All over Long County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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You wake up and dread stepping into your outdated bathroom because of that stained, peeling tub.
Fortunately, we can fix this eyesore without a messy renovation.
This simple guide shows how local resurfacing saves your sanity and your wallet.
Maybe you think a sledgehammer is the only way to get a clean basin.
Actually, that old cast iron or fiberglass piece has great bones under those ugly scratches.
Our specialized coating process makes worn surfaces look brand new in just one day.
This budget-friendly magic trick avoids the high cost of a total bathroom remodel.
Which means you keep your hard-earned cash for other fun weekend plans.
We bring the right tools to restore your peace of mind and your bathroom shine.
Think of this service as a high-tech facelift for your heavy old soaking basin.
We do not just paint over the dirt because that would peel off next week.
Instead, our crew chemically bonds a fresh, durable liquid acrylic layer onto your existing structure.
First, we clean the old surface with industrial strength solutions to strip away soap scum.
After that, we repair any deep chips or rust spots with waterproof fillers.
This preparation ensures the new topcoat sticks forever and looks perfectly flat.
Finally, we spray a premium molecular bonding agent followed by several coats of high-gloss acrylic.
Once it cures, you get a gleaming, super-smooth surface that resists future stains.
The final result mimics expensive new porcelain without the giant plumbing bill.
Choosing to restore rather than replace keeps heavy construction trash out of local landfills.
On top of that, you avoid the nightmare of tearing out drywall and matching old tiles.
Most homeowners do not realize that removing an old tub often damages the surrounding walls.
This smart repair method saves you thousands of dollars in labor and materials.
We finish the entire job in a matter of hours instead of several agonizing weeks.
You can actually use your upgraded shower the very next day without any hassle.
This table compares your two main options so you can see the clear winner for your home.
| Factor | Full Replacement | Professional Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very High ($3,000 - $8,000) | Very Low (A fraction of new) |
| Time Required | Up to two weeks of mess | Finished in under five hours |
| Demolition Mess | Plumbing and wall damage | Zero dust and no broken tile |
Naturally, saving money feels great, but saving your precious time is even better.
Because we work quickly, your daily routine suffers almost no interruption at all.
Our local family business loves helping neighbors get beautiful homes for less.
Many older houses in our Georgia community have sturdy cast iron tubs that are worth saving.
Whether you live near the local historic spots or closer to the quiet country roads, we travel right to your door.
We understand the specific challenges of local well water minerals that stain your fixtures over time.
If you live in the 31316 area or nearby parts of Long County, you know how humid our summers get.
This heavy moisture can cause cheap DIY paint kits to bubble and fail within months.
Our commercial-grade materials cure properly even in our warm southern climate.
With a local population of over 16,000 residents, keeping home values high is important to everyone.
The median household income here sits around $61,000, which makes smart, cost-effective home improvements very popular.
Investing in your existing bathroom fixtures boosts your home equity without draining your savings account.
First, we protect your bathroom floor and vanity with heavy drop cloths.
Then, we set up a powerful exhaust fan to vent any fumes safely out of the nearest window.
This step keeps your indoor air clean while we apply the bonding agents.
Next, we carefully mask off all your fixtures and surrounding wall tiles with special tape.
This meticulous setup guarantees that the new finish only lands where it belongs.
We take our time during this prep phase because details make the difference.
After applying the primer, we spray several thin layers of our premium synthetic porcelain.
This technique prevents runs and drips, giving you a factory-smooth finish that feels amazing.
After a brief drying period, we remove our tape and leave your bathroom cleaner than we found it.
Some people think that a resurfaced basin looks cheap or feels like plastic.
In reality, our high-quality materials look identical to brand new fireclay or glazed ceramic.
Your guests will never guess that your beautiful tub is actually decades old.
Another myth is that the new finish will wear off after a few scrubby cleanings.
As long as you avoid harsh abrasive powders, this new surface will shine bright for over a decade.
We even give you easy care instructions to ensure your investment stays beautiful.
Lastly, folks worry that the chemical smell will linger in their house for days.
We use advanced ventilation systems that pull the air outside during the entire process.
Any remaining mild scent fades away completely within a few short hours after we pack up.
Cleaning your restored surface is actually much easier than scrubbing old, porous porcelain.
Because the new non-porous layer resists dirt, a quick wipe with a mild dish soap does the trick.
You can say goodbye to those painful hours spent scrubbing on your hands and knees.
Avoid using bleach or scratchy green scrub pads on your newly coated fixture.
These harsh tools can dull the shiny topcoat over time and ruin the gloss.
Stick to soft sponges and gentle spray cleaners to keep that wet-look shine alive.
Also, remember to fix any dripping faucets in your shower as soon as possible.
Constant water dripping in one spot can eventually wear down even the toughest industrial coatings.
Taking care of small leaks protects your beautiful bathroom and saves water too.

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, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
