A dull or chipped tub in Lebanon 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.
Looking to fix up your old worn out washing basin without spending thousands? You came to the right spot for fast local help! Grab a free estimate today and save your hard earned cash.
Actually, throwing away an old iron or fiberglass basin creates a massive headache. You have to rip out tiles, mess up the plumbing, and spend weeks with a trashy bathroom. Naturally, refinishing the existing surface takes just one afternoon and costs way less money.
Plus, older homes in Laclede County often have super sturdy original fixtures. These classic tubs were built like brick houses compared to modern cheap plastic ones. So, restoring the original heavy duty finish keeps that tough core while making it look totally brand new again.
Besides that, nobody wants to spend tens of thousands on a full remodel. Given that the median household income around these parts is $37,896, keeping money in your pocket just makes sense. Therefore, getting a fresh sprayed coating gives you high end luxury without the painful price tag.
First off, we scrub the old surface using specialized industrial acid cleaners. This step strips away decades of nasty soap scum, lime scale, and old oil residues. Frankly, if you skip this step, the fresh chemical layer will just peel off in a few months...
Next, we fill in every single annoying crack, chip, and rust spot. Using heavy duty epoxy fillers, we smooth out the bottom so it feels slick under your feet again. As a result, you get a completely flat surface that looks like it just came off the factory floor.
Then, our crew sprays a high tech silane bonding agent over the whole fixture. This liquid cross-links the old porcelain with the incoming topcoat at a molecular level. After that, we apply multiple layers of premium synthetic polymer resin using professional airless sprayers.
Finally, the new high-gloss shell cures into a non-porous shield. This fresh armor resists hot water, harsh soaps, and daily scrubbing for years to come. Consequently, you get a bright shiny bathroom fixture that instantly brightens up your whole home interior.
To help you see the wild difference in pricing, we put together this quick breakdown. Take a look at how much cash you actually save when choosing local repair over total demolition.
| Service Type | Average Project Cost | Time to Complete | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Fixture Tear-Out | $3,500 - $8,000 | 3 to 7 Days | Extremely High |
| Plastic Acrylic Liner | $2,500 - $5,000 | 1 to 2 Days | Moderate |
| Professional Chemical Spraying | $350 - $650 | 4 to 6 Hours | Virtually Zero |
Obviously, the numbers do not lie when you lay them out side by side. Spending thousands extra on demolition simply does not make financial sense for smart homeowners. Hence, choosing chemical resurfacing lets you spend your savings on other home upgrades.
So, our crew covers every neighborhood across the local 65536 area code. Whether you live near the high school, out by the park, or off the main highway, we drive right to your door. In fact, our service trucks carry everything needed to complete the whole job in a single visit.
Also, serving a community of 14,637 awesome folks means our reputation is everything to us. We treat your home with total respect, laying down drop cloths and setting up heavy duty exhaust fans. Because of this, no foul chemical fumes or overspray will ever mess up your living room.
In addition, working with local folks means you get honest down-home communication. We never slap on hidden fees or surprise charges after the job is finished. Plainly put, the price we quote you on your free estimate is the exact price you pay.
Honestly, the best part is walking into your bright sparkly bathroom the very next morning. The shiny new coat reflects light so well that your whole small bathroom looks way larger. Furthermore, the non-porous finish stops gross black mold and mildew from hiding in tiny microscopic pores.
Meanwhile, cleaning your soaking vessel becomes a total breeze instead of a backbreaking chore. You just wipe it down with a soft sponge and gentle liquid dish soap. No more scrubbing until your arms ache with harsh abrasive bleach powders!
Surprisingly, this topcoat also feels smooth and silky warm to the touch. Older cast iron pulls heat right out of your bathwater fast, leaving you sitting in chilling water. On the flip side, our thick acrylic polymer layer helps trap heat so your long hot bubble baths stay warm way longer.
For starters, rusty drain areas are a huge pain for many local homeowners. Moisture seeps under the old worn enamel, rusting out the raw metal underneath and leaving ugly orange rings. Luckily, we grind away that old rust completely and rebuild the damaged areas before spraying.
Another common headache is that horrible faded pink, dull green, or harvest gold color from thirty years ago. While those colors were popular back then, today they just make your house look old and dated. Thankfully, our brilliant bright white finish instantly updates your whole space to modern standards.
Even worse, deep spiderweb cracks in fiberglass bottom surfaces can leak water straight into your floorboards. If you ignore those tiny fractures, rot destroys your subfloor real quick. Thankfully, we lay down heavy structural mesh and high-density resin to make the base rock solid once again.
Sure, you might see those little box kits at the big box store for fifty bucks. But honestly, those cheap brush-on epoxy paints are a huge trap for unsuspecting homeowners! They use weak chemicals that lack true bonding agents, so the paint bakes off in sheets after just a few hot showers...
On top of that, brushing resin leaves nasty streak marks and uneven brush strokes all over your tub. It looks tacky, feels rough on your skin, and traps dirt like a magnet. Eventually, you end up paying a real professional even more money to strip off that failed DIY mess.
Instead, our team uses commercial grade rotary spray machines along with dangerous professional resins you cannot buy in stores. We wear full air-supplied respirators to apply ultra-thin uniform layers. Thus, you get a glass-smooth factory coat that lasts for over a decade.
Once our crew finishes up and removes the masking tape, taking care of your new coat is super simple. Just wait twenty-four full hours before turning on the tap so the liquid layers lock up rock hard. After that short drying window, you are totally free to enjoy a long relaxing bath.
Remember to throw away those old harsh abrasive scouring powders and stiff scratchy brushes forever. Instead, grab a simple soft microfiber cloth and mild shower cleaner. By avoiding harsh acids, your glossy finish stays sparkling like new for fifteen years or more.
Likewise, avoid using bath mats with hard suction cups underneath them! Those little rubber cups trap standing water underneath and pull on the resin finish when yanked off. Instead, just ask us about our custom slip-resistant textured bottom options that we can spray right into the glaze.
Now, stop staring at that tired, scratched up, discolored old washing vessel every single morning! You deserve a clean, sparkling, beautiful bathroom that makes you feel happy when you step inside. Best of all, upgrading your space does not have to break your family bank account.
So, give us a quick shout to request your zero obligation free estimate right now! Our friendly local techs will swing by, inspect your fixture, and lay out all your best options clearly. Let us save you thousands of dollars while transforming your home today!
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 Lebanon, 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.
