A dull or chipped tub in Skandia 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 bath basin every single morning? Well, replacing it costs a fortune and tears up your whole bathroom. Fortunately, we can spray a fresh coat right over the old surface for a fraction of the usual cash.
Consequently, you save thousands of dollars while getting a brand new look in just one afternoon. But maybe you wonder how this magic trick actually works in real life. Therefore, let us dive into the messy details of our local trade.
First off, our crew scrubs your old acrylic or cast iron basin until it shines like new. Then, we apply powerful chemical bonding agents to make sure the fresh material sticks tightly. Because skipping this step leads to peeling paint later, we never rush the prep work.
Eventually, your tub gets completely dry before any spraying begins in your house. Meanwhile, you can relax in another room while we handle all the heavy lifting.
Next comes the fun part where we spray specialized polymers across the worn porcelain. This lets you enjoy a smooth texture without dealing with dangerous chemical fumes. Furthermore, our team uses industrial ventilation fans to keep your indoor air totally safe.
By doing this, you avoid buying a brand new fixture from the hardware store. Instead, you get a gorgeous finish that lasts for many years to come.
Winters around here get brutally cold and dry out your home materials fast. Yet our tough coatings handle temperature swings without cracking under pressure. Because our little town only has about 907 residents, we treat every single neighbor like family.
Naturally, you want someone reliable working inside your bathroom space. That is why our local technicians always show up on time with a smile.
Median household incomes vary across Marquette County, so saving money matters to hardworking families. Consequently, restoring your existing bath setup beats demolition every single day of the week. Besides, who wants to deal with weeks of construction dust floating around their house?
Instead, you get a pristine soaking area without breaking your personal bank account. On top of that, your property value gets an instant boost.
Many homeowners struggle when choosing between buying a brand new basin or calling us for a quick fix. Therefore, studying this handy comparison table helps you make the smartest financial decision.
| Option | Average Cost | Time Required | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Thousands of Dollars | Several Weeks | Extreme Destruction |
| Our Resurfacing Service | Very Affordable | One Afternoon | Zero Mess |
Clearly, keeping your original tub structure saves you from endless plumbing headaches and drywall repairs. Thus, smart homeowners always pick the faster and cleaner route.
Did you know that abrasive scouring powders actually ruin your factory finish over time? Instead, you should wash your newly sprayed basin with mild dish soap and a soft sponge. Because rough pads scratch the gloss, gentle cleaning extends the life of your investment.
By following this simple rule, you prevent premature wear and tear on your investment.
Small cracks let water seep underneath the surface and cause nasty mold growth to spread. However, you can call us right away to patch those tiny spots before they worsen. This keeps your washing area sanitary for everyone in your household.
Therefore, staying proactive saves you from expensive emergency repairs down the road.
Last week, we helped a nice couple living right near the local township hall. Their vintage clawfoot basin had deep rust stains that refused to come out with bleach. Fortunately, our specialized spraying technique turned that eyesore into a stunning centerpiece.
Now, they enjoy relaxing evening soaks without feeling embarrassed by ugly discoloration.
Hard water leaves mineral deposits that eat away at old enamel over the years. Yet our specialized etching liquids dissolve those stubborn rings in mere minutes. Because we train our workers rigorously, every job gets done right the first time.
Consequently, you never have to worry about sloppy work or missed spots on your basin.
Taking care of your newly coated tub takes very little effort on your busy weekends. Simply wipe down the sides after each bath to prevent soap scum buildup. Since our polymers resist mold, you spend less time scrubbing and more time relaxing.
This lets you maintain a gorgeous shine with almost zero daily hassle.
Spring and summer bring nice weather for opening windows during the spraying process. Nevertheless, our ventilation systems work great during any month of the year. So you can schedule your upgrade whenever it fits your personal calendar best.
Waiting too long only lets existing damage spread further across the porcelain.

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 Skandia, 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.

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.
