In Uptown, 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 look at your bathroom every single morning and probably feel a little sigh creeping up when you see that dull, stained basin.
Instead of tearing out your entire bathroom and spending thousands of dollars on noisy demolition, a much smarter alternative exists.
This budget-friendly process breathes brand new life into your worn-out cast iron or acrylic fixture right where it sits.
Indeed, you can completely transform your washroom in just a few hours without dealing with messy drywall dust.
Our local team specializes in applying a durable, high-gloss premium protective coating that makes old surfaces shine like brand new porcelain.
By restoring the original luster of your existing setup, you save precious time and keep heavy debris out of our local landfills.
To get started on this simple upgrade, you can easily request a free estimate from our friendly crew today.
We love helping homeowners fall in love with their homes all over again while keeping hard-earned cash in their pockets.
Check out our breakdown below to see how this simple surface renewal compares to a stressful, costly remodel.
| Project Factor | Surface Refinishing | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable | Extremely expensive |
| Time to Complete | Under 24 hours | Up to several weeks |
| Mess & Dust | Virtually none | Massive demolition dust |
| Durability | Excellent with proper care | High, but requires construction |
When you choose to renew rather than replace, you bypass the headache of hiring plumbers, tile setters, and drywall contractors.
Which means you get to avoid those awkward days of strangers walking through your hallways with heavy tools.
This specialized liquid acrylic bonding process seals up microscopic pores where mold, mildew, and stubborn soap scum love to hide.
On top of that, your old cast iron tub actually holds heat much better than modern, cheap plastic replacements.
Keeping that heavy antique piece in place preserves the classic character of your home while giving you a clean, hygienic bathing space.
You will immediately notice how much easier the smooth, non-porous surface is to wipe down after a long soak.
Perhaps you have tried every harsh chemical cleaner on the market only to find those ugly gray stains remain stuck.
That happens because the original protective factory glaze wore thin over decades of scrubbing with abrasive powders.
Applying a fresh synthetic porcelain layer completely covers those worn areas, creating a brilliant, uniform shield that looks incredibly sharp.
First, we protect your bathroom floors, walls, and vanity using heavy-duty drop cloths and professional painter tape.
Then, our technician uses specialized industrial cleaners to strip away decades of accumulated body oils, soap scum, and old caulk.
This critical step ensures the new materials bond directly to the original substrate instead of sitting on top of old grime.
Next, we carefully repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots using a high-strength waterproof polyester filler.
This meticulous detail work creates a perfectly flat, uniform canvas for the upcoming steps.
Skipping this prep work would cause the final finish to look bumpy, which is why we never cut corners here.
After repairing the surface, we apply a proprietary chemical bonding agent that acts like microscopic anchor hooks.
This advanced primer creates a permanent molecular link between the old porcelain and the new acrylic topcoat.
Without this critical chemical bridge, the new finish would quickly peel off when exposed to hot bathwater.
Following the primer, we use professional HVLP spray equipment to apply multiple layers of a high-tech aliphatic acrylic polyurethane.
This premium material cures into a rock-hard glass-like surface that resists chipping, fading, and yellowing over time.
Once we finish spraying, we set up a dedicated ventilation fan to safely pull any lingering paint odors out of your home.
We absolutely love serving homeowners right here in this charming pocket of the Sunflower State.
Nestled near the heart of the city, this historic neighborhood sits close to beautiful parks and bustling local businesses.
Our service area covers the historic streets of Uptown, Wichita, Kansas (KS), USA, where classic homes boast gorgeous architectural details.
Because many homes in this community were built during prosperous mid-century eras, they feature incredibly sturdy bathroom fixtures.
These vintage items possess a level of craftsmanship that you simply cannot buy in big-box home improvement stores today.
Preserving these historic gems helps maintain the unique character of our neighborhood while boosting local property values.
Whether you live near the local university or closer to the quiet residential blocks, we understand the local housing styles.
We frequently work with families in the local ZIP codes, helping them modernize their spaces on a realistic budget.
Since we do not have to ship heavy materials across state lines, we pass those logistics savings directly onto you.
Once our team completes the process, caring for your restored basin is incredibly easy and straightforward.
You must avoid abrasive scouring powders or rough scrubbing pads that can dull the shiny finish over time.
Instead, simply use mild liquid dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner along with a soft microfiber cloth.
Additionally, keeping your plumbing fixtures in good repair prevents dripping faucets from eroding the new protective coat.
Consistently wiping down the surface after use prevents mineral deposits from building up and dulling the shine.
Following these simple guidelines ensures your renewed fixture remains beautiful and bright for up to fifteen years.
Another helpful tip is to avoid leaving wet washcloths or heavy bottles sitting on the rim for extended periods.
Allowing the surface to dry completely between uses helps the protective coating maintain its maximum hardness and strength.
This small habit pays off big time by protecting your affordable home improvement investment for the long haul.

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 Uptown, 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.
