A dull or chipped tub in Douglass Hills 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.
Maybe your old tub looks like it survived a war.
Which means you hate looking at those ugly stains every single morning.
Fortunately, our local team can completely renew that worn-out surface for you today!
Actually, we bring specialized equipment right to your home to spray a beautiful, durable new coating over your existing basin.
This lets you avoid the massive headache of a full demolition.
Plus, we always provide a 100% free estimate before we start any work.
Imagine stepping into a sparkling, clean tub tomorrow.
That is exactly what our quick resurfacing process does.
We love helping homeowners fall in love with their bathrooms all over again!
First of all, ripping out an old cast iron or steel basin is an absolute nightmare.
You will probably have to break your gorgeous wall tiles just to get the old monster out.
On top of that, plumbers charge an arm and a leg these days.
This is where our custom surface refinishing process saves the day.
Instead of paying thousands of dollars for a messy replacement, you only pay a fraction of the cost.
We simply mask off your bathroom, repair any chips, and apply a glossy new topcoat that looks identical to brand new porcelain.
To give you a better idea of how these two options compare, we put together a quick breakdown of what you can expect.
| Factor | Full Replacement | Our Specialized Coating Service |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very high (often thousands of dollars) | Extremely affordable |
| Time to Complete | Up to a week of loud construction | Usually finished in just one single day |
| Mess and Dust | Plaster dust everywhere in your house | Virtually none because we seal the room |
Clearly, choosing to recoat your existing fixture is the smarter path.
Our friendly crew handles everything from start to finish.
You get to sit back, relax, and watch the magic happen.
Before we even think about spraying our high-tech compounds, we clean the area with industrial-strength prep agents.
Which means we strip away every single bit of old soap scum, body oil, and mineral deposits.
If we do not get the surface completely clean, the new bond will fail, and we refuse to let that happen.
Next, we carefully patch any deep scratches, rust spots, or ugly dings with a specialized waterproof filler.
This restores the original contour of your basin so it feels perfectly smooth to the touch.
After that, we apply an advanced molecular bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old porcelain and the new finish.
Now, we use professional spray equipment to lay down multiple layers of an incredibly tough acrylic urethane coating.
This specific material is designed to withstand hot water, heavy use, and common household cleaners.
We apply it with precision to ensure there are absolutely no runs, drips, or uneven spots in the final look.
Once the final layer cures, you are left with a high-gloss luster that looks like it just came from a showroom floor.
To keep it looking great, you just need to wipe it down with a non-abrasive sponge.
This simple care routine ensures your newly coated fixture stays bright and beautiful for many years down the road.

Potential buyers love seeing a bright, clean washroom.
Our services give you that premium feel without draining your hard-earned savings account.
To be completely honest with you, this system does have a couple of minor downsides.
For example, you cannot use super harsh chemicals like bleach or abrasive steel wool pads to clean the new surface anymore.
If you use those rough products, you will dull the beautiful gloss over time.
Another thing to consider is the temporary odor during the spraying process.
Although we use powerful exhaust fans to vent the fumes out of your window, a slight chemical smell can linger for a few hours.
However, this minor inconvenience is a very small price to pay for a gorgeous bathroom upgrade that lasts for years.
Ultimately, the benefits far outweigh these small limitations.

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 Douglass Hills, 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.
