A dull or chipped tub in Rock Island 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.
Looking to overhaul your outdated bathroom without spending your entire life savings? You can get a stunning refinished basin that looks brand new for a fraction of the cost by getting a free estimate today.
Let us talk about that worn out fixture sitting in your washroom right now. Naturally, you might think tearing it out is the only real choice you have left. Actually, ripping out old plumbing fixtures creates a massive mess that lasts for days on end.
Plus, the labor fees alone will make your jaw drop right onto the cold tile floor. Instead of smashing heavy cast iron or acrylic into tiny pieces, smart homeowners choose to restore what they already own. This fast process saves you thousands of hard earned dollars while delivering a brilliant mirror finish.
Moreover, the existing layout of your room stays totally intact during the job. Honestly, nobody likes having construction workers stomping through their hallway for weeks. By opting to resurface the surface, you get a clean space back in just a single day.
Over time, heavy soap scum and harsh chemical cleaners eat away at the top coating. Consequently, the glossy shine fades into a dull mat surface that grabs onto dirt like glue. Scrubbing it till your arms hurt simply will not bring back that original smooth feel.
Eventually, tiny hairline cracks begin to show up all over the bottom curve. Beyond looking ugly, these little fissures hold onto nasty bacteria and ugly mildew growth. Swapping your sponge for professional coating techniques fixes these deep microscopic pores for good.
Furthermore, accidental drops from heavy shampoo bottles can chip away the protective enamel layer. Leaving raw material exposed to constant water leads to nasty rust stains pretty quickly. Applying a fresh chemical bond seals everything tight so moisture never touches the underlying frame again.
First off, the entire area gets a deep cleaning using specialized industrial strippers. Obviously, any leftover body oils or lime deposits will ruin the new finish if left behind. We scrub every inch until the foundation is completely bare and squeak clean.
Next, we repair every single tiny chip and deep scratch using durable filling agents. Following that step, a high tech chemical etching compound gets applied right onto the cleaned base. As a result, the brand new topcoat grips onto the underlying material with crazy strength.
Finally, we spray multiple thin layers of professional grade acrylic polymer over the whole surface. Indeed, using specialized ventilation equipment keeps your indoor air super clean and odorless throughout the process. The resulting gloss makes your old tub look like it just rolled off the factory floor.
| Standard Replacement | Chemical Surface Restoration | |
|---|---|---|
| Takes 3 to 7 days | Completed in just 4 to 6 hours | |
| Costs thousands in labor and tiling | Saves up to 75% compared to buying new | |
| Creates dust and heavy trash | Mess free process with zero demolition | |
| Risk of hidden wall plumbing leaks | Keeps original plumbing untouched |
Living in a cozy neighborhood in Broward County with around 3,076 friendly residents means keeping house values high matters. Furthermore, keeping up with local home trends helps protect your property investment over the long haul. A beautiful washroom upgrade brings immediate value without draining your bank account dry.
Interestingly, the median household income in our sun soaked zip code area requires smart spending choices. Why toss money down the drain on expensive tear outs when refinishing yields identical visual results? Spending less money on cosmetic fixes leaves extra cash in your pocket for fun family weekend trips.
Additionally, local real estate markets favor homes that feature bright modern bath fixtures during open house tours. Prospective buyers immediately notice discolored, scratched up basins and start calculating heavy discount offers. Spending a small amount to restore that factory shine pays back big time during home sales.
Maybe you saw a cheap DIY box kit at the local hardware superstore last weekend. Regrettably, those off the shelf paint kits rarely last more than a few months before peeling off in big sheets. Store bought paint simply lacks the heavy duty chemical bonds required to withstand daily hot showers.
Besides, rolling on paint with a hand brush leaves terrible streak marks all over the place. Smooth factory finishes require high pressure spray equipment operated by seasoned hands who know the exact thickness needed. Doing it yourself usually ends with a sticky mess that costs more money to strip off later.
On top of that, home store chemicals release terrible fumes that linger inside your living room for days. Professional teams use high powered exhaust fans that push fumes directly outside your window during application. Hiring a local contractor guarantees a smooth finish without ruining your weekend or your lungs.
Thankfully, keeping your newly coated surface shiny takes almost zero heavy effort on your part. Right after the job, you just need to avoid abrasive bleaching powders that scratch delicate top coatings. Switching to soft spray cleaners keeps the protective gloss layer looking fresh for over a decade.
Also, ditching those cheap rubber bath mats with tiny suction cups underneath is a great idea. Over time, those suction pads pull on the new coating and can weaken the chemical bond. Instead, asking for an integrated non slip texture built right into the liquid coat keeps you safe from slipping.
To top it off, fixing leaky shower heads prevents persistent water drips from eroding the glossy seal over time. Small maintenance steps like wiping down the bottom after a shower go a long way. Taking basic care ensures your glowing washroom looks fantastic for years to come.
When our friendly crew arrives at your front door, we treat your home with absolute respect. First, we cover your floor tiles, vanity counters, and nearby walls with thick protective plastic sheeting. Preventing overspray means your bathroom stays completely clean throughout our entire visit.
After preparing the room, the actual chemical cleaning and spraying steps take only a few short hours. Before you know it, the strong smell disappears thanks to our heavy duty air mover blowers. You can literally walk back into your washroom that same evening and admire the bright reflection.
Once the curing period finishes a short day later, your upgraded bath area is ready for a hot soak. Unquestionably, looking down at a pristine crystal white surface brings instant relaxation after a long grueling workday. All it takes to start is picking up the phone to request your zero obligation price estimate.

Taking action right now costs you absolutely nothing since our detailed quotes are completely free of charge. Our team comes directly to your driveway, inspects your current layout, and gives you an honest price upfront.

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 Rock Island, 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.

The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
