A dull or chipped tub in Buna 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.

Replacing an old tub sounds easy until you realize the old beast is literally cemented behind your gorgeous tile walls. Once you start ripping things out, you quickly find hidden water damage, mold, and plumbing issues that blow your budget sky-high. Furthermore, you will be without a working bathroom for weeks while different subcontractors drift in and out of your house.
On the other hand, our specialized surface restoration process takes less than a day from start to finish. We carefully clean the old area, repair any deep gouges, and spray a high-tech bonding agent before applying the final glossy acrylic protective layer. This means you can actually use your upgraded shower again within twenty-four hours instead of waiting weeks.
To help you compare your options, we put together this quick breakdown of how our fast renewal service stacks up against traditional replacement:
| Project Factor | Full Replacement | Our Surface Renewal |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High ($3,000 - $8,000) | Very Low and Budget-Friendly |
| Time to Complete | One to two weeks of mess | Under four to six hours |
| Durability | Depends on the new material | Excellent with proper care |
As you can see, choosing to update what you already have is the most logical path for your wallet. Why pay for expensive plumbing rerouting when your current layout already works perfectly fine for your daily needs?
First, we strip away all the old caulk and use heavy-duty cleaners to dissolve years of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This step is super critical because any leftover residue will prevent our new coatings from sticking properly to the original porcelain or acrylic surface. Next, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheets to keep your walls and vanity completely safe from any overspray.
After everything is squeaky clean, we patch up those annoying chips, rust spots, and deep scratches with a specialized polyester filler. Then, we apply a mild acid etching agent to create microscopic pores in the original glaze, which acts like tiny anchors for our materials. This step ensures that the new finish bonds on a molecular level so it will never peel or bubble up later.
Now, we spray multiple coats of a high-performance topcoat using professional spray equipment for an incredibly smooth, mirror-like shine. This material cures into an incredibly hard surface that resists future stains and makes cleaning a total breeze for you. Once we finish up, we remove all our tape and plastic, leaving your bathroom cleaner than we found it.
Living in a cozy community of about 1,891 people means word travels fast, so we always treat your home with the utmost respect. Many families in the local 77612 ZIP code area are working hard with a median household income of $50,156, which makes smart home investments extremely important. We love helping our neighbors in this beautiful part of the Lone Star State save their hard-earned cash while still enjoying a gorgeous home.
Because we operate right here in Southeast Texas, we understand the unique water chemistry and high humidity levels that can wear down bathroom fixtures. Our high-grade materials are specifically formulated to withstand these tough conditions without yellowing or cracking over time. You get the peace of mind that comes from supporting a local business that genuinely cares about the community.
Plus, we do not believe in pushy sales tactics or hidden fees when we come out to look at your project. We simply inspect your fixture, explain what needs to be done, and hand you a straightforward written quote that stays accurate.
To keep your refreshed basin looking spectacular, you should avoid using abrasive powder cleansers or harsh scrubbing pads that can dull the shine. Instead, use mild liquid dish soaps or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners along with a soft microfiber cloth to wipe things down. This simple routine protects the protective topcoat and keeps that brilliant luster sparkling like new for a decade or more.
Another great tip is to fix leaky faucets quickly so constant dripping does not wear down the finish prematurely. Also, try to avoid leaving wet washcloths or heavy shampoo bottles sitting directly on the ledge for long periods. These easy habits will protect your investment and keep your bathroom looking like a high-end retreat without any extra effort.
If you are ready to say goodbye to that ugly, hard-to-clean surface, we are here to make it happen. Reach out to us today to get your completely free, no-obligation estimate, and let us bring the shine back to your home!
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 Buna, 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.
