All over Winnebago County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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 probably stare at that stained, chipped basin every single morning and wish for a fresh start. Giving your washroom a brand new look does not actually require a massive demolition project that leaves you with dust for weeks.
Instead, you can choose a smart way to restore your existing hardware to its former glory. This process saves you tons of cash while making your space feel completely brand new again.
Tearing out an old cast iron or fiberglass basin creates a literal mountain of debris in your home. You have to worry about broken tiles, ruined plumbing, and the sheer headache of hauling heavy materials out to the curb.
Most people hate the idea of living in a construction zone for days on end. Choosing to resurface your tub instead keeps your house quiet, clean, and functioning while we work our magic on the surface.
This method relies on high-quality resins and specialized bonding agents that stick to your existing structure like glue. It creates a smooth, durable finish that resists stains and holds up against daily scrubbing.
You might wonder how a spray-on application can possibly last for years under constant water pressure. We prepare the surface by removing every single bit of grime, soap scum, and old caulk that has built up over time.
Think of it like painting a house, but for your porcelain or plastic vessel. If you do not sand and clean the surface perfectly, the new layer will peel off in no time flat.
Once we prime the area, we apply several layers of industrial-grade coating that hardens into a solid shell. This shell provides a sense of peace because you no longer have to scrub hard to remove stubborn mildew stains.

Whenever you decide to replace a unit, you spend a fortune on labor, new materials, and disposal fees. Restoring your unit lets you keep the original plumbing and layout intact while getting the exact color you want.
Serving the wonderful people of Winnebago County, Wisconsin is what we do best every single day. We understand that this region values hard work, local pride, and making sure your hard-earned money stays in your pocket.
Whether you live in a historic home near the lake or a modern suburban house, we handle every job with the same level of care. We treat your property like our own home because we know you trust us to do a good job.
You are the perfect candidate for this service if your fixture looks yellow, cracked, or just plain sad. Maybe you want to flip your house and need to make the bathrooms pop for potential buyers.
Perhaps you just moved into a new place and the previous owners left the washroom in a state of total disarray. We can fix those deep gouges and rust spots that make it impossible to get a sense of relaxation while you soak.
After you call us for a free estimate, we come out to your home to look at the damage. We check for deep cracks and verify that your plumbing does not have hidden leaks that could ruin the work later.
Next, we tape off the entire surrounding area to protect your walls, floor, and vanity from any accidental overspray. Then, we use a specialized acid-etching process to make sure the base material is ready to accept the new chemical bond.
Finally, we use a high-volume low-pressure sprayer to apply the finish in multiple even passes. You get a result that looks just like a factory-new piece of equipment at a fraction of the cost.
You should follow a few simple rules to keep your rejuvenated fixture looking good for a long time. Please avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that could scratch the new surface over the coming years.
Stick to mild soaps and soft sponges to wash away the daily buildup of soap and dirt. Because the new finish is non-porous, grime will not cling to it like it did before we arrived to help you out.
If you treat the surface with a bit of respect, it will reward you with a long lifespan of reliable use. Just think about the time you save by not having to scrub away at those stubborn, stained spots.
Many people worry about the smell during the spraying process because the chemicals are strong. We use high-powered exhaust fans to pull the vapors out of your home while we work on your tub.
Within a single day, the odor dissipates entirely, leaving you with nothing but a shiny, bright, and clean surface. It really is that simple to upgrade your bathroom without the massive headache of a full tear-out.
You do not need to worry about the state of our local area codes, as we always comply with all safety requirements. We keep our work area tidy and respectful of your privacy throughout the entire duration of the project.
Taking control of your home improvement projects makes you feel empowered and saves you from future regret. When you look at your bathroom and feel a sense of gloom, you are losing out on the joy of a nice, bright home.

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, 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.
