All over Harrison 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.
Are you tired of staring at that stained, chipped porcelain basin every single morning? Well, local pros can spray a fresh, shiny coating right over your old unit so you get a brand new look without the demolition mess.
Now, tearing out a heavy cast iron tub usually destroys your bathroom tile and costs a fortune. But our local team comes right out to your home to spray a brand new finish in just one day. This lets you save thousands of dollars while avoiding weeks of dusty contractor chaos.
On top of that, modern acrylic polymers bond tightly to your existing surface to create a glossy shield. Which means you can easily scrub away soap scum without breaking a sweat. Plus, this smart upgrade gives you total peace of mind regarding leaks or structural damage.
Meanwhile, traditional replacement projects often uncover hidden mold or rotting subfloors behind the walls. However, surface restoration skips all that risky demo work completely. Therefore, your bathroom stays functional while getting a massive visual boost.
First off, technicians arrive at your property with specialized ventilation fans to clear out any fumes. This keeps your household safe and odor-free during the entire procedure. Then, they meticulously clean the basin to strip away decades of body oils and hard water buildup.
Next, workers acid-etch the surface to open up microscopic pores in the old enamel. That ensures the liquid primer sticks permanently instead of peeling off later. Afterward, they apply multiple layers of high-grade polyurethane topcoat using an HVLP spray gun.
Eventually, the coating cures into a hard, non-porous barrier that mimics brand-new factory porcelain. This gives you a gorgeous, easy-to-clean wash area that shines brightly. Yet, you never have to deal with heavy hauling or dumpster rentals in your driveway.
| Feature | Full Replacement | Surface Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Time required | 1 to 3 weeks | Just one day |
| Average cost | Thousands of dollars | A fraction of replacement |
| Mess level | Extreme debris and dust | Zero structural mess |
Looking at the table above, spraying your fixture clearly wins on convenience and affordability. Yet, some homeowners still worry about durability over the long haul. Rest assured, proper care keeps these sprayed surfaces looking fantastic for well over a decade.
Are you noticing rough patches that snag your washcloths during every bath? That textural change means the protective glaze has worn down completely. Consequently, the exposed porous material underneath now absorbs dirt and stains like a sponge.
Furthermore, ugly rust stains around the drain usually signal deeper metal corrosion. If left untreated, those weak spots can eventually turn into actual leaks through the floorboards. Fortunately, professional technicians neutralize the rust before applying any fresh bonding agents.
Besides that, fading colors can make your entire bathroom feel dingy and outdated. But a bright white or custom-tinted topcoat instantly modernizes the whole room. This lets you match your vintage fixtures to newer tile designs without buying anything new.
Operating right here in the local community means our crews know the regional housing styles well. Whether you live in an older farmhouse or a newer suburban build, we bring the right tools. Plus, scheduling a visit takes mere seconds when you reach out to our friendly office staff.
Because we value your time, our technicians always arrive right when promised with fully stocked vans. They protect your floors with drop cloths before mixing any specialized bonding chemicals. That attention to detail ensures your bathroom remains as clean as we found it.
Beyond that, local homeowners frequently praise our transparent pricing and honest communication. We never tack on hidden fees after the work starts. Instead, you get a straightforward assessment and a fair price right from the start.
Now that your basin looks stunning, you need to use gentle cleaning products to protect the gloss. Specifically, avoid abrasive scouring powders that can scratch the fresh polymer finish. This lets you maintain that mirror-like shine for many years without extra effort.
Similarly, fix any dripping faucets promptly to prevent mineral rings from forming on the new surface. A soft microfiber cloth paired with mild dish soap works wonders for daily wipe-downs. Thus, your upgraded washing station stays pristine with minimal scrubbing.
On top of that, refrain from using heavy rubber bath mats with suction cups for the first few weeks. Those mats can trap moisture and damage the curing polyurethane if applied too early. Instead, let the coating fully harden before adding any accessories.

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.
