A dull or chipped tub in Calhoun 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.
Do you look at your worn out bathroom fixture and sigh with regret? Luckily, local pros in Ouachita Parish can restore that porcelain beauty without replacing it. This lets you save thousands of dollars while avoiding messy demolition work.
Meanwhile, homeowners in ZIP codes 71225 often face cracked or stained surfaces that ruin morning routines. Fortunately, our skilled team brings tired basins back to life using advanced chemical bonding agents. Which means you get a glossy finish that resists daily wear and tear effortlessly.
Before making any major decisions, you should understand how our surface restoration process actually works. Basically, we strip away old grime, repair chips, and spray a durable acrylic coating. This gives you a factory new look without the massive plumbing headaches.
First off, technicians prep the area by cleaning away years of soap scum and mineral deposits. Subsequently, they apply industrial acid etches to make the old porcelain grip the fresh primer tightly. That ensures your new coating will not peel or bubble over time.
Following that crucial step, specialists spray multiple layers of high-grade aliphatic polyurethane over the basin. Consequently, you receive a slick surface that stops mold growth and makes scrubbing much easier. This lets you enjoy a pristine bathroom without spending hours on your knees.
Now, tearing out a heavy cast iron tub involves destroying tiles, drywall, and subfloors. Instead, spraying a fresh layer right over the existing shell keeps your bathroom completely intact. Therefore, you dodge weeks of noisy construction noise and flying dust.
Plus, the median household income in this charming community sits around one hundred fifty eight thousand dollars. Yet nobody wants to waste hard earned cash on overpriced bathroom renovations. Choosing our local service lets you redirect those funds toward other home improvements.

Living in a quiet town with just over five hundred residents means word travels fast. Because of that reputation matters deeply to our hardworking crew. We treat every single project with the utmost care and respect.
Beyond that, older homes often feature vintage tubs with unique depths that modern manufacturers simply do not make anymore. Preserving these classic fixtures adds authentic character to your living space. Which means you keep your home unique while upgrading its visual appeal.
Furthermore, standard cleaning products often fail to remove stubborn rust rings or permanent yellow stains. Rather than living with that eyeshore, you can request a total transformation in under twenty four hours. This lets you host guests proudly without making excuses for your bathroom.
Naturally, people wonder if sprayed coatings hold up against heavy daily usage from kids and pets. Modern chemical formulations create molecular bonds that rival original manufacturer finishes. That means normal bath toys and slipping feet will not damage your investment easily.
Equally important, proper maintenance extends the lifespan of your newly gleaming basin for many years. You simply avoid abrasive scouring pads and harsh chemical bleach formulas. By following these easy tips, your fixture stays shiny and smooth.
Southern humidity can wreak havoc on certain porous bathroom materials if they lack proper sealing. Fortunately, our moisture resistant finishes lock out dampness completely. Therefore, you never have to worry about peeling paint or hidden mold pockets.
Additionally, seasonal temperature shifts cause old houses to settle and shift slightly. Our flexible polyurethane coatings expand and contract naturally with those tiny structural movements. This prevents unsightly spiderweb cracks from forming across the bottom.
Realizing your bathroom needs an upgrade is the first hurdle toward a better home environment. Now is the ideal moment to deal with those embarrassing stains once and for all. You deserve a relaxing space to unwind after a long workday.
Instead of guessing about costs or timelines, you can reach out for professional guidance right away. Our team happily evaluates your specific situation without charging a single penny. This lets you plan your budget accurately before committing to any work.
Getting started takes only a few moments of your time today. Simply send us a message to schedule your free quote and consultation. We look forward to making your bathroom shine brilliantly once again.
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 Calhoun, 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.
