A dull or chipped tub in Homewood 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 you look at your old, stained tub every single day and just sigh because it looks so dingy and worn out. You probably think that getting a clean, shiny surface again means spending thousands of dollars to rip the whole thing out and start over. Luckily, a much easier and cheaper alternative exists that will make your tub look brand new in just a few hours.
Our local team specializes in restoring that glossy finish directly in your home without any messy demolition. This simple process saves you tons of time and keeps your hard-earned cash in your wallet where it belongs. If you want to transform your bathroom today, you can easily request a free estimate from us right now.
First, we clean the entire surface with specialized solutions to remove decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This step is absolutely crucial because the new coating needs a perfectly clean surface to stick to properly. Then, we repair any deep chips or ugly scratches with a durable filler material to make the surface completely flat and smooth again.
After preparing the surface, we apply a strong bonding agent that acts like a super-glue for the new finish. Next, we carefully spray several layers of a high-tech acrylic coating over the entire area. Finally, this fresh coating cures into a hard, glossy shell that looks exactly like brand-new porcelain.
Which means you get a gorgeous, sparkling wash basin without the loud noise and giant mess of a traditional construction project. On top of that, our process only takes a single day to complete from start to finish. You will be amazed at how a simple surface restoration completely changes the feel of your entire bathroom.
If you decide to replace your old fixture, you have to hire a plumber, pay for disposal fees, and buy a brand-new unit. These costs add up incredibly fast and can easily turn into a financial nightmare. Our restoration service offers a much smarter path that achieves the exact same beautiful result for a fraction of the cost.
| Comparison Factor | Complete Replacement | Surface Restoration Service |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High ($3,000 - $8,000) | Highly Affordable |
| Time to Complete | One to two weeks of mess | Less than 24 hours |
| Permits Needed | Usually required by the city | None required |
| Durability | Long-lasting but expensive | Excellent with proper care |
Now, think about the absolute chaos of having contractors walking through your hallways for a week or more. That headache completely disappears when you choose our quick, clean, and highly efficient local service instead. We treat your home with the utmost respect and leave absolutely no mess behind for you to clean up.
You might see cheap paint kits at your local home improvement store and think about trying it yourself over the weekend. However, those retail products simply cannot match the strength of professional-grade chemical coatings. Most DIY projects end up peeling and cracking within just a few months because the bonding process fails.
Our team uses heavy-duty commercial equipment and specialized safety gear to apply a truly permanent bond. This ensures that your new finish will not bubble up when you fill the basin with hot water. Investing in a professional application now saves you from the double cost of fixing a failed DIY attempt later.
This lets you enjoy a worry-free experience because we back up our work with a solid local guarantee. You deserve a beautiful bathroom that holds up to daily use without any stressful peeling or flaking. Let our experienced hands do the heavy lifting while you sit back and relax.

Once we complete the job, keeping your shiny new surface clean is actually incredibly easy and stress-free. You must avoid harsh abrasive powders and scratchy scrubbing pads because they can dull the glossy finish over time. Instead, simply use mild liquid dish soap and a soft sponge to wipe down the basin after use.
This simple habit prevents soap scum buildup and keeps the acrylic coating looking bright and fresh for years. We also recommend fixing leaky faucets quickly so constant dripping does not wear down the new surface prematurely. With just a tiny bit of regular care, your restored fixture will look fantastic for a very long time.

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 Homewood, 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.
