A dull or chipped tub in Gandertown 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.
Are you tired of looking at that gross chipped wash tub in your bathroom? Fixing this eyesome feature lets you enjoy a fresh bathing space without spending a fortune.
Now, nobody wants to rip out their entire plumbing setup just because the finish looks dated. This smart service saves you massive amounts of cash compared to total replacement.
Do you notice stubborn stains that never seem to go away no matter how much you scrub? Such stubborn discoloration happens when the original protective gloss wears completely thin over decades of heavy daily scrubbing.
Plus, rough patches trap dirt and bacteria which makes cleaning feel like an endless chore. Fixing that tired surface gives you a smooth barrier that wipes clean effortlessly every single time.
What exactly happens during this chemical transformation process inside your restroom? Skilled pros spray a specialized bonding agent and high grade acrylic polyurethane coating right over your existing fixture.
Before any spraying begins, technicians etch the porcelain or fiberglass so the fresh material sticks permanently. This meticulous preparation prevents peeling and ensures your renewed basin withstands countless future baths.
Did you know our tiny slice of the Bluegrass State holds a population of roughly 838 residents? Living in zip code 40701 means we value honest local craftsmanship and neighborly reliability above all else.
Even though our area boasts a modest median household income, keeping your home gorgeous should never feel financially out of reach. That exact reality is why getting local help remains the smartest move for budget conscious homeowners.
Would you rather deal with weeks of demolition mess or a quick one day fix? Tearing out old cast iron requires sledgehammers, broken tiles, and massive plumbing bills that drain your savings fast.
Alternatively, professional resurfacing skips the demolition phase entirely and leaves your surrounding walls completely untouched. This method delivers dramatic visual upgrades while protecting your hard earned money.
How much money do you actually save by choosing restoration over buying a brand new tub? Traditional bathroom overhauls often cost thousands of dollars once you factor in labor and tile repair.
Meanwhile, our affordable renewal option typically costs a tiny fraction of that heavy price tag. This huge difference lets you allocate funds toward other important household projects.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| Full Demolition and Replacement | Very High | One to Two Weeks |
| Professional Surface Restoration | Low to Moderate | Just One Day |
Are you wondering how long the actual work takes inside your house? Most projects wrap up in just a few hours from the moment our crew arrives at your door.
First, we ventilate the area properly because the bonding fumes require strong airflow during application. Next, we mask off your floors and surrounding walls to prevent any stray overspray.
Can you use your newly coated washing vessel right after the technicians leave? You must wait roughly twenty four to forty eight hours for the chemical bonds to cure completely.
During this curing window, keep the surface totally dry and avoid placing any heavy bath mats inside. Following these simple rules guarantees a rock hard finish that lasts for many years.
Do you want to know the secret to keeping your updated fixture looking brand new? Harsh abrasive cleansers will scratch the fresh polyurethane coat very quickly if you use them.
Instead, grab mild dish soap and a soft sponge during your weekly bathroom cleaning routine. This gentle approach preserves the brilliant shine without damaging the delicate protective topcoat.
Have you ever dropped a heavy glass bottle on your porcelain tub and watched it chip? While the new coating is remarkably tough, sharp impacts can still cause surface damage.
Always store your shampoo bottles on proper shower shelves rather than balancing them on the rim. Such small habits prevent accidental chips and keep your investment looking pristine.
Should you attempt a DIY spray kit from the big box hardware store this weekend? Store bought aerosol cans rarely provide the thick, uniform coverage that professional grade HVLP sprayers deliver.
Amateur attempts often bubble, peel, or yellow prematurely due to improper surface etching and cheap materials. Hiring seasoned local pros guarantees proper execution and saves you from a costly second attempt.
Are you ready to experience top tier customer service right here in Kentucky? We take immense pride in transforming outdated bathrooms into stunning sanctuaries for our local friends.
Every single project receives our absolute best effort from the initial prep work to the final polish. Your total satisfaction drives our daily mission to deliver exceptional results.
Does the fresh coating produce a harsh chemical smell throughout your entire house? While there is a noticeable odor during the spraying phase, our industrial ventilation fans exhaust it quickly.
Will the brilliant white finish turn yellow over time under normal bathroom lighting? Modern acrylic coatings feature UV blockers that resist fading and keep your basin glowing brightly.
How many years can you realistically expect your restored wash basin to survive? With proper maintenance and gentle cleaning habits, this durable finish easily lasts ten to fifteen years.
That impressive lifespan rivals the durability of a brand new factory built fixture at a fraction of the cost. This incredible value makes restoration the smartest choice for savvy homeowners.

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 Gandertown, 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.
