You can instantly save thousands of dollars on your home remodeling project right now. Fixing up your old washing tub instead of ripping it out saves huge amounts of cash and time. Get a free quote today to transform your chipped, ugly basin into something pure and glossy.
Now, most folks think they gotta smash up their whole bathroom just to get rid of a nasty lookin tub. Honestly, smashing tiles and dragging heavy cast iron down the hallway sounds like an absolute nightmare to me. Besides that, hiring plumbers and tile guys will drain your bank account faster than a hole in a bucket.
Instead, restoring that smooth glassy surface right where it sits is way smarter. Actually, our crew comes right to your house with special topcoats and professional sprayers to make that worn-out finish look totally brand new. Thus, you get a bright shine without the messy demolition drama in your home.
Consequently, you save heaps of hard-earned cash while getting a shiny finish that lasts for years. Plus, the whole project takes just a few hours instead of weeks of dusty construction chaos. Who really wants contractors wearing dirty boots tromping through their hallway for a whole month anyway?
First off, old fixtures were built way tougher than the cheap plastic stuff sold in stores today. Back in the day, manufacturers made heavy duty cast iron units that hold heat super well. So, keeping that solid classic base while updating the outer skin gives you the best of both worlds.
Additionally, modern chemical bonding tech has gotten crazy good over the last few years. Years ago, painted surfaces might peel off after six months if you dropped a shampoo bottle. Nowadays, high-tech acrylic coatings grip onto the old porcelain like superglue, giving you incredible toughness and unbelievable charm.
Furthermore, taking care of your existing fixtures helps out the local environment big time. Throwing a three hundred pound heavy metal basin into a local landfill is just terrible for our planet. So, picking a clean resurfacing job keeps junk out of the trash dump while keeping your wallet fat.
To begin with, we scrub the entire basin surface using powerful industrial cleaners to remove soap scum. Any leftover oils or grease will totally ruin the new coat, so we take our sweet time here. Because of this, the new layer locks down tight without forming weak spots later on.
Next, we fill in every single annoying chip, scratch, and deep rust spot with special filler compounds. After sanding those repairs completely flat, we apply a strong acid etch or a specialized chemical primer. This step creates microscopic grooves so the fresh topcoat can grab on tight and stick forever.
Finally, we mask off your walls, floor, and shiny fixtures using thick plastic tape and heavy paper. Then, our technician sprays multiple thin layers of high-grade coating with a high-precision air gun. As a result, you get a deep mirror gloss that looks like it just came straight off the factory floor.
Well, let us break down the numbers so you can see why this option wins every single time. Replacing a whole unit involves buying new drywall, paying tile setters, and hiring expensive pipe plumbers. Here is a quick handy table showing how the smart choice stacks up against full replacement.
| Work Type | Average Cost | Time to Finish | Mess Factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Big Bucks | 1 to 2 Weeks | Dust Everywhere |
| Surface Restoration | Super Low | Single Day | Zero Destruction |
After checking out that table, the smart choice is totally clear for any budget conscious homeowner. You keep your cash in the bank where it belongs while enjoying a sparkly wash space. Therefore, spending money on costly tear-outs just does not make any logical sense anymore.
Normally, living in a beautiful scenic area nestled in Washington County means you care about keeping your house looking top notch. Located in the lovely state of Oregon, zip code 97225 features awesome homes with high median household incomes where quality upgrades really matter. Even in cozy communities with a small population count, people want great looking bathrooms that stand out.
Even though our region gets plenty of wet green weather, your interior spaces can stay super bright and welcoming. Our skilled local mobile team drives right out to your neighborhood to fix up old pink, green, or stained tubs. So, you never have to worry about long wait times or dealing with distant big city corporate offices.
On top of that, local homeowners know that keeping house value high requires smart quick upgrades. Updating an outdated bathroom setup instantly boosts what your property is worth on the local real estate market. Which means you build easy equity while getting to enjoy a fresh clean place to soak every night.
Believe me, those cheap little roller paint kits from the local hardware store are a giant trap. They usually brush on thick and clumpy, leaving nasty brush marks and tiny air bubbles all over your tub. Eventually, water sneaks underneath that cheap paint and causes massive peeling patches within just a couple months.
Instead, commercial grade coatings require special air pressure equipment and heavy duty ventilation fans to dry right. Without proper chemical exhaust masks, the strong fumes in a tight bathroom can make you feel super dizzy. So, leaving this specific job to trained pros keeps your lungs totally safe and saves you massive headaches.
Also, fixing a messed up DIY job actually costs way more money than just doing it right the first time. We end up having to scrape off all that gooey, half-peeled paint using harsh chemicals before we can even start our real process. Save yourself the huge headache and let our crew handle the tough labor from day one.
To keep that brilliant shine poppin for decades, you gotta throw away those scratchy bleach scrubbers. Abrasive cleaning powders scratch up the smooth clear coat, turning that awesome shiny finish dull over time. Just use mild liquid soap and a soft microfiber cloth to wipe everything down real easy.
Besides that, watch out for leaky faucets that drip constant water over the exact same spot day after day. Steady water drips wear down even the toughest industrial coatings if left dripping for months on end. Fixing a leaky shower head quickly protects your beautiful new finish so it stays looking sharp as a tack.
Likewise, avoid using heavy suction cup bath mats with rough little rubber feet underneath them. Those tiny suction cups pull hard on the surface layer, which can slowly lift the coating over extended periods. Instead, ask us about our special non-slip textured bottoms built right into the finish during spraying day.
Obviously, we take giant pride in treating your house with absolute respect from the second we step inside. Our workers drop floor covers across your carpets so we do not track an ounce of mud onto your clean floors. On top of that, we always clean up our gear and throw away all masking tape before we head out.
Moreover, we offer super clear upfront pricing without any weird surprise fees tacked on at the end of the day. You know exactly what the whole job costs before we even unlock our tool spray truck in your driveway. That honest approach makes the whole process totally stress free for you and your family.
Ultimately, seeing the huge smile on a customer face when they inspect their shiny renewed wash basin is the best part of our work day. You go from having a gross rusty eyesore to a brilliant spa-like fixture in just one afternoon... it feels like magic every single time! Why wait around living with an ugly bathroom when an easy fix is right around the corner?
Right now is the absolute best time to take action and finally fix up that tired old wash basin. Our friendly local team is standing by ready to answer all your questions and set up a flexible appointment time. Simply reach out to us today to grab your fast and totally free price estimate with zero obligations!
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 Raleigh Hills, 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.
