A dull or chipped tub in Hilton Head Island 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.
Your old cast iron tub probably looks like a horror movie prop right now with those ugly stains and worn-out patches.
Fortunately, you do not have to spend a fortune on a massive demolition project to make it look brand new again.
We can help you transform that eyesore into a shiny masterpiece in just a few hours without tearing up your walls.
Actually, many homeowners do not realize that the original heavy fixtures are way better quality than the cheap plastic replicas you buy at big box stores today.
By choosing to restore the surface instead of ripping it out, you save thousands of dollars and bypass weeks of messy construction dust.
This smart decision keeps your daily routine running smoothly while instantly elevating your home value.
Getting a fresh start is incredibly easy because our friendly local crew is ready to visit your home and evaluate the situation.
When you request a free quote from us, we will walk you through the entire process and show you exactly how we restore that original luster.
You get a beautiful, clean finish without the headache of hiring plumbers and tile setters.
Most folks think that when a basin gets dull and stained, it is game over.
The truth is that the underlying structure is usually perfectly fine, but the protective glass-like layer has simply succumbed to years of harsh scrubbing and hard water.
Our specialized process involves chemically bonding a new, high-gloss coating directly onto your existing fixture.
First, we meticulously clean the area using industrial-strength agents to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits.
After that, we repair any deep chips or rust spots with a waterproof filler so the foundation is completely smooth.
Then, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical superglue for the final topcoat.
Once the prep work is complete, we spray multiple layers of an advanced acrylic polymer coating using specialized high-volume, low-pressure equipment.
This technique ensures a factory-smooth finish that looks identical to brand new porcelain.
As a result, your wash space gains a bright, non-porous shield that resists dirt and looks incredibly clean for years to come.
Choosing to update your existing bathroom setup offers several massive advantages that go way beyond just saving a few bucks.
To help you compare your options, we put together a handy breakdown of how this smart process stacks up against a full remodel.
| Feature Comparison | Our Restoration Service | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Total Project Cost | Very affordable, usually a fraction of replacement | Extremely expensive due to plumbing and tile work |
| Time to Complete | Finished in just a single day | Can drag on for weeks or even months |
| Mess and Disruption | Minimal dust, confined to the work area | Massive construction debris throughout the house |
| Durability | Lasts 10 to 15 years with proper care | Depends entirely on the quality of the new fixture |
Looking at the numbers, it becomes pretty obvious why smart homeowners prefer to coat rather than replace.
Indeed, saving money on the fixture itself means you can splurge on fancy new towels or a high-end showerhead instead.
You get the gorgeous look you want while keeping your hard-earned savings in your pocket.

You get personalized, neighborly service combined with the highest level of professional craftsmanship.
Once our team finishes spraying your gorgeous new finish, you will want to keep it looking pristine for as long as possible.
Fortunately, maintaining the new surface is actually much easier than dealing with old, porous porcelain.
Because the new layer is completely smooth, dirt and soap residue have a really hard time sticking to it.
You should absolutely avoid abrasive cleaners like comet or scratchy green scrub sponges because they will dull the shiny finish over time.
Instead, simply wipe down the surface with a mild dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth.
This simple routine keeps the gloss looking brand new without requiring any back-breaking scrubbing.
Additionally, try to avoid leaving wet bottles or damp washcloths sitting on the ledge for long periods.
Allowing the surface to dry completely between uses prevents any moisture buildup and extends the life of the coating.
By following these basic steps, your upgraded washroom will stay incredibly bright and welcoming for over a decade...

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 Hilton Head Island, 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.

The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
