A dull or chipped tub in Bayonet Point 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 look at that stained basin every morning and wish for a fresh start without paying thousands? Well, transforming your worn-out wash station into a shiny masterpiece is totally possible right here in the Sunshine State. This lets you save loads of cash while keeping your bathroom looking gorgeous and clean.
Actually, replacing a heavy porcelain shell takes forever and makes a giant mess in your hallway. Luckily, spraying a fresh polymer coating over your existing fixture gives you stunning results in just a single day. Which means you skip the annoying demolition dust entirely.
Naturally, people wonder if this magic spray actually holds up against daily scrubbing and hot water. Truthfully, modern bonding agents create a chemical weld that sticks tighter than gum on a hot sidewalk. This ensures your investment lasts for many years without peeling or chipping.
First off, skilled technicians clean your porcelain thoroughly to strip away years of soap scum and body oils. Then they apply a heavy-duty acid etch to open up the microscopic pores in the surface. This creates a sticky foundation so the new coating never lets go.
Next, workers mask off your surrounding tile and floors to protect your entire bathroom from stray overspray. After that, they spray multiple layers of high-grade acrylic polyurethane through a specialized high-volume low-pressure gun. This gives you a smooth finish that feels amazing against your skin during evening soaks.
Living near the coast brings plenty of humidity that loves to ruin old caulking and rust out metal drains. Fortunately, our local service area includes wonderful neighborhoods nestled in Pasco County where folks appreciate a good bargain. Right here in this vibrant census-designated place of twenty-six thousand seven hundred forty residents, home improvement costs matter a lot.
With a median household income hovering around thirty-seven thousand nine hundred two dollars, stretching every single dollar is smart. Therefore, spending a fraction of replacement costs makes total financial sense for your family budget. Plus, you get to keep your original vintage cast iron structure instead of tossing it into a landfill.
Zip codes like three hundred eighty-six sixty-seven and surrounding zones get fast visits from our friendly mobile crews every single week. On top of that, nobody wants to deal with contractors who leave a giant mess behind on their tile floors. Fortunately, our team cleans up everything before leaving so your home stays pristine.
Many folks assume that painted fixtures will peel off the very first time you take a hot shower. However, professional refinishing uses industrial catalysts rather than standard wall paint from the local hardware store. This creates a hardened armor that stands up bravely to bath toys and soapy paws.
Another big worry is the strong chemical smell during the actual spraying process of your tub basin. Thankfully, powerful ventilation fans pull all the fumes right out the window while the coating cures. Consequently, your house stays smelling fresh without any lingering chemical odors.
When your bathing area looks tired, you generally face three distinct paths for fixing the problem. Here is a quick breakdown to help you pick the best route for your household.
| Option | Average Cost | Time Required | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Five Thousand Dollars | One to Two Weeks | Extreme Dust and Debris |
| Acrylic Liner Insert | Three Thousand Dollars | Two Days | Moderate Installation Work |
| Professional Spraying | Under Six Hundred Dollars | Just One Day | Zero Demolition Mess |
Looking at these numbers makes the smart choice pretty obvious for most budget-conscious homeowners. Specifically, professional spraying gives you maximum visual impact for minimum cash out of your pocket.
Before the technicians arrive at your door, you need to clear all personal items off the edges. Take away shampoo bottles, soap dishes, and hanging caddies so the workspace stays completely wide open. This lets the guys move fast and get right to work without tripping over your rubber ducks.
Additionally, you must keep pets and kids away from the bathroom while the fumes settle down. Closing all interior doors helps isolate the work zone from the rest of your living space. Which means your family stays safe and comfortable throughout the entire project.
After the new coating cures fully, you need to use gentle cleaning products to protect the gloss. Avoid abrasive scouring powders that act like sandpaper on your newly sprayed porcelain surface. Instead, grab a soft sponge and mild dish soap to wipe away dirt easily.
Furthermore, fix any leaky faucets right away so dripping water does not stain the fresh white finish. Small habits like this keep your upgrade looking brand new for a very long time. Naturally, taking care of your investment saves you from needing another service call anytime soon.
Staring at an ugly, rust-stained basin every single day drains the joy right out of your morning routine. Thankfully, you can turn things around by scheduling a visit from our friendly neighborhood crew. This lets you enjoy a gorgeous, gleaming wash station without draining your savings account.

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 Bayonet Point, 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.
