A dull or chipped tub in Winneconne 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.
Your old tub looks pretty rough these days. Between the ugly stains and that outdated color from decades ago, you probably dread stepping into your bathroom. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to fix this eyesore.
Our local team specializes in giving worn-out bathroom fixtures a gorgeous, durable new surface right in place. By choosing this smart updating method, you save tons of cash while getting a clean, glossy finish that feels brand new. We proudly serve homeowners throughout the local area and always offer a free project estimate to help you plan your budget without any pressure.
Many folks do not realize that you can actually save your existing heavy cast iron or steel tub instead of throwing it in a landfill. This specialized service involves applying a high-performance liquid acrylic coating directly over your prepped fixture. First, we clean the area with industrial strength solutions to strip away years of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. After repairing any deep chips or rust spots, we spray on a premium bonding agent followed by several coats of a tough, high-gloss topcoat.
This process completely seals the old porous material. Which means you get a super smooth surface that resists mold, mildew, and dirt. On top of that, the entire project takes only a single day to finish. You can go to sleep with an ugly bathroom and wake up to a stunning oasis without the headache of contractors tearing down your walls.
To help you understand how this compares to a full replacement, we put together a quick comparison table below.
| Feature | Our Renewal Service | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable | Extremely expensive |
| Time to Complete | 4 to 6 hours | 3 to 7 days |
| Demolition Mess | None at all | Major dust and debris |
| Lifespan | 10 to 15 years with care | 20 plus years |
Living in our lovely lakeside community of Winneconne, Wisconsin, means enjoying a peaceful pace of life where we value hard work and smart financial choices. With a local population of about 2,627 residents and a median household income of around $61,094, folks around here appreciate high-quality home improvements that do not break the bank. Whether you live near the Wolf River or closer to the outskirts of Winnebago County in the 54986 ZIP code, you deserve a home that feels fresh and inviting.
Our neighbors often tell us how much they appreciate keeping their original, sturdy fixtures. Older tubs were made to last, so keeping that heavy-duty foundation while simply refreshing the outer layer is a win-win. Plus, you avoid the risk of damaging your existing plumbing, tile work, or flooring during a chaotic tear-out. We treat your home with the utmost respect, sealing off the bathroom and using heavy-duty exhaust fans to keep odors away from your living space.
Think about how much easier your weekly cleaning routine will become once we finish our work. Because the new acrylic glaze is completely non-porous, dirt and grime have nowhere to stick. This lets you wipe down the surface with a mild soap and a soft sponge in just seconds. You can finally say goodbye to harsh scrubbing, expensive chemical cleaners, and aching back muscles.
Besides saving your physical energy, this upgrade instantly boosts the overall appeal of your entire home. If you plan to sell your house down the road, a clean, modern-looking bathroom makes a fantastic impression on potential buyers. Even if you plan to stay put for decades, you get to enjoy a bright, clean space that feels incredibly cozy and hygienic every single day.
When you book our friendly team, we arrive on time with all the necessary professional equipment. We start by carefully masking off your walls, floor, and vanity to protect them from any overspray. Next, we use specialized ventilation systems to safely pull any fumes out of your home through the nearest window. Our skilled technician then spends a significant amount of time prepping the old surface, which is the absolute most important step for a long-lasting bond.
Once the preparation is perfect, we apply the primer and multiple layers of our premium coating. We use a professional spray system that leaves a flawless, brush-stroke-free finish. After we clean up our workspace and pack up our tools, we explain how to care for your new surface so it stays beautiful for years to come. You simply need to let the coating cure for about twenty-four hours before you turn on the water and enjoy your first soak.
Many homeowners call us because their fiberglass surrounds have faded to a dull, depressing beige or yellow. Others have beautiful cast iron tubs that have suffered deep scratches, chips, or rust stains around the drain over the years. We easily repair these ugly blemishes using specialized waterproof fillers before we apply the final shiny glaze. No matter how bad you think your current setup looks, there is a very good chance we can make it look pristine again.
Sometimes, the issue is simply an outdated color scheme from the nineteen-seventies or eighties. If you are tired of looking at avocado green, dusty rose, or harvest gold, we can transform it into a bright, modern white. This simple change instantly opens up a small bathroom, making the entire room feel much larger and more airy. It is amazing how a simple shift in color can completely modernize your home's interior style.
To ensure your gorgeous new finish lasts for up to fifteen years, you must treat it with a little bit of care. This means avoiding abrasive cleaning powders, steel wool, or harsh bleach solutions that can scratch the glossy surface. Instead, stick to gentle liquid dish soaps or specialized cleaners that are safe for acrylic finishes. Also, remember to avoid leaving wet bottles or heavy metal cans sitting on the ledge for long periods.
Another helpful tip is to skip using suction-cup bath mats, as pulling them up can eventually weaken the bond of the coating. If you want a non-slip surface, just let us know before we start spraying! We can easily integrate a subtle, permanent slip-resistant texture directly into the bottom of the tub during our process. This built-in safety feature protects your family without risking any damage to your beautiful new glaze.

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 Winneconne, 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
