A dull or chipped tub in Flat Lick 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.
You probably look at that scratched and stained basin in your home and wish it looked brand new again. Restoring the finish on your tub is the smartest way to upgrade your bathroom without spending a fortune on a total gut job.
Because tearing out old porcelain or fiberglass is such a massive mess, most folks prefer a quick surface refresh. This process saves you tons of cash while giving you a fresh look that lasts for many years if you take care of it right.
Instead of dealing with weeks of construction noise and dust, you can choose a finish upgrade that takes just one day. This means you avoid the headache of finding a place to shower while contractors rip your walls apart for days.
Furthermore, you keep your original plumbing and layout which is a huge win for your wallet. When you stick with what you already have, you save money on new fixtures and the labor costs that come with installing them.
Your tub gets a deep clean to remove all the grime and soap scum before the real work begins. We then repair any chips or cracks so the surface is perfectly smooth for the new layer of material.
After prepping, we apply a high-grade chemical bond that sticks like glue to your old tub. This ensures your basin stays white and shiny for a long time without peeling or flaking off like cheap paint would.
Living in a place like Flat Lick means you appreciate finding value in every single home project you start. With a median household income of twenty-two thousand dollars, every dollar you save on repairs helps you put money toward other fun things.
Even though our town has a small population of roughly thirteen hundred people, we deserve top quality work right here at home. You can keep your bathroom looking sharp and feeling pleasant without breaking your savings account or going into debt.
Many people worry about the smell during the application process, but we use modern ventilation to keep your air clear. You will notice that the chemical fumes dissipate much faster than they used to in the old days.
Following the application, you only need to wait a short time before you can use your tub again. This convenience makes it the perfect solution for busy families who need their bathroom running smoothly every single day.
| Feature of Service | Benefit for You | |
|---|---|---|
| Quick application time | You get your bathroom back fast | |
| Durable chemical bonding | Your finish resists daily wear and tear | |
| Custom color options | You match your specific bathroom decor | |
| Stain resistant surface | You spend less time scrubbing the tub |
On top of that, you can choose between a crisp white or a modern off-white to match your style. Which means your space gets that feeling of total ease and satisfaction that you really want for your morning routine.
Does the new surface feel cold or slippery? Actually, the material is designed to be just as warm to the touch as your original porcelain was.
Will it peel if I take hot baths every single day? As long as you follow the basic maintenance tips, the coating stays solid for years. We make sure the foundation is solid so the top layer has no reason to give up on you.
You should avoid using harsh scouring pads or acidic cleaners because those will scratch the new finish over time. Instead, use a mild liquid soap and a soft cloth to wipe away water spots after you finish bathing.
Because this finish is non-porous, grime does not sink in as easily as it did with your old worn-down tub. This makes your daily cleaning chores much faster and gives you more time to relax in your own home.

You know that a clean and shiny tub is the centerpiece of any nice bathroom in Kentucky. When the rest of the room looks good but the tub looks dingy, it ruins the whole vibe of the house.
By fixing the surface, you fix the look of the entire room in one fell swoop. This simple change adds a sense of comfort and satisfaction that makes your home feel much more inviting than it did before.
Compared to the price of a brand new tub plus the plumbing and tile work, this service is a steal. You save hundreds of dollars that you can put toward paint, new hardware, or even a nice set of towels.
Plus, you avoid the mess of demolition and the stress of having strangers in your home for an entire week. This is truly the most efficient path to a bathroom you can be proud of when guests come over to visit.
Do not try to use those DIY kits you see in the store because they often fail after just a few months. Those products lack the industrial strength and the proper bonding agents that we use to get professional results.
Also, try not to wait until the cracks get so deep that the subfloor underneath starts to rot. Catching the damage early is always cheaper and much easier than waiting until you have a major leak or a structural issue.

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 Flat Lick, 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.
