A dull or chipped tub in Boger City 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.
Have you ever stared at your worn-out, stained tub and wished it looked brand new again? You can transform that eyesore into a shiny centerpiece by choosing a professional restoration service instead of a full tear-out.
Essentially, this specialized service involves applying a highly durable, liquid polymer coating to your existing unit. This creates a fresh, glossy finish that makes the old material look like it just came off the assembly line. Because we strip away the years of soap scum and mineral deposits, the bond becomes incredibly strong and resistant.
Whenever you decide to hire a local pro for this task, you avoid the messy demolition that usually ruins your day. Instead of weeks of construction noise, you get a beautiful upgrade in just a single day. Which means you save a massive amount of time and avoid the headache of a massive renovation project.
Living here in Lincoln County means you appreciate folks who show up on time and do quality work. When you choose a nearby provider, you support someone who understands the specific housing styles found around ZIP codes like 28092. You get a personalized touch that giant national chains simply cannot offer you during a service call.
Moreover, working with someone local gives you peace of mind that help is always just a short drive away. Since our community is small, with a population hovering around 554, reputation is everything to us. This ensures that you receive the highest level of care and attention to detail possible.
Most people assume that replacing a tub costs a fortune, but you might be surprised by the savings. By opting for a professional finish update, you typically pay a fraction of the price of a total bathroom overhaul. This leaves you with extra cash for other home improvements, like new tile or fresh paint.
Besides the cash savings, you also save your sanity by avoiding a long, dusty project. Replacing a tub requires plumbers, haulers, and potentially new floor tiles if the old ones get damaged. With our approach, we leave the plumbing untouched and simply polish the existing structure to a perfect sheen.
After we apply the specialty coating, your unit gains a protective shield that resists chips and cracks. This material is designed to handle daily use while maintaining its smooth, pleasant touch for many years. It is much easier to clean than porous, old porcelain, which tends to hold onto grime and bacteria.
Furthermore, you eliminate the constant scrubbing required for those deep, stubborn stains that never seem to go away. Since the surface becomes non-porous again, water and soap just slide right off during your routine cleaning. This gives you a sense of ease that makes your daily life feel much more manageable.
| Feature | Surface Renewal | Total Replacement | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time Required | A few hours | Several days or weeks | |
| Mess Level | Minimal | High construction debris | |
| Cost | Low budget friendly | Expensive | |
| Plumbing | No disconnection needed | Major plumbing work |
Clearly, the choice is simple when you look at the facts laid out in front of you. You get a brand new look without the stress of tearing up your bathroom subfloor. Also, you get to keep the original quality of your older cast iron or steel fixture.
Sometimes people worry that the finish will peel off after a few months of usage. However, when a pro uses high-quality industrial chemicals, the bond is virtually permanent and incredibly tough. If you follow the simple care instructions, your investment stays shiny and smooth for years.
Another misconception is that the process smells bad during the application stage. While there is a chemical scent, we use professional ventilation equipment to clear the air quickly and effectively. Before you know it, you are ready to enjoy your transformed space with a feeling of deep satisfaction.
Now that you know how the process works, you might wonder how to get started. All you have to do is reach out to a local professional to schedule an appointment for a free, no-obligation estimate. We will come out to your property, inspect the condition of your unit, and explain exactly what we can achieve.
Because we operate right here in North Carolina, we are very familiar with the local median household income and want to help you maximize your budget. You deserve to have a beautiful home that makes you feel happy every time you step into the room. We want to be the ones who help you achieve that vision.
Before we arrive, you should remove all personal items like shampoos, soaps, and bath toys from the vicinity. This allows us to move freely and focus entirely on the surface preparation without any distractions. It also protects your personal belongings from any dust or spray during the application process.
On the day of the appointment, make sure your bathroom is clear and accessible for our equipment. We typically need a small workspace for our sprayers and protective gear to ensure a flawless finish. Once we finish the job, you will be amazed at the difference it makes in your daily routine.
We believe in doing the job right the first time because we live among our neighbors. When you see your friends and family in town, you want to know that the work you did on your house meets a high standard. That is why we take our time to prep the surface thoroughly before applying any coatings.
If you have deep scratches or chips, we fill those in before the final step to ensure a perfectly smooth finish. This attention to detail creates a level of visual harmony that makes your bathroom look like it belongs in a magazine. You will love how much better your morning feels in a clean, bright space.
Improving your home does not just raise the property value, it improves your mood. Walking into a bright, clean, and modern-looking bathroom changes how you start your morning every single day. Instead of looking at old, dingy surfaces, you see a crisp and inviting area that reflects your style.
Plus, you can enjoy the pride that comes with maintaining your property effectively without overspending. This is the smartest way to manage your home maintenance while still getting the results you want. You get the quality you need without the unnecessary expense of a total renovation.

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 Boger City, 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.
