Maybe you already looked at the price of a brand new acrylic basin at the local hardware store.
That cheap price tag on the shelf is a total trap because it excludes the cost of the contractor.
You will quickly find out that old cast iron monsters do not want to leave your home quietly.
Demolition crews often have to smash your old fixtures with sledgehammers just to fit them through the door.
This violent process frequently ruins your beautiful floor tiles and shakes up your wall drywall.
On top of that, you will have to pay a licensed plumber a fortune to hook everything back up.
Our budget-friendly resurfacing alternative bypasses all of this destructive chaos entirely.
We work directly with the solid fixture you already have sitting in your bathroom.
This smart choice keeps your hard-earned money in your wallet while delivering the same beautiful results.
| Project Step | Full Replacement Method | Our Surface Renewal Method |
|---|---|---|
| Debris Removal | Very expensive landfill fees | Absolutely zero waste |
| Plumbing Work | Requires costly pipe relocation | No pipe modifications needed |
| Project Duration | One to two weeks of mess | Finished in a single day |
Now you can see why so many neighbors choose this specialized restoration path.
We make sure you do not get stuck with unexpected plaster repairs or tile matching nightmares.
Which means your home stays clean, quiet, and completely free of construction dust.
Some people think this job is just about slapping on a fresh coat of cheap hardware store paint.
In reality, DIY kits usually peel off within a few months because they lack professional grade chemistry.
Our multi-step chemical bonding process actually fuses the new topcoat directly to your old cast iron or porcelain.
First, we meticulously clean the area with industrial prep solutions to strip away decades of soap scum.
Then we apply a specialized molecular bonding agent that acts like microscopic anchor hooks.
This ensures the high-performance acrylic polymer coating sticks forever without bubbling up later.
After that, we spray the durable topcoat using professional high-volume low-pressure equipment for a glassy finish.
The final result looks incredibly smooth and feels wonderfully slick to the touch.
This process gives you a brilliant, easy-to-clean surface that resists future stains and chipping.
Perhaps you are wondering if your specific setup is a good candidate for this transformation.
We easily refresh traditional cast iron, heavy pressed steel, and even modern fiberglass units.
This versatility lets you upgrade almost any shower surround or basin in your home.
Sometimes your old fiberglass shower pan develops tiny structural cracks from years of flexing underfoot.
We can actually reinforce those weak spots with strong mesh before applying the final finish.
This extra step saves you from expensive water leaks that ruin your subfloor.
Our local parish is famous for its rich history, gorgeous bayous, and warm, welcoming communities.
From the bustling northern areas down to the coastal southern reaches, we love serving our neighbors here.
With over ninety-six thousand residents calling this region home, we understand the local styles and housing quirks.
Many local homes feature classic mid-century layouts with beautiful, heavy cast iron fixtures.
The median household income here sits around fifty-seven thousand dollars, making smart home maintenance very important.
Our affordable service fits perfectly into local budgets, whether you live in ZIP code 70301 or 70354.
Humidity in southern Louisiana can also be incredibly tough on home surfaces and paint jobs.
Our specialized coatings are specifically designed to handle high moisture levels without breaking down.
Which means you get a long-lasting, mildew-resistant finish that thrives in our damp climate.
Once we finish our magic, you will want to keep that glossy shine looking great for years.
The secret is throwing away those abrasive scouring powders and harsh scratchy scrub sponges.
These rough cleaners will actually scratch the finish and make it catch dirt faster.
Instead, you should use mild dish soap or gentle liquid cleaners with a soft microfiber cloth.
This simple routine keeps the surface looking brand new with almost zero physical effort.
Which means you spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees during your weekend.
We also recommend avoiding leaving wet bottles of shampoo sitting directly on the ledge for weeks.
Using a simple hanging shower caddy keeps standing water from resting on the finish.
These easy habits will easily extend the lifespan of your beautiful new surface.
You do not have to live with a stained, embarrassing bathroom for another single day.

Let us help you achieve that fresh, modern look without the stressful mess of a remodel.
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.
