A dull or chipped tub in Cherry Log 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.
Your old tub probably looks like it survived a war or at least a few decades of heavy scrubbing.
If you are tired of staring at those ugly stains and worn-out surfaces, a complete bathroom remodel might sound tempting but your wallet is probably screaming just thinking about the cost.
Thankfully, a smart and incredibly budget-friendly alternative exists to make your washing basin look brand new again in just a single day.
Choosing to update the surface of your existing tub saves you thousands of dollars compared to ripping everything out of the wall.
This clever process involves applying a fresh, durable glaze directly over your old porcelain or fiberglass fixture.
Naturally, you get a gorgeous, shiny finish that looks exactly like a brand-new installation without the dusty nightmare of a construction zone in your home.
Our dedicated local team specializes in bringing these tired fixtures back to life with professional-grade materials.
To make things even easier for you, we offer a completely free estimate so you can plan your budget without any hidden surprises.
You can finally say goodbye to those embarrassing rust rings and hello to a sparkling clean wash space that you will actually want to show off to guests.
First, we must thoroughly clean the existing surface to remove years of soap scum, body oils, and stubborn mineral deposits.
This deep preparation step is absolutely critical because even the tiniest speck of grease can ruin how the new coating bonds to your tub.
We use specialized acid cleaners that etch the old porcelain, which creates a microscopic texture that the new materials can grab onto securely.
Next, our technicians repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots using a high-strength polyester filler.
Once those repairs cure, we sand them completely flat so the damage vanishes under the new layers.
After that, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to protect your floors, walls, and vanity from any overspray.
Then, we apply a state-of-the-art bonding agent that acts like chemical velcro between the old surface and the new topcoat.
Following this step, we spray multiple layers of an industrial-grade acrylic urethane coating using specialized high-volume, low-pressure equipment.
This precise application technique ensures a perfectly smooth, high-gloss finish that cures into a rock-hard protective shell.
If you think replacing a tub is simple, you might want to talk to someone who has actually tried it.
Demolishing an old cast iron or steel fixture usually means breaking tiles, moving plumbing lines, and sometimes even widening your bathroom doorway.
These unexpected hassles quickly turn a simple weekend project into a multi-week financial disaster that leaves you showering at the local gym.
Opting for a professional surface restoration avoids all of those headaches while delivering the same beautiful visual results.
The entire process takes only a few hours to complete, and you can usually start using your shower again within twenty-four hours.
Which means you save time, avoid the stressful mess, and keep tons of heavy debris out of our local landfills.

On top of the massive financial savings, this service allows you to customize the color of your fixture to match your modern decor.
Whether you want a classic bright white, a soft almond, or something more modern, we can mix the perfect shade for your home.
This flexibility lets you update your space on your own terms without being forced into a massive renovation project.
To get the most out of your newly coated fixture, you must treat it with a little bit of respect.
Even though the new finish is incredibly tough and durable, using abrasive powders or harsh scrubbing pads will eventually dull the shine.
Instead, you should clean it using mild liquid soaps and soft sponges, which will keep that glossy luster looking fresh for over a decade.
Another major benefit of this smooth coating is how easily it resists mold, mildew, and stubborn hard water stains.
Because the non-porous surface prevents grime from digging in, keeping your bathroom clean becomes a quick and painless chore.
This means you will spend far less time on your knees scrubbing and more time enjoying a relaxing soak in your beautiful tub.
We stand behind the quality of our craftsmanship, which is why we explain every detail of the care process before we leave your home.
If you follow these simple guidelines, your restored wash basin will easily maintain its beautiful shine and strength for many years to come.

Perhaps you are wondering if your specific fixture is too far gone for this type of surface restoration process.
In most cases, even tubs with deep rust spots, nasty chips, and ugly discoloration can be saved by our skilled hands.
Unless the structural integrity of the metal or fiberglass is completely destroyed, we can usually make it look brand new.
Look closely at your tub and check for worn-out, dull patches that feel rough to the touch when you run your hand over them.
These rough areas are actually exposed pores in the original glaze, which trap dirt and soap scum like a magnet.
Our advanced coating seals those pores completely, creating a glass-smooth barrier that looks stunning and feels incredibly comfortable against your skin.

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 Cherry Log, 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.
The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
