A dull or chipped tub in Arlington 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.
You can instantly transform your tired bathroom into a bright space today. Our local team brings outdated tub surfaces back to life with zero mess. Get your free estimate now and save thousands on your remodel!
First of all, ripping out an old tub ruins your walls and floors. This means you end up paying for tile repairs and plumbing fixes that you did not even plan for. On top of that, the labor costs for a full demolition will make your stomach sink.
Actually, the whole messy process can leave your only bathroom unusable for days or even weeks. That is a massive headache for any busy household trying to get ready in the morning. Fortunately, our team offers a much smarter way to get that clean look without the chaos.
By choosing to update the existing fixture instead, you keep your original layout completely intact. Which means you skip the dusty drywall work and expensive plumbing permits altogether. You simply get a shiny, fresh surface that looks identical to a brand new installation.
Now, let us talk about how this clever process actually works to save your sanity. We use specialized bonding agents to fuse a durable new coating over your old cast iron or acrylic. This creates a glossy, non-porous barrier that resists stains and looks incredibly sharp.
In addition to saving your hard-earned cash, this method takes less than a single day to complete. This lets you use your shower again almost immediately without waiting around for contractors. Our process works wonders on ugly chipped porcelain, outdated fiberglass, and even those strange 1970s avocado green colors.
To give you a better idea of how this compares to traditional remodeling, look at this quick comparison:
| Factor | Full Replacement | Our Specialized Coating Service |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | Typically 3 to 5 days of messy demolition | Finished in just 4 to 6 hours |
| Mess and Dust Level | Extremely high, plaster and tile debris everywhere | Very low, we mask off everything completely |
| Total Project Cost | Very expensive due to plumbing and tile repairs | Incredibly affordable and budget-friendly |
As you can see, the benefits of choosing a smart restoration over a demolition are pretty obvious. You keep your cash in your pocket while still getting a gorgeous, sparkling bathroom. It is the ultimate shortcut to a luxury feel without the luxury price tag.
Our dedicated crew loves working in this beautiful corner of the state where families expect quality. We know that homeowners in the local 38002 area code take great pride in maintaining their properties. Whether you live in a classic home or a newer build, we treat your space with respect.
Since the median household income here sits comfortably around $101,186, local folks appreciate smart investments that add real value. Preserving your existing bathroom fixtures is one of the best ways to boost your home value without overspending. Our services help the growing population of 11,689 residents keep their homes looking pristine.
Because we are active right here in Shelby County, we can arrive at your doorstep quickly to assess your project. We understand the specific water conditions and housing styles common to our neighborhood. This local familiarity ensures we use the perfect materials for a finish that actually lasts.
To start, we clean the old surface with specialized industrial prep solutions to strip away years of soap scum. This step is absolutely critical because even a tiny speck of oil can ruin the adhesion. We take our time here to ensure the foundation is absolutely perfect.
Following the deep clean, we repair any deep scratches, rust spots, or ugly chips with waterproof fillers. This makes the surface completely smooth and uniform before we apply any color. You will not even be able to tell where the old damage used to be.
Next, we spray our premium bonding agents and high-tech acrylic topcoats using professional-grade ventilation systems. This advanced equipment keeps your home smelling fresh and free of overspray. The result is a deep, rich shine that looks like brand new porcelain.
Perhaps you want a classic, crisp white to make your small bathroom feel much larger and brighter. We offer several shades of white and biscuit to match your existing toilet and sink perfectly. This creates a cohesive, intentional look that feels balanced and clean.
If you feel adventurous, we can also discuss custom colors to match your unique style. Our coatings offer incredible UV resistance, meaning they will not yellow or fade over the years. You get a lasting beauty that stands up to daily scrubbing and hot showers.
Once we finish the job, maintaining your renewed fixture is a total breeze. You can say goodbye to harsh abrasive cleaners that scratch your surfaces and tire your arms out. A simple wipe down with a mild liquid soap keeps the shine alive for years.
This easy maintenance routine saves you hours of exhausting chores every single week. On top of that, the sealed surface prevents mold and mildew from taking root in rough patches. You get a healthier, cleaner bathing environment for your entire family to enjoy.
Honestly, those cheap store-bought kits are nothing like what the professionals use. They usually consist of thick, smelly epoxy paint that you apply with a roller or brush. This almost always leaves ugly brush marks, runs, and bubbles all over your tub.
Worse yet, those retail coatings do not bond chemically to the original porcelain or fiberglass. This means the new paint will start peeling off in big sheets within just a few months. Then you are stuck with an even bigger mess that is incredibly difficult to clean off.
By hiring our local crew, you get industrial-grade materials and professional spray equipment. We guarantee a smooth, factory-like finish that lasts for years instead of weeks. Save yourself the weekend headache and let our experienced hands do it right the first time.
Are you ready to finally get rid of that ugly, stained tub surface for good? Our friendly team is standing by to give you a completely free, no-obligation estimate. We will visit your home, inspect your fixture, and give you an honest price on the spot.
This simple step puts you on the fast track to a beautiful bathroom you can actually show off to guests. No pressure, no hidden fees, just honest local service you can rely on. Let us help you fall in love with your home all over again!
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 Arlington, 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.
