In Sunnyside, Wichita, the Wichita technician we send repairs, sprays and caulks your tub where it stands.
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.
You probably stare at that stained, chipped, or outdated basin every single morning. Dealing with such a mess usually makes your whole day start off on the wrong foot because nobody wants to soak in a tub that looks like it belongs in a horror movie.
Getting a fresh start for your primary washing area does not have to mean a full demolition or expensive renovation. You can totally change the vibe of your space without ripping out pipes or dealing with weeks of construction noise.
Basically, you are looking at a specialized chemical bonding process that applies a brand new, high-gloss finish directly over your existing tub. This technique fills in those nasty cracks and hides the stubborn rust stains that refuse to budge no matter how hard you scrub.
Instead of spending thousands on a new cast iron or fiberglass insert, this affordable solution gives you a brand new look for a fraction of the cost. Since you keep the original structure, you avoid the headache of plumbing work and messy tile repairs.
Sunnyside sits right in the heart of Wichita, Kansas, where homeowners value keeping things tidy without breaking the bank. Because this part of the country sees a wide range of weather, your home materials expand and contract, which eventually ruins older finishes.
With a median household income that keeps families focused on smart spending, choosing a quick fix over a total bathroom overhaul just makes sense. You save your hard-earned money for other home projects while still getting that feeling of total relaxation during your evening bath.
First, the crew cleans the surface with industrial solvents to strip away soap scum, oils, and old sealants. This ensures that the new coating sticks like glue, giving you a smooth and durable finish that lasts for years.
Then, they mask off all the surrounding tiles and fixtures to prevent any overspray from hitting your beautiful walls. This level of detail protects your home while they apply the specialized resins that turn your dull tub into a shiny, pristine centerpiece.
Because you live in the ZIP codes near the city center, getting a local pro to swing by for a quick assessment is super easy. They understand the specific water issues in this part of Kansas, which helps them pick the right products for your specific needs.
Having a pro handle the ventilation and chemical handling means you stay safe from fumes and dust. They bring all the professional spray gear and proper safety equipment to ensure the job gets done right the first time around.
| Feature | Surface Renewal | Full Replacement | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Very Budget Friendly | Extremely Expensive | |
| Time Required | Less than a day | Several Days or Weeks | |
| Mess Level | Minimal Dust | Significant Construction | |
| Quality | Shiny and New | Brand New Unit |
As you can see, the path toward a beautiful bathroom is much shorter than you might have originally thought. You avoid the stress of picking out new plumbing fixtures or worrying about whether the new unit will fit your current floor layout.
Everything feels much better when you decide to go with the route that maximizes your budget while providing an immediate boost to your home value. Plus, you get to skip the demolition crews trampling through your living room during the work week.
Starting this project is as simple as reaching out for a free estimate from someone who knows the trade inside and out. They will come to your door, look at the condition of your basin, and tell you exactly what to expect.
Asking questions is encouraged, so make sure you talk about the colors and finishes available for your specific project. You might even find that you can change the color of your tub to match a new wall paint or updated vanity.
Before the pros arrive, you should clear away all your personal items like shampoos, soaps, and loofahs from the shower area. This gives them a clean workspace and ensures that none of your belongings accidentally get splashed during the spraying phase.
On top of that, making sure the area is dry goes a long way toward speeding up the initial assessment. You want to provide a clear path for the hoses and equipment so the job moves along without any unnecessary delays.
Once the job is finished, you just need to follow a few simple rules to keep that glossy look shining bright. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool pads, as those will scratch the new protective layer over time.
Instead, stick to mild soaps and a soft sponge to keep the surface looking brand new for years. You will find that cleaning becomes much easier because the new finish does not hold onto dirt the way the old, porous surface did.
Putting off home repairs usually results in more damage that costs more money down the road. If those cracks get deeper, you risk water leaking into the floorboards underneath, which causes way more trouble than a simple cosmetic fix.
Taking action today means you stop worrying about the eyesore in your bathroom and start enjoying a clean space. You deserve to feel a sense of ease when you step into your home after a long day of work.
Choosing to invest in your house is a big step, but this particular improvement offers one of the best returns for the money. You get a space that feels refreshed and updated without the typical stress of a massive renovation project.
If you find yourself ready to get that free estimate, simply reach out to the pros who serve the local area. They are ready to guide you through the process and help you reclaim the beauty of your private retreat.

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 Sunnyside, Wichita, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
