All over Lafayette County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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.
Are you tired of looking at that stained, chipped, or outdated porcelain basin in your washroom? You can actually transform the entire look of your space without paying for a total tear-out that leaves your house in complete shambles.
Most people think the only way to get a shiny new basin is to rip the old one out. This involves heavy hammers, loud noises, and a huge mess that lingers for weeks. Plus, you have to deal with plumbers, tile setters, and contractors who might not show up on time. It ends up costing you a small fortune just to fix a surface that is otherwise perfectly sound.
Actually, you can save thousands by keeping the structure you already have in place. The iron or steel shell underneath is often much stronger than those cheap modern replacements you find at big stores today. By simply updating the surface, you get the visual appeal of a brand new unit while keeping the sturdy bones you already own. This process makes your bathroom feel like a high-end spa overnight.
First, our team comes out to inspect the current state of your fixtures to ensure they are good candidates for this treatment. We clean everything thoroughly to remove years of soap scum, hard water buildup, and hidden oils that prevent a good bond. Then, we repair any deep scratches, chips, or cracks using a specialized resin filler that hardens like rock.
Next, we apply a high-quality bonding agent that allows our specialized coating to stick firmly to the porcelain or fiberglass. This creates a durable shield that resists future stains and makes cleaning up a total breeze. You get to choose from a variety of colors to match your updated decor exactly. Everything is finished with a high-gloss spray that gives you that luxurious, brand-new sheen.
One of the biggest perks is the sheer speed of the work compared to a full renovation. You will not have to live in a construction zone for days on end while workers stomp through your hallway. We can usually finish the entire job in just a few hours, and you can get back to using your space by the next day. This minimizes the disruption to your daily life significantly.
Another major benefit is how much money you keep in your pocket. Replacing a heavy cast-iron unit requires professional plumbing help, disposal fees for the old junk, and new tiling work around the edges. By choosing our service in Lafayette County, Arkansas, you avoid all those extra costs entirely. You essentially get a massive upgrade for a fraction of what a full remodel would take from your bank account.
Choosing to keep your existing unit is a great way to help the planet. When you tear out a perfectly good sink or basin, it ends up in a landfill where it sits for eternity. We prefer to breathe new life into older pieces, which reduces waste and lowers the demand for manufacturing new heavy products. You feel good knowing your home update has a lower footprint.
Moreover, the materials we use are designed to be safe and effective for residential use. We take care of all the ventilation and masking to protect the rest of your room from any overspray. You simply walk back into a fresh, gleaming space that looks like it just came out of a luxury design catalog. It is the smartest way to invest in your property value.
Living in a rural area like this region means you know the value of a dollar and the importance of hiring someone who shows up. Since our area has a unique population density, you deserve a contractor who respects your time and your property. We pride ourselves on being reliable, honest, and easy to talk to about your specific needs.
Working with a local team means you get personalized attention that you just do not get from big chains. We know the common issues that older homes in this part of the state face with their plumbing fixtures. We bring all our own equipment, supplies, and protective gear to ensure your home stays neat throughout the entire process. No job is too small for us to handle with care.
On top of that, we provide a completely free estimate so you know exactly what to expect before we even touch your fixture. We do not believe in hidden fees or surprise charges that appear after the work is done. You get a transparent breakdown of the costs and the expected timeline for your specific project. This lets you make an informed decision without any pressure.
Many folks wonder how long this shiny new finish will actually last under normal daily use. The truth is that when you treat the surface with care, it stays bright and smooth for many years. You should avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbers that might scratch the new layer. Just use mild soap and a soft cloth to keep it looking pristine for a long time.
Yes, we can shift your old avocado green or mustard yellow basin into a clean, modern white or a soft almond tone. This change makes a massive difference in how bright your bathroom feels during the morning routine. You do not have to live with outdated colors just because your fixtures are old. A fresh coat acts as a total visual reset button for your entire room.
Whether you have a clawfoot piece from a century ago or a standard alcove unit, we have the skills to handle it. Every job receives our full focus to ensure the finish is smooth and free of any debris or bubbles. You will be amazed at the difference a simple professional touch can make in your home. It really turns a dull room into a highlight of your property.

Our team is ready to head out to your location and give you the professional advice you need to get started. You deserve a space that offers you total comfort and joy every single morning.
Getting your free estimate is the easiest part of the whole process. You simply reach out to us with your details, and we will schedule a time that works for your busy calendar.

Give your bathroom the upgrade it needs without the stress of a full construction project. We look forward to working with you and making your bathroom look spectacular again!
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, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
