A dull or chipped tub in Sayner 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 with all those stubborn stains and ugly scratches staring back at you. Instead of ripping out the entire unit and spending a fortune on messy plumbing work, you can actually restore that original shine in just a few hours. Our local team specializes in applying a high-performance liquid acrylic coating directly over your existing cast iron or fiberglass setup to make it look brand new.
This budget-friendly process saves you thousands of dollars compared to a traditional remodel. Because we use advanced bonding agents, the new finish fuses completely with the old surface. You get to keep your heavy, durable classic tub while enjoying a pristine, glossy wash basin that feels incredibly smooth to the touch.
By choosing this smart update, you avoid weeks of dusty construction chaos in your home. We complete the entire transformation in less than a single day. That means you can go back to your normal routine almost immediately without dealing with contractors tracking mud through your hallways for a month.
Many homeowners confuse this specialized resurfacing technique with cheap DIY painting kits you buy at the hardware store. Those retail paint kits usually peel off within a few months because they lack professional-grade chemicals. We use an industrial-strength polyurethane resin coating that resists thermal shock and daily wear.
First, we meticulously clean the area with specialized acid washes to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. Next, we repair any deep chips or rust spots using a waterproof polyester filler. After sanding everything flat, we spray a molecular bonding agent that acts like a superglue between the old porcelain and the new topcoat.
To give you a better idea of how this compares to other options, look at the differences below:
| Factor | Professional Resurfacing | Acrylic Liners | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very Affordable | Expensive | Extremely High |
| Project Duration | 4 to 6 Hours | 1 to 2 Days | 1 to 2 Weeks |
| Durability | 10 to 15 Years | 5 to 10 Years | 20+ Years |
| Demolition Mess | None | Minimal | Severe |
Consequently, you save both time and money while achieving an identical cosmetic result. The final glaze looks so rich and deep that your guests will swear you bought a brand-new soaking basin from a high-end showroom. It is the ultimate shortcut to a clean, modern bathroom space.
Living up north in a small, tight-knit community of just over two hundred residents means reputation is everything to us. Whether you live near the peaceful shores of Plum Lake or closer to the heart of the 54560 ZIP code, we treat your home with the utmost respect. We know that local families with a median household income of around $57,813 want real, long-lasting value for their hard-earned dollars.
Because we operate right here in this beautiful scenic region, we understand the specific water chemistry challenges of northern Wisconsin. Iron-rich well water can quickly turn a gorgeous white basin into a rusty, yellowed eyesore. Our specialized topcoats are specifically designed to resist these tough mineral stains, making your weekly cleaning chores much easier.
Additionally, we take ventilation very seriously during the application process. We use heavy-duty exhaust fans to pull any chemical fumes safely out of your home through the nearest window. This leaves your living spaces smelling fresh and clean shortly after we pack up our tools.
With simple, proper maintenance, your newly glazed surface will easily last upwards of fifteen years. You simply need to avoid abrasive bleach cleansers and rough scrubbing pads that can scratch the glossy protective layer over time. Switching to gentle liquid soaps keeps the shine looking bright and reflective for a generation.
Moreover, we offer a comprehensive warranty on our workmanship to give you complete peace of mind. If the glaze ever bubbles or peels due to an application issue, we will come right back out to fix it. We stand behind our craft because we live in the same neighborhood as the people we serve.
You do not have to settle for basic white if you want to spice up your bathroom decor. While classic glossy white remains our most popular choice, we offer almond, biscuit, and modern gray tones to match your style. We can even match custom colors if you want to preserve a cool, mid-century retro vibe in your home.
This flexibility allows you to update your space without losing the historical charm of an older property. Many historic cabins around the area feature gorgeous cast iron clawfoot tubs that deserve to be saved. We love restoring these vintage treasures back to their former glory.
Old, cracked caulk around the edge of your washing area acts like a sponge for mildew and moisture. During our restoration process, we scrape away all that nasty old sealant and apply fresh, mold-resistant silicone. This creates a watertight barrier that protects your subfloor from expensive rot and structural water damage.
Furthermore, we can apply a slip-resistant texture to the bottom of your basin during the spraying process. This subtle texture helps prevent dangerous slips and falls without the need for ugly, bacteria-catching rubber mats. It is a fantastic safety upgrade for seniors and young children alike.
Indeed, this simple addition makes your daily shower routine much safer and more relaxing. You get a clean look and improved safety all wrapped into one quick home improvement project. It is these small details that make a massive difference in your daily life.
Are you ready to stop squinting at those ugly stains every time you try to relax in a warm bath? Our friendly local crew is ready to drive out to your property and inspect your current setup. We provide completely free, no-obligation written estimates so you know exactly what to expect before we ever start.
Simply reach out to us today to schedule a convenient time for us to take a look. We will answer all your questions, explain the prep steps, and help you choose the perfect finish for your home. Let us help you fall in love with your bathroom all over again without breaking the bank.
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 Sayner, 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.
