A dull or chipped tub in Soldier 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.
Maybe you recently looked at your bathroom and felt a sudden wave of absolute despair.
That old tub looks like it survived a war because the surface is dull, stained, and completely rough.
Fortunately, our local team can refresh that worn-out fixture without the massive mess of a full remodel.
Actually, you do not have to rip out your walls or spend your entire savings.
Instead, we apply a high-tech liquid coating that bonds directly to your old porcelain or fiberglass.
This process makes the surface incredibly shiny and smooth again, which means you get a fresh look for a fraction of the cost.
Naturally, we want to help you fall in love with your home again without any unnecessary stress.
Which is why we offer a completely free estimate right at your doorstep to inspect the damage.
We bring all the professional equipment directly to your home and explain every step of the transformation.
First, we clean the existing basin with heavy-duty industrial cleaners to remove decades of soap scum.
This critical step strips away body oils, hard water deposits, and old silicon caulk.
If we skip this deep clean, the new materials will simply fail to stick properly to the old structure.
Following that thorough washing, we carefully patch any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks.
We use specialized polyester resins that fill in the gaps and dry incredibly fast.
This careful prep work ensures the final finish looks completely flat and beautiful.
Next, we spray a molecular bonding agent that acts like a super glue for the final liquid acrylic.
After that agent cures, we apply several coats of a premium topcoat using a professional spray gun.
This creates a gorgeous, durable barrier that looks exactly like a brand-new fixture from a showroom.
To give you a better idea of how this compares to traditional replacement, check out this simple breakdown:
| Comparison Factor | Our Specialized Refinishing Process | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Cost | Highly affordable, usually a few hundred dollars | Thousands of dollars for labor and plumbing |
| Total Time Required | Completed in just a single afternoon | Several days or weeks of loud construction |
| Mess and Dust Level | Very minimal, we mask off the entire room | Extremely high, plaster dust everywhere |
| Lifespan of Surface | Up to ten to fifteen years with basic care | Long-term, but requires constant maintenance |

We arrive on time, protect your floors, and clean up every single speck of dust before we leave.
This level of care ensures you experience zero stress during the quick transformation.
Think about the sheer nightmare of hiring a plumber to tear out a heavy cast iron tub.
They often have to break the old unit into pieces with a sledgehammer, which can damage your walls.
Our convenient service avoids all that violence and keeps your bathroom structural integrity completely intact.
On top of that, you get to customize the exact color of your new glossy finish.
While most folks choose a classic, bright white, we can also spray modern biscuit or almond tones.
This freedom lets you match your existing tile work perfectly without buying new wall surrounds.
Additionally, the new non-porous layer makes cleaning your bathroom absolute child play.
Dirt and grime cannot find a grip on the super smooth, glass-like acrylic coating.
You simply wipe it down with a mild soap and a soft sponge to keep it looking perfect.
Once we pack up our gear, you must let the new surface cure for a day or two.
Using the fixture too early can ruin the finish and cause premature peeling or bubbling.
We give you clear, simple instructions so you know exactly when it is safe to splash around.
To maintain that brilliant luster, avoid using abrasive bleach powders or rough scrubbing pads.
These harsh chemical cleaners will scratch the delicate topcoat over time and make it look dull again.
Stick to gentle dish soaps or specialized spray cleaners to keep that shine alive for a decade.
When you contact us, we schedule a quick visit to inspect the condition of your washbasin.
We look for deep structural cracks, failing previous coatings, or rusty drain areas that need extra love.
This assessment allows us to give you an accurate, fixed price with zero hidden fees or surprises.
During the actual application, we set up a powerful exhaust fan in your window to pull out fumes.
We mask off every square inch of your vanity, toilet, and floor with thick paper and tape.
This keeps the overspray completely contained so your home remains spotless.
After we apply the final shiny topcoat, we carefully remove all our protective tape and paper.
We inspect our work under bright lights to ensure there are no runs, dust particles, or uneven spots.
You are left with a dazzling, glassy basin that completely changes the vibe of your entire bathroom.
Do not spend another day squinting at those ugly stains and worn-out, rough surfaces.
You deserve a clean, sparkling space where you can unwind after a long day of hard work.

Take action now and let us make your old tub look brand-new again!
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 Soldier, 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.
