Maybe your bathroom currently looks like a time capsule from the mid-1970s.
Fortunately, you can transform that ugly, chipped surface into a gleaming masterpiece in just one day.
This smart method bypasses the nightmare of ripping out your plumbing and walls.
Actually, many homeowners believe they must spend thousands on a full remodel.
By choosing to resurface instead, you save a mountain of cash and avoid weeks of construction dust.
Which means you get a sparkling, clean bathroom without the massive headache.
Now, let us talk about how this process actually works for your home.
Our team of skilled professionals specializes in bringing tired bathroom fixtures back to life.
You can grab a free estimate today to see how affordable this transformation is.
First, we need to clear up a common misunderstanding about this specialized service.
People often think we just slap a fresh coat of paint over the old grime.
In reality, we use advanced chemical bonding agents to fuse a new, durable coating to your existing fixture.
This meticulous process requires deep cleaning, acid etching, and precise spray equipment.
Because of these technical steps, the new finish bonds at a molecular level.
Consequently, your renewed basin will resist peeling and look brand new for many years.
To help you compare your options, we put together a quick comparison of pathways.
| Factor | Full Replacement | Our Renewal Process |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High (Thousands) | Highly Budget-Friendly |
| Time to Complete | One to two weeks | Four to eight hours |
| Mess and Dust | Extreme demolition | Virtually none |
Naturally, seeing these differences makes the choice pretty simple for most folks.
You keep your quality cast iron or steel structure while updating the color.
This lets you enjoy a modern, clean look without breaking the bank.
Initially, we strip away all the old soap scum, body oils, and ancient silicon caulk.
If we skip this step, the new topcoat will not stick properly to the porcelain.
That is why we spend most of our time prepping the area.
Next, we repair any deep scratches, rust spots, or ugly dings in the structure.
We fill these imperfections with specialized waterproof compounds that cure rapidly.
As a result, the final surface looks completely smooth and flawless.
Perhaps you want to move away from that outdated avocado green or dusty rose.
We offer a beautiful palette of modern whites, almond shades, and biscuit tones.
This choice allows you to match your existing toilet and sink perfectly.
On top of that, you can choose the exact gloss level you prefer.
Most homeowners opt for a high-shine finish that reflects light beautifully.
Which makes your entire bathroom feel much larger and brighter than before.
Living in this lovely corner of the Sunflower State means appreciating smart, cost-effective solutions.
We serve the wonderful neighborhood of Westlink, Wichita, Kansas, where homes have great character but older bathrooms.
Within the 67212 ZIP code area, many properties feature solid, heavy cast iron basins that are worth saving.
Instead of hiring expensive contractors to haul that heavy metal away, we renew it right in place.
Local families with a typical median household income appreciate keeping their hard-earned money in their pockets.
Thus, our service offers the perfect balance of luxury feel and sensible spending.
Furthermore, our local climate can bring high humidity during our warm, breezy summers.
Our industrial-grade coatings stand up to moisture and daily wear without breaking a sweat.
So you get peace of mind knowing your investment will endure the local elements.
First, our friendly technician arrives at your doorstep with all the necessary gear.
We protect your floors, vanity, and walls with heavy-duty drop cloths and plastic masking.
This keeps your home completely clean and safe from any overspray.
Then, we set up a high-powered exhaust fan system to vent fumes safely outdoors.
While the materials do have a strong scent during application, the smell clears out quickly.
Because we prioritize safety, we manage the ventilation with extreme care.
Once the prep work is complete, we apply the primer and multiple layers of acrylic urethane.
This coating cures into a rock-hard shell that feels incredibly smooth to the touch.
Finally, we clean up our workspace, leaving your bathroom cleaner than we found it.
Fortunately, maintaining your restored fixture is incredibly easy and simple.
You must avoid abrasive scouring powders or harsh bleach products that scratch the shine.
Instead, use mild dish soap or gentle liquid cleaners with a soft sponge.
This simple habit preserves the brilliant luster of the finish for a decade or more.
We also recommend wiping the area down after use to prevent mineral buildup.
Which means less scrubbing time for you during your weekend chores.
Sometimes, your basin is mostly fine but has a few nasty rust stains around the drain.
We treat these corroded spots with chemical converters to stop the rust completely.
This prevents the damage from bubbling up under your gorgeous new glaze later on.
If you have a fiberglass or acrylic unit, we can fix structural cracks too.
We lay down strong fiberglass mesh and resin to reinforce the weak areas.
Then, we spray the topcoat, making the repair completely invisible to the naked eye.
Are you ready to stop squinting at those ugly stains every time you bathe?
Our friendly local team is standing by to give you a detailed, no-obligation quote.
We take great pride in delivering stunning results that make our neighbors smile.

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 Westlink, 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.
