Maybe you look at your worn out tub every morning and sigh at the sight of those ugly stains. Getting a full replacement sounds like a total nightmare because of the crazy high costs and endless dust. Fortunately, a smart alternative exists that breathes fresh life into your old fixture in just a few hours. This budget friendly process coats your existing tub with a high tech protective layer that looks incredibly shiny and new.
Actually, you can save thousands of dollars by opting for this specialized surface renewal instead of ripping out your plumbing. Our dedicated local team travels right to your home to deliver stunning results with zero stress. If you want to transform your bathroom today, you should grab a free estimate from us right now.
Naturally, we understand how frustrating it is to scrub a surface that simply refuses to get clean anymore. Over the years, harsh chemical cleaners strip away the original factory glaze, which leaves the material porous and prone to deep stains. This handy restoration service seals up those microscopic pores so dirt slides right off. You will finally get to enjoy a sparkling clean basin without breaking your back or your bank account.
First, let us talk about how this magic actually happens in your home. This highly effective method involves applying a specialized liquid acrylic coating directly over your old porcelain or fiberglass. Which means you do not have to worry about breaking tiles or tearing down drywall to get a fresh look. Our skilled technicians meticulously prep the area so the new material bonds perfectly to the old structure.
To start the process, we use a strong acid paste to etch the old surface and create tiny grip points. After that, we repair any deep chips or rust spots with a heavy duty waterproof filler. This lets you achieve a perfectly smooth foundation before we even touch a spray gun. Once the prep work wraps up, we apply a sophisticated bonding agent that acts like superglue for the final topcoat.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of a premium high gloss resin that cures into a rock hard shell. This beautiful finish mimics the original factory look so closely that your guests will think you bought a brand new fixture. On top of that, the entire process takes less than a single day to complete. You can actually use your upgraded shower again in about twenty four hours.

Because you deserve a home that feels fresh, investing in this simple upgrade makes total sense. Many folks living in this beautiful region of the Tar Heel State love preserving their historic homes without losing original character. By restoring your classic cast iron basin, you keep a piece of history while enjoying modern cleanliness. This service offers the ultimate blend of cozy charm and sparkling newness.
Besides saving money, you also protect the environment by keeping heavy cast iron and fiberglass out of our local landfills. Which means you make an eco friendly choice that benefits the community while upgrading your personal space. Our customers love how easy the new surface is to maintain after we finish the job. You only need a mild dish soap and a soft sponge to keep it looking brilliant.
Moreover, our team takes great pride in serving the wonderful communities nestled within Hertford County, North Carolina. This lovely area, home to about fifteen thousand friendly residents, features a median household income of around forty thousand dollars. We frequently visit neighborhoods across ZIP codes like 27910, 27955, and 27986 to help homeowners get the beautiful bathrooms they deserve. Our local presence ensures we arrive on time and treat your home with the utmost respect.
To ensure your new gloss coating lasts for many years, proper care is absolutely essential. Although the cured resin is incredibly tough, using abrasive powders or steel wool will dull the shine over time. This means you should stick to gentle, non abrasive liquid cleansers to preserve that brilliant luster. Taking this simple precaution keeps your washroom looking like a luxury hotel suite indefinitely.
Additionally, we highly recommend fixing any leaky faucets immediately after we finish our work. Constant dripping can eventually wear down even the strongest professional coatings over a long period. By keeping your plumbing in good shape, you secure your investment and enjoy a flawless tub for up to a decade. We always share these handy maintenance tips with you before we pack up our tools.
Perhaps you have seen cheap DIY paint kits at the local hardware store and felt tempted to try them. However, those retail products usually consist of cheap epoxy paint that easily peels off within a few months. This happens because store bought kits lack the professional grade bonding agents that only certified contractors can buy. You will likely end up spending more money fixing a failed DIY attempt than hiring us first.
Furthermore, spraying these advanced coatings requires heavy duty ventilation equipment to keep your indoor air safe and clean. Our crew brings industrial exhaust fans and protective respirators to safely channel all fumes out of your house. This lets you relax in another room while we handle the chemical application safely and professionally. We take care of all the safety details so you do not have to worry.
When you contact us for your complimentary estimate, we start by listening closely to your specific remodeling goals. This lets us tailor our approach to your unique budget and styling preferences. We examine the current condition of your wash area to identify any hidden structural issues before starting. Our honest assessment ensures you never face unexpected fees or surprise charges down the road.
After we agree on a plan, we schedule a convenient time to perform the transformation. Our friendly technicians show up on time, lay down protective drop cloths, and mask off your entire bathroom. This level of care guarantees that your walls, floors, and vanity remain completely untouched by our equipment. We treat your property as if it were our own mother's house.
Once the work wraps up, we conduct a thorough inspection with you to ensure you are totally in love with the result. We clean up our workspace completely, leaving nothing behind but a dazzling, glossy bathroom fixture. This final walk through ensures your complete satisfaction before we consider the job done. You will be amazed at how a single day of work can completely change your morning routine.
Now is the perfect time to stop staring at that dingy, stained wash basin and finally take action. You do not have to live with an embarrassing bathroom that makes you feel uncomfortable when guests visit. Our affordable restoration service provides the perfect shortcut to a clean, bright, and inviting space. Let us handle the hard work while you sit back and enjoy the savings.

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.
