A dull or chipped tub in Goose Creek 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.

Many folks confuse this process with simple painting but it is actually a highly technical bonding procedure. First we strip away the old worn-out layers of glaze and soap scum. Then we apply a specialized chemical agent that fuses the new coating to the original porcelain or fiberglass. This advanced technique ensures the fresh finish sticks tight for years to come.
You might wonder if your chipped or cracked basin is too far gone for this treatment. Fortunately our skilled technicians can repair deep scratches and structural dings before we apply the topcoat. We use polyester resins to fill in those annoying imperfections so the final result looks completely seamless. This means you do not have to worry about water leaking through those old damaged spots anymore.
When we finish the job you will notice a deep glossy luster that rivals a factory-fresh unit. This ultra-smooth surface actually repels dirt and grime much better than worn porous porcelain. Consequently you will spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemicals. You get to enjoy a sparkling clean space with just a simple wipe down.
Homeowners in Berkeley County are realizing that throwing away a perfectly solid fixture is a huge waste of money. Since the local median household income sits around $65,884 finding smart ways to stretch your home improvement budget makes total sense. Spending a fraction of the cost of replacement lets you allocate funds to other important family needs.
If you live in ZIP code 29445 you know how fast our local humidity can make bathroom surfaces look dingy. Mold and mildew love to cling to old worn acrylic and cracked grout lines. Our specialized protective coating seals up those microscopic pores where nasty spores love to hide. This creates a much healthier environment for your kids and guests to bathe in.
Let us look at a quick comparison of your options to help you make the best decision for your home:
| Project Factors | Full Replacement | Professional Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High (includes plumbing) | Extremely Budget-Friendly |
| Time to Complete | Typically 3 to 5 Days | Usually 4 to 6 Hours | Mess and Dust | Major demolition dust | Minimal and contained |
| Life Expectancy | Decades | 10 to 15 Years with care |
This table shows how much time and hassle you actually save by choosing the smarter path. You do not have to hire expensive plumbers or drywall contractors to patch up the aftermath of a demolition. We handle the entire process from start to finish in a single afternoon.
Before we even touch your fixture we carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheeting. This step keeps your walls, vanity, and floors completely safe from any overspray or dust. We also install a powerful exhaust fan in the window to pull any fumes out of your house while we work. You can relax in the next room knowing your home is fully protected.
Next we apply a heavy-duty cleaner to dissolve decades of body oils, hard water deposits, and old soap scum. After that we etching the surface which creates microscopic grooves for the new coating to grip onto. Without this crucial step the new finish would simply peel off like sunburned skin after a few months. We take our time on this prep work because it determines the longevity of the project.
Finally we spray multiple coats of our high-tech acrylic urethane topcoat using precision spray equipment. This material cures into an incredibly hard durable shell that looks exactly like real fired porcelain. Once we remove the masking tape and clean up our workspace you are left with a breathtakingly beautiful bathroom.
Maintaining your restored basin is incredibly easy but you do have to throw away those abrasive scrubbing powders. Harsh bleach and scratchy sponges will eventually dull the beautiful glossy finish over time. Instead you should use mild liquid dish soaps or non-abrasive aerosol cleaners to keep things shiny. This simple change in your cleaning routine keeps the surface looking brand new for over a decade.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet washcloths or dripping bottles of shampoo sitting on the ledge. Standing water can eventually weaken the chemical bond if left unchecked for weeks on end. Taking care of these tiny details ensures you get the absolute maximum value out of your investment. It is all about protecting that gorgeous new luster we create for you.

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 Goose Creek, 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.
