All over Henderson 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 can actually save thousands of dollars on your next home remodel. We restore your worn out bathroom fixtures to a gorgeous brand new state in just one afternoon. Reach out today for your free estimate and see how cheap a beautiful home upgrade can be!
Maybe you looked at your stained tub this morning and felt a bit of despair. Buying a whole new setup sounds like a massive headache. Which means you are probably dreading the noisy demolition and the high plumbing bills that come with it.
Thankfully, our specialized process offers a brilliant alternative to throwing away your perfectly solid cast iron or steel basin. We come directly to your home to deep clean, repair, and apply a high tech liquid acrylic coating. This fresh layer bonds at a molecular level to create a glossy, durable shield that looks just like pristine porcelain.
On top of that, you avoid the mess of tearing out drywall and tile. Most folks do not realize that replacing a tub often forces you to destroy the surrounding walls. Our system keeps your existing bathroom completely intact while giving you that clean, fresh feeling you deserve.
Since we finish the entire process in just a few hours, you can actually use your shower again the very next day. This rapid turnaround time is perfect for busy households with only one bathroom. You get to skip the weeks of construction dust and the endless parade of strangers walking through your home.
| Project Phase | Traditional Replacement | Our Specialized Coating Service |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very high (often thousands) | Extremely budget friendly |
| Time to Complete | Up to a week or more | Finished in a single afternoon |
| Mess and Dust | Major demolition required | Virtually zero construction mess |
First, we strip away all the old caulking and scrub the surface with industrial strength cleaners. This crucial step removes years of built up soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. After we get it completely clean, we apply a special etching agent to create tiny microscopic pores in the original enamel.
Next, we carefully repair any deep chips, rust spots, or scratches using a waterproof polyester filler. We sand these areas down until they are completely flush with the surrounding material. This detailed prep work ensures that the final protective layer sits on a perfectly flat and stable foundation.
Consequently, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to prevent any overspray. We also set up a powerful exhaust fan to vent any fumes safely out of your nearest window. Once the room is secure, we spray multiple layers of a high performance primer and topcoat using specialized spray equipment.
This advanced material cures into a hard, non porous surface that resists scratches and staining. You will love how easy it is to wipe down after we finish. Which means you can finally say goodbye to harsh abrasive cleaners and endless scrubbing on your hands and knees.
We are proud to serve the wonderful communities throughout Henderson County, Texas, where hard working families appreciate smart, cost effective home improvement solutions. Whether you live in a cozy lakeside cottage or a spacious ranch house, we bring our mobile restoration setup right to your doorstep.
Actually, many of our local neighborhoods feature older homes built during times when manufacturing quality was incredibly high. These classic heavy tubs are far superior to the cheap plastic units sold in big box stores today. By restoring the surface instead of replacing it, you get to keep that heavy duty quality while enjoying a modern, bright white appearance.
Moreover, saving money on your bathroom remodel lets you spend your hard earned cash on other fun local activities. Perhaps you would rather spend your weekend fishing on the lake or shopping in downtown Athens instead of managing a messy construction zone. Our affordable service helps you keep your budget on track while still achieving your dream home look.
Obviously, the most exciting benefit is the incredible amount of money you keep in your wallet. Our process generally costs a mere fraction of what a full bathroom remodel would run. This lets you stretch your home improvement budget much further so you can upgrade other areas of your house too.
Another major plus is how customization becomes so simple. While most people prefer a classic, bright white finish, we can also offer various modern colors to match your unique style. This flexibility allows you to update an outdated pink or green avocado fixture from the seventies without any major demolition.
However, you must remember that this process is not a permanent, lifetime fix. While our high quality coatings can easily last for ten to fifteen years with proper care, they will eventually wear down over time. You must avoid using bleach, steel wool, or abrasive scouring pads to keep the shine looking new.
Additionally, this service cannot save a tub that is completely rusted through or physically cracked in half. If your fixture has major structural damage, a full replacement might be your only safe option. But for ninety percent of homes with cosmetic wear, dull finishes, or minor rust, our restoration method works like absolute magic.
To protect your investment, we recommend using only mild, non abrasive liquid soaps for your weekly cleaning. A simple mixture of dish soap and warm water is usually all it takes to keep the surface gleaming. This gentle approach prevents microscopic scratches that can dull the gloss over time.
Similarly, you should make sure to repair any leaky faucets as soon as possible. Constant water dripping in the exact same spot can eventually erode the new coating and cause premature wear. A little bit of simple preventative maintenance goes a long way in preserving that gorgeous, glassy look.
Finally, we suggest avoiding the use of bath mats with suction cups on the bottom. These cups can pull on the newly bonded surface and weaken the adhesion over time. Instead, we can apply a built in slip resistant texture directly to the bottom of your tub during our application process for extra safety.
Now is the perfect time to stop putting up with an ugly, hard to clean bathroom. Our friendly local team is ready to answer all your questions and help you plan your budget. We believe in honest pricing, so we never surprise you with hidden fees or unexpected costs.
This is why we offer completely free, no obligation quotes to all of our neighbors in the local area. We will take a look at your current fixture, explain your options, and give you a clear price right on the spot. You have absolutely nothing to lose by giving us a call and seeing how affordable a beautiful bathroom can be.
Simply call us to set up your free consultation. We love helping homeowners fall in love with their bathrooms all over again. Let us do the hard work so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a sparkling clean home!
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.
