A dull or chipped tub in Bayou Goula 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.
Look, your old worn bathroom fixture probably looks terrible right now. Fortunately, restoring that faded surface gives you a clean look without breaking your bank account. Actually, getting a free estimate today helps you fix up your home real quick.
Look, nobody likes staring at ugly stains while trying to take a nice bath. Honestly, those deep scratches on your hard cast iron tub collect dirt super fast. Naturally, this makes your whole washroom feel kind of gross even after you scrub it hard.
Luckily, you do not have to rip out the entire fixture to make things look brand new again. To be honest, tearing out heavy plumbing creates a huge mess inside your house. Plus, it costs a ton of money that you could spend on way better stuff.
Instead, applying a strong new coating makes the old composite material shine like new. Furthermore, this fast method saves you thousands of bucks compared to full replacement. Frankly, you get a slick look without dealing with noisy demolition crews for weeks.
Believe it or not, home upgrades in Iberville Parish can get crazy expensive real quick. Honestly, I live right around here too, so I know how fast bills add up. Truth is, replacing heavy porcelain structures usually requires hiring extra helpers and expensive plumbers.
Actually, local homeowners near the Mississippi River deal with severe humidity that ruins old fixtures fast. By the way, this small community of about 442 people deserves fair prices on home repairs. For real, saving your hard-earned dollars feels great when fixing up an older house in ZIP code 70716.
For this reason, refinishing your existing basin offers a super smart shortcut for your family budget. On top of that, your median household income goes much further when you repair instead of buying new. Simply put, getting a fresh sprayed finish delivers high luxury without the terrifying price tag.
First, we thoroughly scrub the entire basin using strong special cleaners to remove soap scum. Next, my crew sands down the smooth glaze so the fresh chemicals stick really well. Clearly, this step stops future peeling so your smooth basin stays looking totally fresh.
After that, we fix every single chip using a special filler compound made for heavy tubs. Then, we apply a high-tech bonding primer clear across the repaired surface. Beyond that, this liquid sticky layer makes sure the final coat grips tight for many years.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of durable topcoat liquid acrylic over the whole thing. As a result, you get a deep shine that looks just like brand new factory glass. Eventually, the tough finish cures hard so you can jump back in real fast.
| Upgrade Factor | Full Replacement | Surface Refinishing |
|---|---|---|
| Project Cost | Super Expensive | Very Affordable |
| Total Time | One or Two Weeks | Just One Day |
| Mess Level | Dust Everywhere | Clean and Easy |
Clearly, choosing to recoat saves you a massive amount of stress and messy cleanup time. Furthermore, keeping your old heavy basin keeps solid original materials out of our local garbage dumps. Indeed, eco-friendly choices like this help keep our parish clean and green for everyone.
Besides, high quality cast iron holds heat way better than cheap new plastic replacements do. That is why keeping your heavy old unit makes your evening bath stay hot much longer. Consequently, you save energy while relaxing in warm water after a super long workday.
Likewise, modern acrylic spray mixtures resist yellowing even when exposed to bright sunlight. On top of that, the slick non-porous layer stops nasty mildew from hiding inside microscopic cracks. Therefore, wiping down the shiny surface takes like two minutes during your regular weekly routine.
Look, doing this job right takes specialized equipment and a whole lot of practice. Honestly, trying those cheap store kits usually ends up in a huge sticky peeling disaster. Frankly, my crew brings high powered exhaust fans so your home smells completely fine during application.
To be fair, I made some silly mistakes on my very first project years ago. Nowadays, our crew knows every secret trick to make the high gloss layer sit completely flat. Naturally, we treat your house with total respect and clean up every bit of trash.
Additionally, we understand the specific water conditions down here in southern Louisiana homes. Because of that, we use industrial bonding liquids specifically designed to fight off tropical room moisture. Ultimately, this local knowledge keeps your smooth finish stuck tight through hundreds of hot showers.
First off, throw away those harsh abrasive scouring powders immediately after we finish spraying. Instead, use gentle liquid soap with a soft sponge to preserve the bright gloss finish. Obviously, avoiding harsh scratchy pads stops tiny scuffs from dulling out that lovely shiny topcoat.
Next, fix any dripping faucets right away so standing water does not sit near the drain. Actually, constant water leaks can slowly erode even the strongest synthetic liquid coats over time. Consequently, a tight valve prolongs the life of your fresh shiny surface for a decade.
Furthermore, avoid putting heavy rubber suction mats directly onto the bottom of the basin. Truth is, those tight rubber cups trap wet moisture underneath and weaken the fresh bottom chemical layer. Rather, use a soft fabric bath mat that you take out after every single shower.
Imagine walking into your washroom tomorrow and seeing a bright clear fixture shining bright. Honestly, that ugly yellowed plastic look disappears completely under our high grade modern liquid topcoat. Plus, your guests will think you dropped thousands on a custom bathroom overhaul.
Surprisingly, the entire spraying service usually takes less than six full hours from start to finish. Therefore, you do not have to leave your house or sleep at some expensive hotel room. Indeed, you get your main bathroom back up and running by the very next morning.
On top of that, a sparkling clean washroom increases your overall home value if you ever sell. Clearly, buyers love seeing slick clean surfaces instead of old rusty metal peeking through cracked glaze. So, investing a small amount today brings great equity gains to your local property value.
Look, getting a price check costs you absolutely nothing and takes just a few quick minutes. Honestly, we come right out to your property to inspect your old worn basin in person. Naturally, we give you a plain straightforward quote without any weird hidden charges tacked on later.

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 Bayou Goula, 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.
