All over Wyandotte 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.

Grab a free estimate from our friendly team right now to save big bucks on your home renovation.
Honestly, you do not need to rip out your heavy cast iron or fiberglass washing unit just because the surface looks dull or stained. This specialized process involves applying a series of high-tech chemical layers over your existing tub structure to seal up old cracks and recreate a factory-grade shine. Which means you avoid the giant mess of dusty drywall destruction and plumbing headaches entirely.
To get things started, our technicians carefully strip away old silicone caulk and scrub the entire basin with heavy-duty industrial cleaners. This step removes years of soapy residue, body oils, and minerals that standard grocery store cleaners can never quite dissolve. After we prepare the surface, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a microscopic glue to lock the new finish down tight.
Once that primer cures, we use professional spray equipment to lay down multiple coats of a highly durable acrylic urethane topcoat. This creates a brilliant, glass-like shield that resists chipping and discoloration for many years down the road. You get a gorgeously clean look that feels incredibly smooth to the touch, boosting your overall sense of bathroom coziness.

| Mess & Dust | Very minimal, we clean up everything before leaving | Massive drywall dust, plaster debris, and noise |
| Lifespan | Easily lasts ten to fifteen years with proper care | Durable but requires massive upfront investment |
By studying this simple table, you can easily see why smart homeowners choose our surface restoration method over traditional remodeling. This lets you keep your hard-earned money in your pocket while still getting that bright, clean bathroom aesthetic you deserve. On top of that, you can typically use your newly coated shower area within twenty-four to forty-eight hours.
Living here in Wyandotte County, Kansas, means dealing with unique local water conditions that can leave stubborn orange rust stains and dark mineral crusts on your plumbing fixtures. Our team knows exactly how to treat these specific regional issues because we live and work right alongside you in the local community. We take great pride in helping our neighbors restore their properties without draining their savings accounts.
Perhaps your home is one of the classic mid-century bungalows or cozy ranch-style properties found throughout ZIP codes like 66102, 66104, or 66106. These older houses often feature beautiful, heavy cast iron tubs that are incredibly difficult and expensive to remove through narrow doorways. Choosing our local refinishing crew allows you to preserve that historic charm while upgrading the surface to modern standards of cleanliness.
With a local population of over 160,000 residents and a median household income of around $55,000, we understand the high value of a dollar around here. That is why we focus on delivering top-tier craftsmanship that fits comfortably into your family budget without sacrificing quality. We love serving our local community and ensuring every single customer gets treated like family.

We arrive on time, respect your property, and answer all your questions without using confusing industry jargon. This means you get honest answers, reliable scheduling, and a gorgeous finished product that will make you smile every time you brush your teeth.
Our professional crew brings specialized ventilation equipment to keep those strong paint odors out of your living room while we apply the coating layers. We also use advanced techniques to ensure a perfectly level finish without any ugly runs, drips, or rough spots. You get peace of mind knowing the job is done right the first time by people who care.
To keep your newly shiny surface looking pristine, you should always avoid abrasive bleach powders or rough scrubbing pads that can scratch the finish. This lets you preserve the glossy luster simply by wiping down the basin with a soft sponge and mild dish soap once a week. Which means cleaning your bathroom actually becomes much easier than it ever was before.
Another great tip is to fix any dripping faucets quickly because constant water drops can eventually wear down even the strongest industrial coatings over time. We also recommend avoiding suction-cup bathmats because pulling them up repeatedly can weaken the bond of the new surface layer. Instead, we can apply a permanent, slip-resistant texture to the bottom of your tub during our application process.
By following these simple care instructions, you can easily extend the life of your gorgeous new finish for over a decade. Our customers love how low-maintenance their updated bathrooms feel after we finish our work. You will save countless hours of scrubbing on your hands and knees while enjoying a spotless, sparkling space.

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.
