In Century City, the Los Angeles technician we send repairs, sprays and caulks your tub where it stands.
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.
Are you tired of looking at that chipped, stained basin every single morning? You can actually transform your entire washroom look today without ripping everything out of the floor.
Think about your old tub for a second. It probably has those annoying cracks or a color that went out of style in the seventies. Most people assume they need a full demolition to fix these eyesores. That is actually just a big myth that costs you way too much money. When you choose to rejuvenate the finish, you save yourself thousands of dollars compared to a total renovation.
Basically, a pro comes in and cleans the surface deeply to remove all the soap scum and grime. Next, they repair those tiny chips or scratches that hold onto dirt like a magnet. This creates a smooth base layer that acts like a blank canvas for the new finish. You get a brand new look that feels like silk when you run your hand across it.
Once the surface is prepped, the technician sprays a specialized chemical coating over the existing structure. This stuff sticks incredibly well and creates a rock-hard layer that resists stains better than the original porcelain. It brings back that feeling of luxury you lost years ago. You will honestly struggle to tell the difference between this and a brand new fixture.
Think about the sheer amount of work involved in pulling out a heavy cast iron or fiberglass basin. You have to hire a plumber, a tile guy, and a carpenter to deal with the wall mess. Then you have the dust and the noise that makes your home feel like a construction site for weeks. It is a nightmare that most of us want to avoid at all costs.
Conversely, this specialized surface treatment usually finishes in just one day. You can often use the tub again within twenty-four hours of the final spray. That means you get back to your regular routine without living in a mess. It is basically the ultimate way to upgrade your space while keeping your sanity intact.
On top of that, you help the environment by keeping old materials out of the local landfill. It feels pretty good to know you made a smart choice for the planet while upgrading your home. This approach gives you great value and keeps your hard-earned money in your own pocket. Who does not want a better result for a fraction of the cost?
Beyond just the cost savings, you get a much easier cleaning experience. Those old, porous surfaces tend to trap grime deep inside their microscopic pits. When you have a high-quality sealant applied, that dirt just wipes away with a soft cloth. You do not need harsh chemicals anymore to keep things shining bright.
Since you want your home to stay in great shape, you should know that a fresh coating lasts for many years. Provided you treat it with a bit of care and avoid abrasive scouring pads, it holds up beautifully against daily use. Think of it as giving your bathroom a second lease on life. It is honestly one of the smartest investments you can make for your property.
| Feature | Benefit | |
|---|---|---|
| Quick application | You get your bathroom back fast | |
| Non-porous coating | Cleaning takes half the time | |
| Custom color options | You match your dream style | |
| Durable chemical bond | Your tub stays pretty for years |
Now, consider the aesthetic side of things. Maybe your old unit is a weird shade of almond or baby blue. You can pick a crisp, clean white that makes your whole room feel larger and brighter. It changes the entire mood of your morning routine in the best way possible.
Living in a neighborhood like the one located in Los Angeles County means you know all about the hustle. With the median household income being quite high in this specific spot, it is smart to find ways to keep your home value up. Even if the population seems low on paper, the density of homes in ZIP codes like 90067 creates a unique need for efficient maintenance. You want results that look expensive but save you the stress of a massive renovation project.
There is something really satisfying about walking into a bathroom that looks like it belongs in a magazine. You stop worrying about guests seeing the stains or the worn-out bottom of the tub. Instead, you feel a sense of pride because you took charge of your environment. This is exactly what we help homeowners achieve every single day.

They will tell you if your surface is a good candidate for this treatment or if it needs deeper structural repairs. You get an honest assessment that sets clear expectations from the very start. No surprises, no games, just clear communication.

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 Century City, 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.
