A dull or chipped tub in Garden Ridge 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 staring at that stained bathtub every single morning? Fortunately, our local team brings tired bathroom basins back to life without total replacement. This means you save serious money while enjoying a fresh aesthetic.
Plucking out an old tub takes days of demolition and creates giant messes. Furthermore, you risk damaging your plumbing lines during messy removal projects. Which means you deal with extra stress that nobody really wants.
Instead of ripping everything apart, our local crew applies a durable chemical bond directly over the existing fixture. This lets you skip weeks of messy construction work entirely. On top of that, your daily routine stays completely uninterrupted.
Our technicians start by thoroughly scrubbing your porcelain or fiberglass basin to remove stubborn soap scum. Then, we apply an acid etch to open up microscopic pores in the material. This guarantees the brand new coating sticks permanently.
Next comes the application of a industrial-grade primer and topcoat using a professional HVLP sprayer. Consequently, you get a glossy finish that looks and feels brand new. Best of all, this whole makeover wraps up in just one single afternoon.
Replacing a built-in tub can easily cost thousands of dollars when you factor in labor. However, our specialized refinishing service usually costs a fraction of that big price tag. This lets you redirect your hard-earned cash toward other home improvement projects.
Nobody likes dealing with toxic fumes lingering in their house for days on end. Fortunately, our low-VOC coatings dry quickly and minimize harsh odors during application. Which means your family stays safe and happy throughout the entire procedure.
Living in Comal County means dealing with hard water minerals that ruin bathroom fixtures fast. Because of this local issue, standard DIY kits usually peel off within a few short months. Thankfully, our commercial-grade resins stand up tough against harsh mineral deposits.
Our technicians know the local housing market inside and out because we live right here too. With a cozy population hovering around 3,887 residents, we treat every single client like a close neighbor. That commitment to quality sets us apart from big national franchises.
Property values remain strong in this wonderful area where the median household income sits nicely at $131,471. Updating your bathroom fixtures makes great financial sense if you plan to sell your house soon. Buyers love walking into a pristine washroom with zero grime.

Many folks wonder if patching up an old basin is actually better than buying a new one. To help you decide, let us break down the numbers and facts right now. Here is a handy comparison chart for your review.
| Comparison Factor | Total Replacement | Surface Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Time | One to two weeks | Just one single day |
| Mess and Debris | Heavy drywall and tile damage | Zero structural mess |
| Approximate Expense | Extremely high costs | Budget-friendly pricing |
Clearly, restoring your existing fixture is the smartest route for busy homeowners. You avoid structural repairs while getting that sleek, polished look back. Plus, the surface becomes remarkably easy to wipe down.
Taking care of your newly coated fixture requires just a few simple cleaning habits. Always avoid abrasive scouring powders that can scratch the glossy topcoat over time. Instead, grab a mild dish soap and a soft sponge for weekly maintenance.
Wiping down the surface after every use prevents stubborn mineral buildup from forming again. Because the new finish is non-porous, grime slides right off without heavy scrubbing. This lets you keep your washroom sparkling with minimal effort.
Do you notice ugly rust stains creeping out from around the drain opening? That means the protective layer has worn down and exposed the bare metal underneath. Left untreated, those ugly spots will only grow larger and harder to fix.
Maybe your once-white basin has turned a dull yellow shade that refuses to wash clean. No amount of bleach will restore that lost factory shine once the enamel wears thin. Luckily, our restorative coatings instantly wipe away years of discoloration.
Fixing your worn-out bathroom fixture is easier than you probably imagined possible. All you need to do is reach out to our friendly scheduling team right now. We provide honest, upfront pricing with absolutely zero hidden fees.

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 Garden Ridge, 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.

The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
