A dull or chipped tub in San Anselmo 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.
Are you tired of staring at that stained tub in your home? Fixing this eyesore is totally possible when you ask for a free estimate from our local crew right now.
That dated porcelain surface needs some serious love. Fortunately, bringing back its original glow does not require a messy teardown or a massive budget.
Instead of ripping out heavy cast iron, our team sprays a durable coating directly over the existing basin. This clever process saves you thousands of dollars and cuts down project time to just one single day.
During the procedure, we thoroughly clean the basin, etch the old glaze, and apply industrial-grade bonding agents. Consequently, your bathroom gets a fresh lease on life without any structural headaches.
Living in a wonderful town nestled in Marin County means you appreciate quality craftsmanship and lasting beauty. With a cozy population of 12,567 residents scattered across ZIP codes 94960 and 94979, our community deserves top-tier home improvements.
Local homeowners enjoy a median household income hovering around $125,189, which encourages smart investments in property upkeep. Rather than blowing savings on a complete bathroom gut job, savvy locals prefer our targeted restoration methods.
Little chips and cracks act like sponges for mold and mildew. Eventually, water seeps underneath the surface and rots your subfloor.
Stopping this damage early protects your investment. Furthermore, a smooth finish lets you clean the area easily with mild soap and warm water.
First, we mask off your tiles, floors, and surrounding fixtures to prevent any accidental overspray. Then, we ventilate the room properly to clear out fumes while we work our magic.
After prepping the substrate, we spray multiple layers of specialized acrylic polyurethane. This robust coating cures into a hard, glossy shield that handles daily showers with ease.
| Feature | Full Replacement | Our Restoration Service |
|---|---|---|
| Time Required | One to two weeks | Just a few hours |
| Average Expense | Extremely high | Very budget-friendly |
| Mess Level | Major demolition | Clean and contained |
Clearly, keeping your original fixture in place is the winning choice. On top of that, you avoid landfill waste and keep your historic home authentic.
Curious about how long this newly sprayed finish actually lasts? Proper care and gentle cleaners ensure your modernized centerpiece stays gorgeous for ten to fifteen years.
Wondering if you can use your shower the same day? We recommend waiting at least twenty-four to forty-eight hours so the coating cures completely hard.
Clear out all shampoo bottles, soaps, and personal items from the immediate work zone before we show up. Meanwhile, keep pets and kids away from the bathroom so our technicians can work efficiently.
Removing shower curtains and floor mats gives us uninterrupted access to the perimeter. Thus, the setup goes faster and the final results look much cleaner.
Harsh scrubbing powders and abrasive scouring pads will scratch the fresh gloss. Instead, grab a soft sponge and non-abrasive liquid dish soap to wipe down the walls.
Preventing standing water helps avoid soap scum buildup over the long haul. Therefore, squeegeeing the sides after a relaxing bath keeps everything looking pristine.
Many folks worry that the new coating will peel off in giant sheets after a few months. Modern bonding agents chemically weld the new material to the old surface for maximum grip.
Another myth suggests that the treatment smells forever and ruins indoor air quality. Actually, our advanced ventilation fans clear out the odors quickly so your house smells normal by evening.
California homes often showcase unique architectural styles that deserve careful preservation. Restoring your vintage centerpiece maintains the charm of your property while upgrading functionality.
Furthermore, updating your bathroom increases overall property value if you decide to sell down the road. Buyers love walking into a sparkling washroom without any visible wear and tear.
Are you noticing rough patches that snag your washcloths during a routine scrub? That tactile warning means the protective top layer has worn away completely.
Do stubborn rust stains bleed out from around the drain assembly? Fixing these localized issues early stops them from spreading across the entire basin.
Our technicians apply a proprietary primer that etches into the original porcelain or fiberglass. This crucial chemical reaction guarantees the topcoats stay firmly anchored for years.
After the primer sets, we lay down high-build acrylic coats that self-level beautifully. Consequently, you get a mirror-like finish that feels silky smooth to the touch.
Standard bright white remains a timeless favorite for most modern bathroom designs. However, custom tinted options let you match existing tiles or experiment with subtle off-white tones.
Selecting the right shade brings harmony to your entire grooming space. Therefore, talk with our crew about color samples during your initial consultation.
Hardware store roll-on kits lack the professional spray equipment needed for a smooth factory look. Brush marks and uneven thickness often ruin the DIY attempt within months.
Hiring seasoned professionals ensures proper safety gear, professional ventilation, and industrial warranties. This smart choice saves you from having to scrape off a botched DIY job.
We pride ourselves on punctuality, polite communication, and spotless cleanup after every single project. Your satisfaction drives our business forward in this wonderful region.
Reading our past customer reviews shows how much care we put into every bathroom we touch. Accordingly, you can trust our reliable team to treat your home with total respect.

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 San Anselmo, 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.
