A dull or chipped tub in Tolley 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.
Are you tired of staring at that stained and chipped bathing basin in your bathroom? Fortunately, you can get a brand new look without spending a fortune.
That little town with twenty-five friendly souls sitting right inside Renville County deserves gorgeous homes too. Thankfully, our local crew brings top-notch restoration straight to your doorstep.
Most folks think buying a brand-new tub is the only way to fix a gross old basin. However, that requires ripping out walls and paying thousands of dollars for plumbing work.
Instead, this clever chemical bonding process sprays a durable acrylic coating directly over your existing unit. This lets you save loads of cash while skipping days of loud construction mess.
Plus, your newly minted basin will shine like a brand-new diamond. Which means you can impress your guests without breaking a sweat.
Living out in the 58787 area code means you appreciate neighbors who actually show up when they promise. Therefore, our crew drives right out to your property to handle everything on site.
Admittedly, winters up here get freezing cold and summers bring wild temperature swings. Consequently, our industrial-grade resins expand and contract seamlessly without cracking under pressure.
Meanwhile, you keep your hard-earned money right where it belongs. That way, you can enjoy local life without financial stress.
Wondering how a grungy tub transforms into a gorgeous masterpiece in just one day? Well, the process starts with a deep chemical scrub to remove years of stubborn soap scum.
Afterwards, our technicians carefully repair any nasty chips or deep cracks using heavy-duty fillers. This gives you a perfectly smooth foundation for the fresh topcoat.
Next comes the actual spraying phase where specialized bonding agents lock the new finish into place. This lets your tub resist mold and mildew for many years to come.
Before any painting starts, we tape off your tiles and floors to protect your entire bathroom. This prevents any accidental overspray from ruining your favorite tiles.
Additionally, powerful exhaust fans pull all the chemical fumes straight out of your window. Which means your indoor air stays clean and safe while we work.
Naturally, this meticulous attention to detail prevents peeling down the road. That guarantees a stunning finish that lasts through daily family use.
Once the spraying finishes, the new acrylic layer needs a little bit of time to harden completely. Usually, waiting twenty-four hours before your first bath does the trick.
During this curing window, keep all water faucets completely dry and avoid touching the fresh walls. This lets the molecular bonds lock in maximum strength.
Eventually, you can fill that basin up and enjoy a relaxing soak in absolute luxury. That gives your daily routine a much-needed upgrade.
People often wonder if fixing up an old basin actually beats buying a fresh one from the store. To help you decide, let us look at some hard facts and figures.
| Comparison Factor | Total Fixture Replacement | On-Site Surface Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | One to Two Weeks | Just One Single Day |
| Estimated Financial Cost | Extremely High Expenses | Very Budget Friendly |
| Plumbing Demo Mess | Severe Wall and Floor Damage | Zero Structural Destruction |
Clearly, keeping your original plumbing intact saves you from unnecessary headaches and flying drywall dust. Therefore, most homeowners choose the smart route every single time.
Hardware stores love selling cheap brush-on kits to unsuspecting homeowners looking for a quick fix. However, those DIY paints usually bubble up and peel off within a few months.
Professional sprayers use commercial-grade polyurethane coatings that require professional ventilation and specialized spray guns. This lets you get a factory-smooth finish that store-bought cans simply cannot match.
On top of that, mistakes with acid etching can ruin your drain permanently. Which means hiring a pro actually protects your investment from costly blunders.
Home improvements usually drain your bank account faster than a popped tire on a gravel road. Fortunately, renewing your worn porcelain costs a fraction of a full bathroom remodel.
Because you avoid demolition labor fees, your overall project total drops dramatically. That leaves plenty of extra cash in your pocket for other home upgrades.
Even better, a gleaming tub instantly boosts your overall home appraisal value. Which means you win big whether you stay put or sell later.
Taking care of your newly coated bathing unit is actually remarkably simple and straightforward. Just use mild liquid dish soap and a soft sponge during your weekly cleanings.
Never use harsh abrasive scouring powders or metal scrub pads on the glossy acrylic surface. This prevents microscopic scratches from dulling that gorgeous shine.
Following these simple guidelines lets your tub look brand new for over a decade. That represents incredible value for your hard-earned money.
Landfills around North Dakota are already way too full of discarded construction waste and heavy cast iron. By keeping your current basin, you keep tons of heavy metal out of local dumps.
Manufacturing a brand new porcelain tub requires massive amounts of factory energy and fossil fuels. Conversely, spraying your existing unit uses a tiny fraction of those resources.
Ultimately, making an eco-friendly choice helps keep our prairies clean for future generations. That lets you feel great about your home improvement choices.
Decades of mineral-heavy well water can leave ugly orange rings around your drain and faucets. Thankfully, our restoration primer seals away those ugly stains forever.
Once the fresh acrylic shield is in place, those minerals cannot penetrate the smooth surface anymore. Which means scrubbing for hours becomes a thing of the past.
Instead, a quick wipe down keeps everything sparkling clean with minimal effort on your part.
Now that you know how easy and affordable surface renewal really is, why wait another day? You deserve a gorgeous bathroom that makes you smile every morning.

Let us help you make your bathroom shine brighter than ever before.
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 Tolley, 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.

The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
