A dull or chipped tub in Long Beach 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.
You can completely transform your dingy bathroom fixtures in just one afternoon. Our professional refinishing services bring your old tub back to life while keeping your wallet happy. Get your free estimate today to see how easy it is to save thousands of dollars on your remodel.
Many homeowners think they need to rip out their entire bathroom when the tub starts looking yellow or scratched. But doing that actually creates a massive headache because you have to hire plumbers and painters to fix the aftermath. Instead of dealing with that chaos, our team comes right to your home and applies a gorgeous new protective coating. This advanced process bonds directly to your existing porcelain or fiberglass to erase years of stains and ugly mineral buildup.
That means you get to keep your sturdy original fixture while enjoying a sparkling clean surface that looks brand new. Plus, you will avoid the weeks of dust and noise that always come with a traditional demolition project. Our specialized method saves you a ton of time and hassle. Which means you can go back to using your beautiful bathroom in just a couple of days.
Since we focus on restoring what you already have, we keep useful materials out of local landfills. That is a huge win for the environment and your conscience. On top of that, the modern coatings we use are incredibly durable and resist chipping. You will love how easy it is to wipe down the smooth non-porous surface during your weekly cleaning routine.
Let us look at how our fast restoration process compares to the traditional route of buying a new tub and hiring contractors.
| Feature | Our Refinishing Service | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Project Duration | Usually under 5 hours | Often 3 to 7 days of messy work |
| Average Cost | Very budget friendly | Extremely expensive with plumbing fees |
| Surface Shine | Brilliant high-gloss finish | Standard factory finish |
| Mess and Dust | Virtually none | Massive amounts of drywall dust |
As you can see from the table, choosing to restore your fixture is the superior option for busy people. This smart decision allows you to allocate your hard-earned money toward other home improvement projects. We pride ourselves on delivering outstanding results that make your friends think you spent a fortune. Our local team understands the unique needs of homes in this beautiful lakeside community.
Whether you live in a classic vintage cottage or a newer home, your bathroom fixtures take a beating over time. The high humidity near the water can cause older cast iron tubs to lose their original luster and develop dark rust spots. Luckily, our specialized preparation process removes every bit of rust and fills in deep scratches before we seal it. This attention to detail ensures a flawless finish that lasts for many years to come.
We love working in LaPorte County because the homes here have so much character and charm. Many properties in this lovely area feature deep, comfortable soaking tubs that are almost impossible to find in stores today. Keeping those original features intact helps maintain the historical integrity of your property. Our custom coatings can match almost any color scheme you desire for your updated space.
If you live in this exclusive enclave of 1,108 residents, you know that quality craftsmanship matters. With a median household income of $103,269, local homeowners appreciate high-value upgrades that protect their investments. We serve the entire community under the local ZIP code 46360 with pride and dedication. You can trust our local technicians to treat your home with the utmost respect and cleanliness.
First, our skilled technicians meticulously clean the entire surface using industrial-strength cleaners to strip away soap scum and old oils. This critical step ensures that the new topcoat adheres perfectly to the original material. If we find any chips or cracks, we patch them with a specialized waterproof compound. After that, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue for our liquid porcelain glaze.
Next, we use precision spray equipment to apply several layers of our high-grade acrylic polyurethane finish. This high-tech sprayer creates an incredibly smooth look that you simply cannot achieve with a brush or roller. Once the coating cures, we buff the surface to a spectacular shine that mimics brand new porcelain. You will be amazed at how this simple process completely changes the vibe of your entire bathroom.
Think about how much money you would spend on a plumber just to disconnect your old drains and overflow pipes. Those labor rates add up fast and can easily break your budget before the new tub even arrives. By choosing our on-site surface restoration, you bypass those costly trade professionals entirely. This lets you enjoy a premium bathroom upgrade without the premium price tag.
Our customers often tell us they cannot believe how much brighter their bathroom feels after we finish. A clean, white tub reflects more light and makes the entire room feel larger and more inviting. This quick cosmetic upgrade is also perfect if you are planning to put your home on the market soon. Potential buyers love seeing clean, updated bathrooms that do not require immediate work.
We believe in being totally transparent with you about what our service can and cannot do. While our premium coatings are incredibly tough, they do require proper care to maintain their beautiful shine. You must avoid abrasive cleaners like steel wool or harsh bleaching powders because they can dull the finish over time. Instead, we recommend gentle liquid soaps and soft microfiber cloths to keep things sparkling.
It is also true that our process cannot fix structural issues like a rotting subfloor beneath your heavy cast iron tub. If your floor is sagging, you will need a carpenter to address those issues before we can work our magic. However, if your tub is structurally sound but just looks tired and stained, our service is the absolute perfect solution. We will always give you an honest assessment of your fixture during your free consultation.
Another thing to consider is that there will be a mild paint-like odor while we apply the new finish. We use powerful exhaust fans to vent these fumes directly outside through the nearest window to keep your air clean. This smell completely dissipates within a few hours after we complete the job and pack up our tools. Most homeowners find this minor inconvenience well worth the incredible savings we provide.
Do not spend another day staring at that ugly, stained tub or embarrassing outdated color scheme. Our friendly local team is ready to visit your home and provide a comprehensive, no-obligation estimate for your project. We will answer all your questions and help you choose the perfect finish for your space. Contact us today to secure your free quote and take the first step toward a beautiful bathroom.
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 Long Beach, 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.
