid using abrasive bleach cleansers. Instead, we recommend gentle liquid dish soaps or mild bathroom sprays that wipe away easily with a soft sponge. This simple routine preserves the brilliant luster for many years to come. Ultimately, a little bit of gentle care keeps your washroom looking like a luxury retreat.
Also, it is smart to fix leaky faucets quickly so constant dripping does not wear down the glaze prematurely. This easy habit protects your plumbing and your beautiful new finish at the same exact time. We love sharing these helpful tips to ensure your investment stays gorgeous. Our team is always just a quick phone call away if you ever have questions.

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.
