A dull or chipped tub in Lake Wales 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 look at your scratched tub with sadness every morning? Fortunately, our local team brings back that gorgeous shine without making a huge mess. This means you avoid weeks of demolition dust in your cozy home.
Most folks in Polk County live with outdated surfaces longer than they should. Yet replacing them costs an arm and a leg while taking forever to finish. Which brings us to a much smarter alternative for fixing your bathroom issues.
Are you tired of staring at stubborn stains that just will not wash away? Maybe your porcelain has chips that scratch your skin during a relaxing soak. Luckily, our local technicians restore your fixture right on site within just one day.
This process saves you thousands of dollars compared to a complete bathroom gut job. Plus, you get a smooth finish that makes cleaning your basin an absolute breeze. That way, you enjoy a fresh space without dealing with contractor nightmares.
Have you ever wondered how experts make an ugly tub look brand new again? First, we thoroughly clean the surface to strip away soap scum and body oils. This lets the bonding agent stick properly to your old acrylic or cast iron.
Next, we repair any nasty chips or deep cracks using industrial strength fillers. This ensures your basin feels solid and looks totally uniform before the final coating stage. After that, we spray multiple layers of high performance aliphatic urethane.
Plumbing tear-outs destroy your floors, walls, and sanity for weeks on end. Worse yet, permits in zip code 33853 add unnecessary delays to your simple remodeling goals. By contrast, our surface renewal service finishes up before dinner time.
Think about the heavy debris trucks blocking your driveway during a messy remodel. Fortunately, our crew leaves your property spotless while your family rests easy. That guarantees a stress-free experience from start to finish.
With a median household income of around forty three thousand dollars, keeping renovation costs low matters. Replacing a standard fixture easily drains five to ten thousand dollars from your savings. Meanwhile, our specialized coating service costs a tiny fraction of that amount.
This leaves plenty of cash in your wallet for other important household improvements. On top of that, your property value gets an instant boost for a very small investment. Which means you win big on both fronts.
Do you want to know what happens when our crew arrives at your house? First, we set up industrial ventilation fans to clear out any strong fumes. This keeps your indoor air safe while we work diligently on your fixture.
Then, we mask off your surrounding tile and floors with heavy plastic sheeting. Such meticulous prep work prevents any accidental overspray from hitting your favorite vanity. That gives you total peace of mind throughout the entire procedure.
Following that phase, we apply a powerful acid etch to open up the pores. This vital step guarantees that our primer forms an unbreakable chemical bond with the substrate. As a result, your new glossy finish will not peel or flake off.
| Project Type | Average Time | Cost Factor |
|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | One to Three Weeks | Extremely High |
| Surface Renewal | Four to Six Hours | Very Affordable |
Now that your fixture gleams like a brand new diamond, proper care keeps it stunning. Always use gentle liquid cleaners instead of harsh abrasive powders that scratch plastic coatings. This simple habit preserves that gorgeous gloss for many years to come.
Avoid letting heavy metal bottles sit in standing water along the bottom edge. Instead, put up a handy shower caddy to keep your soap and shampoo off the surface. That prevents moisture rings from forming under your favorite bath products.
Do you love soaking with colorful bath bombs or scented oils? Fortunately, our tough urethane formulas resist chemical staining much better than old worn enamel. Nevertheless, rinsing the basin thoroughly after every bath remains a very smart practice.
Our friendly crew travels all across this charming municipality to help local residents love their homes. Whether you live near the historic downtown district or out by the quiet lakes, we show up on time. That reliability makes us the top choice for surface upgrades in zip code 33859.
Homes built decades ago often feature gorgeous pastel tubs that desperately need a modern white update. Instead of ripping out those sturdy vintage pieces, we simply update their color right where they sit. This preserves the solid craftsmanship of older buildings without the headache.
Property managers across zip code 33898 also rely on our quick turnover times between tenants. When a rental unit needs a fast cosmetic upgrade, our team steps in immediately. That eliminates costly vacancy periods for landlords trying to maximize their rental income.
Working with nearby service providers means you get personalized attention that big national chains cannot match. If you ever have a question about your warranty, a real neighbor answers your call. That kind of accountability builds lasting trust within our community of fifteen thousand residents.
Furthermore, supporting local trades keeps money circulating right here in Polk County where we all live. Your investment helps hardworking families put food on the table while improving neighborhood aesthetics. That is a wonderful win for everyone involved in the process.
Are you finally ready to ditch that stained and outdated washing basin for good? Stop hiding your ugly tub behind a dusty shower curtain and show it off with pride. Reach out today and let us give you a completely free estimate for the job.
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 Wales, 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
