All over Berkeley County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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You look at your stained washbasin or that outdated tub every single morning and probably feel a little bit of despair. Replacing those heavy cast iron or acrylic fixtures costs a fortune and tears your home apart for weeks. Fortunately, a smart local alternative exists to renew those worn surfaces in just one day without any messy demolition.
Our skilled crew travels right to your home to handle this specialized spray-on restoration process. By choosing this modern resurfacing method, you save thousands of dollars compared to a traditional remodel. You can grab a free estimate today to see how affordable your dream bathroom actually is.
This budget-friendly surface renewal process works wonders on chipped, faded, or discolored tubs and showers. We chemically clean the old porcelain or fiberglass before applying a durable, high-tech bonding agent and a glossy topcoat. This means you get a sparkling, clean setup that looks brand new without the headache of hiring plumbers and contractors.
Many homeowners confuse this deep restoration work with cheap DIY paint kits that peel off within a month. Our professional method involves heavy-duty industrial coatings and specialized ventilation equipment to ensure a flawless bond. Because we use commercial-grade materials, your renewed fixture resists chipping and staining for many years to come.
To help you compare your options, we put together a quick breakdown of how our process matches up against a full replacement.
| Factor | Professional Surface Restoration | Full Fixture Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Project Time | Finished in 4 to 6 hours | Usually takes 3 to 7 days |
| Average Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with plumbing fees |
| Mess Level | Virtually zero dust or debris | High plaster dust and broken tiles |
| Durability | Lasts 10 to 15 years with basic care | Long-term but high upfront cost |
As you can see, opting to recoat your existing fixture saves time, money, and your sanity. On top of that, you avoid the risk of discovering hidden water damage behind your walls during a demolition. Which means you keep your hard-earned money in your pocket while still enjoying a stunning bathroom upgrade.
Before we ever open a can of our high-grade coating, we spend hours preparing the workspace to protect your home. We mask off your floors, walls, and vanity to ensure no overspray lands where it should not. After that, we apply a specialized acid etch or mechanical abrasion to create a porous surface for the new finish to grip.
This critical step removes decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits that ruin ordinary paint. If your tub has deep chips or rust spots around the drain, we patch those areas with waterproof fillers. This prep work guarantees a smooth, level base so the final coat looks absolutely perfect.
Once the surface is completely dry and clean, we apply a proprietary chemical bonding agent to the substrate. This clever liquid acts like a super-glue at a microscopic level, fusing the old surface with the new topcoat. Without this step, the fresh finish would simply bubble and peel off the moment you run hot water.
Our experienced technicians wear protective gear and use professional exhaust fans to pull fumes out of your house. This setup keeps your indoor air clean while the chemicals cure. You will appreciate the speed and efficiency of our team as they transform your space.
Next, we use high-volume, low-pressure spray guns to apply multiple layers of an acrylic urethane coating. This material mimics the original factory finish, providing a deep, rich gloss that looks just like real porcelain. We carefully build up the thickness to ensure maximum durability against daily wear and tear.
This premium coat seals out moisture and prevents mold or mildew from taking hold in porous old acrylic. You get a sleek, non-porous surface that is incredibly easy to wipe down with a mild soap. This means you can finally throw away those harsh abrasive scrubbers that ruin your back.

To keep your sparkling new finish looking fresh, you only need to follow a few simple maintenance guidelines. First, you should avoid using abrasive cleaners like bleach, Comet, or steel wool pads on the surface. Instead, we recommend gentle liquid dish soaps or non-abrasive bathroom sprays applied with a soft sponge.
Second, please do not leave wet bath mats sitting on the bottom of the tub for long periods. The trapped moisture can weaken the bond over time and cause premature peeling. By following these easy tips, you will keep your shower looking bright and clean for well over a decade.
Lastly, remember to fix any leaky faucets promptly to prevent constant dripping from wearing down the finish. A slow drip can eventually erode even the toughest coatings over several years of neglect. Taking care of your plumbing helps preserve your beautiful bathroom investment for the long haul.

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, 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.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
