A dull or chipped tub in Laurel Hill 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 bathing basin and sigh with pure despair? Thankfully, bringing back that original shine is totally possible without spending a fortune.
Now, replacing a porcelain basin is expensive and incredibly messy. This means you save plenty of cash by choosing our local restoration service.
Tearing out old cast iron fixtures creates a massive hole in your floor. Instead, spraying a fresh polyurethane coating directly over the existing shell fixes chips instantly.
Consequently, you avoid weeks of construction dust floating through your hallways. Which lets you enjoy a gorgeous bathroom much faster.
Our crew arrives at your Okaloosa County home with specialized acid etching solutions. This liquid creates tiny pores in the old glaze so the new bonding agent sticks tight.
Afterwards, we spray multiple layers of high grade acrylic polyurethane across the entire surface. This gives you a durable finish that resists daily wear and tear.
Living in ZIP codes 32567 means dealing with hard water mineral deposits. Over time, these stubborn stains ruin the smooth feel of your daily soaking spot.
By targeting homes where the median household income hovers around $37,019, keeping remodeling costs low makes total sense. Therefore, hiring a budget friendly contractor helps you maintain household finances.
Rust rings and stubborn soap scum embed themselves deep into aged acrylic. Scrubbing these blemishes often strips away the protective layer entirely.
Fortunately, our chemical prep work strips away years of grime safely. This guarantees a pristine base for the brand new sprayed topcoat.
Sticking with classic white brightens up small bathrooms instantly. Alternatively, modern biscuit or almond shades add a warm tone to your decor.
This customization option lets you match existing tile work without remodeling from scratch. Which means your entire room feels cohesive and refreshed.
First, we ventilate the bathroom properly to clear out fumes safely. Then, we mask off surrounding walls and fixtures to prevent any stray overspray.
Next, we repair any deep gouges using a heavy duty waterproof filler. This ensures the final surface feels completely smooth under your feet.
| Step | Action Taken | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Cleaning and etching the old surface | One hour |
| Repair | Filling chips and cracks | Forty five minutes |
| Coating | Applying industrial bonding agents | Two hours |
Allowing the fresh polymers to cure properly prevents premature peeling. Generally, you should wait at least twenty four hours before running water.
Following this simple rule protects your investment for many years ahead. On top of that, using gentle cleaners keeps the glossy shine intact.
Abrasive scouring powders destroy the smooth topcoat very quickly. Instead, switch to mild dish soap and a soft sponge for weekly maintenance.
This tiny habit drastically extends the lifespan of your newly coated wash basin. Which lets you avoid frequent touch ups down the road.
Full scale bathroom renovations often cost thousands of dollars in labor alone. Opting for a professional spray treatment slashes those expenses by up to seventy percent.
Consequently, you keep your hard earned money in your bank account. That leaves room for other important household projects.
Potential buyers notice stained or cracked bathroom fixtures immediately. Fixing these eyesores makes your house much more attractive on the market.
Furthermore, an updated bathing area increases overall home value significantly. This smart upgrade pays off big time if you decide to sell.
Throwing away heavy cast iron units adds massive amounts of waste to landfills. Refinishing the existing structure keeps old materials out of local dumpsters.
Therefore, choosing this green alternative helps protect our precious Florida environment. This lets you feel good about reducing your household carbon footprint.
Many folks worry that the new coating will peel off easily. Modern bonding agents create a permanent molecular link with the underlying material.
Besides that, poor DIY kits cause most peeling issues rather than professional applications. Hiring trained technicians ensures the job gets done right the first time.
A professionally sprayed topcoat lasts for well over ten years with proper care. That matches the lifespan of many newly manufactured acrylic tubs.
Additionally, factory finishes chip just as easily if dropped objects hit them. This proves that professional restoration holds up wonderfully against daily use.
People often ask about the strong chemical smells associated with polyurethane paints. We use high powered exhaust fans to vent fumes right out the window.
This keeps your living space fresh and breathable while we work. Which means you can stay home comfortably during the entire process.

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 Laurel Hill, 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.
