Your old worn out tub looks totally awful right now, doesn't it? Right now you can get a shiny fresh bath finish without spending a huge pile of cash. Snag a free estimate today to fix up your bathroom fast.

Why Your Old Washing Basin Needs Fresh Enamel

Eventually every heavy cast iron or acrylic basin starts showing its age. Years of scrubing away soap scum strips off the top protective layer. Suddenly dirt gets stuck down in those tiny little cracks forever. You end up scrubbing until your arms ache for basically zero result.

Maybe your heavy basin has a weird ugly color from forty years ago. Nobody wants to look at avocado green or mustard yellow every morning anymore. Ripping out that heavy monster destroys your tile flooring and costs thousands of bucks. Refinishing that antique fixture completely saves your hard earned money instead.

Fortunately our local chemical coating process fixes those ugly deep chips really fast. We lay down a crazy strong bond that seals up all the cracks tight. After that liquid acrylic spreads over the whole surface like pure glass. You get a super bright finish that looks like you bought a brand new unit.

The True Costs Of Fixing Up Your Bath Fixture

Plumbing jobs always end up costing way more than guys think at first. Hiring a crew to tear out walls creates a giant messy dust cloud in your house. On top of that you gotta pay plumbers to swap out all the old copper pipes. Choosing a fresh liquid spray surface bypasses all that nasty headache completely.

Honestly doing this job yourself using a cheap box store kit usually turns into a massive nightmare. Those cheap epoxy paints peel off in tiny gross sheets after just three short weeks. Then you have to pay someone like me to sand off all your mistake layer by layer. Save yourself the stress and let a skilled guy handle the nasty fumes.

Anyway we like to keep our pricing completely upfront and simple for every homeowner. Take a quick look at how the numbers stack up for typical home projects around town:

Fixing Method Average Cost Time To Complete
Full Bath Replacement $3,500 - $8,000 1 to 2 Weeks
DIY Paint Kit $150 - $300 2 Nasty Days
Pro Surface Restoration $400 - $800 4 to 6 Hours

Clearly you see how saving your existing heavy tub makes total financial sense. Plus our free estimate lets you figure out your total job cost before spending a dime. You get to keep your cash for other cool home improvements.

Understanding How Our Liquid Surface Process Works

First off my team masks off every single inch of your bathroom wall tiles carefully. We stick heavy paper along the edges so no overspray lands on your floor. Furthermore we hook up a huge exhaust fan right out your window to pull out bad fumes. Your house stays totally clean while we do the smelly prep work.

Next we apply a heavy duty acid etch formula to strip away all old body oils. This roughs up the underlying porcelain so our new primers can grab on extremely hard. Sometimes we find rusty spots near the drain that need extra sanding and special rust blocker. We patch up those deep gouges using smooth fiberglass filler until everything feels flat.

Afterwards we spray multiple thin layers of professional high tech synthetic silane coupling agents. That chemical layer acts like superglue between the old iron base and your smooth topcoat. Finally we lay down top grade aliphatic polyurethane using a high volume low pressure sprayer. The liquid levels out completely flat and cures into a crazy hard shield.

Living In Our Awesome Local Community

Living right here in this great spot near the eastern side of Tarrant County is truly awesome. Our area sits in Tarrant County under the 76120 ZIP code area. Many families here bring in a median household income of roughly $65,000 every single year. Houses built back in the late nineties are ready for some neat updates nowadays.

Because local water here carries minerals, standard white basins gather dark yellow stains over long years. That hard water scale bakes into the original glaze under hot showers. Scrubbing with heavy bleach just damages the gloss layer worse over time. Our high gloss synthetic formula stops mineral build up cold.

Whenever you need home repairs, hiring someone who lives near your street matters a lot. We roll up right on schedule because we know all the local roads like the back of our hand. Plus we treat your home with total respect like you are our next door neighbor.

Simple Maintenance Tips To Keep Your Basin Glossy

Undoubtedly you want your fresh glassy surface to last for at least fifteen solid years. Skip those harsh abrasive scouring powders that scrape up soft gloss coats quickly. Instead just wash your basin with dish soap and a soft damp sponge every week. Simple care keeps that factory shine totally bright without any hard labor.

