A dull or chipped tub in LaFayette 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.
You probably stare at that stained, chipped, or outdated basin every morning and wish for a change. Replacing that heavy porcelain beast is a nightmare that creates a massive mountain of dusty debris in your house.
Fortunately, there is a way to make it look brand new without ripping your pipes out of the wall. This simple process saves you serious cash while giving you that high-end feeling of a renovated space.
Basically, this work involves applying a high-tech, durable coating over your existing basin to seal scratches and change the color. It transforms that dingy yellow or outdated pink into a crisp, bright white that reflects light beautifully.
Think of it like putting a brand-new skin on your fixtures. Because it bonds directly to the original material, you get a smooth finish that makes cleaning a breeze for years.
Most homeowners in Christian County dread the thought of hiring plumbers and tile experts just to swap a tub. The cost of a full bathroom gut job adds up faster than you can count your change.
Instead of burning through your savings, you keep the structural integrity of your plumbing intact. You avoid the stress of broken tiles and water leaks that often happen when someone rips out an old tub.
Living in a town with roughly 180 residents means we appreciate value and keeping things nice. Even with a modest median household income of $21,250, you still deserve a place that feels like a cozy retreat.
Whether you live near the local schools or out toward the quiet fields of LaFayette, keeping your home maintained is a top priority. When your fixtures look tired, the whole room feels a bit sad.
You get a glossy, non-porous finish that resists mold and mildew better than old, pitted porcelain ever could. This means you spend way less time scrubbing with harsh chemicals on a Saturday morning.
Imagine stepping into a basin that feels silky smooth against your skin instead of rough and grimy. It provides that sense of pure relaxation you crave after a long day of hard work.
First, we carefully clean the surface to strip away soap scum, oils, and old sealants that hide in the cracks. We use industrial-strength cleaners that cut through years of buildup so the new finish sticks tight.
Next, we repair any deep chips or cracks using a special filler that dries rock hard. Once the surface is perfectly flat, we mask off your walls and floors to keep everything else clean.
Then, we apply several layers of a high-grade synthetic resin that cures into a rock-solid shell. This creates a barrier that is both heat resistant and incredibly easy to wipe down.
Because this is a liquid application, it flows into every tiny pore of the original surface to ensure a perfect bond. You end up with a finish that feels just as sturdy as the day the tub was installed.
| Feature | Full Replacement | Surface Renewal | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very Expensive | Highly Affordable | |
| Time Required | Several Weeks | One Full Day | |
| Mess Level | High Debris | Minimal Dust | |
| Durability | High | Excellent |
You might wonder if this coating will peel off after a few months of heavy use. When done by a pro, the bond is so tight that it lasts for years without showing signs of wear.
Provided you avoid using abrasive scrubbers or steel wool, your new finish stays shiny for a very long time. It acts as a shield against the constant moisture in your bathroom.
You are not stuck with boring white if you want something different. We can tint the mixture to match whatever vibe you are going for in your home.
Maybe you want a cool gray or a soft cream to match your walls. Whatever your vision is, we make sure it turns out exactly how you pictured it in your head.
Before we show up, please clear all your personal items like shampoo bottles and bath mats away from the area. We need a clear path to get our equipment in and out without any trouble.
If you have leaky faucets, it is smart to get those fixed before the treatment begins. Standing water can cause tiny pinholes in the new finish if it drips while the coating is still wet.
You might be tempted by those cheap kits you see on the shelf at the big box store. Honestly, those never last because they lack the industrial catalysts that make the finish truly permanent.
Those store-bought mixtures often yellow or bubble up within a few months because they cannot handle heat cycles. You deserve a professional application that stands up to the test of time.
During the spraying process, the air needs to move properly to keep the fumes away from your living space. We use specialized fans to vent the air outside throughout the entire job.
This keeps your house smelling fresh and ensures the drying process happens as fast as possible. Once the job is done, you just wait for the curing time and then you are ready to go.

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 LaFayette, 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.
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.
