A dull or chipped tub in Johnston City 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.
You look at your stained, outdated tub every single morning and feel a instant wave of frustration. Replacing that massive fixture sounds like an absolute nightmare because it usually involves ripping out your walls, hiring expensive plumbers, and throwing away tons of cash. Fortunately, our team brings a much smarter, faster way to restore that glossy, pristine look right to your home.
By choosing our specialized refinishing service, you bypass the chaos of a full remodel completely. This means you save thousands of dollars while still getting a surface that looks brand new. Since we focus on high-quality bonding agents and durable topcoats, your existing basin will shine like the day it was installed.
We believe in honest, straightforward service for every homeowner in our lovely Southern Illinois community. Since we love helping our neighbors, we always provide a completely free written estimate before any work starts. This ensures you know exactly what to expect without any hidden fees or surprise charges.
Many folks confuse our specialized process with simple DIY paint kits you buy at the local hardware store. In reality, those cheap retail coatings usually peel off within a few months because they lack industrial-strength adhesion. Our multi-step method relies on professional-grade chemicals that fuse directly with your original cast iron, steel, or fiberglass basin.
First, we meticulously clean the entire area to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. After that, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or unsightly cracks so the foundation is perfectly smooth. Then, our team applies a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old surface and the new coating.
To finish the job, we spray several layers of a high-tech acrylic polymer finish. This advanced material cures into a rock-hard shield that resists impacts and stands up to daily scrubbing. Consequently, your old, dull fixture transforms into a bright, glistening masterpiece that breathes new life into the entire room.
| Project Aspect | Complete Replacement | Our Professional Refinishing |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very expensive due to plumbing and tile work | Highly affordable, saving up to 75% of costs |
| Time to Complete | Several days or even weeks of construction debris | Finished in just a few hours |
| Mess and Dust | Extremely high with broken drywall and plaster | Virtually none, with fully contained overspray |
| Lifespan | Long-lasting but requires major upfront investment | Extends surface life by 10 to 15 years with care |
When you look at the numbers, the choice becomes incredibly obvious for any budget-conscious homeowner. This smart alternative lets you keep your sturdy, original fixture while upgrading its appearance to match modern styles. Plus, you avoid the headache of having dusty construction workers tracking dirt through your hallways for a week.
Another major advantage involves keeping heavy, non-biodegradable materials out of our local landfills. Since we restore what you already own, we offer a highly eco-friendly option that respects our environment. Which means you can feel great about your beautiful upgrade while doing your part for the planet.

Before we spray a single drop of our specialized coating, we take extreme care to protect the rest of your home. This involves sealing off the bathroom with heavy plastic sheeting and setting up a powerful exhaust fan. Our ventilation system pulls all chemical fumes and overspray particles directly out of your window, keeping your indoor air clean.
Once we complete the spraying process, the new surface needs a bit of time to cure fully. This waiting period is incredibly brief compared to the weeks of waiting for a full bathroom remodel. Usually, you can start enjoying your gorgeous, glossy basin again in as little as twenty-four to forty-eight hours.
To keep your upgraded fixture looking spectacular, you must ditch abrasive bleach powders and harsh scrubbing pads. These rough cleaning tools can dull the shiny finish over time and create microscopic scratches. Instead, simply wipe the surface down with a mild liquid dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner.
Regular maintenance takes almost no effort because the new coating is completely non-porous. This means dirt, mold, and mildew have a very hard time sticking to the smooth barrier. Ultimately, you spend much less time scrubbing on your hands and knees and more time relaxing in a sparkling clean space.
Do not spend another day staring at an unsightly, stained bathroom fixture that makes you feel embarrassed. Our friendly, skilled team is ready to restore the original luster and charm of your bathing area. We make the entire process incredibly simple, clean, and affordable from start to finish.
By requesting your complimentary, no-obligation estimate today, you take the first step toward a beautiful home upgrade. We will visit your property, inspect the condition of your fixture, and provide a clear, honest price quote. Let us help you fall in love with your bathroom all over again without the heavy cost of replacement.
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 Johnston City, 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.
