All over Martin 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.
Your old tub probably looks like it survived a war. Every morning you stare at those ugly stains and wonder how things got so bad. Surface restoration offers a brilliant way out of this messy nightmare without costing you a fortune.
Actually you do not have to rip out your entire plumbing setup just to get a clean place to bathe. Our local crew specializes in reviving worn-out fixtures right where they sit. This smart process saves you heaps of cash and prevents giant piles of construction waste from filling up local landfills.
Getting a fresh start is incredibly easy when you let experienced hands handle the hard work. We come right to your home to evaluate the situation and give you a detailed free quote. You will quickly see how simple it is to transform your bathroom from a depressing cave into a bright sanctuary.
Maybe you are wondering how we actually pull off this wizardry. First we strip away the old failing layers and clean the underlying material down to its very pores. This crucial step ensures the new materials grip onto the surface with absolute strength.
Next we repair any deep gouges or nasty rust spots that have been bothering you for years. After prepping the area we apply a high-tech bonding agent. Finally we spray on a gorgeous durable topcoat that cures into a glossy rock-hard shield.
This method works wonders on cast iron, steel, and even modern fiberglass units. Which means you get to keep your beloved deep soaking basin while making it look brand new. The final result delivers incredible shine and a velvety feel that rivals a freshly manufactured piece.
To help you compare your options we put together a handy guide below.
| Feature | Our Renewal Process | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Project Duration | Usually under 24 hours | Often up to a week or more |
| Mess and Dust | Very minimal and contained | Extremely high dust and debris |

Many folks in Martin County struggle with hard water that leaves ugly orange rings on their fixtures. Our specialized coatings resist these mineral deposits much better than old worn-out porcelain. This makes your weekly cleaning chores a total breeze instead of a grueling workout.
On top of that we use top-tier materials designed to withstand the test of time. You will not have to worry about peeling or cracking after just a few months of use. We stand behind our work because we know the quality of our prep labor is unmatched.
Let us talk about the cold hard cash you get to keep in your wallet. Replacing a built-in unit requires hiring plumbers, tile setters, and sometimes even drywall installers. Those labor costs skyrocket before you even buy the actual new fixture.
Choosing our specialized spraying service bypasses all that unnecessary drama. You get the exact same visual upgrade for a tiny fraction of the price. This lets you allocate your hard-earned money toward other important home improvements.
Throwing away a heavy cast iron basin is a real shame and a logistical nightmare. Landfills do not need more heavy rubbish that will sit there for a thousand years. Our process keeps your sturdy old fixture in place and out of the trash heap.
This eco-friendly approach reduces manufacturing demand and saves transport fuel. You can feel genuinely good about making a sustainable choice for your household. It is a win-win situation for your home and the planet.
Naturally you might worry about chemical smells or a giant mess in your hallway. We utilize powerful exhaust systems that pull fumes directly out of your house during the application. Our technicians mask off every single inch of your bathroom to protect your walls and floors.
The entire transformation takes only a single day from start to finish. Once we pack up our tools you only need to wait a short curing period before jumping in for a hot soak. This rapid turnaround time means minimal disruption to your daily family routine.
To keep your newly coated surface looking spectacular we advise avoiding harsh abrasive cleansers. Simple soap and a soft cloth are all you need to maintain that brilliant luster. This gentle care ensures your renewed fixture stays bright for a very long time.
There is absolutely no reason to keep putting up with a dingy stained wash station. Our friendly team is ready to visit your home and provide a comprehensive free estimate. We explain every option clearly without any confusing high-pressure sales tactics.
Taking this step helps you reclaim the peace of mind you deserve when relaxing at home. Imagine sinking into a sparkling clean basin that feels like a luxury spa feature. We make this dream a reality with speed, precision, and local pride.

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.
