A dull or chipped tub in Fremont 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.

Many homeowners confuse this specialized refinishing process with simply painting a tub, but the actual method is far more advanced. First, we thoroughly clean the old basin with industrial-grade prep solutions to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures that the new coatings will bond permanently to the original structure underneath.
After repairing any deep chips or rusty spots, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical superglue. Next, our experienced technicians spray multiple layers of a high-tech acrylic polymer coating using specialized ventilation equipment. This state-of-the-art material cures into an incredibly hard, glossy shell that resists scratches and looks just like factory porcelain.
To help you understand how this approach stacks up against other remodeling options, we put together a quick comparison table below.
| Project Factor | Our Coating Process | Full Replacement | Plastic Liners |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable | Extremely expensive | Moderate to high |
| Time to Complete | 4 to 6 hours | 3 to 5 days | 1 to 2 days |
| Durability | 10 to 15 years | Lifetime | Prone to leaks |
| Mess Factor | Virtually none | Massive demolition debris | Minimal |
As you can see, our restoration process offers the best balance of price and convenience. It is the perfect option for busy families who cannot afford to lose access to their only bathroom for weeks on end.
Local folks in our charming town of 1,196 residents appreciate practical solutions that do not drain their bank accounts. Since the median household income here is around $36,875, spending five grand on a bathroom contractor just does not make sense for most families. Our affordable service allows you to upgrade your home value without putting a massive dent in your savings account.
Whether your home is located in the historic heart of town or closer to the edges of the 27830 ZIP code, we treat every property with the utmost respect. We know that North Carolina homes have character, and preserving those heavy, cast-iron vintage tubs is often much better than replacing them with cheap, modern plastic ones. Our process lets you keep that solid, high-quality old-school craftsmanship while getting rid of the ugly stains.
Furthermore, we understand the unique water conditions in our region which can sometimes cause stubborn orange rust stains around your drain. Our heavy-duty primers are specifically designed to seal those areas so rust cannot bleed back through your beautiful new finish. You will finally have a bright, clean wash area that you can actually feel proud of when guests visit.
Throwing a heavy cast-iron or steel tub into a landfill is a terrible waste of resources and terrible for our local environment. By opting to recoat your existing fixture, you keep heavy construction debris out of our North Carolina landfills. It is a fantastic way to go green while simultaneously saving yourself a pile of money.
Additionally, the manufacturing of new bathroom fixtures consumes massive amounts of energy and raw materials. Restoring what you already own reduces your carbon footprint and keeps your home looking fantastic. It is a win-win situation for both your wallet and the planet.
Old, worn surfaces become incredibly porous over time, which means they trap dirt, oils, and nasty mildew like a sponge. Once we seal your fixture with our ultra-smooth glossy topcoat, those microscopic pores are completely sealed shut. This means you can say goodbye to harsh chemical cleaners and hours of painful scrubbing on your knees.
Instead, a quick wipe down with a mild soap and a soft cloth is all it takes to keep your basin shining. You will reclaim your weekends and protect your lungs from toxic bleach fumes. It makes bathroom cleaning incredibly simple and fast.
We believe in doing things right the first time, which is why we never cut corners during the preparation phase. Our technicians start by carefully masking off your bathroom walls, floor, and vanity to protect them from any overspray. We also set up a powerful exhaust fan in the window to pull any fumes safely out of your house while we work.
Once your bathroom is fully protected, we use a specialized acid paste to etch the old porcelain surface so it becomes slightly rough. This microscopic roughness is what allows our molecular bonding agent to lock onto the old tub with incredible strength. If you have any ugly chips, cracks, or deep scratches, we fill them with a waterproof polyester filler and sand them perfectly flat.
Finally, we spray on our premium topcoat using a high-volume, low-pressure system that ensures a smooth, mirror-like finish. We apply several thin coats rather than one thick one, which prevents runs and creates a much more durable surface. After a short curing period, we remove all our masking tape, clean up our workspace, and leave you with a gorgeous, sparkling washroom.
Are you ready to stop embarrassing yourself when guests ask to use your restroom? We make the entire quoting process incredibly easy, friendly, and completely free of charge. We will come out to your home, inspect your fixture, and give you an honest assessment of what it takes to make it look brand new again.
We do not believe in pushy sales tactics or hidden fees, so the price we quote you is exactly what you will pay. Our team is fully insured and highly trained, giving you total peace of mind throughout the entire project. There is absolutely no obligation to buy, so you have nothing to lose by giving us a call.
Take the first step toward a beautiful, easy-to-clean bathroom today by requesting your free on-site estimate. We love helping our neighbors fall in love with their homes all over again. Let us do the hard work while you sit back, relax, and look forward to your first soak in your beautifully restored tub!
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 Fremont, 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.
