A dull or chipped tub in Kilgore 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 hate looking at that stained and chipped bathing fixture every morning? Well, replacing it costs a fortune and tears up your whole bathroom. Luckily, our local surface revival team brings your old unit back to life with a fresh spray coating.
Maybe your porcelain basin looks totally gross and stained from hard water. Instead of buying a brand-new tub, you can save tons of cash with our local resurfacing magic. This clever trick gives you a glossy finish without a messy demo day.
Now, let us talk about why your old basin loses its smooth shine over time. Harsh scrubbing bubbles eat away at the factory glaze and leave tiny microscopic pits. Dirt gets trapped inside these little holes and makes the tub look constantly dirty. Luckily, spraying a fresh polymer layer fixes this gross problem right up.
Before doing anything, you need to understand how this chemical bonding process actually works in real life. Our crew scrubs the entire surface with strong acid etching cleaners to remove soap scum. Then, we spray a tough acrylic urethane coating that bonds tight to the old porcelain. This clever method gives you total peace of mind and keeps your bathroom looking amazing.
Tearing out a heavy cast iron tub damages your tile walls and floors big time. By choosing our onsite resurfacing method, you skip the sledgehammers and keep your plumbing intact. This lets you save thousands of dollars on expensive bathroom remodeling bills.
On top of that, a brand-new fixture installation takes weeks of loud construction chaos in your house. Our skilled techs finish the whole spraying job in just one single morning. Which means you get to use your shiny new-looking bathtub by the very next day.
Ventilation is super important because these bonding liquids have a very strong chemical odor. Our crew sets up heavy-duty exhaust fans to blow all the fumes right out your window. This keeps your indoor air safe while we work on your bathroom surfaces.
After clearing the air, we mask off your surrounding tiles and floors with heavy plastic sheeting. Then, we mix a special multi-component epoxy primer that sticks firmly to porcelain and fiberglass alike. This vital step guarantees your new glossy coat will never peel or bubble up.
Being based right here in this wonderful Texas region means we truly understand local homes. Our crew drives all over the area helping neighbors in ZIP codes 75662 and 75663 fix their tired fixtures. With a local population hovering around 14,948 friendly folks, we treat every single customer like family.
Many houses around here were built decades ago with colorful tubs that are hard to match today. Replacing those heavy cast iron beasts is nearly impossible without cutting them into pieces. Luckily, applying a fresh spray coat lets you update those dated pastel pinks into clean modern white.
When looking at the median household income here, budgeting for home repairs matters a whole lot. Spending your hard-earned money on a complete bathroom gut job just does not make financial sense. Opting for our budget-friendly coating service lets you upgrade your home style without breaking the bank.
Rust stains around the drain usually mean the original protective finish wore completely away down to the metal. Left untreated, that rust will spread underneath the remaining porcelain and cause bigger structural headaches. Our team neutralizes the rust spots before spraying a fresh waterproof barrier over the area.
Hairline cracks in fiberglass tubs can let water leak right into your subfloor and rot the wood. Ignoring these leaks leads to expensive mold remediation and subfloor replacement bills down the road. Fixing the surface early stops water intrusion dead in its tracks and protects your home investment.
After we finish spraying your tub, you need to know how to clean it properly every week. Never use abrasive scouring powders or stiff metal brushes because they scratch the fresh acrylic coating. Instead, grab a soft sponge and mild dish soap to keep everything sparkling clean.
Drain cleaners containing harsh lye can also ruin your brand-new finish if they spill over the sides. Always pour liquid clog removers straight down the metal drain opening without splashing the porcelain walls. Following these simple rules ensures your restored fixture stays gorgeous for many years to come.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time Required |

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 Kilgore, 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.
