A dull or chipped tub in Smithville 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.

Many folks do not realize that you do not actually have to throw away a structurally sound fixture. Over the years, the original factory glaze wears thin and becomes porous, which allows dirt and soap scum to move in permanently. Our specialized chemical process works by stripping away that old, damaged outer layer first. Next, we repair any deep chips or scratches that have been bothering you for years.
Once the surface is perfectly smooth, we apply a high-tech bonding agent. This proprietary primer acts like superglue between the old material and our new protective liquid acrylic coating. Finally, we spray on several coats of a premium topcoat that cures into a rock-hard finish. The result is a brilliant, high-gloss shine that looks exactly like a brand-new installation from a showroom.
This whole procedure takes only a fraction of the time that traditional remodeling requires. You avoid having noisy contractors tramping through your hallways for weeks on end. Plus, you can start using your beautiful, refreshed wash basin again in just a couple of days. It is truly the ultimate home improvement hack for budget-conscious homeowners.
Let us look at the actual numbers because they might surprise you. Replacing a fixture means paying for a plumber, a tiler, and waste disposal fees. The final bill can easily climb into thousands of hard-earned dollars before you know it. Our on-site service costs only a small fraction of that total amount.
To help you see the difference clearly, we put together a quick comparison table:
| Factor to Consider | Full Replacement Job | Our Specialized Coating Service |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | One to two weeks of chaos | Finished in under five hours |
| Mess and Dust Level | Extremely high demolition dust | Virtually none left behind |
| Total Financial Cost | Very expensive for budgets | Highly affordable for families |
Choosing our method keeps extra money in your wallet for other important things. You get to bypass the headaches of permit applications and scheduling multiple trade workers. We keep things incredibly simple, neat, and highly efficient from start to finish.
You might wonder how durable this new surface actually is over the long run. When applied correctly by a trained hand, our coatings can easily last up to fifteen years. The secret lies in using premium materials instead of cheap DIY kits from the local hardware store. Those cheap hardware store paint kits almost always peel off within a few months.
Our professional-grade compounds form a chemical bond rather than just sitting on top of the old porcelain. This means the new layer will not crack, bubble, or lift when subjected to hot bathwater. To keep it looking gorgeous, you just need to avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners like bleach or scrubbing powders. A simple wipe down with a mild liquid soap keeps that brilliant shine alive for a decade.
We are incredibly proud to serve our neighbors throughout this beautiful region of Wyandot County. Many properties in our area feature classic, well-built homes that have beautiful older bones. Preserving those original cast iron fixtures is often much better than installing cheap modern plastic replacements. Our service helps you keep that historic charm while enjoying a clean, modern aesthetic.

You will not have to worry about chemical odors lingering in your living spaces either. We use advanced exhaust systems to pull any fumes safely out of your home during the application.
It is very tempting to grab a cheap box of paint at the store and try to do this yourself over the weekend. However, those kits lack the industrial bonding agents that make the finish stick permanently. Without professional etching acids, the new paint cannot grip the slick porcelain underneath. You end up with a peeling, sticky mess that looks far worse than when you started.

Save yourself the immense frustration and physical backache by letting us handle it correctly the first time. We have the proper safety gear, professional spray guns, and years of hands-on experience. We get the job done right, and we back our work with a solid warranty for your peace of mind.

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 Smithville, 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.
