A dull or chipped tub in Lake City 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.
Maybe your old wash basin looks like it went through a war zone. This is where you can totally change your space without spending a fortune. Our local team comes right to your home in Florence County to fix up those ugly, worn-out surfaces fast.
Actually, you do not have to tear out your whole wall just to get rid of ugly stains. This affordable surface restoration process saves you thousands of dollars compared to a messy demolition. You will get a bright, glossy finish that makes your old tub look like it just came from the store.
So why wait around while your bathroom looks like a relic from the past? We offer a completely free on-site estimate to show you exactly how cheap it is to refresh your home. Your family deserves a clean, sparkling place to wash up every single day.
You might be wondering how we turn a dull, scratched-up basin into a shiny masterpiece. Well, it is all about applying high-tech coatings that bond directly to your existing porcelain or fiberglass. Our crew scrubs away years of soap scum and mineral deposits before we even think about spraying our special compound.
After the deep cleaning, we apply a strong bonding agent that acts like superglue for the new topcoat. This ensures your new finish will not peel off when you take a hot shower. Then we spray several layers of a specialized acrylic polymer that cures into a rock-hard shell.
This whole project takes only a few hours of work. Which means you can use your shower again the very next day. You get all the luxury of a brand new fixture without the weeks of dust, noise, and annoying contractors trampling through your bedroom.
| Feature of Our Service | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| No demolition needed | Zero messy dust and no broken tiles to clean up |
| Specialized acrylic bonding agent | A durable finish that resists peeling for years |
| Completed in under five hours | You get your bathroom back in service by tomorrow |

Think about the nightmare of hiring a plumber to rip out your heavy cast iron tub. That process usually ends up breaking the surrounding wall tiles and ruining your floor. Suddenly a simple upgrade turns into a massive construction project that drains your bank account dry.
By choosing our smart restoration service, you keep your original high-quality fixture right where it is. Many older homes in the 29560 zip code area have incredibly sturdy cast iron basins that are built way better than the cheap plastic ones sold today. Keeping your original tub is actually a smarter move for your wallet and the environment.
On top of that, saving money on the tub lets you spend more on cool accessories. You can use those savings for fancy new faucets, pretty light fixtures, or nice fluffy towels. Our affordable solution helps you maximize your home improvement budget without sacrificing the final look.
Now, let us talk about how long this awesome new surface actually lasts. If you treat it right, this beautiful glaze will stay bright and shiny for over a decade. You just need to avoid harsh abrasive cleaners like steel wool or gritty scrubbing powders that scratch the surface.
Instead, you can just wipe it down with a soft sponge and some liquid dish soap. This simple routine keeps the surface slick so dirt and grime cannot stick to it. You will spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees every weekend.

First, we protect the rest of your bathroom by masking off the floors, walls, and vanity with heavy paper and plastic sheets. We also set up a powerful exhaust fan to pull any chemical fumes out through the window. This keeps your indoor air clean and safe while we do our job.
Next, we use a specialized acid paste to etch the old porcelain surface. This microscopic etching is super important because it gives the new coating something textured to grab onto. Without this step, the new finish would just slide right off after a few hot baths.
Finally, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks with a waterproof filler. We sand these spots completely flat so they disappear under the new layers of glaze. The end result is a perfectly smooth surface that feels amazing to touch.

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 Lake City, 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.
