All over Ashley 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.
Your bathroom should feel like a private sanctuary where you can wash away the stress of a long day. Unfortunately, a stained, chipped, or outdated washing basin can completely ruin that relaxing vibe. Surface refinishing offers a brilliant way to restore that sparkling shine without the massive headache of a full demolition. This smart alternative saves you thousands of dollars while delivering a glossy, durable finish that looks brand new.

We bring all the professional gear directly to your doorstep to handle the entire transformation in just a single day. If you want to see how affordable this quick upgrade can be, we would love to give you a free estimate today.
To make things even better, this process works on a huge variety of materials like cast iron, steel, and fiberglass. You do not have to settle for an ugly, outdated color from decades ago anymore. Instead, you can choose a fresh, clean shade that matches your modern style perfectly. It is the ultimate shortcut to a beautiful bathroom refresh that keeps your hard-earned money in your wallet.
Before we spray a single drop of our advanced coating, we must prepare the old foundation flawlessly. This critical step involves stripping away any old, peeling layers of paint or cheap DIY coatings from past years. After that, we apply a specialized acid etch to create tiny, invisible pores on the surface. These microscopic pores allow our high-tech bonding agents to grip the old material with incredible strength.
Next, we carefully repair any deep scratches, rust spots, or ugly chips using a durable waterproof filler. Once we sand those repairs completely flat, we spray several coats of a premium acrylic urethane topcoat. This specific material mimics the classic look of genuine porcelain while offering fantastic resistance to daily wear and tear. You get a thick, lustrous finish that seals out moisture and prevents future mold growth.
To help you understand how this process compares to a traditional replacement, we created a handy comparison table below:
| Feature | Professional Resurfacing | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden fees |
| Time to Complete | Finished in 4 to 8 hours | Takes several days or even weeks |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal, contained to the bathroom | Massive drywall dust and debris |
| Durability | Lasts 10 to 15 years with basic care | Very long-lasting but costly to install |
Living in this beautiful region of southeast Arkansas means appreciating honest value and hard work. With around 21,000 friendly residents sharing this lovely county, we know how much people value practical home improvement solutions. Whether you live in Crossett, Hamburg, or any nearby rural route, keeping your home beautiful shouldn't drain your bank account. Our neighbors love this service because it preserves the original charm of older homes without destroying their budget.
Since the median household income in this peaceful area sits around $41,000, saving money on renovations is incredibly important. Spending thousands on a plumber and a contractor to replace a simple fixture just does not make financial sense. Our affordable option lets you allocate your hard-won savings toward other important family needs or home projects. We proudly serve various local communities across ZIP codes like 71635, 71646, and 71661 with top-tier craftsmanship.
On top of that, we always treat your home with the utmost respect and care during our visit. We use professional exhaust fans to pull any strong chemical fumes directly out of your window while we work. This means you do not have to worry about harsh odors lingering in your living room for days. Once we pack up our tools, you can step into a refreshed space that feels clean, bright, and incredibly inviting.
Many folks assume that buying a cheap new basin at the local hardware store is the easiest path forward. However, they quickly realize that the retail price of the product is only a tiny fraction of the total bill. You often have to hire an expensive plumber to re-route old pipes that do not align with the new model. Sometimes, workers even have to break down your doorway or cut into your hallway walls just to carry the old, heavy cast iron beast out of the house.
This unwanted demolition leads to extra costs for drywall repair, painting, tiling, and flooring. What started as a simple weekend project quickly balloons into a multi-thousand-dollar nightmare that leaves you without a working bathroom for weeks. Our targeted recoating service completely bypasses these annoying complications by focusing solely on the fixture itself. You keep your existing layout, your beautiful original tilework, and your sanity completely intact.
Furthermore, older fixtures are often built with much higher quality materials than the flimsy plastic units sold today. Keeping your heavy-duty original basin is actually a major upgrade in terms of heat retention and solid sturdiness. By letting us restore its outer layer, you retain that premium, high-quality feel while enjoying a pristine, stain-free look. It is truly the greenest and most sensible way to update your home footprint.
Maintaining your newly coated surface is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, porous, worn-out basin. Because the new acrylic urethane layer is completely non-porous, dirt and soap scum cannot find a place to stick. You can kiss those painful, back-breaking scrubbing sessions with abrasive chemical powders goodbye forever. A simple wipe down with a mild liquid dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth is all it takes to keep it shining.
However, you must avoid using harsh abrasive pads, steel wool, or bleach-heavy cleaners on the new finish. These rough materials can create microscopic scratches that dull the gorgeous, high-gloss shine over time. We also recommend avoiding suction-cup bathmats, as pulling them up can put unnecessary stress on the bond. Instead, we can apply an integrated, slip-resistant texture directly to the bottom of the basin during our application process.
This optional safety feature provides excellent traction for kids and elderly family members without damaging the beautiful aesthetics. By following these simple guidelines, your renewed fixture will look absolutely spectacular for up to fifteen years. We take immense pride in our precise application techniques, ensuring you get the absolute maximum value out of your investment. Let us show you how we can transform your worn bath space into a place of pure delight.

Our friendly, experienced crew is ready to travel straight to your home anywhere in Ashley County, Arkansas to assess your project.

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.
