A dull or chipped tub in Big Creek 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.

Maybe you look at your chipped, yellowing cast iron tub every morning and feel a bit of despair. Buying a brand-new replacement might sound easy at first, but the hidden costs of plumbing and tile destruction will quickly add up. Happily, our specialized surface restoration process breathes fresh life into your existing setup without tearing down your walls.
This budget-friendly option lets you bypass the loud, dusty chaos of traditional remodeling altogether. We clean, patch, and coat your worn-out basin right where it sits, which keeps your home clean and quiet. Because of this, you get to enjoy a sparkling, clean bathroom by the very next day.
Actually, many homeowners do not realize how durable these modern liquid coatings can be when applied by a trained hand. We use professional-grade bonding agents that fuse directly with your old porcelain or fiberglass. Consequently, your upgraded fixture resists scratches and maintains its bright shine for many years to come.
Living in our quiet corner of Logan County means appreciating honest work and smart savings that keep more money in your wallet. With a tiny local population of just over a hundred neighbors in the 25505 ZIP code area, we treat every single client like family. Your home deserves the highest quality care available, and we deliver exactly that on every visit.
Since the median household income in this beautiful part of West Virginia requires careful budgeting, avoiding high retail replacement costs is incredibly helpful. Why pay thousands of dollars to a retail store when our refinishing service achieves the exact same look for a fraction of the price? This affordable alternative keeps your hard-earned cash right where it belongs: in your bank account.
On top of that, we know the unique water conditions in our region can sometimes leave stubborn orange iron stains on older surfaces. Our advanced protective topcoats shield your basin from these ugly mineral deposits, making your weekly cleaning chores a total breeze. Thus, you spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemicals.
To help you make the best decision for your home, we put together a quick comparison of the three most common paths. You can see exactly how our specialized sprayed polyurethane coating method stacks up against the alternatives.
| Factor to Consider | Full Replacement | Acrylic Liners | Our Professional Coating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Average Cost | Very High (often $3,000+) | Moderate to High | Highly Affordable |
| Time to Complete | One to two weeks | Several days of waiting | Finished in a single day |
| Mess and Noise | Extreme dust and debris | Moderate noise levels | Virtually no mess left behind |
| Lifespan of Surface | Decades (but very costly) | Water can trap underneath | Excellent longevity with care |
Clearly, choosing to renew what you already own offers the most balanced path forward for your peace of mind and budget. This smart choice eliminates the risk of finding hidden mold or rotten wood behind your bathroom walls during a demolition. Ultimately, you avoid those terrifying surprise bills that contractors love to hand out mid-project.
First, we protect your entire bathroom floors and nearby walls with heavy-duty drop cloths and plastic sheeting. This careful preparation ensures not a single drop of product lands where it should not. Next, we set up a powerful exhaust fan to pull any odors safely out of your home while we work.
Following that, we apply a specialized acid wash to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This critical step opens up the microscopic pores of your old porcelain so our materials can grab hold permanently. If you have any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks, we fill them in with a tough waterproof polyester putty.
Now, we apply our proprietary molecular bonding agent, which acts like a super-strength glue between the old and new layers. After that cures, we spray several coats of our premium acrylic urethane finish using professional high-volume, low-pressure equipment. This advanced tool ensures a perfectly smooth, mirror-like gloss that feels absolutely wonderful to the touch.
By opting for this modern repair method, you save yourself from the nightmare of dealing with unreliable subcontractors who linger in your home for weeks. Our friendly technician arrives on time, works diligently, and packs up everything in a single afternoon. Which means you can get back to your normal daily routine without any annoying disruptions.
Furthermore, this shiny new finish provides a non-porous barrier that prevents mold and mildew from taking root in old hairline cracks. Your family enjoys a much cleaner, more sanitary bathing environment as a result. This added layer of safety brings real peace of mind, especially if you have young children or elderly relatives in the home.
Additionally, keeping your old cast iron or steel fixture out of the local landfill is a wonderful bonus for our beautiful green hills. Recycling your heavy tub in place protects the environment while giving you a luxurious, updated look. You get to enjoy the gorgeous aesthetic of a modern bathroom while keeping your green conscience completely clear.
Once we finish our magic, taking care of your revived surface is incredibly simple and requires very little effort. You must avoid using abrasive powder cleansers or steel wool pads, as these will eventually dull the beautiful high-gloss finish. Instead, a simple spray of mild dish soap or a neutral liquid cleaner works perfectly to wipe away dirt.
For the best results, always rinse the surface with warm water after you take a bath or shower to wash away soap residue. This quick habit prevents soap film from building up and keeps that spectacular shine looking brilliant month after month. Also, remember to repair any leaky faucets quickly, because dripping water over several years can wear down any coating.
Lastly, try not to leave wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting directly on the rim for weeks at a time. Using a hanging shower caddy is a fantastic way to keep your new surface dry and looking pristine. By following these basic guidelines, your beautiful upgrade will look absolutely stellar for a very long time...

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 Big Creek, 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.

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.
