All over Hillsborough 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.
Maybe you look at your bathroom and feel a little bit sad. That old tub has seen better days since the glossy finish wore off years ago. You do not have to rip out the whole thing and spend thousands of dollars on plumbing. Our specialized local crew can roll up to your home and make that worn surface shine like new again. We do this by applying a fresh, durable synthetic coating right over your existing fixture.
Think about how nice it will be to finally take a relaxing soak without staring at ugly stains. This fast process saves you from the giant mess of a noisy demolition. Best of all, we offer a free estimate so you can see exactly how affordable this smart upgrade is before committing to anything. You get to keep your heavy cast iron or steel tub while totally upgrading its look.
Actually, many homeowners do not realize that their old fixtures have way better bones than the cheap plastic replacements sold today. Our team loves preserving these classic pieces while giving them a modern face-lift. We bring all the professional gear directly to your doorstep to handle the job safely and quickly. It is all about giving you that clean, fresh feeling without the massive headache of a full remodel.
Choosing to restore your surface is a total game-changer for your wallet and your sanity. If you choose to tear out the old tub, you often end up breaking tiles and messing up the surrounding walls. That simple swap quickly turns into a massive construction project that leaves you without a bathroom for weeks. Our process keeps everything right where it is while completely transforming the outer layer.
This means you get to enjoy a gorgeous, sparkling bathroom in just a matter of hours. We carefully prep the area, repair any deep chips, and spray on a high-performance topcoat that bonds at a molecular level. This creates a hard, glossy shield that resists water and everyday wear. You get to skip the dust, the loud banging, and the army of contractors walking through your house.
On top of that, this method is highly eco-friendly because it keeps heavy materials out of our local landfills. We take great pride in helping our neighbors keep their homes beautiful while being mindful of the environment. Here is a quick look at how the two options stack up against each other so you can make the best choice for your home.
| Factor | Our Surface Restoration | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very budget-friendly | Extremely expensive |
| Time to Complete | Usually under one day | Several days or weeks |
| Mess & Dust | Very minimal and contained | Heavy construction dust |
| Durability | Excellent with basic care | Depends on replacement quality |
Naturally, you might wonder how we get these surfaces to look so incredibly smooth and shiny. It all starts with a very deep cleaning to remove decades of soap scum, body oils, and old mineral deposits. We use specialized cleaners that prep the porcelain or fiberglass so the new layers can stick perfectly. If there are rust spots or deep scratches, we patch them up first so the final result is completely level.
After the prep work is complete, we set up a strong ventilation system to keep your indoor air clean and safe. Then we spray multiple coats of a premium bonding agent followed by the beautiful acrylic topcoat. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that your new finish will not peel or bubble up after a few months. We do not cut corners because we want you to love your bathroom for a really long time.
Which means you can finally stop hiding your bathroom behind a thick shower curtain when guests come over. You will feel proud to show off a bright, clean space that looks like it belongs in a fancy home magazine. Plus, our friendly team is always happy to answer your questions and share tips on how to keep that shine alive. We treat your home with the exact same respect we show our own spaces.

Once we pack up our gear and leave your bathroom looking pristine, you will want to keep it that way. Fortunately, maintaining this new protective layer is incredibly easy compared to scrubbing old, porous porcelain.

A simple wipe down with a mild liquid soap and a soft sponge is all it takes to keep it sparkling.
This simple habit saves you tons of physical effort and keeps your bathroom looking fresh with minimal daily maintenance.

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.
