In Cherrywood Village, St. Matthews, the Louisville 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.
You look at your bathroom every single morning and probably sigh at that dull, stained basin. It has those ugly scratches and a weird yellowish tint that makes you feel dirty just looking at it. Fortunately, you can get a shiny, smooth surface again without paying thousands of dollars for a total bathroom demolition. Our team comes right to your home to restore that bright finish and make things look brand new. Professional tub resurfacing gives you a gorgeous, clean bathroom without the massive mess of tearing out walls.
Imagine skipping the dusty nightmare of contractor crews stomping through your hallway for weeks. Instead, you get a quick, affordable transformation that cures in just a day or two. Since we love helping our neighbors, we want to give you a totally free estimate to show how easy this project really is. You will save a pile of cash while getting a wash space that feels fresh and inviting.
Many homeowners think they have to rip out the entire fixture when the surface gets ugly. However, this line of thinking leads to a massive money pit because plumbing lines usually need moving. Which means a simple swap quickly turns into a giant remodeling headache. On top of that, old plaster and drywall always get damaged during the removal process. You end up hiring painters and tile setters just to fix the path of destruction.
Think about the sheer weight of those old cast iron basins that require three strong people to carry out. This heavy lifting can easily crack your floor tiles or scratch your door frames. By choosing to coat the existing structure instead, you avoid these risks entirely. Our specialized process bonds a durable new layer directly onto your cast iron, steel, or fiberglass. This clever approach saves your original fixtures while keeping tons of heavy waste out of local landfills.
Let us look at how the smart way compares to the painful traditional route:
| The Hard Way (Full Replacement) | Our Smart Way (Surface Restoration) |
|---|---|
| Days or weeks of noisy construction | Completed in just a few hours |
| Expensive plumbing and tile repairs | No damage to surrounding walls |
| High labor costs and permit fees | Very affordable flat rates |
First, we clean the old material with heavy-duty prep solutions to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures the new materials stick like glue to the old base. Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks with specialized waterproof fillers. This meticulous preparation creates a perfectly flat canvas for the next steps.
After repairing the damage, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that works at a molecular level. This high-tech primer acts like double-sided tape for the final protective layers. Then, we spray multiple coats of a premium acrylic urethane topcoat using professional spray equipment. This creates a brilliant, high-gloss shield that resists impacts and stays bright for years to come.
Because these industrial coatings have a very strong odor during application, we use powerful exhaust fans. These specialized air movers pull the fumes out through the nearest window to keep your family safe. This means you do not have to worry about chemical smells lingering in your hallways. We also mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic to prevent any overspray from landing on your vanity or toilet.
Once we pack up our gear, you only have to wait a short time for the finish to cure completely. This quick turnaround lets you get back to your normal daily routine without major disruptions. You will love how easy the new surface is to wipe down after a long shower. No more scrubbing with harsh abrasive powders that scratch up the finish.
You might see cheap paint-on kits at the local hardware store and think about tackling this yourself. Unfortunately, those roll-on epoxy products do not have the proper bonding agents to withstand hot water long-term. They often start peeling and flaking off within a few months, leaving an even bigger mess. Our commercial-grade spray equipment achieves a factory-smooth finish that a brush or roller simply cannot replicate.
If you try to fix a bad DIY job later, removing that peeling paint takes twice as much work. Save yourself the frustration by letting a local hand handle it right the first time. We bring all the heavy safety gear, professional sprayers, and years of hands-on experience. We treat your home with total respect and clean up every bit of trash before we leave.
We are proud to serve families living in the beautiful, tree-lined residential pockets of Cherrywood Village, St. Matthews, Kentucky (KY), USA. This charming area of Louisville, nestled within the larger Jefferson County region, features beautiful mid-century homes that often have solid, historic bathroom fixtures. While these older homes have fantastic character, their bathrooms frequently need a little cosmetic help to match modern styles. Our services let you preserve that vintage charm while enjoying a clean, bright, and hygienic wash basin.
Whether your home is near the bustling shopping corridors or tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, we can visit your property fast. Since we know the local housing styles so well, we understand exactly how to handle older plumbing setups. We know the median household income here is strong, but nobody wants to waste hard-earned cash on overpriced renovations. That is why we keep our prices fair and our estimates completely free.
To get the most life out of your restored basin, you should avoid using bleach or abrasive scrubbing pads. These harsh tools can dull the shiny finish over time and create microscopic scratches where dirt can hide. Instead, use mild liquid dish soaps or specialized non-abrasive bathroom spray cleaners. This simple care routine keeps the surface looking like polished glass without any hard physical labor.
Additionally, make sure you fix any dripping faucets quickly because constant water drops can eventually wear down any coating. Putting a soft bath mat down is fine, but avoid the ones with suction cups underneath because they can pull on the finish. By following these basic guidelines, your renewed basin will look gorgeous for up to a decade. It is a small amount of care for a massive return on your home investment.
Now is the perfect time to stop ignoring that ugly bathroom eyesore and do something about it. This easy upgrade instantly boosts your home value while making your daily routine much more pleasant. Which means you can finally feel proud when guests ask to use your restroom. Why spend another day scrubbing a stained tub that refuses to get clean?
Contact us today to request a free, no-obligation quote right at your doorstep. We will walk you through the options, inspect your current setup, and give you an honest price. Let us handle the hard work so you can enjoy a bright, sparkling bathroom again soon!
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 Cherrywood Village, St. Matthews, 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.
