A dull or chipped tub in Hillje 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.
Do you look at your scarred bath fixture and sigh with pure despair every morning? Fortunately, fixing that peeling porcelain doesn't require a massive remodeling loan. This process lets you save thousands while updating your bathroom completely.
Most homeowners in Wharton County face this exact ugly tub dilemma at some point. However, replacing that heavy cast iron unit is a total nightmare. Which means you need a smarter local solution for your worn bathroom centerpieces.
Technicians spray specialized bonding agents directly onto your existing basin. This chemical bonding step ensures top-notch adherence for the fresh topcoat. Consequently, your old tub gets a brand-new lease on life without any demolition mess.
Workers use hydrofluoric acid etching to open up microscopic pores in the porcelain. Afterward, they apply an aliphatic polyurethane coating that hardens into a gorgeous shield. This lets you enjoy a shiny finish that resists everyday soap scum.
Dealing with chipped enamel ruins the overall look of your washing room. Luckily, our local crew handles these repairs right on site in the 77437 area. This saves you from weeks of dusty contractor chaos.
Traditional replacements often cost upward of five thousand dollars when you include plumbing fees. Conversely, our surface restoration service runs a fraction of that exact price. Therefore, your wallet stays happy while your home value rises.
Imagine stepping into a gleaming white basin that feels completely brand-new. Such an upgrade brings ultimate coziness to your daily bathing routine. Besides, cleaning becomes an absolute breeze when the surface is smooth again.
Old tubs harbor mold and mildew inside deep scratches that scrubbing cannot touch. On top of that, fresh topcoats seal those microscopic breeding grounds permanently. This keeps your family safe from hidden bacteria buildup.
Pulling out an old clawfoot or built-in tub destroys surrounding tile and drywall. Meanwhile, spraying a fresh coat leaves your existing bathroom layout completely untouched. This spares you from unexpected structural repairs.
Look at this quick comparison table to understand the financial differences clearly.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Four to Eight Thousand Dollars | One to Two Weeks |
| Surface Renewal | Four to Eight Hundred Dollars | One Single Day |
Naturally, saving that much money makes the choice pretty obvious. Moreover, you avoid hauling heavy debris to the local landfill.
First, our specialists mask off your surrounding walls and floors with heavy plastic sheeting. Then, they run heavy-duty exhaust fans to pull out fumes during the spraying. This keeps your indoor air relatively safe while the crew works.
Next comes the meticulous sanding phase to smooth out rough patches and rust spots. Afterwards, a primer layer goes on to lock out future moisture damage. Finally, multiple topcoat layers create that mirror-like shine you desire.
Once the curing process finishes, your tub is ready for daily use again. Just remember to avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that dull the glossy finish. Instead, use mild dish soap and a soft sponge for weekly maintenance.
Proper care lets your newly coated basin last for well over a decade. Meanwhile, you can spend your hard-earned cash on other home improvement projects. Which means your entire property value gets a nice little boost.
Many folks worry that the new coating will peel off after a few months. However, modern bonding agents create a molecular grip that stands up to heavy daily soaking. Therefore, you do not need to stress about premature bubbling.
Another myth suggests that the chemical smell lingers in your house forever. Actually, our professional ventilation systems clear out those odors before we ever pack up our gear. This lets you sleep peacefully in your home right away.

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 Hillje, 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.
