A dull or chipped tub in Vermilion 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.
Do you look at your scratched tub with utter despair every single morning? Fortunately, fixing this fixture gives you a fresh and shiny space without spending a fortune.
Indeed, your tired bathroom can shine again by using our local crew who arrives right at your door. Plus, you get a free estimate today so you know all costs upfront.
Tearing out a heavy cast iron tub makes a huge mess in your home. Instead of demolition, our specialized resurfacing technique saves you thousands of hard earned dollars.
Beyond saving cash, this clever method prevents structural damage to your floors and walls. Therefore, you dodge weeks of dusty construction noise while your bathroom stays usable soon.
Our skilled crew starts by scrubbing your old porcelain until it is totally free of grime. Next, we etch the surface carefully so the bonding agent grabs the new coating permanently.
Following that preparation, we spray industrial grade polymers across the entire basin with exact precision. This lets you enjoy a glossy finish that resists daily wear and prevents stubborn mold growth.
Living in a quiet spot like Vermilion means you appreciate honest work from neighbors. Because our team operates right here in Edgar County, we arrive fast when you need us.
Furthermore, supporting regional businesses keeps money circulating inside ZIP codes 61955 where we all shop. Consequently, you receive personalized attention that giant national chains simply cannot match.
Many homeowners assume buying a brand new tub is the only smart path forward. However, standard remodels involve plumbers, permits, and dumpster rentals that drain your bank account quickly.
By contrast, our coating service takes only a single afternoon from start to finish. This gives you stunning results immediately while keeping your original plumbing completely undisturbed.
Managing household expenses requires careful planning, especially when median household income hovers around $49,583 locally. Spending thousands on a full bathroom gut job might strain your personal budget unnecessarily.
Instead, choosing our affordable treatment leaves plenty of room for other home improvement projects. This smart choice protects your finances while giving your washroom a gorgeous makeover.
When our truck pulls up to your home with a population of 245 residents, you meet friendly professionals. We protect your surrounding tiles and floors meticulously before mixing any chemical compounds.
Once the protective masking is secure, we apply the specialized bonding agents and topcoats skillfully. This ensures your fixture gains a smooth appearance that enhances your daily routine.
Our technicians use professional ventilation fans to pull fumes outside while we work on your tub. Because safety matters most, we wear proper respirators and keep your living areas sealed off securely.
After the spraying finishes, the coating cures rapidly and leaves behind zero unpleasant chemical odors. This lets you breathe easy and relax in your newly upgraded washroom by tomorrow morning.
Cleaning your newly sealed basin takes minimal effort because the smooth topcoat repels soapy buildup. Naturally, you should avoid abrasive scouring pads or harsh bleach products that scratch modern polymers.
By using mild dish soap and a soft sponge, you maintain that brilliant mirror shine effortlessly. This simple maintenance routine ensures your investment looks brand new for a long time.
Some folks worry that sprayed coatings will peel off after just a few months of use. However, our advanced chemical bonding process fuses the new material directly into the old pores.
Another myth claims that painted tubs look bumpy and feel rough under your bare feet. Actually, our high volume spray equipment delivers a glass like texture that feels wonderful during baths.
Noticeable rust spots around the drain mean moisture is eating away at your underlying metal. Ignoring these warning signs will eventually lead to leaks that ruin your subfloor entirely.
Similarly, dull patches that refuse to get clean indicate the original factory enamel has worn away. Fixing these flaws now stops minor cosmetic issues from turning into expensive structural nightmares.

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 Vermilion, 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.
