A dull or chipped tub in Dauphin Island 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.
Do you hate looking at that chipped basin in your bathroom every single morning? Well, replacing it costs a fortune and tears up your whole house. This service lets you restore your old surface easily while keeping your bathroom intact.
Most homeowners around Dauphin Island face this exact frustrating dilemma when dealing with an old, stained bathing vessel. Luckily, local specialists can spray a fresh coating right over your existing unit in just one day. This means you skip the demolition mess and save a lot of cash.
Instead of ripping out heavy porcelain, our team applies a durable liquid polymer that bonds tightly to the old material. Consequently, your tired tub gets a glossy new layer that looks completely brand new. This smart upgrade gives you the ultimate luxury without emptying your wallet.
Furthermore, our technicians handle all the prep work, including scrubbing away soap scum and etching the old enamel. Therefore, you do not have to lift a finger while we transform your space. Such thorough preparation ensures your new finish lasts for many years.
Living in Mobile County means you appreciate a good deal, especially with a median household income of eighty-four thousand dollars. Replacing a tub involves plumbers, tile guys, and drywall repairmen sending bills that add up fast. Meanwhile, our resurfacing technique cuts those costs down by a huge margin.
On top of that, ZIP codes like 36528 get fast dispatch times from our crew based right down the road. Because we operate nearby, you never wait weeks for an appointment to open up. This local presence lets us offer dependable service right when you need it most.
First, we ventilate your bathroom and mask off the surrounding tiles to protect your walls from stray overspray. Then, we chemically clean the surface to remove years of stubborn hard water stains. This careful attention to detail guarantees a flawless bond every single time.
Next, we fill in any chips or deep scratches using a heavy-duty waterproof filler. After sanding everything smooth, we apply multiple coats of industrial-grade acrylic polyurethane. This specialized spraying method creates a brilliant finish that shines like glass.
Once the spraying finishes, the new layer needs about twenty-four hours to cure completely and harden. During this time, you simply keep the room dry and avoid using the fixture. Following these simple rules ensures your investment stays strong against daily wear.
Eventually, cleaning becomes much easier because the smooth new barrier repels grime and soap buildup. You only need mild dish soap and a soft sponge to keep everything sparkling clean. This low-maintenance routine gives you more free time on your weekends.
Many folks wonder if buying a brand-new acrylic tub makes more sense than fixing the old cast iron one. Replacement usually requires knocking out walls and disposing of heavy debris, which disrupts your entire household. However, our restoration service keeps your original structure safely in place.
Look at this quick breakdown to see how the two choices stack up against each other.
| Feature | Full Replacement | Our Resurfacing Service |
|---|---|---|
| Time Required | One to two weeks | Just one day |
| Mess Level | High demolition dust | Minimal and clean |
| Cost | Extremely expensive | Very budget-friendly |
Clearly, keeping your original basin and giving it a fresh spray is the smarter route for most families. Besides saving money, you also keep tons of heavy construction material out of local landfills. That makes this choice great for your wallet and great for the environment.
With a cozy population of just twelve hundred residents, our town has a wonderful small-town feel where everyone knows their neighbors. We love serving homeowners right here on this beautiful barrier island in Alabama. Because we live around here too, we treat every single house with the utmost respect.
Salt air and high humidity can take a serious toll on bathroom fixtures over time, causing rust and dullness. Fortunately, our specialized coatings resist moisture and salt corrosion much better than cheap factory paint. This durability protects your investment against the harsh coastal climate.
Humidity often causes mold and mildew to grow in microscopic pores on worn-out porcelain surfaces. Our smooth, non-porous finish blocks moisture from sinking in, stopping mold growth in its tracks. You get a healthier bathroom environment for your whole family.
Additionally, older homes near the water often feature vintage tubs with unique shapes that modern stores do not stock. Replacing those custom pieces is nearly impossible without expensive custom carpentry work. Our technique preserves those charming historical fixtures while giving them a modern shine.
Deciding to upgrade your bathroom is the first step toward a more enjoyable home environment. You might be tired of looking at ugly rust stains or rough patches that scratch your skin. Fixing those annoying flaws makes your daily routine much more pleasant.
Naturally, you probably want to know how much this project will cost for your specific bathroom layout. Every single fixture is a little bit different, which means prices can vary based on size and damage. That is why getting a professional assessment is always the best move.
Stop putting up with an ugly, stained bathing area that brings you down every morning. Our friendly team is ready to answer your questions and talk through your options without any pressure. You deserve a sparkling clean bathroom that makes you smile.
Reach out to us right now to request your complimentary estimate and start your bathroom transformation today. We will gladly look at your project and give you an honest price with zero hidden fees. Let us help you bring your old tub back to life.
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 Dauphin Island, 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.
