A dull or chipped tub in Lincoln 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.
Your old bathroom centerpiece probably looks pretty rough after years of daily scrubbings and hot showers.

This budget-friendly alternative restores that original brilliant shine in just a single afternoon.
Naturally, you want your home to look its absolute best without draining your hard-earned savings account.
Our skilled local team specializes in giving worn-out wash basins a gorgeous, durable new surface that looks brand new.
By requesting your free estimate today, you can easily take the first step toward a sparkling bathroom transformation.
Think about how nice it will feel to step into a gleaming, smooth basin that feels fresh and pristine.
This specialized coating process completely seals up ugly stains, dark chips, and those annoying little scratches that collect dirt.
You will save a massive amount of cash while skipping the loud, dusty chaos of a traditional remodel.
Many folks confuse this high-tech spray application with those cheap DIY plastic liners you buy at big-box retail stores.
Honestly, those plastic covers often trap dirty water underneath, which quickly creates a hidden nightmare of smelly mold and mildew.
Our professional method relies on industrial-strength bonding agents that fuse directly to your existing cast iron or fiberglass.
First, we meticulously clean the old surface using specialized acid-free cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and oils.
After that critical step, we repair any deep gouges or cracks with a heavy-duty waterproof filler.
This careful preparation ensures the new glossy topcoat sticks perfectly and lasts for many years to come.
Once the prep work is complete, we spray multiple layers of a sophisticated acrylic urethane coating using professional ventilation equipment.
This creates a non-porous barrier that resists yellowing and stands up to daily wear and tear.
You get a gorgeous, high-gloss finish that looks identical to expensive brand-new porcelain.
To help you compare your options, here is how our local surface restoration service stacks up against a full replacement:
| Factor | Professional Refinishing | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, highly budget-friendly | Extremely expensive due to labor and plumbing |
| Time to Complete | Usually finished in 4 to 6 hours | Can take several days or even weeks |
| Mess & Dust | Virtually none, fully contained work area | Major drywall dust, broken tiles, and debris |
| Durability | Lasts 10 to 15 years with proper care | Long-lasting but requires structural changes |
Living in our charming community of Talladega County means appreciating both history and smart, practical home investments.
With a local median household income of around $66,997, spending five grand on a basic plumbing job just does not make financial sense.
Choosing to restore your current fixture lets you keep your hard-earned money for other important family priorities.
Our friendly technicians regularly visit neighborhoods across the 35096 ZIP code to help folks upgrade their spaces.
We understand the specific hard water challenges in this beautiful portion of Alabama, which can leave stubborn orange iron stains on your porcelain.
Our high-performance coatings are specifically designed to resist these tough mineral deposits so cleaning becomes an absolute breeze.
Plus, keeping original cast iron fixtures is actually a wonderful way to preserve the character of older homes.
Newer plastic tubs often feel flimsy, cheap, and bend slightly when you stand in them.
By renewing your solid, heavy original basin, you retain that sturdy quality while enjoying a clean, modern aesthetic.
To start, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom using protective plastic sheeting and professional painter's tape.
This step protects your vanity, toilet, flooring, and walls from any accidental overspray or dust.
We also install a powerful exhaust fan in the window to safely pull any paint odors directly out of your home.
Next, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding agent that acts like a super-strong chemical anchor.
This critical step is where amateur DIY kits always fail, as they lack the chemical strength to bite into old porcelain.
We take our time during this phase because a perfect bond is the true secret to preventing future peeling.
Finally, we spray the beautiful topcoat in several thin, even layers using a high-volume, low-pressure system.
This advanced technique prevents runs and drips, resulting in a mirror-like sheen that feels incredibly smooth to the touch.
After a brief curing period of just twenty-four hours, your beautiful wash basin is completely ready for a relaxing soak.
To ensure your gorgeous new finish stays bright and shiny, you must avoid abrasive scrubbing powders and harsh bleach.
Instead, we highly recommend using mild dish soap or gentle liquid cleaners along with a soft microfiber cloth.
This simple routine easily keeps the surface looking brand new without scratching the protective topcoat over time.
Also, it is wise to avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy metal cans directly on the ledges.
Using a simple hanging shower caddy prevents standing water from sitting on the new finish for prolonged periods.
These basic habits will easily extend the lifespan of your beautiful gloss finish for up to fifteen years.
Perhaps you are worried about the potential cost or whether your specific tub is a good candidate for this process.
We completely understand that concern, which is why we offer a 100% free, no-obligation assessment of your bathroom fixture.
Our local technician will visit your home, examine the current condition of your basin, and explain every option clearly.
Imagine finally getting rid of that ugly, outdated pink or green color without having to remodel your entire home.
Our professional restoration service delivers a bright, clean look that instantly elevates the value of your entire property.
You will love showing off your sparkling clean bathroom to visiting friends, family, and neighbors alike.
Do not spend another day staring at a dingy, stained, or chipped washing basin when a affordable solution is just a call away.
Contact us today to request your free estimate and let our friendly local team bring back the shine.
We look forward to helping you fall in love with your bathroom all over again!
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 Lincoln, 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.
