A dull or chipped tub in Galloway 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 that scratched up tub every single morning while you brush your teeth? Now is the best time to fix this issue without breaking your bank account. This lets you save thousands of dollars compared to ripping out your whole plumbing fixture.
Today we want to talk about giving your old washing basin a brand new face. Which means you can skip the dust and contractor mess entirely. On top of that, your morning routine will feel much more luxurious very soon.
Tearing out a solid cast iron tub creates a massive headache for any homeowner. Eventually you find yourself dealing with broken tiles and damaged drywall. This forces you to spend extra money on repairs you did not plan for.
Instead of doing all that crazy demolition work, you can just coat the existing shell. That option keeps your original plumbing intact and saves your backyard from junk piles. Meanwhile, you keep your weekend free for relaxing instead of swinging a sledgehammer.
First we clean your stained basin using strong chemical strippers and heavy duty scouring pads. Then we etch the porcelain or fiberglass so the fresh resin sticks tightly. After that step, we spray several layers of high tech coating.
This creates a smooth and shiny finish that looks just like a brand new product from the showroom. Plus, the fresh barrier resists mold growth and soap scum buildup with zero trouble. Because of this smart upgrade, cleaning your bathroom takes half the time.
Down in Jefferson County, folks know how to appreciate hardworking local tradespeople who show up on time. Even though our community only has seventy one residents, we still deserve top tier home improvements. That means you get personalized attention from someone who cares about your property.
Maybe you live around the local ZIP codes where houses have seen decades of wear and tear. No matter your specific address, your battered washing basin needs some serious love. Fortunately, getting local help is easier than ever when you know who to call.
| Feature | Traditional Tear Out | Modern Surface Coating |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Extremely High | Very Affordable |
| Time Required | Several Weeks | Just One Day |
| Mess Level | Destructive | Zero Dust |
Whenever you check the median household income for our region, you realize budgets matter a lot. Therefore, throwing away money on full bathroom remodels makes very little fiscal sense. Instead, choosing a smart surface revival lets you keep cash in your pocket.
Rust spots and ugly chemical burns make your bathroom look downright scary to guests. Fortunately, our professional bonding agents fill in every single crack and deep scratch. This gives you a uniform texture that feels great against your skin.
Sometimes older fixtures develop rough patches that trap dirt no matter how hard you scrub. By applying a fresh layer of industrial polymer, we seal those microscopic pores completely. Consequently, dirt slides right down the drain instead of sticking around.
When our truck pulls up to your driveway, you can relax because we bring all the necessary gear. First we set up proper ventilation fans to keep your indoor air fresh and clean. Then we mask off your surrounding walls and floors to protect everything else.
Most projects take just a few hours from start to finish without disrupting your entire day. Afterwards, you simply wait for the curing process to finish before testing the water. This means you can take a nice warm soak by tomorrow evening.
White remains a classic choice that makes small bathrooms feel bright and open. However, modern trends include almond and biscuit tones that match vintage floor tiles. This lets you customize the final look to match your personal taste.
Selecting a high gloss finish bounces natural light around the room in wonderful ways. Meanwhile, satin options provide a more subtle appearance that hides water spots effortlessly. Either way, your investment upgrades the overall vibe of your house instantly.
Some folks worry that sprayed coatings will peel off after just a few months of normal use. Actually, professional grade bonding agents create a molecular grip that lasts for many years. Provided you use non abrasive cleaners, your shiny new surface stays gorgeous.
Another silly rumor is that the chemical smell lingers in your house for weeks. In reality, our commercial exhaust systems pull all the fumes outside immediately. Because of this setup, your family stays safe and comfortable the whole time.
Keeping your newly coated fixture looking pristine requires very little effort on your part. Simply use mild dish soap and a soft sponge during your weekly cleaning routine. That habit prevents soap scum from hardening on the protective barrier.
Avoid throwing heavy metal tools or sharp objects directly onto the coated floor. While the material is tough, unnecessary abuse shortens the lifespan of your upgrade. Treating your freshly sprayed tub with care ensures maximum durability.
Waiting around for your bathroom problems to fix themselves only leads to more frustration. Right now is the best moment to take action and schedule your professional evaluation. This lets you find out exactly what your project needs without any guesswork.
Just reach out to our team today to request your FREE quote for this transformative service. We will gladly look at your worn fixture and give you honest pricing upfront. Let us help you fall back in love with your home.
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 Galloway, 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.
