A dull or chipped tub in Holley 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 your old tub looks totally thrashed and has some weird yellow stains from the seventies. Right now you probably think about ripping the whole thing out but that actually costs a mountain of cash. Fortunately our local crew in Santa Rosa County can refresh that worn-out surface for a fraction of the price.
Since you want to save money we bring the ultimate fix right to your doorstep. This budget-friendly process breathes brand new life into your stained fiberglass or cast iron basins. By choosing this smart path you skip the messy demolition work entirely.
To make things even better we offer a totally free estimate so you know the exact cost beforehand. Our team loves helping homeowners get that clean feeling back without emptying their bank accounts. It is time to wave goodbye to that ugly grime forever!
Instead of throwing away a perfectly solid piece of history we spray a high-tech coating that bonds on a molecular level. This special liquid acrylic cures into a rock-hard shield that looks just like shiny new porcelain. Actually the whole process takes only a single afternoon which is insanely fast compared to a week of dusty construction.
While some folks try those cheap DIY kits from the big box stores they usually peel off within a month. Because we use professional-grade acid etchers and industrial spray guns our finishes actually stick for years and years. You get a gorgeous glossy finish that feels incredibly smooth to the touch.
On top of that this clever method seals up dangerous porous areas where nasty mold loves to hide. Consequently your weekly cleaning routine becomes a absolute breeze because dirt just slides right off the slick surface. You save your back from endless scrubbing with harsh chemical cleansers.
Living down here in the beautiful Sunshine State means dealing with lots of humidity and salty air which wrecks home fixtures fast. Our small community of about 1500 residents deserves quality work that stands up to this coastal climate. We know the local neighborhoods around East Bay and the yellow River very well.
Since the median household income around these parts is about $54,519 we understand the value of a hard-earned dollar. Spending thousands on a plumber just does not make sense when a beautiful restoration does the trick. Our neighbors in the local 32566 zip code area always appreciate honest prices and solid craftsmanship.
To prove our commitment to the area we always show up on time and clean up our mess completely. Which means you can trust us in your home while you go enjoy your day. We treat your property with the exact same respect we show our own families.
| Restoration Factor | Full Replacement | Our Specialty Coating |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very high ($3,000 - $8,000) | Super affordable |
| Time to Complete | Up to a week of mess | Less than five hours |
| Durability | Long lasting but pricey | Excellent with proper care |
As you can see from the details above the choice is pretty obvious for anyone watching their budget. This comparison shows how much cash stays in your wallet when you choose refinishing. You get to spend those savings on fun weekend trips or family dinners instead.
Additionally you do not have to worry about contractors breaking your precious tiles or damaging your drywall during removal. Sometimes pulling out an old cast iron monster ruins the surrounding floorboards too. We avoid all that nightmare drama by working strictly on the existing structure.
First we scrape away all the old crusty caulk and scrub the entire area with heavy-duty cleaners. This critical step removes years of built-up soap scum, body oils, and stubborn hard water deposits. Without this deep cleaning the new materials simply will not stick to the old base.
Next we apply a specialized etching agent that creates microscopic pores in the original porcelain or fiberglass. Think of it like sanding a piece of wood before you paint it so the coat grips tight. We take our time here because a perfect prep job guarantees a long-lasting result.
After the surface is etched we patch up any nasty rust spots, chips, or deep scratches. We use a waterproof polyester filler that cures quickly and gets sanded down totally flat. This ensures the final coat looks completely seamless without any weird bumps or valleys...
Then we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to block any overspray. Our heavy-duty ventilation fans pull the fumes out of your window so your house stays fresh. Your safety and peace of mind are always our top priorities during the job.
Once everything is sealed tight we spray multiple coats of our premium aliphatic acrylic polyurethane. This material is the secret sauce that gives you that deep liquid shine and incredible durability. We apply it in thin even layers to prevent any ugly runs or sags from forming.
Finally you just let the new finish cure for about twenty-four hours before you run the water. Once it sets you can peel off the tape and enjoy a beautiful bath that looks brand new. The transformation will absolutely blow your mind when you step into the room.
Now that your basin looks gorgeous you want to keep it that way for the next decade. This requires switching to gentle foam cleansers instead of those abrasive scrubbing powders that scratch plastic. A simple wipe down with a soft towel after each use works wonders for maintaining the shine.
Moreover you should avoid using those suction cup bathmats because they can pull the new coating right off. We can actually apply a permanent non-slip texture to the bottom during our process if you worry about slipping. This built-in safety feature keeps you secure without damaging the fresh glaze.
By following these simple guidelines you protect your investment and keep the bathroom looking top-tier. It is honestly incredibly easy to maintain once you get into the habit. You will love showing off your refreshed space to visiting friends and family.
Perhaps you are still wondering if your specific setup is a good candidate for this amazing process. This is exactly why we love coming out to take a look and chat with you in person. We provide honest advice and will tell you straight up what works best for your home.
Since we love supporting our local community we keep our quotes completely free with zero pressure attached. You get all the facts and numbers so you can make the best decision for your budget. There are absolutely no hidden fees or surprise costs waiting for you at the end.
So pick up the phone to schedule your visit today. Let us help you fall in love with your bathroom all over again without the heavy financial stress. We cannot wait to meet you and transform your home with our specialized restoration skills!
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 Holley, 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.
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.
