A dull or chipped tub in East Brainerd does not need a demolition crew. It needs one technician, one day and a sprayed finish that shines.

This smart technique involves applying a high-performance coating over your existing cast iron, steel, or fiberglass basin. First, we clean the area with specialized industrial prep agents to strip away years of soap scum and hard water deposits. After repairing any deep chips or cracks, we spray on a premium, multi-layer topcoat that bonds at a molecular level.
Because we use advanced bonding agents, the new surface will not peel or crack under normal use. This means you get a non-porous, highly hygienic barrier that resists mold and mildew growth. Cleaning becomes an absolute breeze because dirt simply slides off the glossy layer.
To help you compare your options, we created a quick breakdown of how our process matches up against traditional replacement.

| Project Time | Finished in just a few hours | Can take several days or weeks |
| Mess & Dust | Virtually none, very clean process | Major demolition dust and debris |
| Lifespan | Excellent longevity with simple care | Long-lasting but requires heavy construction |
Living in this beautiful corner of Hamilton County means enjoying a great quality of life with a median household income of around $71,000. Many of the 14,132 residents here love preserving the character of their homes while upgrading the interiors. Our service fits perfectly into this mindset because it respects your budget and your busy schedule.
Whether you reside in the 37421 ZIP code or nearby areas, we understand the local water conditions and how they affect bathroom fixtures. Hard water can leave ugly mineral deposits that seem impossible to scrub away. Our specialized topcoat prevents these minerals from sticking, which keeps your bathroom looking immaculate with minimal effort.
On top of that, we pride ourselves on being friendly neighbors who treat your property with the utmost respect. We mask off the entire work area and use powerful ventilation systems to extract fumes while we work. You get a flawless, factory-like glaze without any chemical smells lingering in your living spaces.
Older tubs often feature heavy duty cast iron construction that retains heat much better than modern, cheap plastic replacements. Keeping your original fixture means you get to enjoy warmer, longer baths while saving money. Our thick protective coating adds a touch of modern luxury to that classic, sturdy structure.
This sustainable choice also keeps heavy, non-biodegradable materials out of our local landfills. You do your part for the environment while enjoying a gorgeous, stain-resistant surface that looks identical to brand-new porcelain. It is a win-win situation for your wallet and the planet.
We begin by carefully inspecting the integrity of your current bathroom setup to ensure it is a good candidate for our bonding process. Next, we seal off the room with plastic sheeting to protect your floors, walls, and vanity from any overspray. Then, we apply a specialized etching compound that creates microscopic grooves in the old enamel to ensure the new coating locks on permanently.
Once the surface is completely dry and primed, we use professional spray equipment to apply several thin, even layers of our high-tech resin. This meticulous spraying technique prevents runs and drips, which guarantees a perfectly smooth, mirror-like finish. Finally, we remove all our masking materials and leave your bathroom clean, tidy, and ready to use after a short curing period.
To keep your newly restored surface looking pristine for years to come, you should avoid abrasive cleaners like bleach or scrubbing powders. Simply wiping the surface down with a mild liquid soap and a soft sponge keeps the shine alive. This easy maintenance routine ensures your investment looks fantastic for a decade or more.
Many people worry that their fixture is too far gone because of ugly rust spots around the drain or deep chips in the enamel. Fortunately, our skilled technicians use waterproof polyester fillers to repair these damaged areas before applying the final glaze. We sand these patches down until they are completely flush with the surrounding material, making the old damage totally invisible.
This thorough preparation work prevents future rust from bubbling up and ruining your new finish. We do not just cover up the problems; we solve them from the foundation up. You get peace of mind knowing the underlying structure is stable, sealed, and fully protected from moisture.

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 Brainerd, 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.
