A dull or chipped tub in Kellyton 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.
That ugly, stained bathroom fixture does not need to go into a Alabama landfill.
Actually, you can completely renew its surface without the massive mess of a full demolition.
This simple choice saves you thousands of dollars while giving your washroom a fresh, clean look.
Maybe you are staring at a faded, scratchy surface that collects grime like a magnet.
Which means you spend way too much time scrubbing on your hands and knees.
Fortunately, our local service brings that shiny, smooth factory look back to life in just one day.
Our skilled crew travels right to your home in Coosa County to handle everything.
This lets you avoid the nightmare of hiring plumbers and tearing down drywall just to fix one ugly spot.
We specialize in restoring these heavy basins so they shine like they just came off the showroom floor.
Think about the last time you watched a home remodeling show on television.
They always make demolition look super fun and easy, but they never show the hidden water damage behind the walls.
When you pull out an old cast iron or fiberglass tub, you usually end up breaking surrounding tiles and subflooring.
That little upgrade quickly spirals into a massive, expensive construction headache.
On top of that, you might have to wait weeks for different contractors to finish their parts of the job.
Our custom resurfacing process completely bypasses that chaos by working directly on your existing setup.
We do not touch your walls, plumbing, or flooring during the process.
Instead, we apply a high-tech, durable liquid acrylic coating right over your thoroughly prepared old basin.
This bond becomes incredibly strong, meaning your upgraded surface will easily stand up to daily use for years.
Here is a quick comparison of what you face with both options:
| Factor | Full Replacement | On-Site Surface Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High (Plumbing, Tile, Disposal) | Affordable and Budget-Friendly |
| Time to Complete | One to Two Weeks | Four to Six Hours |
| Mess and Dust | Heavy Construction Debris | Very Minimal with Active Ventilation |
| Lifespan | Decades (if installed right) | 10 to 15 Years with Proper Care |
First, we clean the entire area with specialized industrial cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum.
This step is critical because even a tiny speck of body oil can ruin the new finish.
We take our time here to make sure the bare material is completely clean and dry.
Next, we carefully repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks in the bottom.
We fill these imperfections with a waterproof polyester putty that cures quickly and sand it perfectly flat.
You will never be able to feel where the old damage used to be once we finish.
After that, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically welds our new coating to your old surface.
Then we spray several uniform coats of our premium topcoat using professional high-volume, low-pressure equipment.
This advanced spraying technique prevents runs and leaves a gorgeous, high-gloss finish that looks exactly like real porcelain.

We treat every single bathroom we enter with the utmost respect, as if it belonged to our own family.
Many homes around here feature classic styling but need a little modern touch-up.
With a local median household income of $39,167, spending ten thousand dollars on a bathroom remodel is not realistic.
Our affordable alternative gives you that clean, premium feeling without draining your hard-earned savings account.
Whether you live in the 35089 ZIP code or the surrounding countryside, we come straight to your door.
We understand the unique charm of homes in Kellyton, Alabama, and we know how to preserve that historic character.
You get a beautiful, updated bathroom while keeping the original layout of your home completely intact.
Heavy, antique cast iron tubs are our absolute favorite projects to tackle because they have so much character.
These old fixtures are incredibly sturdy, but their glass-like glaze eventually wears thin and gets dull.
We can make that heavy iron beast look brand new while saving you from carrying a 300-pound hazard down your stairs.
Modern fiberglass and acrylic units also respond beautifully to our advanced restoration methods.
These lightweight materials tend to flex, which causes hairline cracks and yellowing over time.
Our specialized coatings reinforce these surfaces, sealing up those micro-cracks so water cannot leak underneath.
Caring for your restored basin is actually much easier than scrubbing a worn-out, porous one.
Because the new non-porous surface is incredibly slick, dirt and soap residue slide right down the drain.
You will never have to use harsh, abrasive bleach powder or scratchy green pads ever again.
In fact, using abrasive cleaners will dull the beautiful shine and void your warranty.
Simply wipe the surface down with a mild liquid dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth after use.
This simple routine keeps the glossy protective layer looking bright and reflective for over a decade.
We also advise against leaving wet bottles of shampoo or damp washcloths sitting directly on the rim.
Standing water under plastic bottles can trap moisture, which might eventually weaken the chemical bond.
Using a simple hanging shower caddy is an easy way to keep your new finish dry and pristine.
Are you ready to stop hiding your ugly bathroom behind a thick, dark shower curtain?
We would love to look at your project and give you an honest, upfront price sheet.
Our friendly team provides completely free, no-obligation quotes so you can plan your home upgrade with confidence.
You do not have to live with a stained, scratched, or outdated bathing space any longer.

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 Kellyton, 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.

The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
