A dull or chipped tub in Tecumseh 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.

Most folks think they need a sledgehammer when their washing tub starts looking dingy. But actually, the structure of your heavy cast iron or steel tub is probably still in great shape. Our special process focuses on rebuilding that top layer of acrylic urethane coating right where it sits.
First, we strip away all the old soap scum, body oils, and ancient sealants. Then, we repair any deep chips or cracks using a heavy-duty polyester filler. This preparation work ensures the new finish bonds perfectly to the original substrate.
After we prep the area, we use a professional spray system to apply an incredibly strong bonding agent. Consequently, this chemical bridge fuses the old surface with our premium high-gloss topcoat. The final result mimics the look of expensive fired porcelain at a fraction of the cost.
| Feature of Resurfacing | Real Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| No demolition required | Saves you from giant messes and loud construction noise |
| Specialized bonding primers | Prevents peeling and ensures your investment lasts for years |
| Completed in 4 to 5 hours | You get your bathroom back in service by the very next day |
| Custom color matching | Allows you to match your existing sink or toilet perfectly |
As you can see, this method is highly efficient and keeps waste out of our local landfills. Why throw away a solid, American-made vintage fixture when it just needs a face lift? We love helping homeowners in Tecumseh, Nebraska, save money while upgrading their daily lives.
Maybe you have seen those cheap DIY kits at the big box store and thought about trying it yourself. Honestly, those roll-on epoxy paints usually start peeling off within a few months. Our industrial-grade materials require professional ventilation systems and precise spraying techniques that you just cannot get in a box.
Because we live and work right here in this beautiful community of 1,794 residents, we care about doing the job right. We know the local water conditions and how they affect bathroom surfaces over time. This local knowledge helps us mix our materials perfectly for the highest durability possible.
Indeed, our team takes great pride in treating your home with the utmost respect. We mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to catch every bit of overspray. This careful setup guarantees that only your worn-out wash basin gets the shiny new upgrade.
On top of that, our finishes are incredibly easy to clean once we are done. You can throw away those abrasive scrubbing powders that scratch up your fixtures. A simple wipe with a mild dish soap and a soft sponge keeps everything gleaming like a mirror.
Let us look at the real numbers because nobody likes wasting hard-earned cash. The median household income in our area is around $43,350, so we know the value of a dollar. Replacing a built-in tub can easily cost thousands once you pay for plumbers, tile setters, and trash haulers.
By choosing our specialized restoration service, you keep those extra dollars in your pocket. You avoid the hidden costs of replacing broken wall tiles and correcting old plumbing behind the drywall. This budget-friendly alternative lets you upgrade your home value without taking out a second mortgage.
Older homes in the 68450 ZIP code often feature beautiful, deep soaking basins that are impossible to find today. Our restoration process preserves these gorgeous vintage pieces while removing decades of stains. We bring back that classic style and luxurious depth that modern plastic replacements simply cannot match.
Whether you have an antique clawfoot model or a standard recessed alcove unit, we handle them all. We use top-tier primers that adapt to both cast iron and pressed steel. This versatility means you get a uniform, high-end look regardless of how old your bathroom is.
First, our friendly technician will arrive on time and walk you through the entire step-by-step process. We always start by inspecting your fixture to identify any hidden structural issues or soft spots. This open communication ensures there are no surprises or hidden fees at the end of the day.
Next, we set up our commercial exhaust fan to pull all the fumes out through the nearest window. This step is crucial because professional coatings have a very strong odor during the curing process. We keep your indoor air clean and safe while we work our magic.
Once the workspace is secure, we apply our acid-etching solution to create microscopic pores in the old porcelain. This step is like sanding wood before painting, giving our primers a rough texture to grab onto. After neutralising the acid, we spray multiple layers of our high-tech acrylic glaze.
Finally, we clean up our gear and leave your bathroom looking spotless. We will explain how to care for your new surface so it stays bright and beautiful for up to fifteen years. You just have to wait about twenty-four hours before taking your first long, relaxing soak!
Now, you do not have to live with an embarrassing, stained bathroom anymore. You can finally stop hiding your tub behind a thick shower curtain when guests come over. Our affordable restoration service gives you the ultimate combination of beauty and durability.
Which is why we invite you to reach out to our local team today for a completely free price quote. We will visit your home, evaluate your fixture, and give you an honest assessment. Let us transform your bathroom into a clean space of comfort and style without the high cost of remodeling!
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 Tecumseh, 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.
