A dull or chipped tub in Lauderhill 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.
Transforming worn bathroom fixtures saves money fast while dramatically improving your home look. Honestly, getting a fresh surface on your old dipping tub will bring back that shiny cozy feel without destroying your budget today!
Maybe you walked into your rest room this morning and cringed at those ugly stains. Look, dirty looking porcelain that refuses to get clean no matter how hard you scrub with harsh bleach is super frustrating... Trust me, I have been there holding a scrub brush until my arm nearly fell off! Dropping big cash on a full bathroom remodel sounds scary when you check your bank account balance.
Actually, torn out plumbing work creates a massive dusty mess all over your house for weeks. Furthermore, hiring tile demolition workers costs thousands of hard earned dollars that you probably want to save for better things like a fun family beach day. Refinishing the existing slick surface completely dodges that massive construction headache while giving you a bright white finish that looks brand new.
Surprisingly, those heavy old cast iron basins hold heat way better than cheap modern plastic tubs sold at big box stores. Therefore, pouring a fresh thick liquid coating over your original heavy unit lets you keep that superior solid quality. Plus, you get it done in just a single afternoon!
First off, the entire job relies on careful prep work or the new skin will peel right off. To start, a technician cleans away soap scum, oil grease and deep mineral deposits using heavy duty acid wash formulas. Next, any deep chips or cracks get filled tightly with industrial resin compound that cures rock hard within minutes.
Afterwards, a special chemical bonding agent gets applied over the entire smooth area. Consequently, this step acts like super glue between the original surface material and your glossy top coat layers. Then, using high pressure professional spray gear, we lay down multiple thin coats of top tier acrylic urethane glaze for optimal durability.
Finally, the compound cures quickly into a tough non porous shield that guards against water penetration. As a result, you can jump back into taking nice warm relaxing baths in about twenty four hours flat!
Now, let us examine how keeping your current soaking basin compares to complete replacement options. Check out this quick table to see why smart homeowners pick top coat resurfacing over total tear outs everyday.
| Update Method | Average Cost Range | Project Time | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resurfacing original unit | Low and affordable | 4 to 6 hours | Zero dust demo |
| Full tub replacement | Extremely high | 3 to 7 days | Massive construction mess |
| Acrylic plastic overlay inserts | Moderate to high | 1 to 2 days | Medium risk of hidden mold |
Naturally, looking at those clear numbers makes the smartest path pretty obvious for any budget conscious house owner. Besides that, plastic tub liners often trap dangerous hidden moisture underneath, which creates gross dark mold spores over time. Meanwhile, professional spray coating seals everything tight so water never slips behind the shell.
Interestingly, working on homes in local neighborhoods requires special attention to humidity factors. For instance, in our warm regional climate where high humidity hangs around constantly, improper application traps tiny air bubbles under the paint. Fortunately, local pros know how to manage ventilation fans and heat lamps to guarantee a flawless glass smooth seal every single time.
Actually, located right inside bustling Broward County with a vibrant local population of about 71,328 residents, houses here feature various classic building styles. With a local median household income around $40,737, making smart home improvements that deliver massive visual impact without breaking the bank is super important to every family. Whether your home rests in ZIP codes like 33311, 33313, 33319 or 33351, keeping your property values high matters a lot.
Moreover, older homes near sunny coastal zones often suffer from rusty spots caused by salty sea air blowing through windows. Luckily, specialized rust converting primers stop that dark metal corrosion right in its tracks before spraying the bright final glaze!
Granted, taking care of your newly recoated wash basin requires just a few tiny changes to your cleaning routine. Specifically, throw away those harsh abrasive scouring powders or stiff wire pads immediately! Instead, simple liquid dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth will easily wipe away soap scum without scratching that fresh high glass luster.
Additionally, stay away from bleach filled chemicals or suction cup bath mats that can pull on the protective coating layer. On top of that, fixing leaky faucets right away prevents continuous dripping water from wearing down the smooth finish over long years. Follow these basic guidelines and your restored unit will look fantastic for a whole decade!
Mind you, accidental damage like dropping a heavy metal wrench can still chip the glaze if you drop something hard. But guess what? A trained worker can quickly patch up minor isolated chips without having to respray the entire basin area again!
Honestly, those cheap store bought home paint kits look tempting when you browse retail aisles on weekends. However, those retail paint cans hold weak epoxy formulas that start yellowing and peeling within just a few brief months! Even worse, standard paint brushes leave ugly streak marks and trapped hair all over your bottom basin surface...
Instead, commercial operators bring heavy duty exhaust fans to pull dangerous chemical fumes outside your house safely. Furthermore, full respirator gear protects workers while high grade spray guns deliver that perfectly smooth mirror finish you see in fancy hotel rooms. Spending a little to get absolute master quality avoids expensive fix it jobs later on!
Besides, dealing with toxic fumes yourself without heavy pro equipment can make your entire house smell like severe chemicals for days. Let skilled hands take care of the hard labor while you relax!

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 Lauderhill, 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.
