A dull or chipped tub in Broward Estates 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 your old tub looks like a relic from a bad seventies movie. Then you probably think a sledgehammer is your only real option. However, we can completely transform that stained, chipped surface right in your home. This means you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on messy demolition work.
Actually, many homeowners do not realize that the original heavy iron or steel fixtures are much better quality than the flimsy plastic units sold today. By choosing to restore the protective outer coat, you keep that rock-solid foundation. Which means you save a massive amount of cash while keeping a classic piece of American manufacturing in your house.
Naturally, our skilled team specializes in applying a durable, high-gloss synthetic finish that bonds directly to your existing fixture. This process makes the surface look incredibly bright and fresh again. Consequently, you get a clean and sparkling wash area that feels brand new without the headache of weeks of construction noise.
If you want to know how much this simple upgrade costs, we are happy to give you a free estimate on your project. Our local team travels all over the neighborhood to evaluate your bathroom and explain our safe, step-by-step procedure. Ultimately, we love showing people how easy it is to fall in love with their home all over again.
| Project Steps | Complete Replacement Route | Our Professional Resurfacing Route |
|---|---|---|
| Demolition Work | Messy wall tearing, heavy lifting, high disposal fees | None required, zero dust, original structure stays put |
| Plumbing Adjustments | Expensive pipe rerouting and new valve installations | No plumbing changes needed, fixtures stay connected |
| Time to Complete | Usually takes three to seven days of noisy labor | Finished in just a few hours and ready to use quickly |
| Average Expense | Extremely high cost when adding tile and wall repairs | Highly affordable, saving you up to seventy percent |
When you start tearing out a solid cast iron basin, you quickly realize it is never a simple job. For instance, the old tiles surrounding the basin almost always break during the removal process. This situation forces you to hire tile installers, dry-wallers, and plumbers just to fix the damage caused by the demolition.
On top of that, those unexpected expenses can easily double your initial budget in the blink of an eye. In contrast, our localized restoration service targets only the worn-out top coat of your fixture. Therefore, you avoid the domino effect of home renovation bills and keep your hard-earned money in your wallet.
Indeed, the savings are so significant that most homeowners can upgrade their entire bathroom decor with the leftover cash. Perhaps you want new lighting or a modern vanity to match your shiny restored basin. We help you achieve that dream by keeping the most expensive part of the project surprisingly affordable.
First, we clean the old porcelain using specialized industrial cleaners that strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures that the new coating will adhere perfectly to the original material. If we skip this part, the new finish would peel off like a cheap sticker after a few hot showers.
Next, we apply a professional acid etching compound to create microscopic pores on the smooth ceramic surface. This process gives the new coating something strong to grab onto, which creates a permanent mechanical bond. We take our time during this phase because proper preparation is the absolute secret to a long-lasting finish.
After etching, we carefully fill any deep scratches, rust spots, or chips with a waterproof polyester putty. Once we sand these repairs flat, the damaged areas completely disappear under our hands. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that the final surface looks perfectly smooth and uniform.
Finally, we use a professional spray system to apply multiple layers of a high-tech acrylic urethane coating. This material cures into a rock-hard shield that resists scratches, impacts, and daily wear. As a result, you get a gorgeous, glossy wash basin that looks like it just came from the showroom floor.
Living in this beautiful part of Broward County means enjoying sunny days and cozy neighborhoods filled with classic homes. With a local population of 3,416 residents, our community appreciates hard work, honest pricing, and reliable local businesses. We take pride in serving this tight-knit Florida area with top-notch home improvement services.

We know you do not want to waste your savings on overpriced remodeling companies that drag their feet. That is why we offer fast, friendly service that respects both your time and your budget.
Furthermore, we understand the unique climate challenges of the Sunshine State, where high humidity can make bathroom maintenance a real chore. Our premium coatings are specifically designed to resist mold, mildew, and yellowing over time. Because of this, cleaning your bathroom becomes incredibly easy, requiring nothing more than a quick wipe with a mild soap.
If you are ready to update your space, we can easily stop by your home to provide a completely free quote. Our team loves meeting neighbors and helping them find the most practical, cost-effective solutions for their outdated bathrooms. Let us show you why so many families in the area trust us with their home improvement needs.
Once we finish our magic, maintaining that brilliant shine is actually very simple. For example, you must avoid abrasive scrubbing powders or harsh bleach products that can dull the glossy finish. Instead, a gentle spray cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth will keep the surface looking brand new with minimal effort.
Additionally, keeping your dripping faucets repaired is a great way to protect your new investment over the long haul. Constant water dripping can slowly wear down even the toughest coatings over several years. By taking care of small plumbing leaks early, you ensure your restored basin stays immaculate for a decade or more.
To help you feel completely confident, we provide clear care instructions and stand behind our craftsmanship with a solid warranty. We believe in building lasting relationships with our clients by offering honest advice and exceptional service.

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 Broward Estates, 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.
