A dull or chipped tub in Hollins 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.
Is your stained, outdated tub making you dread your daily shower? You do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy bathroom demolition when a local pro can easily restore your existing fixtures to a brilliant, like-new shine. This affordable alternative saves you time and stress while giving you the gorgeous look you deserve.
Honestly, nobody wants to deal with dusty drywall, loud banging, and plumbers running in and out of the house for weeks. When you choose to update your existing wash basin surface instead of tearing it out, you avoid all that head-spinning chaos completely. Our team comes right to your home and handles the entire chemical bonding process in just a few hours.
This means you can skip the permit office and the high cost of new plumbing fixtures. Because we work with your current setup, your original tile and flooring remain completely untouched and safe from damage. You get to keep the classic charm of your old iron or acrylic tub while shedding the ugly stains and scratches.
Naturally, this process works wonders on those old cast iron models that are simply too heavy and stubborn to carry down the stairs. We apply professional-grade acrylic urethane coatings that bond directly to the old porcelain on a molecular level. After we finish our magic, your daily soaking spot looks incredibly clean and feels wonderfully smooth under your feet.
First, we thoroughly clean the area using specialized acid solutions to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures the new materials grip the old surface with absolute maximum strength. If there are any deep chips or rusty spots, we patch them up using heavy-duty waterproof fillers before we even touch the sprayer.
Next, our technicians apply a high-tech bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor between the old enamel and the new finish. We then spray multiple coats of premium aliphatic acrylic polyurethane using professional high-volume, low-pressure equipment. This advanced technique prevents unsightly drips and creates a uniform, factory-like gloss that resists fading for years.
Finally, we let the new topcoat cure completely, which usually takes around twenty-four to forty-eight hours depending on the humidity. Once it sets, your renewed fixture is ready for bubbly water, rubber ducks, and your ultimate relaxation. You will love how easy it is to wipe clean, especially since the new non-porous layer stops mold and mildew from taking root.
If you look at the numbers, replacing a fixture can easily drain your wallet because of hidden installation fees and disposal costs. Our specialized restoration service costs only a small fraction of what a full remodel would demand. This smart choice leaves you with plenty of extra cash for other home improvement projects or a fun weekend trip.
To help you compare the paths, we put together a simple breakdown of what to expect:
| Project Aspect | Full Replacement Option | Our Surface Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Average Duration | 3 to 7 days of loud construction | Finished in 4 to 6 hours |
| Plumbing Changes | Often requires costly pipe updates | Zero plumbing alterations needed |
| Dust and Mess | Extremely high throughout the home | Virtually none with our local containment |
| Total Cost | Very expensive and unpredictable | Highly affordable and upfront |
By opting for this modern coating method, you also prevent heavy, non-biodegradable cast iron and fiberglass pieces from piling up in our local landfills. It is a win-win scenario where you save your hard-earned money while making an eco-friendly choice for our beautiful southern region. Plus, the quick turnaround means your life gets back to normal almost instantly.

Whether you reside near the scenic hills or closer to the heart of town, our mobile service vehicles travel right to your doorstep. We regularly assist families who want to modernize their homes without losing the historic character of their property. Our deep understanding of local water conditions helps us choose the perfect primers to combat stubborn mineral staining over the long haul.
Indeed, our small-town population of 892 residents deserves the absolute best craftsmanship available in the industry today. We treat every single home we enter with the utmost respect, keeping our work area clean and our footprints non-existent. You will appreciate our friendly, down-to-earth communication style as we explain each step of the process clearly.
To keep that brilliant shine looking fresh for a decade or more, you must avoid abrasive scrubbing powders and harsh bleach. Instead, stick to mild liquid dish soaps or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners that dissolve grime without scratching the protective topcoat. This simple habit preserves the glossy finish so it continues to gleam like polished stone.
Additionally, we highly recommend removing any suction-cup rubber mats from the bottom of the basin after you finish bathing. These mats can trap moisture underneath, which slowly weakens the chemical bond over time and leads to premature peeling. A simple washcloth wipe-down after your shower goes a long way in keeping the surface pristine.

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 Hollins, 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.
