A dull or chipped tub in Russell 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.

Many folks mistake our process for a simple coat of paint. Actually, this specialized service requires highly technical steps and industrial-grade bonding agents. We carefully prep your old cast iron or fiberglass piece so the new coating sticks forever.
First, we strip away old DIY coatings and clean the area with professional solutions. This deep prep work removes years of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. Once the surface is completely clean, we repair any deep chips or unsightly cracks.
Next, we apply a chemical bonding agent that fuses the new finish to the old substrate. This step creates a molecular bridge that prevents peeling down the road. Finally, we spray a premium topcoat that hardens into a beautiful, durable glaze.
This process completely seals porous surfaces where mold and bacteria love to hide. Consequently, you will spend much less time scrubbing your bathroom on the weekends. Just a quick wipe with a mild soap keeps everything looking brand new.
Tearing out an old fixture often leads to unexpected plumbing headaches behind the drywall. Which means a simple weekend project can quickly turn into a multi-week financial nightmare. Our on-site process avoids all that chaos by keeping your original plumbing completely intact.
To help you compare your options, we put together a handy breakdown of how our restoration service stacks up against a traditional remodel:
| Factor | Full Replacement | Professional Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High (often thousands) | Highly Affordable |
| Project Duration | Up to a week or more | Done in a single day |
| Mess and Noise | Extreme dust and debris | Minimal, with active ventilation |
| Lifespan | Long-term | 10 to 15 years with proper care |
On top of saving money, you also protect the environment by keeping heavy cast iron out of local landfills. This green approach makes sense for both your wallet and the planet. We take great pride in offering this sustainable choice to our neighbors.
Another major plus is the sheer variety of modern colors we can apply to your fixture. If you hate that outdated 1970s pink or avocado green, we can easily change it to a clean, bright white. This instant color upgrade modernizes your entire space overnight.

Because we live and work nearby, we care about the quality of our craftsmanship and our reputation in the community. We do not use cheap, smelly retail kits that peel off after a few months of use. Instead, we invest in commercial-grade ventilation systems and top-tier materials to ensure a safe, beautiful result.
This local focus means you get personalized service from real people who answer the phone when you call. We treat your home just like we would treat our own mother's house. You can count on us for transparent pricing and clear communication from start to finish.
Before we start spraying, we protect your entire bathroom with heavy-duty plastic sheeting and masking tape. This step ensures that no overspray lands on your vanity, toilet, or tile floors. We also set up a powerful exhaust fan to pull fumes out through the nearest window.
After prepping the room, we use specialized tools to etch the old porcelain or acrylic surface. This etching process creates microscopic ridges that help our primer grip onto the fixture. If your tub has rust spots around the drain, we grind them down and treat them with a rust inhibitor.
Once the prep work is perfect, we spray multiple layers of our high-tech acrylic coating. This material cures quickly, forming a non-porous barrier that resists impact and stains. After a brief curing period, we remove all masking materials and leave your bathroom spotless.
To keep your newly restored surface looking pristine, you simply need to avoid abrasive cleaners. Avoid bleach, steel wool, or gritty scouring powders that can scratch the glossy finish. Using gentle dish soap or a specialized spray keeps the shine alive for more than a decade.
If you are tired of looking at a dingy, stained, or outdated bathroom, we are ready to help.

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 Russell, 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.
