A dull or chipped tub in Barnett 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 stare at that dated, stained tub every single morning and wonder how things got this bad. Honestly, those stubborn rust rings and the faded color from decades ago can make your entire home feel tired. Fortunately, you can completely transform that worn-out fixture today without paying thousands of dollars for a chaotic bathroom remodel.
By choosing to renew the existing surface of your tub, you avoid the nightmare of ripping out plumbing and tearing up your walls. This smart process coats your old cast iron or fiberglass basin with a high-performance protective layer. As a result, you get a glossy, incredibly durable finish that looks identical to a brand-new installation.

We want to help you fall in love with your bathroom again, which is why we offer completely free on-site estimates.

First, we meticulously clean the entire surface to remove decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. This deep preparation step is vital because even the smallest speck of dirt can ruin the final look. We use specialized cleaners that strip away everything down to the original structure.
After that, we carefully repair any deep chips, scratches, or unsightly cracks using a heavy-duty polyester filler. This step ensures the foundation is perfectly flat and smooth before we apply any coatings. Once the patch cures, we sand it down until it blends seamlessly with the surrounding material.
Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically fuses the new finish to the old substrate. This advanced chemical bond prevents future peeling and keeps the coating locked tight for years. Without this critical step, the new finish would bubble and lift off when exposed to hot bathwater.
Finally, we spray several layers of a premium acrylic polyurethane topcoat using specialized high-volume, low-pressure equipment. This advanced material cures into a hard, glossy shell that resists impact and staining. Then, you are left with a glittering, smooth surface that feels amazing to soak in.
If you choose to replace your old tub, you will quickly realize that the cost of the actual basin is only a tiny fraction of the total bill. You also have to pay for expensive demolition labor, drywall repairs, and professional plumbing hookups. Which means a simple project can easily spiral into a multi-thousand-dollar headache.
On top of that, old homes often have irregular dimensions that make finding a matching replacement tub nearly impossible. This lets you keep your high-quality, heavy original fixture while giving it a gorgeous modern look. You save a mountain of cash and avoid weeks of construction dust in your living space.
To help you compare your options, we put together this simple breakdown of what to expect:
| Project Factor | Surface Restoration (Our Service) | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Highly affordable and budget-friendly | Very expensive with hidden fees |
| Time to Complete | Usually finished in just one single day | Can take up to a week or more |
| Mess and Chaos | Very minimal, we clean up everything | Extensive dust, debris, and noise |
| Durability | Lasts for many years with proper care | Depends on the quality of the new tub |

Indeed, we take immense pride in our attention to detail and never rush through the preparation phases. We protect your floors, walls, and vanity with heavy drop cloths and plastic sheeting before we start. This guarantees that the spray only goes where it is supposed to go.
Now, taking care of your shiny new surface is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, porous tub. Since the new acrylic layer is completely non-porous, dirt and soap residue cannot find a place to stick. You can say goodbye to harsh abrasive powders and painful scrubbing sessions forever.
To keep the shine bright, simply wipe the surface down with a mild liquid dish soap and a soft sponge. This gentle routine preserves the glossy protective layer and prevents tiny scratches from dulling the look. A quick rinse with warm water after your shower keeps it looking perfect.
However, you must avoid using bleach, ammonia, or rough scouring pads on your newly coated fixture. These harsh chemicals can slowly erode the topcoat and ruin the beautiful shine over time. Treat it with a little love, and your restored tub will look incredible for a decade.
Perhaps you have been putting this project off because you dread the thought of pushy salespeople and crazy prices. We promise that our process is completely stress-free, transparent, and designed to fit your unique schedule.

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 Barnett, 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.
