A dull or chipped tub in Chalmette 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.
Want a shiny tub without spending thousands on real remodeling? Right here in our wet local weather, worn fixtures get nasty super fast. Getting a slick custom finish restores your washbasin fast and cheap, so request your free estimate today!
Honestly speaking, nobody likes looking at a dingy wash spot after a long shift at work. Over time, heavy soap scum and hard water leave behind ugly rings that just will not scrub out no matter what harsh chemicals you throw at them. Besides that, ancient fiberglass or heavy cast iron can start flaking off into your bathwater, which is totally gross and embarrassing when guests come over. Actually, getting a fresh thick protective coat applied directly over your existing basin fixes all those crazy cosmetic defects in just a few short hours. That means you get to dodge those outrageous demolition bills completely. Plus, you will save yourself weeks of messy dusty construction chaos inside your home.
Suddenly, your old stained basin turns super smooth and sparkling clean like it just came straight off the showroom floor. Furthermore, this heavy duty top layer seals up tiny porous cracks where nasty mildew loves to hide out and breed. Because of that, washing up becomes an absolute breeze rather than a miserable weekend chore that makes your back hurt. Even better, our special liquid resin hardens into a rock solid shell that stands up to daily splashing and kids dropping heavy plastic toys during bath time. This gives you peace of mind while massively upgrading your home value without breaking the bank. It is honestly a total game changer for any homeowner tired of looking at an ugly bathroom daily.
First off, we do not just slap some cheap house paint over your dirt and call it a day like some sloppy DIY video shows. To start with, our crew deep cleans every single inch using specialized industrial solvents that strip away ancient oils, scale, and nasty grime buildup. Next, we carefully repair any deep chips, rust spots, or nasty cracks with heavy bond filler so the base stays completely flat. After that, a specialized acid etching step eats into the original porcelain glaze to make it extra scratchy. Consequently, our brand new liquid molecular coating bonds forever on a sub-micron level, so it never peels off down the road. You end up with a flawless factory finish that really lasts for years and years.
Afterward, we mask off your entire room using heavy duty paper and sticky tape so overspray never touches your vanity or tile floors. Moving forward, we blast multiple smooth layers of specialized high-grade synthetic polymer using precision spray guns. In fact, this unique compound cures super fast, creating an insanely glossy layer that resists high heat and funky humidity. Naturally, our tropical heat and marshy weather down here in Saint Bernard Parish can really mess up cheap coatings, but our material handles it like a champ. Therefore, your washbasin stays totally bright white instead of turning a weird yellow shade after a couple months. It looks fresh, feels slick, and works like a charm!
Finally, we do a thorough check of the final product to ensure there are zero bubbles or rough spots left behind. Simply put, we pull down all our protective tape, vacuum up any loose dust, and leave your personal wash room totally spotless. Surprisingly, the entire application process usually takes less than five hours from start to finish. Which means you can actually take a hot bath again in just a couple days, not weeks! This incredible speed helps busy families keep their daily routines running smooth without big disruptions. Check out this quick breakdown comparing full replacement against our special refinishing system:
| Upgrade Factor | Full Basin Replacement | Our Specialty Refinishing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Time Spent | 3 to 7 Days of Loud Work | Under 5 Hours Total |
| Mess and Dust Level | Massive Demolition Debris | Zero Destruction or Garbage |
| Overall Project Cost | Super Expensive Hardware Costs | Super Affordable Rates |
Look, money does not grow on trees, especially when managing house expenses in ZIP codes like 70043 or 70044. On top of that, ripped out pipes can easily lead to scary plumbing surprises hidden behind drywalls that wreck your monthly budget. By choosing to restore your fixture right where it sits, you skip paying crazy contractor fees and trash haulers entirely. For instance, local homeowners with a median household income around $43,520 love saving cash on upgrades while still getting a modern look. So, you keep thousands of dollars right inside your savings account for better things, like family vacations or tasty crawfish boils!
