A dull or chipped tub in Strathmore 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.
That ugly, stained bathroom fixture probably makes you cringe every single time you walk in there to brush your teeth. Instead of ripping out your entire wall and spending thousands of dollars on a messy remodel, you can actually choose a much smarter path today. Getting a professional surface restoration done on your worn-out tub will save you a massive headache and keep your hard-earned cash right in your pocket.
Our friendly local team loves helping folks transform their old, dingy bathrooms into beautiful spaces they can actually show off to guests. We come right to your home, check out the situation, and give you a completely free estimate so you know exactly what to expect. This simple choice gives you a gorgeous, shiny wash basin that looks brand new without the week-long construction mess.
Let us face the facts about old fiberglass and cast iron because they just do not hold up forever. Over the years, harsh chemical cleaners scratch up the top protective glaze, which leaves the surface feeling rough like sandpaper. Once that happens, dirt and stubborn soap scum lock themselves into those tiny pores, making it almost impossible to scrub clean no matter how hard you try.
This budget-friendly process is not just a quick coat of cheap paint from the local hardware store down the road. Actually, we use a highly specialized chemical bonding agent that fuses a durable new acrylic coating directly onto your existing fixture. This means you get a super glossy, incredibly smooth finish that looks identical to a brand new porcelain installation.
First, we meticulously clean the entire area with industrial-strength prep solutions to strip away decades of old oils and soap residue. After that, we carefully repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks so the foundation is totally perfect. Finally, our skilled technicians spray on multiple layers of premium topcoat, which cures into a rock-hard shield that resists stains for many years to come.
| Feature of the Service | Direct Benefit to You | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| No demolition needed | Avoids dusty mess and saves your drywall | Zero downtime |
| Advanced bonding agents | Prevents peeling and ensures long-lasting shine | Applied in minutes |
| High-gloss protective topcoat | Super easy to wipe clean with mild soap | Cures in 24 hours |
Because we do all the prep work ourselves, you do not have to worry about a single detail. Which means you can just sit back, relax, and let our crew handle the dusty part of the job. On top of that, your shiny new surface will actually repel water, so you will spend way less time on your knees scrubbing the bathroom on the weekends.
Living in this beautiful agricultural heartland means we appreciate honest hard work and smart financial decisions. With a local median household income of around $26,250, spending five grand on a contractor to tear up your plumbing just does not make sense. Our affordable service fits perfectly into tight budgets while delivering a high-end look that elevates your entire home value.
If you reside in the cozy community of Strathmore, California, you know how hard water can build up on your fixtures over time. This mineral-rich water leaves nasty orange and brown stains that ruin the look of your entire bathroom. Fortunately, our special industrial coatings are highly resistant to these tough local minerals, keeping your wash area looking incredibly bright and clean.
Many of the 2,915 residents living in the 93267 ZIP code area own older homes with classic, heavy cast iron tubs. Tearing those beasts out requires breaking walls, hiring expensive plumbers, and risking major damage to your floors. By choosing our on-site spraying method, you preserve that vintage charm and character while upgrading the surface to modern standards of cleanliness.
To begin, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheets and set up a powerful ventilation system. This heavy-duty fan sucks out all the chemical fumes and dust, keeping the air in your home clean and safe. Next, we apply a specialized acid etch that microscopically roughens the old porcelain so our new materials can grab hold tight.
Then, we patch up all those annoying dings and deep scratches using a waterproof polyester filler. Once we sand that smooth, we spray on our proprietary molecular bonding primer, which acts like superglue between the old tub and the new finish. After that, we apply several coats of our premium aliphatic polyurethane, creating a thick, luxurious shield that feels amazing to the touch.
This entire transformation takes only a few hours from start to finish, unlike a traditional remodel that drags on for weeks. By the next day, the brand-new glaze is fully cured and ready for you to enjoy a relaxing soak. Now, you can finally take pride in your bathroom again without feeling embarrassed when family members come over to visit.
Taking care of your newly finished basin is actually incredibly easy and requires almost no physical effort. You must absolutely avoid abrasive cleaners like Ajax, Comet, or steel wool pads, as they will dull the shiny finish over time. Instead, simply use a soft sponge along with a mild liquid dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner after you bathe.
Regular wiping prevents soap scum from building up and keeps that beautiful wet-look shine glowing. If you have leaky faucets, you should get them fixed quickly because constant dripping can eventually wear down even the strongest industrial coatings. Following these simple steps ensures your gorgeous bathroom makeover stays looking fresh and clean for up to a decade.
We stand firmly behind the quality of our work, which is why we use the absolute best materials available on the market. Our local technicians take their time on every single home, treating your property with the utmost respect and care. We clean up after ourselves completely, leaving your home just as tidy as we found it, but with a major upgrade.

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 Strathmore, 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.