Additionally throw away those heavy suction cup bath mats with rough nubs on the bottom. Water gets trapped under those cups and softens the new gloss coating slowly. Moisture trapped underneath creates weird little bubbles that destroy your slick surface finish. Use a smooth soft bath mat that you pull up right after taking a warm shower.

Moreover always fix dripping bath faucets as soon as you spot water leaking down the drain. Continuous drops of heavy hot water erode even the strongest industrial polyurethane coats eventually. Taking quick care of minor leaks preserves your nice bathroom setup indefinitely.

How To Spot Bad Surface Damage Early

Frequently small problems grow into huge expensive disasters if you ignore them too long. Check around your bottom drain right now for little orange rust spots popping through. Those tiny spots mean water is eating deep into the raw cast iron metal frame beneath. Catching rust early saves the whole basin from rusting completely through.

Look real closely at the bottom floor where you stand during your daily morning shower. If the floor feels rough like coarse sandpaper, your top factory glaze is totally gone. That exposed porous core sucks up dirt and human oil like a dry bath towel. Applying fresh synthetic glaze seals up those open pores tight forever.

Pay close attention to hairline crack lines spreading out across the plastic or porcelain body. Water seeps into those tiny cracks and rots the wood subfloor down inside your subfloor. Repairing the top finish stops expensive water leaks before your floor joists rot out.

Why Professional Tools Beat Store Kits Every Single Time

Naturally folks wonder why store bought paint rolls do not deliver identical results. Store kits use cheap epoxy paint that takes three full days to dry out completely. That slow epoxy collects dust bugs and pet hair while sitting wet in your bathroom. Our professional setup uses top spray equipment that cures rock hard in mere hours.

Besides that, standard safety gear from hardware stores cannot handle strong chemical fumes safely. We wear full fresh air respirators that feed us fresh air while we spray. Professional ventilation fans pull noxious fumes safely outside your home during the entire application phase. You do not have to breathe toxic chemical fumes inside your living room.

On top of that, industrial silane primers are strictly restricted to licensed professionals with special training. You simply cannot buy high bond chemicals off a shelf at a standard local hardware shop. Those professional primers guarantee your new gloss never peels off when exposed to steaming hot water.

Prep decides everything in Eastchase

Three quiet stages carry the whole result. They are also the ones nobody sees in the after photo.

The surface earns the coating

Stage 1 of 3

The surface earns the coating

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.

Damage is filled, not painted over

Stage 2 of 3

Damage is filled, not painted over

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.

A controlled spray, not a brush

Stage 3 of 3

A controlled spray, not a brush

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.

Reglaze, liner or new tub in Eastchase

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.

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.

Fresh caulk lines

Pass 6

Fresh caulk lines

Old caulk goes out with the old finish. A new mildew-resistant bead seals tub to tile on the way out.

Refinished, not reborn

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.

What the new surface is

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.

What it is not

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.

The habits that stretch it

  • Clean with liquid bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth; abrasive powders and scouring pads are the finish's only real predators.
  • Skip suction-cup mats, or at least lift them out after the bath. Trapped water works on any coating given enough weeks.
  • Fix a dripping faucet early. A steady drip wears a track in the gloss the way it would wear a stone.
  • Rinse and wipe after bath oils and hair dye; both stain slowly when left to sit.
  • Call us about the first chip, not the fifteenth. Spot repairs on our own finish are quick and cheap.

The whole job, measured in your time in Eastchase

Two minutes

You dial the number

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 figure, spoken

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

The morning of

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

24 to 48 hours

Cure and caulk

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.

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.

How we stand behind a coating

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.

Asked while we tape the paperwork

  1. How bad is the smell, honestly?

    Strong while spraying, gone surprisingly fast. The extractor vents the room to the outside for the whole job around Eastchase, 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.

  2. When can we actually use the tub?

    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.

  3. Can the color change, or only refresh?

    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.

  4. Do fiberglass and acrylic tubs qualify?

    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.

  5. The tub was coated before and peeled. Now what?

    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.

  6. Is five years all I should hope for?

    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.
