A dull or chipped tub in Kennedy 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.
When you walk into your washroom, does the sight of that stained, faded basin make you want to close your eyes? Since you deserve a bright, inviting space to start your day, keeping that old fixture looking clean becomes a top priority. Instead of tearing out your entire plumbing setup and spending thousands of dollars, a much smarter path exists to make everything look brand new again. This simple choice saves you time and keeps money in your pocket.
Because we believe in honest work, our team comes directly to your home to restore that worn-out finish to its original shine. Our process fixes the ugly chips and scratches without the mess of a total demolition. By applying a tough, glossy new protective layer right over the existing structure, we give your washroom a complete makeover in just one day.
If you want to see how affordable this transformation can be, you should grab a free estimate from us today. To help you understand how this magic happens, we will walk you through the whole process step by step. You will quickly see why so many of your neighbors choose this smart update over expensive remodeling.
First, we clean the surface with specialized industrial solutions to strip away decades of soap scum, hard water deposits, and old body oils. This crucial step ensures the new coating bonds perfectly to the old porcelain or fiberglass. If we skip this deep clean, the new finish might peel off later, which we absolutely want to avoid.
Next, we repair any deep gouges, cracks, or rust spots that have made your basin look worn down over the years. Our technicians use high-quality polyester fillers to patch up these damaged areas until the surface feels completely smooth to the touch. This attention to detail guarantees a flawless, flat base before we even think about painting.
After that, we apply a specialized bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor between the old material and our new topcoat. Then, we spray on several layers of a high-tech acrylic polymer coating using advanced ventilation systems to keep your home smelling fresh. This advanced material cures into a hard, glossy shell that looks exactly like brand-new porcelain.
When you take proper care of your newly finished surface, it can easily last for ten to fifteen years without losing its luster. This means you must avoid abrasive cleansers like bleach powders or scratchy green scrub pads. Instead, you should use gentle liquid soaps and soft sponges to keep the shine bright and beautiful.
To give you a better idea of how this option compares to a traditional replacement, we put together a simple comparison table below.
| Feature | Our Refinishing Method | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with plumbing labor |
| Time to Complete | Usually under 24 hours | Several days or even weeks of mess |
| Durability | 10 to 15 years with basic care | Long-lasting but prone to modern wear |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal, fully contained | Heavy demolition dust and broken tiles |
Since we live and work in this beautiful part of Lamar County, we understand the unique needs of our local community. We know that many homes in the 35574 area code feature sturdy, historic fixtures that possess far better quality than the cheap plastic units sold in stores today. By choosing to restore your classic cast-iron basin, you preserve a piece of craftsmanship while upgrading its appearance.
With a local median household income of $42,031, we know that spending five thousand dollars on a bathroom remodel just does not make sense for most families. Our services offer a premium look without the premium price tag, which helps you spend your hard-earned money on other important things. We take pride in helping our neighbors in this cozy town of 424 residents keep their homes looking beautiful on a sensible budget.
On top of saving money, you also save yourself from the headache of dealing with messy contractors walking through your hallways for weeks. Our friendly technician arrives on time, completes the job with minimal disruption, and leaves your bathroom sparkling clean. This hassle-free experience lets you get back to your normal routine without any unwanted stress.
Before you decide to buy a cheap new basin at the hardware store, you should consider the hidden expenses of demolition. Often, the old unit cannot fit through the bathroom door without tearing down drywall or cutting the door frame. This extra labor quickly inflates your plumbing bill and turns a simple weekend project into a construction nightmare.
Furthermore, removing an old cast-iron model can easily damage the surrounding tiles, which means you will have to pay for expensive tile repairs too. If your home has older pipes, disturbing them during a demolition can lead to unexpected leaks behind your walls. Our surface restoration avoids all of these risky complications because we do not touch your existing plumbing connections.
By keeping your original fixture in place, you also prevent heavy, non-biodegradable materials from clogging up our local Alabama landfills. This makes our process a wonderful choice for your wallet and a very environmentally friendly option for our planet. You get a gorgeous, shiny washroom while doing your part to reduce construction waste.
Once our technician arrives at your home, they will carefully mask off your bathroom floors, walls, and vanity to protect them from any overspray. We set up professional exhaust fans to draw any fumes directly out of the window, keeping your indoor air safe and breathable. You can simply relax in your living room while we do all the heavy lifting.
After we finish spraying the final glossy layer, we remove all our protective tape and clean up our workspace thoroughly. We will leave you with clear, easy-to-follow care instructions so you can maximize the lifespan of your beautiful new finish. Within just twenty-four hours, the surface will be fully cured and ready for your first relaxing soak.
Now that you know how easy and affordable it is to transform your bathroom, you do not have to live with an ugly, stained basin anymore. Our friendly team is ready to answer your questions and help you choose the perfect color for your space. We promise to treat your home with the utmost respect and deliver a finish that will make you smile every time you walk by.
Which means you can finally get the clean, bright washroom you have always wanted without breaking the bank.

Let us show you how we can bring luxury and freshness back into your home with our professional restoration services.
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 Kennedy, 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.
