All over Franklin Parish, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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 stare at those ugly stains every single time you try to take a relaxing bath. This makes you feel like you are scrubbing a giant potato instead of washing up in a clean basin. Fortunately, our local crew visits homes all over this beautiful region to make worn-out bathroom fixtures look brand new again without the high cost of a full remodel.
If you want to save thousands of dollars, we are ready to help you out. By choosing our specialized resurfacing service, you get to keep your heavy cast iron or steel tub while giving it a shiny new coat. We can stop by your home today to give you a totally free quote on this fast upgrade.
To begin with, ripping out an old bath basin is a complete nightmare that involves dusty sledgehammers and angry plumbers. This messy process usually destroys your floor tiles and ruins the surrounding drywall. After that, you have to pay a fortune just to haul the heavy trash away to the local landfill.
In addition to that mess, buying a cheap plastic replacement feels like a major downgrade. Most modern acrylic tubs feel flimsy under your feet when you stand in them. By keeping your original heavy-duty fixture, you retain that solid, premium feel while enjoying a sparkling clean surface.
Naturally, you might worry about how long the whole process takes. While a full bathroom renovation can drag on for weeks, our chemical bonding process takes just a few hours. This means you can go back to using your shower the very next day without any stress.
To start the job, we thoroughly clean the old surface with specialized acid cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum. This crucial step ensures that our new coatings will stick properly to the old porcelain. If we skip this part, the new finish would just peel off like a bad sunburn.
Following that deep clean, we patch up every single chip, rust spot, and scratch with a waterproof filler. This makes the damaged areas completely disappear under the new layers. You will not even remember where the old rusty spots used to be once we finish.
To ensure a permanent bond, we spray a proprietary molecular primer onto the clean porcelain. This invisible layer acts like a super-strong double-sided tape for the final finish. Which means the new shiny coating actually fuses with the old cast iron on a microscopic level.
After the primer cures, we carefully apply several layers of a high-gloss acrylic urethane topcoat. This specific material mimics the original factory glaze perfectly while resisting hot water and daily wear. On top of that, it creates a non-porous barrier that is incredibly easy to wipe clean.
| Feature of Our Service | Concrete Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Molecular bonding primer | Prevents peeling and ensures your new finish lasts for many years. |
| No-demolition process | Saves you from dusty mess, loud noise, and expensive tile repairs. |
| High-gloss acrylic urethane | Gives you a shiny, bright surface that looks like brand new porcelain. |
| Completed in one afternoon | Lets you use your bathroom again in just twenty-four hours. |
When you look at the numbers, remodeling a bathroom can easily drain your bank account. Many homeowners in our corner of the Pelican State get shocked by the crazy labor rates of local remodeling companies. Our affordable restoration process gives you the exact same visual result for a fraction of the cost.
Because we do not have to tear down walls, we pass those massive savings directly to you. This lets you spend your money on other fun things, like a nice weekend trip or some new patio furniture. Why pay for a massive construction crew when one skilled technician can do the trick in an afternoon?
If you live in the area, you probably know how important it is to keep things simple and practical. Our local parish has a tight-knit population of just over twenty thousand hard-working folks who appreciate honest value. Whether your home sits near the local high school or out in the quiet countryside, we are happy to drive out to your place.
To keep your restored tub looking brilliant, you must throw away those harsh abrasive scouring powders. Strong chemicals can dull the shiny finish over time and make it look cloudy. Instead, you should use mild dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner with a soft microfiber cloth.
By using gentle cleaning habits, you will protect the shiny coat from getting micro-scratches. This simple care routine ensures your tub stays bright and slick for over a decade. It actually makes cleaning your bathroom much faster because dirt cannot stick to the new surface...
To be completely fair with you, this process is not a magical fix for a completely crushed or cracked tub. If your heavy iron basin is literally rusted all the way through, you might actually need a replacement. However, if your tub is just dull, stained, or chipped, our restoration method is absolutely perfect for you.
Another thing to consider is the temporary smell during the spraying process. We use strong professional coatings that have a distinct chemical odor while we apply them. To solve this, we bring powerful exhaust fans to vent the fumes safely out of your bathroom window.
Once the coating cures, the smell completely vanishes, leaving you with a fresh and clean space. This small temporary inconvenience is a very minor price to pay for a gorgeous bathroom upgrade. Most of our friendly neighbors agree that the beautiful result is well worth a couple of hours of paint smell.
If you hire a giant national franchise, you often end up dealing with sub-contractors who do not really care about your home. We live right here in the community, so we treat your house with the utmost respect. We sweep up our mess and leave your bathroom cleaner than we found it.

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, 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.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
