A dull or chipped tub in Hewitt 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 you look at your bathroom every single morning and feel a bit disappointed by that worn out tub.

We bring the heavy duty tools directly to your home to restore that bright finish right where it sits. This means you can save your hard earned cash for other fun things while still getting a bathroom that looks brand new.

By choosing our specialized on site surface restoration service, you skip all that unnecessary stress entirely. Plus, you will be amazed at how quickly the transformation happens when our team gets to work. You deserve a beautiful space to wash away the day without breaking the bank.

Think about how much a full replacement actually costs these days. First, you have to pay a plumber to disconnect the old drains. After that, you must pay someone to haul away a heavy cast iron or steel fixture. On top of that, you usually end up destroying surrounding wall tiles that are impossible to match perfectly. Our professional bonding process bypasses all of those expensive steps by treating your existing fixture right in its place.
Which means you get to keep your quality vintage tub while upgrading its outer shell. This is especially great if you live in an older home where the original fixtures are actually made of much sturdier materials than the cheap plastic ones sold in stores today. We carefully prep the old porcelain or fiberglass to ensure the new coating sticks for years to come. Consequently, you get a durable, glossy surface that resists future stains and scratches.
To help you compare your options, we created a handy table showing the differences between a full replacement and our specialized coating system:
| Factor | Full Replacement Project | Our Custom Coating Service |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very high, often thousands of dollars | Extremely affordable and budget friendly |
| Time Required | Several days or even weeks of mess | Usually completed in just one day |
| Plumbing Changes | Required, which adds extra fees | None needed at all |
| Durability | Depends on the new cheap tub quality | Excellent, long lasting glossy finish |
Clearly, our process offers a massive advantage for smart homeowners who want to save time and money. We take pride in delivering a smooth finish that looks identical to a brand new factory glaze. If you want to see how we can transform your bathroom, reach out to us right now for a free estimate.
Before we even think about applying our high tech coatings, we must prepare the old surface properly. This means we scrub away all the old soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits that have built up over the decades. Next, we apply a special acid paste that creates microscopic pores in the old porcelain or fiberglass. Thanks to this step, our new materials can grip onto the original structure with incredible strength.
As you can imagine, skipping this preparation work would cause the new finish to peel off very quickly. That is why we never cut corners when it comes to cleaning. We treat every single home with the utmost respect and care. This attention to detail ensures that your investment will stand the test of time.
Naturally, many old tubs have some deep scratches, chips, or rust spots around the drain. We do not just paint over these ugly blemishes. Instead, we fill them in with a waterproof polyester putty and sand them down until they are completely flush with the rest of the surface. This creates a uniform base that looks flawless once the final coat is sprayed on.
This lets you say goodbye to those annoying rusty spots that make your bathroom look dirty even after you just cleaned it. Your tub will feel smooth to the touch once again. It is a simple fix that makes a massive difference in your daily routine.
Once everything is clean and smooth, we spray on a proprietary molecular bonding agent. This chemical acts like a super strong glue between the old tub and the new acrylic polyurethane finish. After that, we use a professional spray gun to apply several thin, even layers of our high gloss topcoat. This technique prevents runs and drips, leaving you with a sleek, factory like appearance.
This process requires a steady hand and proper ventilation equipment to keep your home safe and clean. We use specialized exhaust fans to pull any odors out of your house while we work. As a result, you can use your bathroom again in just a couple of days once the material cures completely.

Once our job is done, you will want to keep that beautiful shine looking fresh for as long as possible. Fortunately, caring for your new finish is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, porous tub. You just need to use mild, non abrasive cleaners like dish soap or warm water mixed with vinegar. This gentle approach protects the protective outer layer from getting scratched or dulled over time.
On the other hand, you must avoid using steel wool, harsh scouring powders, or heavy duty bleach sprays. These abrasive products will slowly wear down the gloss and ruin the finish. Which means you can actually spend less time cleaning your bathroom than you did before. It is a win win situation for your schedule and your wallet.
We also recommend keeping your dripping faucets fixed to prevent water from pooling constantly in one spot. While our coatings are highly water resistant, standing water over many months can eventually cause wear. Taking care of these small plumbing issues will extend the life of your gorgeous new finish for many years. If you have any questions about care, we are always here to help you out.
Now is the perfect time to stop ignoring that ugly, stained tub and finally do something about it. Our friendly team is ready to answer all your questions and show you how easy this home improvement project can be. Remember, we provide completely free, no obligation estimates right at your doorstep. This lets you see the exact cost before you commit to anything at all.

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 Hewitt, 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
