A dull or chipped tub in Corydon 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.

Many folks think they need to rip out their entire cast iron or fiberglass tub when the surface gets dull and stained. Actually, our specialized surface refinishing process coats your existing basin with a high-performance, durable acrylic protective layer. This budget-friendly solution fills in deep scratches, covers up unsightly chips, and seals away stubborn rust stains forever.
Because we use advanced bonding agents, the new finish fuses directly to your old porcelain on a molecular level. This means you get a super smooth, non-porous barrier that resists dirt and grime build-up. Consequently, you will spend far less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemical cleaners.
To give you a better idea of how this compares to replacement, let us look at the details below.
| Comparison Factor | Our Specialized Coating Process | Full Bathroom Remodel |
|---|---|---|
| Total Project Cost | Very affordable, usually a fraction of replacement | Extremely expensive with high labor fees |
| Time to Complete | Finished in just a few hours | Takes days or even weeks of mess |
| Durability | Lasts for many years with simple care | Depends heavily on new material quality |
| Mess and Noise | Minimal odor, no wall demolition required | Tons of dust, loud hammering, plumbing headaches |
Living here in the historic first state capital of the Hoosier State means appreciating classic charm, but nobody wants a historic-looking layer of grime on their daily shower floor. Whether you reside in a cozy bungalow near the town square or a newer home in the 47112 area, we understand the local plumbing quirks. Since our beautiful Harrison County community has about 3,125 residents, we treat every single customer like our close neighbor.
With a local median household income of around $47,188, we know that spending wisely on home maintenance is incredibly important to you. That is why we focus on delivering maximum value, giving you a luxurious look without draining your hard-earned savings. Our friendly crew arrives on time, works clean, and respects your property from start to finish.
First, we clean the entire area with industrial-strength cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and body oils. After that, we repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots using specialized waterproof fillers. This crucial step ensures the final coat lies perfectly flat and bonds flawlessly to the original structure.
Next, we mask off your walls, floors, and plumbing fixtures with protective paper and tape to prevent any overspray. We also set up a heavy-duty exhaust fan to vent any fumes safely out of the nearest window. This careful setup keeps your home clean and breathable while we work our magic.
Once the prep work is complete, we apply a high-tech bonding agent that acts like superglue for the new finish. After that, we spray multiple layers of our premium topcoat using professional spray equipment. This creates an incredibly thick, resilient surface that mimics the exact look of expensive ceramic glaze.
Finally, we let the coating cure completely so it hardens into a rock-solid, glossy shield. This chemical curing process ensures the surface remains flexible enough to handle hot water expansion without cracking. You will be amazed at how light reflects off your newly restored fixture.
Choosing this smart coating method means you can keep your heavy, high-quality old cast iron tub instead of replacing it with cheap modern plastic. Classic tubs hold heat much better, which lets you enjoy longer, warmer baths after a stressful day. On top of that, you preserve the original character of your older home while enjoying a clean, hygienic bathing space.
Another fantastic perk is how incredibly easy the new surface is to clean with basic mild soap. Because the microscopic pores are sealed shut, mold and mildew have absolutely nowhere to hide and grow. Which means you can spend your weekends relaxing instead of scrubbing tile grout with a toothbrush.
Naturally, you might wonder how long this beautiful new coating will actually last in your busy household. If you follow our simple care instructions, your upgraded surface will look stunning for up to ten to fifteen years. We always recommend avoiding abrasive cleaners or bleach, which can dull the shiny topcoat over time.
We also get asked if we can change the color of older, outdated pink or green fixtures from the 1970s. Absolutely, we can transform any wild retro shade into a crisp, modern bright white or biscuit color. This simple aesthetic upgrade instantly modernizes your entire bathroom, making the whole space feel much larger and brighter.

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 Corydon, 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.
