A dull or chipped tub in Iron Station 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.
Do you look at your worn out washing vessel and wish for a fresh look without spending thousands? Well you can totally transform that outdated fixture with our specialized local service right here in Lincoln County. This lets you save loads of cash while getting a gorgeous new finish on your tub.
Many homeowners in the 28080 area deal with chips and stains that refuse to budge no matter how hard you scrub. Fortunately our team comes directly to your home to spray a tough new coating over the old porcelain. Which means your washing basin looks brand new in just one afternoon.
Tearing out an old bathing fixture creates a huge mess and costs a small fortune in labor and new materials. Instead of doing all that demolition work you can simply hire us to apply a fresh layer of high grade acrylic resin. This approach gives you fantastic results at a fraction of the usual remodeling price tag.
Plus pulling out a heavy tub often ruins surrounding tiles and plumbing lines which adds even more unexpected bills to your project. By leaving the original structure completely intact you avoid those hidden repair costs entirely. Consequently your bathroom upgrade stays firmly inside your budget.
Nobody wants their main bathroom out of commission for weeks while contractors hammer away at the walls. Luckily our specialized surface restoration process takes only a few hours from start to finish. This lets you get back to your normal daily routine almost immediately.
Most projects cure fully within twenty four hours so you can soak in your revitalized washing vessel by the very next night. On top of that our crew cleans up every speck of dust before leaving your property. Therefore you never have to worry about a messy construction zone inside your house.
Getting a smooth and lasting finish requires serious attention to detail during the initial prep work phase. First we scrub the entire porcelain or fiberglass surface to eliminate soap scum and body oils completely. This ensures the bonding agent sticks properly without any weak spots.
Next we tape off your walls and floors to protect the rest of your bathroom from stray overspray droplets. Afterward we patch any existing chips or deep cracks using a heavy duty waterproof filler. This creates a perfectly smooth foundation for the upcoming layers.
Once the prep work finishes we use a specialized HVLP spray gun to apply multiple coats of industrial strength polyurethane. This advanced material creates a stunning glossy sheen that rivals the appearance of a brand new fixture. Meanwhile you get to enjoy a wonderfully smooth surface that resists future stains.
Modern coatings also include anti microbial properties to stop mold and mildew from taking root in damp corners. Because of this added benefit cleaning your bathing area becomes an absolute breeze every weekend. Naturally your daily chores get much simpler thanks to our expert craftsmanship.
Our small census designated community in Lincoln County holds about 743 friendly residents who take great pride in their homes.

Looking at the table above clearly reveals why so many budget conscious neighbors choose to repair rather than replace. Beyond saving money you also keep tons of heavy cast iron or fiberglass out of local landfills. This eco friendly choice benefits the environment while giving your bathroom a massive visual upgrade.
Furthermore you retain the original vintage charm of older tubs that modern manufacturers simply do not replicate anymore. Many historic homes feature deep soaking basins built with superior craftsmanship that modern stamp pressed steel cannot touch. By restoring what you already own you preserve that unique character.
When you take good care of your newly sprayed washing vessel the brilliant shine easily lasts for ten to fifteen years. Naturally you must use mild non abrasive cleaners instead of harsh scouring powders to protect the glossy coat. Following these simple care instructions guarantees long lasting satisfaction.
Avoid dropping heavy metal tools or sharp objects directly onto the coated surface to prevent accidental chipping. Should an accident ever happen local touch up kits can fix minor blemishes in minutes. This level of durability gives you total peace of mind for years.
Standard bright white remains the most popular choice because it makes small bathrooms look bigger and brighter. However we also offer various off white and almond shades to match your existing sink and toilet fixtures. This flexibility lets you achieve a cohesive design scheme across the entire room.
Custom color matching is sometimes available upon request if you are going for a bold and dramatic interior design theme. Just talk to our team about your specific vision when we arrive for your initial consultation. We always strive to accommodate your creative preferences whenever possible.
Ready to wave goodbye to that stubborn rust stain and welcome back a gorgeous glossy bathing basin into your daily life? Well taking action right now takes less than a minute of your time and costs you absolutely nothing. Simply reach out to our friendly local team to schedule your no obligation assessment.

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 Iron Station, 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.
