A dull or chipped tub in East Bernard 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 wash basin looks like it survived a small war. Fortunately, you can actually transform that dull, stained fixture into a sparkling masterpiece without tearing out your walls or spending a fortune. Our local crew travels right to your home in Wharton County to make those ugly scratches and yellowed surfaces vanish in just a single afternoon.
Now, you might think a complete replacement is your only option. Honestly, that route costs a mountain of cash and creates a massive, dusty mess in your house. By choosing to refinish the existing setup, you save thousands of dollars while getting that same glossy, clean look you crave.
Because we believe in making things easy, we offer a completely free estimate for your project. This means you get a clear, honest price upfront without any sneaky hidden fees or obligations. You can finally start planning your home improvement project with total peace of mind.
Essentially, this specialized process involves applying a high-performance, industrial-grade coating over your existing cast iron, steel, or fiberglass basin. First, we deep clean the area with professional cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. After that, we repair any deep chips or cracks so the foundation feels perfectly smooth to the touch.
To ensure the new finish sticks forever, we apply a proprietary bonding agent. This critical step acts like a super-glue between the old material and the fresh topcoat. Next, we spray several coats of a high-gloss acrylic polymer that cures into a rock-hard, shiny shell.

Living in East Bernard, Texas, means appreciating hard work, sensible spending, and keeping our homes looking great. With a local median household income of around $62,500, spending five grand on a bathroom remodel just does not make financial sense for most families here. Our budget-friendly restoration service fits perfectly into your financial plans while delivering premium, high-end visual results.
Throughout the 77435 ZIP code, many homes feature older, sturdy fixtures that were built to last but have simply lost their original shine over the decades. Instead of throwing away high-quality vintage cast iron, we preserve that heavy-duty craftsmanship while giving it a modern face-lift. This smart approach keeps durable materials out of our local landfills while upgrading your interior design.
On top of that, our small-town population of 2,668 means we treat every single client like our closest neighbor. We show up on time, respect your property, and clean up every speck of dust before we leave. You get the personalized, friendly service you deserve from a local team that truly cares about the community.
If you decide to rip out your old tub, you have to hire a plumber, a tile setter, and a trash hauler. Those separate labor costs add up incredibly fast and can easily drain your savings account. Our all-in-one restoration process bypasses those expensive steps, keeping your hard-earned money right where it belongs.
Additionally, older plumbing pipes often crack or leak when workers try to disconnect them during a full demolition. By leaving the main drain and overflow pipes untouched, you avoid these unexpected, expensive plumbing emergencies. We work with what you already have to deliver a flawless finish for a fraction of the price.
Sometimes, heavy dropped objects leave nasty black dings in your porcelain that look absolutely terrible. We use specialized polyester fillers to patch these craters, sanding them flush so they completely disappear under the new glaze. This meticulous prep work ensures your finished surface looks uniform, smooth, and completely factory-new.
If rust has started eating around your drain, we grind away the decay and apply a rust-inhibiting primer. This stops the oxidation process in its tracks, preventing future damage from ruining your beautiful new finish. Our durable repairs extend the lifespan of your fixtures by another ten to fifteen years with proper care.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom using protective plastic sheeting and painter's tape. This step shields your vanity, toilet, floor, and walls from any overspray or dust. We also install a powerful ventilation fan in the window to draw any fumes safely out of your home.
Next, we use a specialized chemical etching agent on porcelain or ceramic surfaces to create microscopic pores. This process gives the new coating a textured grip to cling to, ensuring it never peels or bubbles up over time. For fiberglass units, we use a different, gentler prep method that achieves the exact same ultra-strong bond.
After the prep work is complete, we spray the high-grade acrylic polyurethane topcoat using professional spray equipment. This tool allows us to lay down a perfectly even, mirror-like layer without any brush strokes or runs. Once cured, this material delivers a brilliant gloss that looks identical to brand new porcelain.
To keep your newly glazed surface looking pristine, you must avoid harsh abrasive cleaners like bleach or scouring powders. Instead, simply wipe it down with a mild liquid dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth. This gentle cleaning routine preserves the shiny topcoat and prevents microscopic scratches from dulling the gloss.
Also, try to avoid leaving wet washcloths or bottles of shampoo sitting directly on the surface for long periods. Standing water trapped under bottles can slowly weaken the bond over several years. By practicing these simple maintenance habits, your gorgeous wash area will remain bright and beautiful for a very long time.

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 East Bernard, 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.
