A dull or chipped tub in Baton Rouge 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 get a fast free estimate to transform your old worn bathroom fixture right now. Our local team comes directly to your home to restore that deep shine without forcing you to buy expensive replacements. Your dated tub will look brand new in just one afternoon.
First off, pulling out a heavy tub ruins your floor and costs way too much money. Naturally, taking the easy path saves your hard-earned cash while giving you amazing cosmetic results. Our specialized surface refinishing process brings back that factory gloss without knocking out a single wall tile.
Actually, nobody wants workers messing up their house for whole weeks. For that reason, our swift spray application gets done in hours so you can shower again tomorrow. You avoid massive contractor bills and skip the insane mess of full demolition projects.
Believe me, I once tried scrubbing an ancient iron tub with bleach for five straight hours. Frankly, the stained enamel stayed ugly and my lungs burned from toxic chemicals. Then we sprayed a heavy duty resin coating over it, and my wife thought I bought a fresh tub from the hardware store.
Honestly, those vintage cast iron units hold heat way better than modern cheap acrylic tubs. Consequently, locking in that tough base layer with an advanced acrylic polymer topcoat gives you total cozy warmth during bath time. You keep your rock-solid tub while updating its look completely.
Suddenly, those weird pastel pink or mustard yellow colors from seventy years ago fade away forever. As a result, choosing a clean bright white tone modernizes the whole space instantly. It makes your daily routine feel far more cozy and fresh.
To be clear, microscopic pores in aging enamel trap gross grime and dark soap scum. Luckily, our smooth protective barrier seals off every single tiny hole on that tired surface. Cleaning takes about two minutes using just a soft sponge and mild soap.
Before anything else, deep prep work makes or breaks the final bond. That is why we etch the underlying area using strong chemical acid prep solutions. This roughs up the slick glaze so our high tech bonding agent grips real tight.
Afterwards, we fill in every deep chip and tiny crack with durable resin filler. Because of this, the final layer lays completely flat across the entire inner basin. You will never feel a weird scratch under your feet again.
Furthermore, our guys mask off your tile walls, chrome faucets, and vinyl floor using heavy paper. In addition, we set up powerful exhaust fans to pull fumes outside through the window. Your home stays totally clean and safe throughout the whole appointment.
Initially, we wipe down the clean structure with pure acetone to strip away oils. Next, an industrial silane coupling agent goes on to act like superglue for liquids. Your top finish will not peel off when you run hot water.
Subsequently, three thick coats of high build aliphatic polyurethane spray are meticulously applied. Above all, this chemical blend resists heavy impact damage and harsh water mineral stains. The glossy surface stays bright and tough against everyday wear.
Obviously, you want to know how much cash stays in your wallet. So, looking at the numbers helps you make a super smart choice for your house budget. Check out this quick breakdown below to see why surface restoration wins every time.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time Needed | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Complete Replacement | High Cost | 1 Week | Dust Everywhere |
| Plastic Bath Liner | Medium Cost | 2 Days | Trapped Moisture |
| Professional Surface Refinishing | Low Cost | 4 Hours | Very Little Mess |
Clearly, full tear-out jobs destroy your bathroom walls and plumbing pipes. Meanwhile, plastic inserts often trap gross water underneath them which breeds nasty hidden mold. Refinishing avoids those hidden nightmares entirely while saving your cash.
Granted, living in East Baton Rouge Parish brings heavy humidity that attacks household finishes inside homes. Besides that, mineral content in local water supplies slowly wears down cheap porcelain coatings over time. Our custom coating formula stands up against harsh local water conditions without flaking.
Additionally, hard water deposits form dark rusty stains around the drain opening fast. Thankfully, our smooth glaze stops rust blooms from bleeding through the glossy finish. Your tub retains its pristine shiny look even with heavy daily use.
Plus, older homes near downtown around 70801 often feature heavy built-in iron basins that are hard to move. Similarly, suburban properties across 70802, 70803, and 70804 usually have original bath fixtures that just need minor cosmetic repairs. Spraying the existing unit makes total sense for every neighborhood in our city of 225,362 residents.
To tell you the truth, those cheap epoxy kits from big box stores are a total trap. Sadly, store paint rolls on thick, brush marks stay visible, and the finish peels off in three months. Professional gear uses high pressure air sprayers that create a glass smooth finish.
In fact, store bought chemical fumes will make your head spin real fast. On the flip side, our team brings industrial exhaust machines that push heavy odors far away from your bedrooms. You stay totally safe and comfortable while we do the hard work.
Mind you, fixing a botched DIY attempt costs extra money because we have to strip off that sticky store paint first. Therefore, letting seasoned pros handle the job from day one saves you huge headaches down the line. You get guaranteed long lasting results without wasting your weekend.
Right after we finish, let the fresh chemical topcoat cure completely for twenty four hours. Afterwards, throw away those harsh abrasive bleaching powders forever because they scratch soft gloss coatings. Simple liquid soap keeps the deep shine glowing bright for decades.
Also, avoid using heavy rubber suction bath mats inside the shiny basin area. To solve this, we can spray a fine slip resistant texture directly onto the bottom floor during our visit. You get awesome safety without ruining the durable finish underneath.
Moreover, local households with a median income around $41,761 need smart home improvement solutions that stretch dollars further. Spending thousands on a single bathroom remodel just does not make financial sense for most families. Refinishing frees up your money for other crucial house repairs.
Likewise, smart real estate investors use our speedy cosmetic spraying service to flip rental units super fast. Clean sparkling white bathrooms attract high quality tenants who respect your property. Your rental income starts flowing without long vacancy delays.
Besides, if you sell your home soon, an ugly chipped tub hurts your valuation during buyer tours. Instantly, our shiny high gloss coating creates that pristine model home look buyers fall in love with. You boost home equity without burning through your savings account.
Naturally, working with neighborhood technicians who understand local plumbing setups gives you complete peace of mind. For instance, we know exactly how to handle stubborn old brass drains without breaking pipes under the floor. Our friendly techs treat your house with absolute respect from start to finish.
Indeed, we show up right on time with all the proper industrial equipment ready to rock. Beyond that, our crew cleans up every scrap of tape and paper before leaving your driveway. You are left with a sparkling room and zero mess to sweep.
Ultimately, getting a gorgeous tub should be totally easy and cheap for everyone. That is why we offer simple upfront pricing with zero hidden fees or surprise charges later. You know the exact cost before we ever open a tool box.
So, stop staring at that dingy stained bath basin every single morning. Today, you can take action and completely revamp your space without spending a fortune. Reach out to our friendly crew right away to claim your free estimate.
Remember, setting up an estimate takes just two minutes of your time. Our local technician will check out your bathtub, answer every single question, and hand you an exact quote on the spot. Transform your home today with the simple click of a button.
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 Baton Rouge, 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.
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.
