All over Catahoula Parish, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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.
Today you want to make your tired soaking basin look brand new again without spending thousands. This smart refinishing option lets you save cash and keeps your bathroom looking super nice.
Meanwhile your old porcelain tub might show ugly cracks or stubborn stains that bother you every single day. Taking action now means you get a gorgeous glossy finish that makes cleaning way easier.
First the crew cleans your unit thoroughly to get rid of soap scum and grease buildup. This prep work ensures the new polymer bonding agent sticks properly for lasting results.
Next they apply several layers of specialized acrylic urethane using a high volume low pressure sprayer. This application gives you a slick finish that feels great when you take a relaxing bath.
Instead of ripping out your entire plumbing fixture and dealing with messy demo work you just resurface the existing shell. This smart approach saves you massive headaches and avoids damaging your tile walls.
Furthermore your newly coated basin dries quickly so you can use it again in just a couple of days. That means zero major disruptions to your daily routine while still getting that fresh upgrade.
Over time your bathing basin takes a beating from harsh cleaners and hard water minerals. Luckily a skilled crew can fix chips and dull spots right on site without any hassle.
Stubbun rust stains around the drain often ruin the look of an otherwise decent bathroom. Getting rid of those ugly blemishes lets you enjoy a pristine bathing space every morning.
Traditional replacement projects involve expensive labor plumbing fees and structural repairs that add up fast. Opting for a professional spray coat gives you the same visual impact for a fraction of the price.

| Option | Average Cost | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | High | Multiple Weeks |
| Surface Refinishing | Low | One Day |
Proper maintenance ensures your refinished soaking vessel stays shiny for over a decade. Avoiding abrasive scrubbers prevents scratches on the glossy acrylic layer.
Using mild liquid dish soap keeps the basin sparkling clean without wearing down the protective glaze. Simple habits like rinsing after each bath protect your investment for years.
Living in this peaceful Louisiana region means you value reliable contractors who show up on time. Our local team proudly serves every corner of Catahoula Parish with dedicated craftsmanship.
Whether you live near the local waterways or closer to the countryside our technicians travel directly to your home. We bring all necessary ventilation gear and professional spray equipment right to your driveway.
Bathroom renovations usually cause massive dust clouds and leave your house in a complete mess. Choosing a surface restoration keeps your home clean and dust-free from start to finish.
Beyond the lack of mess you also reduce landfill waste by keeping your original cast iron or steel tub in place. That green benefit makes this upgrade a smart choice for eco-conscious homeowners.
Before the technicians arrive you should remove all personal items like shampoo bottles and bath mats. Clearing the workspace allows the crew to set up their protective plastic sheeting efficiently.
Ensuring good ventilation in the bathroom helps the specialized coatings cure correctly and eliminates strong chemical odors. Opening a window or running an exhaust fan makes the process go smoothly.
Chalky residue on your tub floor often indicates the original factory finish has worn completely away. Ignoring this issue eventually leads to porous spots that trap dirt and bacteria.
Hairline fractures in the porcelain can let water seep underneath and cause hidden structural damage. Fixing these small flaws early prevents expensive mold remediation down the road.
Advanced etching solutions create microscopic pores in your old tub surface so the primer locks in tight. This chemical bonding prevents peeling and ensures your new coating stays intact.
Top coat formulas feature durable resins that resist fading and yellowing even under direct sunlight exposure. You get a brilliant shine that looks modern and fresh.
Upgrading your bathroom fixtures improves your daily life and boosts your overall property value instantly. Taking action right now puts you one step closer to your dream home interior.
Reach out today to request your complimentary estimate from our friendly local team. We look forward to transforming your bathroom surface with professional care and honest pricing.
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, 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.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
