A dull or chipped tub in Granjeno 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.
Maybe your old bathing area looks like a relic from the past with those yellow stains and cracks. You probably feel like tearing it all out is your only option for a better look.
Actually, you can restore that dated surface to look brand new without the massive cost of a full remodel. This process saves you money and keeps your bathroom functional while we work our magic.
First, you might wonder how we make a rough tub smooth again without replacing it. We start by stripping away the old finish and repairing any chips or deep gouges in the material.
Next, we apply a specialized bonding agent that helps the new coating stick tight to the surface. This ensures that your tub stays durable and retains a sense of ease for many years to come.
After that, we spray on a high-grade polymer coating that gives your tub a brilliant shine. You get a fresh look that feels smooth to the touch and stands up to daily scrubbing.
Living in Hidalgo County means you know how quickly things can wear down with the local water conditions. Dealing with a small town of about 387 people means you want service you can trust.
Since you likely value your hard-earned money, keeping your home value up with a median household income of $56,250 is a smart move. A shiny new tub makes a big difference for your property.
When you hire a pro from your neck of the woods, you get personalized attention you just don't see with big chains. We come to your house and provide a free estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
Perhaps the biggest perk is the time you save by not dealing with messy construction crews for weeks. A full demolition creates dust and noise that ruins your quiet time for a long stretch.
Most of the time, we finish the job in just one or two days, letting you get back to your routine. You avoid the stress of picking out new tiles or hiring plumbers to fix your pipes.
Because we work directly on the existing shell, you save thousands compared to the cost of a full renovation. It is a win for your wallet and a win for your schedule.
Does your tub have those stubborn dark rings that never seem to go away no matter how hard you scrub? Maybe you see tiny spiderweb cracks forming near the drain or the edges.
These signs indicate that the protective layer of your tub has worn away completely. Once that top layer disappears, the porous material underneath starts soaking up grime and dirt like a sponge.
Ignoring these issues can lead to bigger problems like leaks behind the walls or mold growth. Fixing it now prevents expensive repairs later on when the damage gets worse.
You might be worried that this new finish will peel off after a few months of heavy use. That is why we use only high-performance materials designed to resist impact and heat.
These coatings are tough enough to handle daily showers while looking great every single day. You gain a level of serenity knowing your bathroom fixture is protected against stains and chips.
We also offer various shades to match your style or brighten up a dark bathroom corner. A simple color change can make your entire room feel bigger and much more open.
Now that you know the options, you should think about your own bathroom needs. First, walk into your space and identify all the spots that bother you when you shower.
Take a look at the surrounding tile work to see if that needs attention as well. We can often help with the surrounding area to ensure everything looks cohesive and tidy.
Finally, gather your questions and think about what you want your bathroom to feel like. We are happy to walk you through the whole process during our visit to your home.
Sometimes people try to fix these things with store-bought kits they find at the hardware store. Unfortunately, these cheap options often result in a finish that peels or bubbles very quickly.
Professional equipment allows for a much smoother and more even application than a brush or roller. You get a factory-like finish that lasts because we use industrial sprayers to bond the coating.
Investing in a pro means you get a warranty and the assurance that it is done right. You don't have to worry about toxic fumes or a messy cleanup after we finish the job.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time Required | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Tear Out | High | Weeks | |
| Surface Restoration | Low | One Day | |
| New Tub Purchase | Medium | Days |
As you can see from this table, the choice to resurface is much easier on your finances. You get the same aesthetic result for a fraction of the investment required for a remodel.
Before we arrive, try to clear out your bathroom items like shampoo bottles and rugs. You might want to pull down any old shower curtains to give us a clear workspace.
If you have a window, opening it to let air circulate is always a great idea. We take care of masking off the walls and floors to keep everything around the tub safe and clean.
You do not need to do anything heavy or complicated before we get there. Just making sure the area is dry and easy to access helps us work quickly and efficiently.
A lot of people ask if the new finish will smell for a long time afterward. While there is a slight scent during the application, it dissipates very quickly with proper ventilation.
You can usually use your shower again after a day or two of curing time. This fast turnaround is one of the reasons many folks in Texas choose this path over a remodel.
If you have pets or small children, we can discuss the best way to keep the area safe. We prioritize your peace of mind throughout the entire duration of our work.
Once we finish, you should use non-abrasive cleaners to keep the surface shining bright. Harsh scrubbing powders can scratch the new finish and dull the nice, smooth look.
Stick to mild soaps and soft sponges for your daily cleaning routine. This simple habit keeps your tub looking great and feeling fresh for many years without any trouble.
If you ever notice a chip from a dropped bottle, give us a call. Small spots are often very easy to touch up without needing a whole new layer of material.
You deserve a bathroom that feels clean and inviting rather than one you want to hide. A small change in your tub can make a massive difference in how you enjoy your mornings.

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 Granjeno, 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.
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.
