A dull or chipped tub in Black Jack 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.
Your old tub probably looks pretty rough after years of daily scrubbings. Scratchy surfaces collect dirt like a magnet and make your whole bathroom feel dingy. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to fix this annoying issue. A quick and smart surface renewal can make that stained basin shine like new in just one day.

Our specialized local service restores the gorgeous, glossy finish right where it sits. This saves you a mountain of cash while delivering a beautiful, sparkling result that feels incredibly smooth to the touch.
Taking action now prevents water from seeping into worn, porous cast iron or acrylic. We want to help you fall in love with your home again without breaking the bank. By requesting a free estimate today, you can easily find out how affordable this dramatic transformation really is.
Let us face the honest truth about modern home remodeling projects. Total bathroom renovations often spiral out of control and take weeks to finish.

This smart choice keeps your daily routine running smoothly without any major disruptions.
That gives you a firm number to plan around, with nothing owed until you approve. To help you compare your options, we put together a simple breakdown of what to expect during this process.
| Project Factor | Complete Replacement | Professional Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High ($3,000 - $6,000) | Very Low and Budget-Friendly |
| Time to Complete | 3 to 5 Days of Noise | Around 4 to 6 Hours |
| Mess and Dust | Extremely Dirty Demolition | Virtually None |
This handy table highlights how much time and money you actually save. Beyond the direct financial savings, you also keep heavy construction waste out of our local landfills. It is a win for your wallet and a great choice for the environment too.
First, we meticulously clean the entire area to remove every single trace of soap scum and body oils. This crucial step ensures the new bonding agents stick permanently to the original porcelain or fiberglass. We use industrial-strength cleaners that strip away decades of buildup in just minutes.
Next, we carefully repair any deep chips, ugly cracks, or rusty spots that ruin the look of your basin. We fill these damaged areas with a specialized polyester putty that cures incredibly fast. After sanding those spots perfectly flat, the damaged areas completely vanish under the new layers.
Then, we apply a high-performance chemical bonding agent to lock the new materials together. This secret weapon creates a molecular bridge between the old surface and the fresh topcoat. Without this vital step, the new finish would quickly bubble and peel off when exposed to hot bathwater.
After completing the prep work, we mask off the entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets. This careful preparation prevents any overspray from landing on your vanity, toilet, or tiled walls. We also set up a powerful exhaust fan to pull odors out of your house while we work.
Now, we spray several coats of a premium aliphatic polyurethane coating using professional HVLP spray equipment. This advanced material creates an incredibly hard, non-porous barrier that looks identical to brand new baked-on enamel. The final result delivers an amazing luster and a highly durable finish that lasts for many years.
Maintaining that brilliant shine requires very little effort on your part. You must avoid using abrasive scrubbing powders or harsh bleach products because they can dull the protective topcoat over time. Simply wiping down the surface with a mild liquid dish soap and a soft sponge keeps it looking pristine.
On top of that, you should never leave wet shampoo bottles or heavy toys sitting on the rim. Standing water underneath plastic bottles can eventually weaken the chemical bond of the new finish. A little bit of basic care ensures your beautiful basin remains a highlight of your home for a decade.
Which means you get to enjoy a sparkling clean bathroom every single day without stressful scrubbing sessions. This incredibly smooth surface resists dirt and mildew, making your weekly cleaning chores a breeze. You will actually look forward to soaking in your beautiful, refreshed tub after a long day of work.

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 Black Jack, 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.
