All over Greenup 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.
You look at that faded bathroom fixture every morning and sigh.
Maybe the color belongs in a time capsule from the nineteen-seventies.
Actually, replacing it means ripping out walls and spending a fortune.
Fortunately, you can completely renew that worn-out surface for a fraction of the cost.
Our local team specializes in applying a high-performance liquid acrylic coating over your existing basin.
This process brings back that bright, glassy luster in just a single day.
Naturally, you want to save your hard-earned cash while achieving a gorgeous result.
We come right to your home to evaluate the situation and hand you a detailed, free estimate.
Which means you get all the facts before spending a single dime.
First of all, let us talk about what actually happens during this specialized transformation.
Many people think we just slap a fresh coat of cheap paint over the old porcelain.
In reality, we use advanced chemical bonding agents to fuse a new defensive layer to the substrate.
To start, we meticulously clean the area using industrial-strength acid cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum.
After that, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks with a heavy-duty polyester filler.
This preparation ensures the new topcoat sticks like superglue and never peels off.
Next, we spray a premium aliphatic acrylic polyurethane finish using professional high-volume low-pressure equipment.
This advanced technique creates a smooth, factory-like sheen that looks identical to brand-new porcelain.
You get a beautiful, durable finish that resists impact and staining for many years to come.
Let us look at a quick comparison to see how much money stays in your pocket.
The table below breaks down the typical headaches and costs of both options.
| Factor to Consider | Full Tear-Out Replacement | Our Professional Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Average Total Cost | Very high due to plumbing and tile work | Extremely budget-friendly |
| Time to Complete | One to two weeks of messy construction | Finished in just four to eight hours |
| Mess and Dust | Plaster dust everywhere in your house | Virtually none with our local containment setup |
| Lifespan of Surface | Varies depending on product quality | Ten to fifteen years with proper care |
As you can see, the choice becomes pretty obvious when you look at the stress involved.
Why pay a contractor to break your beautiful bathroom tiles when the existing foundation is perfectly solid?
Our smart refinishing service keeps your original structure intact while upgrading the look completely.
Perhaps you are wondering if your specific setup can actually be saved.
We work on all kinds of materials including cast iron, pressed steel, fiberglass, and acrylic.
Even if your surface feels rough like sandpaper, our system can smooth it right out.
On top of that, we can change the color of your fixture to match any modern style.
If you hate that outdated avocado green or dusty pink, we can turn it into a brilliant white.
This simple change instantly brightens up the entire room and makes it feel twice as large.
However, we always keep things honest and down to earth with our customers.
If your steel basin has rusted completely through with giant gaping holes, restoration might not be your best bet.
That is why we offer a complimentary on-site assessment to check the structural integrity first.
Living here in Greenup County, Kentucky means you appreciate good old-fashioned hard work and honest prices.
We serve our local neighbors across ZIP codes like 41144, 41139, and 41129 with pride and dedication.
With a local population of around thirty-five thousand people, we treat every single customer like family.
Since the median household income here sits around fifty thousand dollars, we know you want real value for your money.
We do not believe in pushy sales tactics or hidden fees that pop up at the end of the job.
Our written quotes are completely transparent and guaranteed to cover all labor and materials.
Specifically, our technicians understand the unique challenges of local hard water on bathroom fixtures.
We use specialized primers designed to resist the mineral buildup common in our regional water supply.
This extra step ensures your newly coated surface remains shiny and incredibly easy to clean.
Before we turn on a single machine, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheets. We set up a powerful exhaust fan system to pull all paint fumes directly out of the nearest window. This keeps your household air clean and prevents any overspray from landing on your vanity or toilet.
Once everything is covered, we apply a specialized etching compound to create microscopic pores in the old glaze. This chemical process is absolutely vital because it allows our proprietary molecular bonding agent to lock on tight. Without this step, any new coating would simply bubble up and slide off the next time you take a hot shower.
Finally, we apply multiple coats of our premium resin finish to build a thick, resilient barrier. We use specialized lighting to ensure every square inch is perfectly even and free of any dust specks. After a brief curing period, your fixture is ready to use and boasts incredible luxury shine.
Now that your fixture looks gorgeous, you want to keep it that way for the next decade.
The secret lies in avoiding abrasive cleaners like bleach or gritty scrubbing powders.
These harsh chemicals act like sandpaper and will eventually wear down the beautiful glossy topcoat.
Instead, you should use mild dish soap or non-abrasive liquid cleaners with a soft sponge.
This gentle routine easily wipes away soap scum without scratching the delicate protective layer.
By spending just a minute wiping it down after use, you preserve that fresh finish forever.
Additionally, you must avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting on the rim.
Standing water under these items can sometimes weaken the bond over a long period of time.
Using a simple hanging shower organizer is an easy way to protect your investment.

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.
