A dull or chipped tub in Chapel Hill 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.
That ugly, stained bathroom fixture is probably driving you crazy every single time you walk in there to brush your teeth. Honestly, you do not have to rip out your entire wall or spend thousands of dollars on noisy demolition just to get a clean, shiny surface again. Our local team specializes in spraying a durable, high-gloss synthetic finish right over your existing cast iron or porcelain setup so it looks brand new by tomorrow.
This budget-friendly magic trick saves you a massive amount of time and mess. By choosing to restore the surface instead of replacing the whole heavy block of metal, you avoid hiring expensive plumbers and drywall installers. We come straight to your home in Smith County to handle the prep work, the spraying, and the cleanup while you just sit back and relax.
You can grab a totally free estimate today to see how affordable this transformation really is. Our friendly crew loves helping folks fall in love with their bathrooms all over again without draining their bank accounts. Let us take a look at how this smart process works and why it makes so much sense for your home.
Many homeowners confuse this specialized resurfacing process with those cheap plastic liners you see in late-night commercials. Actually, our method involves chemically bonding a new, rock-hard acrylic coating directly onto your old, worn-out basin. This means you do not get any weird water traps or mold growing in hidden gaps like you do with those bulky plastic inserts.
First, we thoroughly clean the area using industrial-strength acid cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. After that, we repair any deep chips, rusty spots, or ugly cracks with a specialized waterproof filler. This step ensures the final finish looks completely flat and flawless once we apply the topcoat.
Next, we spray a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old porcelain and the new liquid acrylic. Finally, we apply several coats of a high-tech resin using a professional spray gun to give you that deep, liquid-like shine. The result is a gorgeous, easy-to-clean surface that feels incredibly smooth to the touch.
If you have ever tried to price out a full bathroom remodel, you already know how fast the costs can spiral completely out of control. Removing an old cast iron tub often requires cutting it into pieces with a saw or breaking it apart with a sledgehammer. On top of that, you usually end up damaging the surrounding tile, which means you have to pay to retile the whole wall too.
Our fast, on-site service completely bypasses all that dusty chaos and keep your home clean. We complete the entire job in just a few hours, and you can start using your beautiful shower again after a day of curing. This table shows how our convenient process compares to the nightmare of a traditional tear-out:
| Factor to Consider | Our Restoration Service | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Total Project Cost | Very affordable, usually a fraction of replacement | Extremely expensive with hidden plumbing fees |
| Time to Complete | Done in 4 to 6 hours | Can drag on for weeks or even months |
| Mess and Dust Level | Minimal, we seal off the room and vent fumes | Massive drywall dust, plaster debris, and noise |
| Durability and Life | Lasts 10 to 15 years with proper care | Depends on the quality of the new tub installed |
Choosing this smart route lets you keep your high-quality, vintage fixtures instead of replacing them with cheap, modern plastic ones. Older homes often contain beautiful, heavy-duty basins that hold heat much better than anything you can buy at a big-box store today. We preserve that classic craftsmanship while giving it a bright, clean, modern look.
Once our team packs up and leaves your home, keeping that brilliant shine alive is actually incredibly simple. You must avoid abrasive scouring powders, bleach, or scratchy green scrub pads because they will dull the shiny acrylic over time. Instead, just wipe the surface down with a mild liquid dish soap or a gentle foaming bathroom spray and a soft microfiber cloth.
Another great tip is to repair any leaky faucets as soon as you notice them dripping. Constant water dripping in the exact same spot can eventually wear down even the toughest industrial coatings over several years. By taking care of small leaks early, you ensure your gorgeous new finish stays perfect for well over a decade.
We also highly recommend avoiding suction-cup bath mats because pulling them up can slowly weaken the chemical bond of the coating. If you need a non-slip surface, just let us know before we start spraying our mixture. We can easily apply a permanent, slip-resistant texture directly into the bottom of the basin during the application process.

That is why we offer upfront pricing with absolutely no hidden fees or surprise charges when the job is done.

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 Chapel Hill, 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.
