A dull or chipped tub in Awendaw 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.
Do you stare at your stained and chipped bathroom surfaces wondering how to fix them without breaking the bank? Restoring the glossy finish of your basin is the secret to a high-end look without needing a full-scale demolition of your space.
Many people think they have to rip everything out to get a fresh feel in their washroom. This couldn't be further from the truth because you can simply resurface the existing material to make it look brand new. It saves you thousands of dollars while keeping your home looking sharp.
Replacing a solid cast iron or steel vessel is a massive headache that involves plumbers and construction crews. You end up with dust everywhere and a bathroom that stays out of commission for days on end. It turns your home into a total mess just to get a clean white surface.
Instead, think about the benefit of a professional refinishing process that lasts for years. By choosing this route, you maintain the structural integrity of your original tub while getting that smooth, deep shine you crave. It is a win for your wallet and your sanity.
First, the technician cleans the surface with industrial solvents to strip away soap scum, mineral deposits, and old caulk. This deep cleaning prepares the substrate so the new material sticks like glue. You get a pristine base that ensures a long-lasting, durable bond.
Next, we address any chips or cracks by filling them with specialized resins that harden quickly. This step makes the surface perfectly level so your new finish looks uniform and smooth. You will never even know those ugly blemishes existed in the first place.
Finally, we apply a high-grade synthetic coating that mimics the original factory finish. This layer provides a level of ease and luxury that makes your morning routine feel like a spa visit. It cures fast, which means you get back to using your space in record time.

You see the number first, then you decide. You keep your hard-earned money for other important projects instead of wasting it on expensive plumbing and demolition labor. It is a fiscally responsible way to upgrade your living space.

| Benefit Category | Why It Matters | |

| Budget Friendly | Saves thousands compared to replacement costs | |
| Speed | Usually done in just one or two days | |

| Aesthetics | Provides a glossy, high-end visual appeal |
You might worry if a painted-on layer will peel or wear away after just a few months of use. However, the materials we use are engineered to withstand daily exposure to water, heat, and standard cleaning agents. We focus on industrial-strength polymers that lock onto the surface for years of reliable use.
Proper maintenance after the work is complete is the key to longevity. You should avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals that can dull the sheen over time. Gentle cleaners and a soft cloth will keep the finish looking radiant and fresh for as long as possible.
When I arrive at your property, I look at the current state of your basin and the surrounding tile. Some surfaces have stubborn rust or deep gouges that require extra attention before we start the coating process. I explain every step clearly so you are never left wondering about the process.
You get a transparent evaluation without any pressure to commit on the spot. My goal is to provide you with the information you need to make the best decision for your home. You deserve clear answers, honest pricing, and results that make you proud of your bathroom.
You don't need a massive loan to give your washroom a total makeover. The power of a fresh, bright white coating can change the entire vibe of the room instantly. It creates a sense of openness and cleanliness that paint and new hardware just cannot match alone.
Think about how much more you would enjoy your morning ritual if the base of your shower wasn't stained or rough to the touch. That feeling of relief is worth every penny of the investment. You can finally stop hiding your bathroom from guests because you are ashamed of the dingy fixtures.
Many folks believe that this process smells terrible for a week after it is finished. While there is a ventilation requirement during the application, we use industrial exhaust fans to clear the air quickly. You will find that the odor fades almost entirely within twenty-four hours of completion.
Another common myth is that the coating will look like plastic or have a cheap texture. Actually, a professional application creates a high-gloss finish that is difficult to distinguish from brand-new porcelain. It feels smooth, looks bright, and adds significant value to your home.
You are just one message away from getting a clear, no-nonsense quote for your project. There is no reason to live with a bathtub that makes you feel frustrated or unhappy any longer. Reach out today to schedule your visit and let's see what we can do to fix your 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 around Awendaw, 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.

The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
