All over Clarke County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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 bathroom should feel like a private sanctuary where you can wash away the stress of a long day. Unfortunately, a stained, chipped, or outdated washing basin can completely ruin that peaceful vibe. If you are tired of scrubbing at stubborn grime that never seems to leave, you might think a costly remodel is your only option.
Actually, there is a much faster and cheaper way to bring back that sparkling shine. By choosing to refinish your existing fixture instead of ripping it out, you save both time and a mountain of cash. This smart alternative breathes fresh life into your old porcelain or fiberglass surfaces in just a few hours.
Our local team of surface restoration pros loves helping folks get that clean, bright look back without the massive headache of a full renovation. We travel right to your home to evaluate your setup and provide a detailed, complimentary assessment. You get a gorgeous, shiny space again without having to deal with dusty demolition crews or crazy plumbing bills.
Many homeowners confuse this specialized coating process with simple painting, but it is actually a highly technical chemical bonding method. First, we deep clean the surface with industrial strength cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures the new materials stick properly and stay put for years to come.
Next, we repair any deep gouges, chips, or rust spots that have developed over time. This makes the foundation perfectly smooth before we apply the special bonding agents. After that, we spray on several coats of a high tech acrylic polymer finish that cures into a rock hard shell.
This protective layer mimics the original glossy look of your fixture while sealing out future moisture and stains. Consequently, you get a surface that is incredibly easy to wipe clean, meaning you can finally throw away those harsh abrasive scrubbers. Your weekly cleaning routine suddenly becomes a quick breeze instead of a sweaty workout.
| Feature of Refinishing | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| No demolition required | Avoids mess, dust, and broken tiles |
| Completed in one day | You can use your shower again very quickly |
| Non-porous topcoat | Resists mold, mildew, and stubborn stains |
| Fraction of replacement cost | Keeps money in your wallet for other projects |
On paper, buying a brand new tub at the local hardware store looks pretty cheap. However, the hidden expenses of tearing out an old cast iron or steel fixture can add up incredibly fast. You often have to break surrounding wall tiles, move plumbing lines, and even widen doorways just to get the old unit out of the house.
Suddenly, a simple weekend project turns into a multi week construction zone that leaves you without a working bathroom. That is where our specialized onsite resurfacing service saves the day. We do all the work right in place, which keeps your existing tile walls completely intact.
This smart approach eliminates the need for expensive tile repair or hiring licensed plumbers to reroute your pipes. You bypass the chaos of demolition entirely, keeping your home peaceful and your budget completely under control. It is the ultimate shortcut to a beautiful bathroom update without the traditional construction drama.
Deep in the heart of the Magnolia State, many older homes feature beautiful, sturdy cast iron fixtures that are built like tanks but look pretty rough after decades of use. Especially in places like Clarke County, Mississippi, where historic charm meets quiet southern living, preserving these classic features is a wonderful way to maintain character. Our local families appreciate quality craftsmanship and practical solutions that do not drain the household budget.
Since the local median household income sits around forty thousand dollars, finding cost effective ways to maintain property value is incredibly important for hard working residents. Whether you live in Quitman, Enterprise, or Shubuta, our mobile service van comes directly to your doorstep. We know how to handle the unique challenges of local water systems, which often leave stubborn orange rust stains on older porcelain.
Instead of throwing away a heavy, high quality vintage fixture, restoring it keeps classic craftsmanship alive while saving you thousands of dollars. We serve all local neighborhoods across the region, including ZIP codes like 39355, 39325, and 39360, bringing professional grade tools to every single job. You get top tier results from a friendly team that understands the value of an honest day's work.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom using heavy duty protective plastic and painters tape. This protective barrier ensures that no overspray or dust settles on your vanity, toilet, floor, or walls. We also set up a powerful ventilation system to pull any fumes out of your home while we work.
Next, we apply a specialized acid etch to porcelain tubs to create microscopic pores in the old glaze. This step acts like a super strong primer, giving the new coating something solid to grab onto. If your fixture is made of fiberglass or acrylic, we use a different chemical bonding agent designed specifically for synthetic materials.
After the prep work is complete, we use professional spray equipment to apply multiple layers of high build resin. This meticulous spraying technique ensures a perfectly smooth, mirror like finish without any brush marks, runs, or bubbles. Once cured, we polish the surface to a beautiful shine, leaving your wash area looking brand new and ready for action.
Over time, the protective factory glaze on your wash basin wears thin from harsh cleaning chemicals and daily use. This wear and tear exposes the porous material underneath, which eagerly absorbs dirt, oils, and rust from your water pipes. If your tub feels rough like sandpaper when you sit in it, the original finish has completely worn away.
We routinely repair deep chips caused by dropped shampoo bottles, hairline cracks in flexing fiberglass bottoms, and ugly rust rings around the drain. Our advanced repair compounds bond permanently with the original structure, making those damaged areas completely invisible. You no longer have to worry about water leaking through cracks and causing hidden rot in your subfloor.
To keep your newly shiny fixture looking gorgeous for years, you must change your cleaning habits just a little bit. You should avoid abrasive powders, bleach, and scratchy green scrub pads, as they will eventually dull the protective topcoat. Instead, simply use mild dish soap, a damp sponge, or a gentle foaming spray cleaner after you shower.
This simple habit keeps the surface slick, preventing soap scum and mineral deposits from sticking in the first place. This slickness also means you spend far less time on your hands and knees scrubbing your bathroom. You get to enjoy a sparkling clean wash space with only a fraction of the physical effort.
We also recommend fixing any leaky faucets quickly, as constant dripping can wear down any coating over several years. By taking these simple, easy steps, your restored fixture can easily look beautiful for a decade or more. It is a small investment of care that pays off in long term beauty and daily satisfaction.
There is absolutely no reason to live with an ugly, stained, or hard to clean wash area for another single day. Our friendly local team is ready to help you transform your bathroom without the mess, stress, or high cost of traditional remodeling. We pride ourselves on clear communication, arriving on time, and leaving your home cleaner than we found it.

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, 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.
