A dull or chipped tub in Ringle does not need a demolition crew. It needs one technician, one day and a sprayed finish that shines.
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.
You can finally stop hiding your outdated bathroom behind heavy shower curtains. Our local team brings the ultimate shine back to your worn wash basins and deep soaking basins right here in Marathon County. We help you skip the mess of traditional remodeling while saving thousands of dollars on your home improvement project.
Since your budget matters, we focus on restoring what you already own. This affordable process breathes new life into dull, stained, or chipped surfaces. You get a sparkling, clean look in just one day without any noisy demolition work.
First, we clean the entire area with specialized cleaners to remove years of soap scum and hard water deposits. This step is absolutely crucial because new coatings will not stick to oils or dirt. Actually, we spend way more time prepping the area than we do spraying the actual shiny material.
After that, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or nasty cracks with a heavy-duty filler. This makes the surface completely flat and smooth again. You will not even remember where the ugly damage used to be once we finish our magic.
Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old porcelain and the new finish. This chemical bond prevents peeling and bubbling down the road. It ensures your newly coated basin stays beautiful for many years to come.
Finally, we spray several coats of a high-tech acrylic polymer across the entire fixture. This topcoat cures into a rock-hard, glossy shield that looks exactly like brand-new porcelain. You get that rich, deep shine that makes your whole bathroom feel incredibly fresh and clean.
To start with, you save a mountain of cash by keeping your existing heavy cast iron or steel tub in place. Replacing a built-in tub often requires ripping out walls, plumbing, and expensive tile work. Our quick process avoids all that extra labor and keeps your hard-earned money in your wallet.
On top of that, we complete the entire transformation in less than eight hours. This means you do not have to live in a dusty construction zone for weeks on end. You can actually use your upgraded shower space the very next day without any hassle.
Furthermore, this smart service is highly eco-friendly because it keeps heavy, non-biodegradable fixtures out of our local Wisconsin landfills. You can feel great about making a green choice for your home. It is a win-win situation for your home value and the environment.
Moreover, the new non-porous surface is incredibly easy to clean and resist mold. You will spend far less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemicals. A quick wipe with a mild soap is all it takes to keep it looking pristine.
To help you make the best decision for your home, we put together a simple comparison of the three main paths you can take. You can see how our specialized spraying service stacks up against liners and total replacement.
| Factor to Consider | Professional Spray Resurfacing | Plastic Acrylic Liners | Full Demo & Replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very budget-friendly | Moderate to expensive | Extremely high cost |
| Time to Complete | Usually 4 to 8 hours | Several weeks for shipping | One to two weeks of loud noise |
| Risk of Trapped Water | None at all | High risk of mold underneath | Low if plumbing is perfect |
| Design Flexibility | Custom colors available | Very limited stock styles | Unlimited options but pricey |
Clearly, resurfacing offers the smartest balance of speed, cost, and long-term durability. It is the perfect choice for homeowners who want a fresh look without the headache of a major construction project. You get the look of a brand-new fixture at a fraction of the price.

We proudly serve everyone in the 54471 ZIP code and surrounding neighborhoods with fast, friendly service. You do not have to worry about out-of-town contractors who disappear when you need them. We are always just a quick call away if you ever need help or have questions.
To ensure your new finish lasts for a decade or more, you just need to follow a few simple care rules. Always avoid abrasive cleaners like steel wool or scouring powders that can scratch the glossy surface. Instead, stick to gentle, spray-on cleaners and soft microfiber cloths.
Additionally, you should never leave wet bath mats sitting inside the basin after your shower. Trapped moisture can weaken the bond over time and cause premature peeling. Taking these small steps will keep your fixture looking like a sparkling gem for years.
Indeed, those hardware store paint kits look tempting when you see them on the shelf for cheap. However, those products are usually simple epoxy paints that brush on unevenly and leave ugly brush marks. They lack the professional bonding agents needed to survive hot water and constant humidity.
Which means those cheap DIY coatings often start peeling and cracking within a few short months. When that happens, you have to pay even more money to have a professional strip off the failed paint. It is much safer and cheaper to let our experienced crew do it right the first time.
Now, you can take the first step toward the beautiful washroom you deserve without any pressure. We provide completely free, no-obligation quotes for every homeowner in our service area. We will look at your fixture, explain our process, and give you an honest price.
This lets you plan your home improvements with total confidence and zero stress. We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprise upcharges at the end of the job. What we quote is exactly what you pay for our top-tier workmanship.
So why wait any longer to fix that ugly, stained, or outdated fixture in your home? Contact us today to request your free on-site estimate and let us bring back the shine. You will love the way your bathroom looks when our friendly crew is done with it.
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 Ringle, 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
