A dull or chipped tub in Maben 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.
Maybe you are looking at that stained tub right now and thinking about a sledgehammer. Before you go throwing money away on a messy renovation, you should know that there is a much easier way to get a shiny clean surface. Our local team comes right to your home to spray a durable new coating that makes your old fixture look brand new again.
Actually, we can save you thousands of dollars compared to a full replacement. This budget friendly option is perfect for homeowners who want a fresh look without the headache of dusty construction. You get to keep your solid old cast iron or steel piece while enjoying a bright, modern finish that lasts for years.
Naturally, we want to make this process as simple as possible for you. You can grab a completely free estimate today to see exactly how affordable this smart update is. Let us show you how we bring dull surfaces back to life with zero hassle.
Essentially, this specialized process involves applying a high tech liquid acrylic coating over your existing porcelain or fiberglass. Our crew starts by deep cleaning the old surface with industrial prep agents to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This step is absolutely critical because the new finish needs a perfectly clean slate to bond with.
After that, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks with waterproof polyester fillers. Then we spray on a proprietary bonding agent that chemically welds the new topcoat to the old material. Finally, we apply several layers of a premium acrylic urethane gloss using professional spray equipment.
Consequently, your fixture gets a rock hard finish that looks identical to brand new factory porcelain. This means you do not have to worry about weeks of plumbing work or broken tiles. It is a fast, clean, and highly effective upgrade that takes less than a single day to complete.

| Time to Complete | Under 24 Hours | One to Two Weeks | Several Days for Custom Fit |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal with Proper Ventilation | Severe Demolition Dust | Low During Installation |
| Lifespan | 10 to 15 Years with Care | Decades but High Initial Investment | 5 to 8 Years Before Water Traps |
Clearly, saving money is the biggest reason people search for this handy service. If you live in Oktibbeha County, you know that keeping home maintenance costs down is super important for staying on budget. Our specialized service gives you a gorgeous, sparkling bathroom while keeping your hard earned cash in your wallet.
Besides the financial savings, you also save an incredible amount of time. A typical bathroom demolition can leave you without a working shower for weeks on end. With our quick bonding technique, you can usually start using your beautiful shiny shower again in just twenty four hours.
On top of that, older homes often have heavy cast iron tubs that are built like tanks. These classic fixtures hold heat much better than modern, cheap plastic replacements. Resurfacing allows you to preserve that vintage quality while completely eliminating the ugly stains and scratches.
First, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to block any overspray. We also set up a heavy duty exhaust fan in the window to pull all the fumes and dust out of your house. This keeps your indoor air clean and ensures your family stays comfortable while we work.
Next, we use a specialized acid paste to etch the old porcelain so the new coating can grab hold. If your fixture is fiberglass, we use a different chemical prep to avoid melting the delicate structure. We never skip these prep steps because proper adhesion is the secret to a long lasting gloss.
Ultimately, we spray the topcoat in thin, even layers to prevent runs and sags in the finish. Once the material cures, we remove all the masking tape and apply fresh silicone caulk along the edges. The result is a seamless, watertight seal that makes your whole bathroom feel incredibly fresh and clean.
To keep your glossy surface looking bright, you must avoid harsh abrasive cleaners like bleach or scrubbing powders. These rough chemicals will dull the shiny acrylic topcoat over time and make it harder to clean. Instead, you should use mild dish soap or non abrasive foam sprays with a soft sponge.
Additionally, you should never leave wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting on the rim. Standing water trapped under bottles can weaken the bond of the new coating over several years. A simple wipe down with a dry towel after your shower will keep the gloss looking brand new.
Fortunately, caring for your restored tub is actually much easier than scrubbing old, porous porcelain. The non porous acrylic barrier resists mold, mildew, and stubborn soap scum naturally. This means you spend way less time on your knees scrubbing the bathroom on weekends.
Since every bathroom has its own unique quirks, we like to take a personal look at your project. We travel all around the local area, including the cozy community of Maben, Mississippi, to inspect fixtures in person. This small town of about 687 residents, located in the 39750 ZIP code area, deserves top tier home services.
During our visit, we can check for hidden water damage or soft spots in your subfloor before we start. This honest approach ensures there are no scary surprises on your final invoice. With a median household income of $21,806 in the region, we know how vital it is to get real value for every dollar spent.
So, why keep living with an ugly, stained washbasin that embarrasses you when guests visit? You can easily book a free, no obligation quote with our friendly local team right now. Let us handle the hard work and give you a beautiful, sparkling bathroom you can finally be proud of!
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 Maben, 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.
