All over Gilmer County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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.
Maybe you look at that stained, outdated basin every single morning and feel a little bit of sadness creep in. That old relic from another decade has lost its shine, and cleaning it feels like an absolute waste of your precious time.
Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to fix this annoying eyesore.
Our local crew specializes in reviving those worn-out surfaces right in your home, which means you get to keep your hard-earned cash while enjoying a sparkling clean space.
By choosing to update what you already have, you escape the loud, dusty nightmare of traditional remodeling.
Now, this budget-friendly magic trick is available right in your neighborhood, so you can stop staring at those ugly chips and stains today.
When you first think about fixing up a battered washroom, your brain probably jumps straight to buying a brand new tub.
However, ripping out an existing cast iron or steel basin is an absolute nightmare that often involves breaking walls, messing up plumbing, and destroying your beautiful floor tiles.
This destructive path quickly turns a simple weekend project into a multi-week financial disaster.
On top of that, many older homes feature incredibly sturdy, high-quality fixtures that actually boast better craftsmanship than the flimsy plastic options sold at big-box stores today.
Keeping your original heavy-duty model is a smart move because those vintage pieces have character and strength you cannot easily buy anymore.
Which means you can preserve the charm of your home while completely upgrading its daily usability.
Our specialized liquid-porcelain coating process bonds directly to your old surface, creating a gorgeous, high-gloss shield that looks and feels exactly like a brand new installation.
First, we carefully prepare the entire work area to ensure your bathroom stays completely safe and clean throughout the transformation.
We mask off your walls, protect your floors, and set up a powerful ventilation system to pull any fumes directly out of your house.
This setup process protects your belongings from any overspray or dust, giving you total peace of mind while we do our job.
Next, we apply a specialized chemical cleaner to strip away years of soap scum, body oils, and stubborn mineral deposits.
To ensure the new finish sticks forever, we must get down to the completely clean, original porcelain layer.
After that, we repair any deep gouges, rust spots, or cracks using a heavy-duty marine filler that cures in just minutes.
Once the surface is smooth as glass, we spray a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical superglue between the old material and the new coat.
Finally, our technician applies several layers of a high-tech acrylic polymer topcoat using a professional HVLP spray gun.
This precision tool creates an incredibly smooth, mirror-like finish that cures into a rock-hard protective shell.

Because we use top-tier materials, your newly restored fixture will be ready for action in just a day or two.
This speedy turnaround is perfect for busy families who cannot afford to lose their primary bathroom for weeks on end.
Additionally, the non-porous nature of our new high-gloss finish makes scrubbing a thing of the past.
Dirt and grime simply slide off the surface with a gentle wipe of a sponge and some mild dish soap.
This easy maintenance routine saves your back from painful scrubbing sessions while keeping your washroom looking like a luxury hotel suite.
To help you understand the full scope of what we offer, here is a quick list of the various items we can bring back to life:
Living and working in this beautiful mountainous region of Gilmer County, West Virginia, means we treat every customer like our next-door neighbor.
We know the local water quality can be tough on plumbing fixtures, which is why we use coatings designed to resist tough mineral buildup.
Whether you reside in a cozy historic home near the local university or a quiet cabin tucked away in the hills, we bring our expertise right to your doorstep.
Our crew respects your time, always showing up when promised and leaving your home cleaner than we found it.
We do not believe in pushy sales tactics or hidden fees, which is why our onsite evaluations are always completely transparent.
This honest approach has made us a favorite among local homeowners who value hard work and straightforward pricing.
To keep your updated surface looking spectacular, you simply need to avoid harsh abrasive cleaners like bleach or gritty powders.
These rough chemicals act like sandpaper and will slowly dull the gorgeous shine over time.
Instead, opt for gentle liquid soaps and microfiber cloths to wipe down the basin after use.
This simple habit prevents soap scum from building up and keeps the surface looking brand new.
On top of that, we highly recommend removing any wet bath mats or bottles of shampoo from the ledge of the basin.
Allowing standing water to sit under plastic mats can trap moisture and eventually weaken the bond of the coating.
By following these easy guidelines, you ensure your beautiful investment remains pristine for many years to come.
If you are ready to stop feeling embarrassed by your outdated bathroom, it is time to take action.
Our friendly local team is ready to visit your home and evaluate your fixture's condition.
We will walk you through the entire process, answer all your questions, and provide a detailed, written quote completely free of charge.
This pressure-free consultation lets you make the best decision for your home and your budget.
Do not spend another day showering in a dingy, stained space when a beautiful, shiny upgrade is just a quick phone call away.
Reach out to us today to schedule your free home visit and take the first step toward the clean, modern bathroom you deserve.
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, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
