A dull or chipped tub in Thurston 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 basin in your bathroom probably makes you shudder every single morning. Fortunately, you can completely transform your washroom without tearing out the plumbing. Our local team specializes in giving worn-out, chipped tub surfaces a shiny new finish right in your home.
This budget-friendly option saves you thousands of dollars compared to a messy remodel. By choosing to restore your existing fixture, you avoid the headache of dealing with dusty drywall and broken tiles. We come straight to your doorstep in Thurston County to make your old tub look brand new again.
You do not have to live with that outdated, scratchy green or pink surface any longer. Our proven process coats your current setup with a durable, high-gloss protective layer that looks incredibly slick. Best of all, we offer a free estimate so you can plan your budget without any surprises.
First, we meticulously clean the old porcelain or fiberglass to remove decades of soap scum and body oils. This preparation step is actually the most important part of the entire job because the new coating needs a perfectly clean surface to stick to. If anyone skips this phase, the new finish will peel off in a matter of weeks.
Next, we repair any deep scratches, rust spots, or chips using a specialized waterproof filler. This step ensures that the final surface is completely flat and smooth to the touch. Once the repairs cure, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old material and the new coat.
Finally, we spray several layers of a high-tech acrylic polymer topcoat over the fixture. This advanced material cures into an incredibly tough shell that resists impact and stains. You get a gorgeous, shimmering finish that feels wonderful when you soak after a long day of work.
| Service Step | What We Do | Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Prep | Acid wash and deep cleaning | Prevents peeling and ensures longevity |
| Damage Repair | Fill chips, cracks, and rust spots | Creates a perfectly smooth surface |
| Bonding Agent | Apply industrial chemical anchor | Fuses the new coating to the old tub |
| Topcoat Spraying | Multiple coats of acrylic polymer | Delivers a brilliant, easy-to-clean shine |
Think about the sheer nightmare of ripping out a heavy cast iron tub from your bathroom. You would have to break the surrounding wall tile, widen the doorway, and hire an expensive plumber to redo the pipes. Our on-site spray application bypasses all of that chaos and keeps your bathroom fully intact.
Which means you save a massive amount of time because our entire process takes only a few hours. You can usually use your freshly coated shower again the very next day. This rapid turnaround is perfect for busy households with only one main bathroom to share.
On top of that, your wallet will thank you because our surface restoration costs a fraction of a full remodel. You get to keep the character of your classic home while upgrading its overall cleanliness. It is a smart, common-sense upgrade that instantly boosts your home satisfaction.
Naturally, you might wonder how long this glossy new finish will actually last under daily use. With proper care and basic maintenance, your restored wash basin can easily look fantastic for over a decade. The secret lies in avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners that scratch the shiny topcoat over time.
Instead, you should use mild dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner to keep the surface sparkling. Since the new non-porous layer resists dirt, grime washes away with minimal scrubbing effort. This makes your weekly cleaning chores much faster and far less painful.
We also advise against using suction-cup bath mats because they can pull at the newly bonded material. We can apply a permanent slip-resistant texture to the bottom of the tub during our process if you desire. This safety feature protects your family from slips without damaging the beautiful finish.

If your tub is structurally sound but looks dull, yellowed, or outdated, you are the perfect candidate for this service. We work on a wide variety of materials, including classic cast iron, pressed steel, and modern fiberglass units. Even if your enclosure has ugly tile walls, we can coat those to match the tub for a uniform look.
However, if your tub has giant holes rusted completely through the metal, restoration might not be enough. We always inspect your fixture thoroughly beforehand to ensure it is a good candidate for our bonding process.

Fortunately, most tubs we encounter only suffer from cosmetic wear, hard water stains, and minor surface rust. These common issues disappear completely under our thick, protective polymer coatings. You will be amazed at how a simple surface renewal transforms the entire atmosphere of your bathroom.

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 Thurston, 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.
