Let us face the cold hard truth about traditional home remodeling because it always costs more than you think.
Demolishing an old cast iron or steel tub usually means ripping out tiles and damaging your floorboards.
This mess forces you to hire plumbers and carpenters which instantly drains your hard-earned savings.
Instead of throwing cash down the drain you can opt for a modern chemical bonding process.
We apply a high-performance liquid acrylic coating directly over your worn porcelain or fiberglass.
This advanced technique seals up every single microscopic pore to prevent future mold growth and nasty soap scum buildup.
Our specialized crew travels all over the local area to deliver these premium restoration services right to your doorstep.
Actually we love serving the friendly communities around the scenic Missouri River basin where homes have so much character.
You get a beautiful sparkling finish that lasts for years without the headache of a weeks-long construction zone in your home.
First we must clean the entire area with industrial-strength cleaners to strip away decades of soap film and body oils.
Which means we prep the surface so the new materials can stick perfectly without any peeling later on.
We take this initial preparation phase very seriously because shortcuts will absolutely ruin the final look.
Next our technicians repair all those annoying chips, deep scratches, and rusty spots using specialized waterproof fillers.
This step restores the structural integrity of your basin so it feels smooth when you run your fingers over it.
After that we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to block any overspray.
Then we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor between the old material and the new coat.
Following this crucial step we spray multiple layers of a high-tech topcoat using precision spray equipment.
This careful application creates a deep, rich luster that mimics real fired porcelain while providing incredible durability.

| Total Project Cost | Very expensive ($3,000 - $8,000) | Highly affordable (Fraction of the cost) |
| Time to Complete | One to two weeks of loud mess | Just a few hours of clean work |

Our service area covers the entire local county of over twenty-two thousand proud residents who value high-quality home improvements.
We proudly serve historical communities across ZIP codes like 64024, 64062, and 64084 with prompt and friendly scheduling.
Many homes in this part of Missouri feature classic craftsmanship that you simply cannot find in modern construction.
Preserving those heavy vintage fixtures is almost always better than buying cheap modern plastic replacements.
Our local family-owned business understands how to handle these older treasures with the utmost respect and care.
We know that the median household income here sits around sixty-three thousand dollars so budgeting wisely is always a top priority.
Saving money on bathroom upgrades lets you spend your hard-earned cash on other important family needs.
This is why we focus on delivering maximum value with zero hidden fees or surprise costs on your final bill.
To keep your sparkling surface looking pristine you should avoid using harsh abrasive powder cleansers.
These rough chemicals will scratch the beautiful glossy protective coating over time and make it look dull.
We always recommend gentle liquid soaps and soft microfiber cloths to maintain that bright showroom shine.
Another great tip is to fix leaky faucets immediately so water does not drip constantly on the new finish.
Continuous dripping can wear down even the toughest materials and cause premature discoloration or staining.
Taking care of small plumbing issues early protects your home investment and keeps your bathroom looking fantastic.
Lastly you want to avoid using suction cup bathmats because they can pull at the newly bonded material.
We can actually apply a permanent slip-resistant texture to the bottom of your basin during our application process.
This optional safety feature gives you peace of mind without risking any damage to your gorgeous new finish.
Are you ready to transform your outdated bathroom into a clean, inviting space you can actually enjoy?

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.
