A dull or chipped tub in Blanchard 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.

First of all, ripping out an old tub usually damages your surrounding tiles and plumbing. This unfortunate chain reaction turns a simple weekend project into a massive financial headache. Our specialized surface restoration method keeps your original fixture right where it belongs while making it look brand new.
On top of that, older tubs often feature much stronger materials than the cheap plastic stuff sold in big box stores today. Keeping your sturdy cast iron or heavy steel tub is actually a huge win for your home's value. We apply advanced bonding agents and high-performance acrylic coatings to create a resilient, gorgeous shield.
This means you get a highly durable surface that resists chips and stands up to daily scrubbing. You also save a ton of time because our entire process takes less than a day from start to finish. Plus, keeping that heavy old fixture out of the local landfill is a great bonus for our environment.
| Factor to Consider | Full Replacement Option | Our Professional Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | 3 to 7 days of messy construction | Finished in about 4 to 6 hours |
| Demolition and Mess | High risk of wall and tile damage | No demolition required at all |
| Total Cost Involved | Very expensive plumbing and labor | Highly affordable and budget-friendly |
Before we even open a single bottle of coating, we meticulously clean the entire area to remove decades of soap scum. Any lingering oils or mineral deposits will ruin the bond, so we use industrial-strength cleaners to get it squeaky clean. Then, we carefully repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks with a specialized waterproof filler.
Next, we apply a chemical etching agent that creates microscopic pores on the old porcelain or fiberglass. This crucial step acts like a super-strong grip for our specialized primer, ensuring the new layers never peel or bubble up. After the primer cures, we spray multiple layers of a high-tech topcoat using professional HVLP spray equipment.
Finally, we let the new finish cure into a rock-hard, lustrous surface that looks exactly like brand new porcelain. We always clean up our work area completely so your bathroom looks spotless when we walk out the door. Once it cures for a day, you can jump right in and enjoy a relaxing soak.
Sometimes, water drips from a leaky faucet and leaves those nasty orange stains around your drain. These spots look terrible, but they also slowly eat away at the metal base of your tub. Our technicians grind away that rust and seal the area with a moisture-resistant blocker before applying the new finish.
This stops the decay completely and prevents the rust from bubbling back up through your beautiful new glaze. This extra attention to detail ensures your investment looks fantastic for years down the road. You do not have to stare at those embarrassing brown stains every time you wash your hands.
While classic glossy white is definitely our most popular option, we also offer beautiful modern off-white shades. This flexibility lets you match your existing toilet and sink perfectly without buying a whole new bathroom suite. We help you choose a shade that makes your entire bathroom feel brighter and more inviting.
This simple color update completely changes the vibe of your room, making it feel clean and open. Our premium coatings reflect light beautifully, which helps smaller bathrooms feel much larger than they actually are. You get a high-end look without paying those high-end boutique prices.
To keep that brilliant shine looking fresh, you want to avoid abrasive bleach powders and harsh scrubbing pads. Liquid dish soaps or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners work perfectly to wipe away dirt without scratching the surface. This easy maintenance routine keeps your tub looking like a polished mirror with very little effort.
Also, please make sure you do not leave wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting on the rim for weeks. Standing water under these items can sometimes dull the finish over a long period of time. Taking these simple precautions ensures your restored fixture stays bright and beautiful for up to a decade.
Naturally, we want your home improvement project to last as long as possible, so we explain all these tips in detail. Our local team takes great pride in our craft, and we always stand behind our high-quality work. If you are ready to ditch the grime, reach out to us for a free estimate today.

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 Blanchard, 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.
