A dull or chipped tub in Santa Rosa 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.
Your old tub looks pretty rough these days. Between the ugly stains and that weird outdated color from decades ago, taking a bath feels more like a chore than a relaxing escape. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars throwing everything into a dumpster just to get a clean, shiny surface again.
By choosing a smart, modern resurfacing option, you get to keep your existing fixture while making it look brand new. This clever process saves you a mountain of cash and avoids the dusty nightmare of tearing out walls. Our team travels right to your home to deliver a gorgeous finish that lasts for years.
We believe in keeping things simple and affordable for our hard-working neighbors. If you want to transform your bathroom without the headache, click the button below to get your free estimate today!
Instead of ripping out heavy cast iron or steel, we apply a high-performance liquid acrylic coating over your existing basin. This specialized material bonds directly to the old porcelain or fiberglass on a molecular level. Consequently, you get a thick, glossy defensive layer that looks identical to a brand-new factory install.
To make this magic happen, we must first prep the area with professional-grade cleaning agents to strip away years of soap scum and body oils. After repairing any deep chips or rust spots, we spray on a proprietary bonding agent. Finally, we apply several coats of our top-tier finish, which cures into a rock-hard shield.
This method works incredibly well on various household fixtures, saving you from the high cost of plumbing hookups. Check out how different materials benefit from this advanced treatment:
| Fixture Material | Common Problems solved | After-Treatment Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Cast Iron | Rust spots, dull finish, deep scratches | Brilliant gloss and sealed rust protection |
| Fiberglass | Hairline cracks, yellowing, structural flexing | Reinforced strength and uniform color Restoration |
| Porcelain Steel | Chipped edges, hard water stains | Smooth, non-porous surface that resists dirt |
Think about the sheer chaos of a traditional bathroom remodel. First, a contractor must smash your old surround, likely damaging your drywall and floor tiles in the process. Then, you have to pay a licensed plumber a small fortune just to connect the new drain pipes.
By opting for our specialized refinishing service, you bypass all of that stress completely. Our process takes only a few hours from start to finish, meaning you can use your shower again the very next day. This rapid turnaround keeps your daily routine running smoothly without any major disruptions.
On top of that, your wallet will thank you for choosing the smarter route. Because we do not have to buy expensive new materials or pay disposal fees at the local landfill, we pass those massive savings directly to you.
Let us face the facts about home improvement budgets. A complete tear-out often spirals out of control because of hidden water damage behind the walls. Our surface restoration keeps your costs completely predictable, with no nasty surprises waiting for you when the bill arrives.
We pride ourselves on offering honest pricing for families living in Guadalupe County. With the median household income in this beautiful area sitting around $27,273, we know how important it is to stretch every hard-earned dollar. Our affordable services ensure you get a luxurious washroom experience without draining your savings account.
Every time a homeowner chooses to restore rather than replace, our local environment wins. Heavy construction waste clog up our landfills and require massive amounts of energy to manufacture and transport. By breathing new life into your existing setup, you keep solid cast iron and fiberglass out of the trash heap.
Our team utilizes advanced ventilation equipment during the application process to keep your indoor air safe and breathable. We take great care to mask off your entire bathroom, ensuring that overspray stays far away from your walls and floors. You get a sparkling clean result with a very minimal carbon footprint.
Once we complete the job, maintaining that brilliant luster is incredibly easy. You must avoid abrasive bleach powders or scratchy green scrubbing pads, as these will eventually dull the beautiful new coat. Instead, a simple spray of mild dish soap or a gentle foaming cleaner keeps the surface pristine.
This smooth, non-porous finish actually repels dirt and grime much better than worn-out original porcelain. Which means you will spend far less time scrubbing on your hands and knees over the weekend. A quick wipe with a microfiber cloth after your shower is all it takes to maintain that showroom shine.
We always provide our customers with a detailed care guide to ensure their investment remains beautiful for a decade or more. If you follow these simple guidelines, your renewed basin will look fantastic for a very long time.

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 Santa Rosa, 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.
