A dull or chipped tub in Gifford 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.
Your old tub probably looks pretty rough after years of daily use. Scraping away the grime does not work anymore because the original shine wore off a long time ago. Surface restoration offers you a brilliant way to make that dingy basin look brand new again without ripping out your walls.
By choosing this smart update you will save thousands of dollars compared to a messy remodel. Our local team visits your home to inspect the damage and provides a completely free estimate. This quick process transforms your bathroom in just a single day.
Choosing to renew instead of replace means you avoid weeks of dusty construction delays. You also get to keep your sturdy old cast iron fixture which is likely built way better than modern plastic replacements. Let us help you bring back that sparkling clean feeling to your daily routine.
Many folks do not realize that the dull look on their fixture is actually just worn-out glaze. Over time harsh chemical cleaners scratch the protective topcoat and leave the porous material underneath exposed to stains. Our specialized resurfacing process seals those tiny pores with a tough new defensive layer.
First we chemically clean the area to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. Next we repair any deep chips or rust spots using high-grade fillers that bond directly to the old substrate. Finally we spray on a premium high-gloss coating that cures into a rock-solid shield.
| Step of the Process | What We Do | Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Cleaning | Remove soap scum and oils | Ensures new coating sticks perfectly |
| Surface Repair | Fix chips, cracks, and rust | Creates a smooth, flawless finish |
| Bonding Agent | Apply molecular primer | Prevents peeling and bubbling later |
| Topcoat Spraying | Apply multi-layered acrylic glaze | Delivers a brilliant, glassy shine |
This method works beautifully on cast iron, steel, and even modern fiberglass showers. Because we use commercial-grade bonding agents you do not have to worry about the new surface peeling off when you take a hot bath. You get a gorgeous shiny finish that looks identical to a brand new installation.
Living in this quiet pocket of Hampton County means appreciating the value of a dollar and keeping things running right. With a local median household income of around $26,500, spending five grand on a bathroom remodel just does not make sense. Our affordable enamel coating service lets you stretch your hard-earned money much further.
We love serving the friendly residents across the 29923 ZIP code area with honest craftsmanship. Since our town has a small population of just 287 people, we treat every single customer like our closest neighbor. You get personalized, friendly service from a contractor who actually cares about your home.
Our deep understanding of local water conditions helps us choose the perfect materials for your specific home. High humidity in this beautiful southern region can sometimes make DIY paint kits fail within a few months. Our professional-grade ventilation and curing equipment ensure a perfect bond that withstands the local climate for years.
You might see cheap epoxy kits at the local hardware store and think about tackling this job yourself. However, those roll-on products often leave ugly brush marks and start peeling within a few weeks. Our specialized spray equipment creates a perfectly smooth finish that a brush simply cannot match.
In addition, the fumes from consumer-grade kits can be incredibly strong and even dangerous without proper safety gear. We use high-powered exhaust systems to pull all the vapors out of your home while we work. This keeps your family safe and ensures your indoor air stays clean and breathable.
Older homes in South Carolina often feature gorgeous antique fixtures that have unique shapes and incredible durability. Replacing these classic pieces usually requires breaking them into pieces or tearing down doorways just to get them out. Our on-site porcelain restoration preserves that historic character while making the surface look pristine.
This means you get to keep the deep, comfortable soaking depth of your original classic tub. We can even customize the color if you want to move away from outdated shades like pink or avocado green. You get to enjoy the best of both worlds: vintage quality combined with a clean, modern look.
The secret to a durable finish lies entirely in how we prepare the underlying material. We never just spray over dirt or damage because we know that leads to immediate failure. Our meticulous preparation process takes up about eighty percent of the time we spend in your bathroom.
After we repair any structural imperfections, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically fuses the new glaze to the old porcelain. This creates a single, inseparable layer that resists impacts and thermal shock from hot water. You can trust that your newly coated basin will easily handle the demands of daily family life.
To keep your renewed surface looking amazing, you simply need to avoid abrasive cleaners. Mild dish soap and a soft sponge are all it takes to maintain that brilliant glass-like luster. This easy maintenance routine saves you time and keeps your bathroom looking fresh with minimal effort.
Are you ready to stop hiding your ugly bathroom behind a thick shower curtain? Our friendly local team is standing by to help you plan this simple, affordable home improvement. We will visit your house, look over your fixture, and give you a detailed price quote with zero obligations.

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 Gifford, 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.
