In Riverside, 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.

Many folks believe that a worn-out bathing fixture must go straight to the landfill.
On the contrary, our high-tech bonding agents and specialized acrylic coatings breathe fresh life into old cast iron or fiberglass.
This process creates a molecular bond that resists peeling and looks exactly like fresh porcelain.
To achieve these stellar results, we start with a meticulous cleaning process to remove every bit of soap scum and mineral deposits.
After that, we patch up any deep scratches, gouges, or rusty spots to ensure a perfectly flat foundation.
Consequently, the final finish looks incredibly smooth and feels fantastic when you slide in for a soak.
| Project Aspect | Full Replacement | Our Refinishing Service |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very expensive (often $3,000+) | Highly affordable (fraction of the cost) |
| Time to Complete | Several days of messy construction | Done in just a few hours |
| Durability | Depends on the new material bought | Lasts for years with proper care |
Once the prep work is complete, we spray on several layers of premium topcoat using professional-grade ventilation equipment.
This advanced technique prevents any overspray and keeps your home smelling clean and fresh.
As a result, your bathroom transforms from a dated eye-sore into a bright oasis of pure relaxation.
Living in this gorgeous historic slice of the Sunflower State means appreciating classic architecture and solid, old-school craftsmanship.
Specifically, the lovely neighborhood of Riverside boasts gorgeous homes that deserve to keep their original charm.
By choosing to restore rather than replace, you preserve the heavy duty cast iron fixtures that simply are not made anymore.
Local residents in the 67203 ZIP code area understand the value of a hard-earned dollar.
While the median household income here allows for comfortable living, nobody wants to throw cash away on unnecessary plumbing bills.
Because of this, updating your existing porcelain or fiberglass is the absolute smartest way to boost your home value.
Furthermore, our local team knows the unique water conditions of the Arkansas River region and how they affect your bathroom.
Hard water minerals can easily dull a finish over time, which is why our protective topcoats are formulated to resist staining.
This means you will spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemical cleaners.
You might feel tempted to grab a cheap box kit from the local hardware store on the weekend.
However, those roll-on epoxy products often peel off in giant sheets after only a couple of hot baths.
This happens because retail kits lack the industrial-strength etching acids and bonding agents that only pros can access.
When a DIY job fails, you end up paying double to have the old, flaky paint stripped off before we can do it right.
Save yourself the immense frustration and let our trained crew handle the prep, masking, and spraying with professional tools.
This decision guarantees a flawless, mirror-like shine that will stand up to daily use for years to come.
On top of that, working with strong chemicals requires proper safety gear and high-volume exhaust fans.
We bring all the necessary safety equipment to protect your household and ensure a clean, toxic-free application process.
So you can just sit back, relax, and watch your bathroom undergo a magical transformation.
First, our friendly technician arrives on time and carefully masks off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets.
This step protects your vanity, floors, and walls from any accidental overspray or dust.
Then, we set up our exhaust system to channel all fumes safely out the nearest window.
Next comes the critical chemical wash that strips away decades of body oils, hard water deposits, and old soap.
If your fixture has been painted before, we use a specialized stripping agent to clean the surface down to its original state.
Which ensures that our new coating sticks perfectly to the substrate without any bubbling or lifting.
After repairing any chips with a waterproof polyester filler, we apply our proprietary chemical bonding agent.
Think of this agent like a double-sided tape at a microscopic level, linking the old surface to the new topcoat.
Finally, we apply several coats of our high-gloss acrylic urethane using a precision spray gun for an incredibly sleek look.
Once we pack up our gear and leave, you only need to wait about twenty-four hours before using your shower again.
To maintain that gorgeous, factory-new luster, you should always avoid abrasive scouring pads and harsh bleach cleansers.
Instead, simply wipe down the surface with a soft sponge and mild dish soap or a gentle liquid cleaner.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting directly on the ledge.
Standing water under those bottles can trap moisture and slowly dull the finish over several years.
Using a hanging shower caddy keeps your surfaces dry, clean, and looking absolutely spectacular.
Also, make sure you do not use bath mats with suction cups on your newly restored tub floor.
The constant pulling action of the suction cups can eventually weaken the bond of the coating.
If you need a non-slip surface, just let us know beforehand and we can apply a permanent, slip-resistant texture right into the finish!
There is absolutely no reason to live with a stained, ugly bathing space for another single day.
Our local team of friendly professionals is ready to restore your fixtures and bring back that bright, clean vibe.
Plus, our quick process saves you a massive pile of cash that you can spend on other home improvement projects.
Getting your free estimate is super simple and takes only a minute of your time.
We will visit your home, inspect your bathroom, and give you a clear, honest price with zero hidden fees.

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 Riverside, 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.
