A dull or chipped tub in Arpelar 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.

We specialize in making tired bathroom fixtures look like they just came off the showroom floor in just one day. Get in touch with us today for your free estimate and let us show you how affordable a beautiful bathroom can be.
This clever process involves applying a specialized liquid coating that cures into a rock-hard, high-gloss finish. First, we clean the old surface with industrial strength solutions to strip away years of soap scum and mineral deposits. This deep cleaning step is absolutely vital because the new coating needs a perfectly clean surface to bond with.
After the prep work, we repair any deep gouges, rust spots, or chips using a tough polyester filler. Then we spray on a state-of-the-art bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old material and the new finish. Finally, we apply multiple layers of acrylic urethane using high-tech spray equipment for an incredibly smooth look.
| Step in the Process | What We Do | Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Chemical Clean | Remove soap scum and hard water deposits | Ensures a perfect bond that will not peel |
| Surface Repair | Fill in cracks, chips, and rust spots | Creates a smooth, even surface before coating |
| Bonding Agent | Apply molecular primer to the old finish | Guarantees long-lasting durability for years |
| Acrylic Topcoat | Spray multiple layers of high-gloss glaze | Delivers a beautiful, easy-to-clean shine |
Once the final layer cures, your old tub gets a new lease on life that feels incredibly smooth to the touch. This means you do not have to worry about scrub brush fatigue anymore because dirt washes away with simple soap and water. You will love how easy it is to keep your upgraded bathroom looking pristine and fresh.
Saving money is the most obvious benefit when you opt for this modern coating method. The typical cost of replacing an old cast iron or steel tub can skyrocket quickly once you factor in labor. Our process keeps your hard-earned cash in your wallet where it belongs.
In a cozy community of about 321 residents where the median household income is around $35,000, smart spending is just common sense. You do not need to take out a second mortgage just to have a clean, pleasant place to wash up. Our budget-friendly service fits perfectly into your financial plans while delivering massive visual impact.
Another great benefit is the speed of our work because we usually finish the entire job in about four to six hours. This means you can actually use your bathroom again the very next day without waiting weeks for contractors to finish. We respect your time and your home, which is why we work quickly and leave zero mess behind.
Older fiberglass tubs often develop tiny hairline cracks that flex when you stand on them, which can lead to hidden water leaks. We can reinforce these weak spots with heavy-duty fiberglass mesh and resin before we apply the final shiny coat. This extra step stops leaks in their tracks and saves you from costly subfloor repairs down the line.
Porcelain tubs are incredibly tough, but they can chip easily if you drop a heavy shampoo bottle or a cleaning tool. These chips eventually turn into ugly orange rust spots that expand and ruin the look of your entire bathroom. We grind down that rust and seal the metal so the moisture cannot reach it ever again.
Maybe you are stuck with an outdated color from past decades, like dusty rose or avocado green, that makes you cringe. We can easily transform that historical eyesore into a classic, bright white or almond color that matches any modern decor. This simple color change instantly brightens up the entire room and makes it feel much larger.
When our friendly technician arrives at your home in the local area, we start by setting up a powerful exhaust fan. This fan pulls any paint fumes out through the nearest window so your family does not have to breathe in strong smells. We also use heavy plastic sheeting to mask off your walls, floors, and vanity to protect them from overspray.
Next comes the meticulous preparation of the fixture, which is the most important part of the entire job. We use specialized acid cleaners that etch the old glaze to create microscopic pores for the new material to grip. If your tub has been painted before, we strip off that old, peeling paint completely to ensure a flat surface.
After we spray the final coat, we pack up our gear, clean up our workspace, and explain how to care for your new finish. You will receive a list of approved cleaners to keep your shiny new surface looking great for up to a decade. We make the entire experience painless and stress-free from the moment we walk through your front door.
Keeping your restored fixture looking beautiful is incredibly easy if you follow a few simple guidelines. You should avoid abrasive cleaning powders and harsh scrubbing pads that can scratch the glossy acrylic finish over time. Instead, use mild liquid dish soaps or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners to wipe away any grime.
It is also a good idea to fix any leaky faucets quickly because dripping water can eventually wear down the new glaze. Do not leave wet bottles or soap bars sitting directly on the rim for long periods of time. These simple habits will ensure your beautiful bathroom upgrade stays bright and glossy for a very long time.

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 Arpelar, 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.