Additionally, local property managers who need fast turnovers rely heavily on our speedy coating services to get new tenants moved in fast. Because every single day a rental sits empty, you lose real hard-earned cash out of your pocket. Naturally, a bright, glossy washbasin makes rental photos pop online, bringing in way better rental applications from quality folks. On the flip side, old rusty fixtures scare off good tenants instantly because they assume the whole house is dirty. Therefore, spending a tiny fraction of full replacement costs yields an awesome return on investment practically overnight. It is just smart business all around for real estate owners.
Besides that, saving ancient heavy cast iron tubs helps preserve the awesome historic vibe of regional architecture across our community. Many older houses built decades ago feature massive deep basins that hold warm heat far better than modern flimsy acrylic units sold today. Rather than dumping heavy antique iron into local landfills where population centers around 23,602 reside, renewing them keeps cool history alive right inside your home. What is more, you help the environment by reducing huge renovation waste while maintaining superior vintage quality. That means you get retro charm combined with modern easy-cleaning convenience, giving you the best of both worlds!
Maybe your washbasin has a huge ugly brown ring right around the drain line from leaky faucets dripping constantly over years. Or perhaps someone dropped a heavy glass bottle years back, leaving a big jagged black chip right in the bottom wall surface. Do not stress, because our specialized thick acrylic compounds fill those dark gouges flush, making them completely disappear from sight forever. Wow, it feels magical watching decades of wear and tear melt away under our specialized airless spray guns! Furthermore, we lock out rust spot growth before it eats holes clear through your metal lining and causes massive water leaks.
Sometimes, past owners tried using cheap DIY paint kits bought at big box stores that ended up bubbling up into a peeling mess. Honestly... those home store paint kits are straight up terrible and almost always fail after just a few hot showers! Fortunately, we can easily strip away that old flaking rubbery layer down to the bare original surface before laying down our tough commercial polymer. Consequently, your renewed fixture will never peel or bubble up like those cheap weekend project kits do. We do the dirty prep work right so you never have to worry about fixing bad surfaces twice. Talk about a huge relief for tired hands!
Now, once your fresh glossy topcoat is cured and hard, keeping it shiny is super easy if you use proper cleaning tricks. For example, you must totally ditch those harsh abrasive scrubbing powders and scratchy wire pads that gouge smooth finishes over time. Instead, simply spray down the surface with mild liquid dish soap and wipe it down softly using a warm micro-fiber sponge. Which means you actually spend way less money on fancy specialized bathroom cleaners every month at the grocery store! That simple switch protects the glossy finish so it stays bright white for up to fifteen long years without dulling down.
On top of that, make sure you fix leaky shower heads or dripping sink faucets right away so standing water never sits forever. Even tough modern coatings prefer staying dry when not in use to maintain maximum gloss strength over extended periods. Similarly, avoid leaving wet suction-cup bath mats stuck down on the floor for weeks at a time because trapped water hurts coatings. By following these few basic care habits, your restored fixture maintains its shiny luster without needing extra touch-ups down the road. It really is that simple to keep your wash room looking like a fancy five-star hotel suite everyday!
Granted, doing home repairs yourself sounds super fun until you end up breathing toxic chemical fumes without proper heavy ventilation masks. In addition, commercial spraying equipment costs hundreds of dollars to rent and requires serious skill to avoid leaving big ugly drip runs in the finish. On the other hand, our skilled local technicians bring top-tier air exhaust fans, safety gear, and years of daily spraying experience straight to your front door. Which means you can just kick back, relax, and enjoy your weekend while we handle all the tedious, messy labor safely. You get perfect professional results without taking on crazy physical stress or safety risks.
Moreover, local tradesmen understand the unique local water conditions and heavy humidity issues specific to our coastal region down here in Louisiana (LA). We calibrate our chemical bonding agents specifically for warm humid environments so the finish cures correctly every single time without clouding up. That specialized regional knowledge means your investment is fully protected against local climate surprises that mess up out-of-town workers. Ultimately, hiring local pros keeps cash circulating right here inside our home community while giving you top notch customer service. We take massive pride in making our neighbors smile when they see their shiny transformed washrooms!

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 Chalmette, 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
