A dull or chipped tub in Sheridan 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.
You can easily transform your worn bathroom fixture today without spending thousands of dollars on a messy replacement. Our skilled local team comes directly to your home to restore that dull, chipped surface to a beautiful, glossy shine. By choosing this smart updating method, you save tons of time and keep your sanity intact.
This budget-friendly process breathes fresh life into tired cast iron or fiberglass basins. Because we focus on surface restoration, you avoid the headache of tearing out walls or hiring expensive plumbers. Honestly, it is the best-kept secret for homeowners who want a fast, gorgeous upgrade.
When you start looking at the real cost of putting in a brand-new tub, the numbers get scary fast. First, you have to pay someone to rip out the old one, which usually damages your floor tiles and drywall. Then, you must buy the new unit and pay a plumber to hook it all up. This whole ordeal can easily drag on for a week or more, leaving you without a place to wash up.
Our specialized restoration process takes care of everything in just a single day. We apply a high-performance polyurethane coating that bonds directly to your existing fixture on a molecular level. This means you get a gorgeous, glassy look that feels incredibly smooth to the touch. Plus, you can use your shower again in just a couple of days, which keeps your daily routine running smoothly.
To help you see the difference, we put together a quick comparison table below.
| Project Factor | Our Restoration Service | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Typical Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden fees |
| Time to Complete | Finished in a few hours | Can take several days or weeks |
| Mess and Dust | Virtually none, we clean up fully | Major demolition dust and debris |
| Lifespan | Lasts for many years with proper care | Long-lasting but requires construction |
This handy chart shows how much hassle you actually save. By opting for a surface renew, you keep hard-earned money in your pocket. On top of that, you do not have to deal with noisy contractors tracking mud through your hallways for a week.
First, we scrub the old surface with industrial strength cleaners to remove every speck of soap scum, body oil, and mineral deposits. After that, we apply a special acid etching agent to create microscopic pores in the original glaze. This step is super important because it ensures the new finish sticks like glue. Without this prep work, the new layer would just peel off in a matter of months.
Next, we carefully repair any deep scratches, rust spots, or ugly chips with a waterproof polyester filler. Once we sand those patches flat, the entire basin looks completely smooth and uniform. This meticulous attention to detail is what separates a professional job from a cheap DIY kit that looks runny and uneven.
Now, we spray on a proprietary molecular bonding agent that acts as an anchor between the old tub and the new finish. Following that, we use professional spray equipment to apply multiple layers of a high-tech acrylic topcoat. This specialized spray technique ensures a perfectly even, drip-free application that looks just like brand-new porcelain. You get a deep, luxurious shine that completely transforms the vibe of your entire bathroom.
Finally, we let the new surface cure completely so it hardens into a durable, impact-resistant shield. This curing process is crucial because it seals out moisture and prevents future staining. Which means you spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemicals.

Living in this beautiful part of Sheridan, Missouri, means helping each other out and doing honest work. We treat your home with the same respect we would show to our own grandmother's house. This means we mask off your floors, protect your walls, and use exhaust fans to keep odors out of your living space.
To enjoy your shiny new finish for a long time, you just need to follow a few simple maintenance rules. First, you must throw away those abrasive scrubbing powders and steel wool pads that scratch up shiny surfaces. Instead, use mild dish soap or a gentle liquid cleaner along with a soft microfiber cloth or sponge. This simple habit protects the gloss and keeps the surface looking brand new without any extra effort.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet washcloths or heavy shampoo bottles sitting directly on the rim. Over time, trapped water under these items can weaken the bond and cause premature wear. Simply putting a hanging organizer in your shower solves this issue completely and keeps your space looking neat.
Lastly, make sure you fix any leaky faucets as soon as you notice them dripping. Constant water dripping in the exact same spot will eventually erode even the toughest finishes. By taking care of small leaks early, you protect your bathroom investment and save money on your monthly water bill too.

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 Sheridan, 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.
