A dull or chipped tub in Landmark 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.
Are you completely sick of staring at that ugly, chipped, faded wash basin in your home right now? Fortunately, getting a shiny new look for your home wash space does not mean throwing your hard-earned money away on a total demolition project. By refreshing your current heavy tub surface instead, you get a beautiful space to relax while keeping tons of cash right in your pocket!
Living in central Arkansas means dealing with some serious humidity and unique local water traits throughout the year. Honestly, those mineral deposits in our local water supply slowly destroy the original shiny finish on your wash unit over time. Because of this continuous daily wear, your once-pretty basin ends up looking super dull, yellowed, and impossible to scrub clean no matter what harsh chemicals you throw at it.
Actually, scrubing hard with store cleansers just makes the problem way worse by scratching up the top layer. Furthermore, those tiny micro-scratches trap dirty soap scum like a sponge. Pretty soon, your entire wash station looks totally ruined even when it is actually completely sanitized.
Luckily, you do not have to live with that depressing, stained setup for another single day. Calling a local team to apply a fresh synthetic coating instantly fixes all those awful eyesores without any massive mess.
Now, you might wonder how a team can fix up a tub without pulling it out through your narrow hallway. Well, the whole job relies on clever chemical bonding and specially formulated high-tech liquid acrylics. First off, a pro cleans the deep layers using heavy industrial detergents to strip away every bit of grease and old lime scale.
Next up, technicians repair any ugly chips or dangerous rusty spots with quick-curing structural fillers. After everything gets sanded down totally flat, a chemical bonding agent goes on top to make sure the new topcoat sticks like glue forever.
Finally, multiple liquid layers get sprayed across the whole fixture using specialized high-volume spray guns. Therefore, you get an ultra-smooth finish that completely cures into a hard shell within just twenty-four short hours.
Replacing a built-in wash basin sounds simple enough until you actually see the absolute crazy prices on paper. Besides buying a brand new basin, you have to pay plumbers, drywall fixers, tile contractors, and haul-away crews to dump the old heavy cast iron fixture.
On top of those crazy expenses, a full remodel completely wrecks your daily routine for almost two full weeks. Contrarily, refinishing your wash unit takes less than six short hours from start to finish.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time To Complete | Mess Factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Wash Basin Replacement | $3,500 - $8,000 | 7 to 14 Days | Extremely High (Dust & Debris) |
| Professional Surface Refinishing | $350 - $650 | 4 to 6 Hours | Minimal (Fully Contained) |
Clearly, choosing a localized liquid overlay saving method lets you keep your home budget totally happy. Plus, you get to spend those saved thousands on fun weekend trips or important family needs instead!
Houses around our quiet community of 3,279 hardworking folks feature a vast mix of cool older homes and nice newer builds. With a local median household income sitting around $47,756, spending giant sums on simple bathroom upgrades just does not make financial sense for most families.
Whether your house sits inside the main 72206 zone or just down the road, keeping repair costs low while boosting home value is always a huge victory. Additionally, older local houses often feature super heavy vintage cast iron units that are structurally way better than cheap modern plastic alternatives sold at big box retail stores today.
Saving those classic original fixtures protects the real character of your house while providing superior durability. Naturally, a quick glaze coat makes those sturdy vintage units look completely modern again!
Maybe you saw those cheap rolled-on refinishing kits sitting on a shelf at the neighborhood hardware store last weekend. To be completely honest with you, those rolled DIY bucket kits almost always turn into absolute complete nightmares after just a few short months.
Usually, store-bought paint brush mixtures start peeling off in massive ugly sheets the very first time you fill up a hot bath. Because regular people lack proper ventilation tools, etching acids, and professional high-pressure spray gear, the paint simply cannot bond to smooth porcelain surfaces properly.
Instead of wasting your precious weekend making a massive sticky mess, bringing in a real crew guarantees a long-lasting porcelain-like gloss finish. Additionally, professionals carry specialized equipment that safely vents harsh chemical fumes right out your window during the application process.
Choosing to revive your existing wash basin offers a ton of fantastic perks for busy families looking for convenient solutions.
Consequently, getting your worn basin coated provides the ultimate mix of convenience, luxury, and unmatched monetary value.
Once your wash basin looks totally incredible again, taking care of that sleek finish requires just a few tiny changes to your normal cleaning routine. First off, throw away those harsh abrasive scouring powders and stiff metal scrub brushes for good.
Instead, wash the sleek acrylic surface using soft microfiber cloths combined with simple liquid dish soaps or gentle spray cleaners. Furthermore, check your water spouts to make sure you do not have constant dripping faucets, as endless water drops can wear down any coating over many years.
Also, avoid laying down heavy rubber suction-cup bath mats directly on your brand new shiny finish. Because moisture gets trapped underneath those tiny rubber cups, it can slowly weaken the structural bond over time... so go for a free-standing bath rug instead!
Perhaps you are still wondering if your current fixture really needs a complete surface restoration right this moment. Well, if you see ugly rusty patches forming around the drain ring, that means water is actively attacking the underlying metal right now.
Likewise, if the bottom floor of your basin feels rough like sandpaper against your feet, the factory glaze layer is totally gone. Whenever that original protective glaze wears off, dangerous bacteria and mildew can easily hide inside the bare porous material underneath.
Addressing these minor wear issues early prevents costly structural leaks that could damage your floor joists underneath the bathroom. Therefore, acting fast protects your home investment while restoring your absolute peace of mind!
Imagine having your close relatives or in-laws coming over for the holidays and showing them a brilliant, spotlessly shining wash station. Suddenly, you feel super proud of your home instead of secretly feeling embarrassed by ugly rust stains and dingy discolored rings.
Indeed, a simple gloss renewal transforms the whole mood of your entire house without forcing you to deal with dusty construction workers for weeks on end. Plus, the smooth acrylic layer feels wonderfully soft against your skin, making every single bath feel like a high-end spa day!

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 Landmark, 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.

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.
