A dull or chipped tub in Stonefort 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 think they need to rip out their entire setup when the color looks like a bad dream from the seventies. Actually, our specialized process coats your existing cast iron or fiberglass with a super durable, high-tech acrylic polymer. This advanced material bonds at a molecular level to create a smooth, ultra-glossy protective shell. Consequently, your old, dull basin looks exactly like it just came straight from the factory showroom.
This clever technique saves you from the nightmare of hiring expensive plumbers who might accidentally break your vintage tiles. On top of that, we seal all those microscopic pores where nasty soap scum and mold love to hide. As a result, you spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemicals. You simply wipe it down with a soft sponge and mild soap to keep it looking pristine.
To help you understand how this compares to other options, we put together a handy little guide:
| Project Factor | Our Specialized Coating Method | Total Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden fees |
| Time to Complete | Usually finished in just a single day | Can drag on for weeks or months |
| Mess and Dust | Virtually none, we clean up completely | Heavy plaster dust and plaster debris |
| Lifespan | Lasts for many years with basic care | Long-lasting but requires major labor |
Living in a cozy, close-knit community in Saline County means word travels fast if you do a bad job. Because of this, we treat every single home with the utmost respect and attention to detail. We proudly serve our neighbors in this lovely pocket of southern Illinois, where the local population sits at a quiet 346 residents. Since the median household income here is around $30,417, we know how vital it is to get real, honest value for every dollar you spend.
Whether you reside right in the heart of the 62987 ZIP code or just down the road, our truck comes fully loaded with top-grade equipment. We do not believe in cutting corners or using cheap DIY kits that peel off after three hot showers. Instead, we use commercial-grade bonding agents that hold up against daily wear and tear. This ensures your investment stands the test of time while keeping your hard-earned money in your pocket.
Besides saving you heaps of money, our process is incredibly kind to the environment. By choosing to renew instead of replace, you keep heavy, bulky old fixtures out of our local landfills. Which means you can feel great about making an eco-friendly choice for your property. We love helping our community stay beautiful, one sparkling bathroom at a time.
First, we start by meticulously cleaning the entire area to remove decades of soap scum, body oils, and old mineral deposits. This deep preparation step is absolutely critical because the new coating won't stick to a dirty surface. After that, we repair any deep scratches, ugly chips, or rusted spots using specialized filler compounds. This leaves us with a perfectly flat, smooth canvas to work our magic on.
Next, we carefully mask off your floors, walls, and fixtures with protective paper and tape to prevent any overspray. We also set up a heavy-duty exhaust fan system to pull any fumes directly out of your house while we work. Once everything is safe and secure, we apply our proprietary chemical bonding agent. This invisible layer acts like superpowered glue, ensuring the topcoat locks on tight forever.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of our premium acrylic urethane finish using professional high-volume, low-pressure equipment. This advanced tool allows us to achieve an incredibly even, mirror-like shine without any brush strokes or drips. After a short curing period, we remove all our masking materials and leave your space spotless. You just have to wait a little bit before enjoying your first relaxing soak in your gorgeous, renewed tub.
To keep your beautiful finish looking brand new, you should avoid abrasive cleaners like Ajax or Comet. These gritty powders act like sandpaper and will eventually dull the gorgeous shine we worked so hard to create. Instead, we highly recommend using gentle liquid dish soaps or non-abrasive bathroom sprays. This simple routine preserves the brilliant luster for a very long time.
Additionally, you want to make sure you do not leave wet bath mats sitting inside the basin after use. Trapped moisture underneath suction cups can damage the bond over time and cause premature peeling. By simply hanging your mat up to dry, you protect your investment effortlessly. This easy habit guarantees your wash area remains the pride of your home.
Now, you might be wondering how much this convenient upgrade is going to cost you. Luckily, we make finding out incredibly easy and stress-free by offering completely free, no-obligation quotes. We will drive right out to your home, assess your fixture, and give you an honest price right on the spot. This means you do not have to worry about any surprise fees or annoying high-pressure sales tactics.

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 Stonefort, 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
