A dull or chipped tub in Centerville 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.
You probably hate looking at that dull stained surface every single morning. Fortunately you can completely transform your bathroom without tearing out the plumbing or spending a fortune on heavy demolition. Our local crew specializing in surface refinishing brings back that sparkling factory shine right to your home.
Indeed we make the entire process incredibly simple and affordable. By choosing to restore your fixture rather than replacing it you save thousands of dollars and days of messy construction. Now you can easily request a free estimate to see how cheap and quick this upgrade actually is.
Most folks do not realize that their old heavy tub is actually much better quality than the cheap plastic stuff sold in big box stores today. When you choose to apply a new protective coating you preserve that sturdy vintage character while getting rid of all the ugly chips and deep scratches. This means you keep your solid setup but enjoy a clean modern look.
On top of that our specialized process creates a super smooth non-porous barrier that resists stubborn mold and mildew. This lets you spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemicals. Since we apply high-tech bonding agents the new finish sticks like glue and looks incredibly bright.
To help you understand why keeping your old fixture makes sense we put together a quick comparison table.
| Factor | Full Replacement | Our Restoration Service |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very high due to plumbing and tile work | Extremely budget friendly |
| Time to Complete | Often takes several days or weeks | Finished in just a few hours |
| Mess and Waste | Tons of dusty debris in landfills | Zero demolition or construction waste |
Which means you get a sparkling bathroom without the headache of a major remodel. Our local team takes great pride in delivering a glossy finish that looks just like brand new porcelain. You will love how it changes the entire feel of your washroom.
First we thoroughly clean the area using specialized industrial prep solutions to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This step is crucial because any leftover oils can ruin the adhesion of the new layer. After that we carefully repair any deep cracks or rusty spots using a durable polyester filler.
Then we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic to keep your walls and floors completely safe from overspray. Which is why we install a powerful ventilation fan in the window to pull all the chemical fumes out of your house while we work. This keeps your indoor air clean and fresh during the application.
Next we spray a series of high-performance primer coats followed by multiple layers of a premium acrylic urethane topcoat. This advanced material fuses with the old substrate to create a beautiful finish that offers incredible toughness and longevity. You end up with a gorgeous surface that looks brilliant and feels wonderful to the touch.
Since we respect your busy schedule our friendly technicians always show up right on time with all the necessary gear. We usually finish the entire job in about four to six hours depending on the condition of your fixture. After we pack up our tools you only need to wait about twenty-four hours before you can jump in and enjoy a hot soak.
This lets you get back to your normal daily routine with almost zero interruption. We even give you simple care instructions to make sure your new glossy coat stays perfect for many years down the road. It is a painless home improvement project that yields immediate and dramatic results.
Perhaps you have seen those cheap paint-on kits at the local hardware store and thought about tackling this job yourself. However those retail products usually roll on unevenly and begin peeling off in giant sheets after just a few months. Our commercial-grade spray equipment and professional chemical cleansers ensure a uniform bond that DIY options simply cannot match.
By investing in professional work you avoid the nightmare of having to strip off a failed paint job later on. We do the hard work correctly the first time so you do not have to worry about flaking or bubbling. It is truly the smartest way to protect your home investment.
We absolutely love working in this beautiful corner of Franklin County where neighbors truly appreciate quality craftsmanship and honest business practices. Our small town of 345 residents is known for its quiet charm and lovely homes that deserve to be preserved. Since the median household income here is around $90,000 we know that local families value smart cost-effective solutions for home maintenance.
Whether you live near the heart of town or in the surrounding countryside we are always happy to drive out to your property. We serve the entire local ZIP code area with prompt service and friendly smiles. Supporting our community is what keeps us motivated to do our absolute best on every single project.
Therefore we make sure our prices are fair and our estimates are completely transparent. We never surprise you with hidden fees or extra charges after we start the work. You get honest local service from people who genuinely care about your satisfaction.
Once we finish our work you will want to keep that shine looking beautiful for as long as possible. Fortunately keeping it clean is incredibly easy because dirt does not stick to the new non-porous surface. You simply need to wipe it down with a mild liquid soap and a soft sponge after each use.
However you must avoid abrasive scrubbing powders or rough scouring pads because they can dull the glossy finish over time. This means no steel wool and no harsh bleach solutions that could degrade the protective acrylic barrier. Gentle care is all it takes to keep things looking pristine.
Additionally you should make sure your faucet does not have a constant drip because standing water can eventually wear down the finish. If you have a leaky tap we highly recommend fixing it before we apply the new coating. This small step ensures your gorgeous bathroom remains perfect for a very long time.
Why spend another week looking at a dingy discolored surface when a simple call can solve your problem. Our team is ready to provide you with a detailed price estimate completely free of charge. We will look at your fixture, explain your options, and give you a straightforward price that fits your budget.
This lets you make an informed decision without any high-pressure sales tactics. We believe in letting our quality work and great reputation speak for itself. You have absolutely nothing to lose by finding out how much you can save.

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 Centerville, 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.
