A dull or chipped tub in Selawik 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.

Naturally, you might wonder how we turn a beat-up basin into something gorgeous.
We start by stripping away old, peeling coatings and cleaning the surface with special acid-free compounds.
This step is critical because any leftover grime will ruin the bond of the new materials.
After the deep clean, we repair any deep gouges, chips, or rust spots with premium fillers.
Once the structure is smooth, we apply a high-tech bonding agent to lock everything in place.
Consequently, the new topcoat sticks like glue and will not peel off when you take a hot bath.
Finally, we spray on several coats of a specialized acrylic polymer that cures into a rock-hard shield.
This advanced liquid acrylic mimics the depth of real porcelain but costs only a fraction of the price.
Your old fixture instantly gains a glossy, brilliant luster that resists stains and scratches for years.
Think about the sheer nightmare of hiring a contractor to tear out a heavy cast iron basin.
They usually have to smash the old unit, rip up your beautiful tiles, and mess with the pipes.
Instead of dealing with that chaos, our quick process keeps your original bathroom layout totally intact.
On top of that, the financial savings of this modern process are absolutely massive.
You can use those extra savings on other fun home projects or family trips.
To give you a clearer picture of the benefits, look at this quick comparison table:
| Comparison Factor | Our Restoration Service | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | 3 to 5 hours | 3 to 7 days of mess |
| Total Project Cost | Very affordable | Extremely expensive |
| Plumbing Changes Needed | None at all | Major pipe rerouting |
| Lifespan of New Surface | 10 to 15 years with care | Varies by tub quality |
Clearly, choosing to refresh what you already own is the smartest path forward.
You avoid the headache of dusty drywall and loud construction noise echoing through your living space.
Plus, our friendly team completes the entire job in less than a single afternoon.
Living up here in the Northwest Arctic Borough brings some unique home maintenance challenges.
Extreme seasonal shifts cause houses to shift, which puts stress on rigid bathroom fixtures.
Our flexible, high-grade coatings expand and contract naturally without cracking under pressure.
Whether you reside in the local area of Selawik or nearby spots, we know your struggles.
With a local population of around 839 neighbors, we treat everyone like close family.
We understand that the local median household income is about $35,938, so we keep our prices fair.
Serving the entire 99770 ZIP code area means we are always nearby when you need us.
Our truck comes fully loaded with all the specialized ventilation gear and materials required for a perfect finish.
You do not have to worry about shipping delays or missing parts because we bring everything along.
To ensure a lifetime of daily use, we use industrial-strength silane coupling agents.
These molecular bridge builders chemically fuse the new synthetic enamel to your old cast iron or fiberglass.
This prevents moisture from sneaking underneath the layer, which is the main cause of bubbling.
As a result of this tight bond, cleaning your bathroom becomes an absolute breeze.
You can say goodbye to scrubbing moldy grout lines and harsh chemical fumes during chore day.
A simple wipe down with mild soap keeps the restored surface looking brand new.
Since we use strong professional compounds, we take home safety incredibly seriously.
Our technicians install heavy-duty exhaust fans to pull all odors and overspray safely out of your windows.
This keeps your indoor air clean and ensures your family stays comfortable throughout the day.
Once the curing process finishes, the materials become completely inert and safe for kids and pets.
You can hop into your fresh, inviting tub just twenty-four hours after we pack up our tools.
This rapid turnaround time is perfect for busy households with only one shared bathroom.
To keep that brilliant shine looking fresh, you should avoid abrasive scouring powders.
Harsh scrubbers like steel wool or bleach will slowly dull the glossy topcoat over time.
Instead, use gentle liquid cleaners and soft microfiber cloths to preserve the protective barrier.
Another great tip is to repair leaky faucets quickly so water does not drip constantly in one spot.
Consistent mineral buildup from dripping water can eventually stain even the toughest finishes.
Taking care of small leaks protects your investment and keeps your utility bills low too.
Lastly, try to avoid leaving wet shampoo bottles or heavy metal cans directly on the ledges.
Using a hanging shower caddy prevents rust rings and soapy buildup from forming on the corners.
These simple habits ensure your beautiful bath remains a relaxing oasis 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 Selawik, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
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.
