A dull or chipped tub in Florence 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.
Do you hate looking at your stained and chipped bathroom centerpiece every single morning? Well this local service fixes old washing vessels fast. Which means you save thousands compared to a full demolition.
Pulling out an old bathroom fixture creates a massive mess inside your home. Plumbers charge crazy fees to reroute drain pipes and haul heavy iron chunks away. That process wrecks surrounding tile floors and tears up drywall. Consequently you face weeks of construction dust floating everywhere.
Instead of all that headache our local crew arrives with professional spray gear to fix your stained fixture right in place. This lets you skip expensive plumbing bills and messy tear-outs entirely. Your family avoids living in a construction zone for weeks on end.
Before we touch your tub we scrub every square inch using industrial cleaning agents to remove soap scum. Then we apply a strong etching acid to open up microscopic pores in the porcelain. This deep preparation step ensures the new coating grabs onto the original surface like super glue.
After prepping we spray a high-grade acrylic polyurethane coating over the entire wash basin. This liquid layer cures into a hard finish that feels remarkably smooth and cozy against your skin. You get a brand new look without spending a fortune on plumbing contractors.
When our technicians mix the bonding agent they wear heavy respirators to stay safe from fumes. Next they mask off your bathroom walls and floors with heavy plastic sheeting to prevent overspray accidents. You never have to worry about paint drops ruining your vanity or toilet.
Following the masking stage we use a high-volume low-pressure spray gun to apply multiple glossy layers. Each pass builds a thick protective shield that resists chipping and scratching for years. This meticulous approach guarantees a gorgeous aesthetic that brightens up your morning routine.
Once the final topcoat goes on your soaking vessel needs about twenty four hours to dry completely. During this curing window nobody should touch the surface or let water drip from the faucet. This patience rewards you with a rock-hard shield that withstands daily showers easily.
After the drying period passes you can fill the tub for a relaxing soak whenever you desire. The shiny finish cleans up effortlessly with mild dish soap and a soft sponge. That easy maintenance saves you precious time on weekend chores.
Homeowners living around Boone County deal with hard water that leaves ugly mineral deposits on porcelain fixtures over time. With a median household income of fifty seven thousand dollars most families prefer smart upgrades over costly bathroom remodels. Our crew proudly serves the thirty one thousand nine hundred forty residents across local ZIP codes including 41022 and 41042.
| Project Detail | Traditional Replacement | Our Surface Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Five thousand dollars | Under five hundred dollars |
| Time Required | One to two weeks | Just one single day |
| Mess Level | Extreme debris and dust | Zero mess left behind |
Beyond saving money keeping your old tub out of the landfill helps the local environment stay green. Modern recycling plants appreciate fewer heavy cast iron chunks taking up precious space. Therefore you protect nature while upgrading your interior spaces.
Most people stick with a classic bright white finish to make small bathrooms feel much larger. However we also offer biscuit almond and bone shades if you prefer a warmer vintage aesthetic. This flexibility lets you match existing bathroom tiles without repainting the entire room.
Whenever sunlight hits the fresh high-gloss coating the whole space feels infinitely brighter and more luxurious. You will actually enjoy spending time getting ready for work each morning. That psychological boost makes your daily routine feel infinitely better.
Our polite technicians show up right on time with all the necessary masking supplies and ventilation fans. We set up exhaust tubes through the nearest window to vent out any strong chemical smells safely. You can relax in another room while we work our magic on your tired basin.
Throughout the project we treat your property with absolute respect by wearing boot covers indoors. When we finish up we pack away all trash and leave your bathroom cleaner than we found it. That professional courtesy sets our local crew apart from lazy contractors.
Avoiding abrasive scouring powders is the best way to protect your newly refinished washing basin from premature wear. Instead grab a gentle liquid cleanser and a non-scratch nylon pad for your weekly cleaning sessions. This simple habit preserves the factory-like shine for well over a decade.
Additionally you should fix any dripping faucets promptly to prevent mineral rings from forming on the fresh surface. Standing water mixed with leaky valves can degrade even the toughest industrial coatings over many years. Taking care of small plumbing leaks protects your financial investment.
Upgrading your stained washing basin does not have to drain your bank account or disrupt your daily routine. Reach out right now to request your absolutely free quote from our friendly local team. We cannot wait to transform your bathroom into a stunning oasis you love showing off to visitors.
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 Florence, 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.
