A dull or chipped tub in Jonesboro 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.
Your old tub looks pretty rough these days. Honestly, the dingy surface probably makes you want to keep the shower curtain closed when guests visit. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to fix this eyesore.
By choosing to update your existing fixture, you save a mountain of cash. This smart option breathes new life into worn surfaces right inside your home. Our local team specializes in restoring that original luster without ripping out your walls.
Imagine stepping into a sparkling basin that looks brand new tomorrow morning. That fresh feeling is much closer than you think. Contact us today to request your free estimate and get started on this simple home upgrade.
Many homeowners assume a stained basin is a lost cause. However, our specialized process chemically bonds a new, durable topcoat to your existing cast iron or fiberglass structure. This technique fills in microscopic pores where dirt and mildew love to hide.
First, we clean the area thoroughly to remove every trace of soap scum and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures the new materials adhere perfectly to the old surface. After that, we repair any chips, cracks, or deep scratches that ruin the look.
Next, we apply a professional-grade bonding agent followed by several coats of a high-tech protective finish. This durable coating creates a glossy, liquid-smooth barrier that resists daily wear. Consequently, your bathroom looks modern and clean without the massive price tag of a full remodel.
Replacing a heavy fixture is a logistical nightmare that often involves plumbing modifications and broken tiles. Besides the high cost of a new basin, you have to pay for disposal fees and expensive contractor labor. Our on-site service avoids all of that chaos completely.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple breakdown of what to expect:
| Factor | Full Replacement | Surface Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Project Duration | 3 to 7 days of mess | Done in a single day |
| Average Expenses | Very high cost | Extremely budget-friendly |
| Mess and Dust | Plaster and drywall dust everywhere | Virtually zero construction debris |
This table clearly shows why smart homeowners choose to refinish instead of rebuild. You keep your original layout while enjoying a clean, bright space. Plus, you get to use your bathroom again in just a couple of days.
We love working throughout this friendly Indiana community of about 1,311 residents. Because we know the local water quality, we use materials that stand up to regional mineral buildup. Houses here in the 46938 ZIP code area deserve top-tier craftsmanship that lasts for years.
With a median household income of $43,188, local families appreciate smart ways to stretch their hard-earned dollars. Spending a fortune on a contractor is simply not necessary when restoration is an option. We deliver beautiful results that fit comfortably into your family budget.
Whether you live near the Mississinewa River or closer to the heart of town, we bring our mobile workshop directly to your driveway. Our team respects your property and always leaves the workspace spotless. We treat your home with the same care we would show to our own families.
Once our team completes the application, a little bit of proper care goes a long way. You should avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that scratch the shiny new surface. Simple dish soap and a soft sponge will keep the area sparkling clean without any heavy scrubbing.
Another great tip is to fix leaky faucets quickly so water does not drip constantly on the same spot. Standing water can eventually dull even the toughest professional coatings over time. Taking care of small leaks protects your investment and keeps everything looking pristine.
Additionally, we recommend avoiding bath mats with suction cups because they can trap moisture underneath the plastic. Instead, look for mats designed specifically for refinished surfaces to prevent peeling. These small habits ensure your renewed fixture looks stunning for a decade or more.
We do not use cheap DIY spray kits from the local hardware store that peel off after a few months. Our crew works with industrial-strength compounds that require professional ventilation and safety gear. This ensures a safe application process and a commercial-grade bond.
This attention to detail means your new surface will not crack or yellow as it ages. We take pride in our prep work because a finish is only as good as the surface underneath it. That commitment to quality is why our customers constantly refer us to their neighbors.
Now is the perfect time to transform your outdated bathroom into a clean oasis. Skip the dusty demolition and choose the smart, affordable way to upgrade your home. Reach out today to schedule your free quote with our friendly team.
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 Jonesboro, 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.
