A dull or chipped tub in Minor 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Maybe you look at your outdated tub every morning and sigh because those ugly stains and scratches just won't budge. Luckily, you can completely transform that worn-out surface without ripping out your walls or spending a small fortune on a full remodel. Our local crew comes right to your home to apply a gorgeous, durable new finish that makes everything look shiny and fresh again.
By choosing this smart surface restoration method, you skip the dusty mess of demolition while saving thousands of dollars on plumbing bills. This means you get to enjoy a sparkling, clean space in just a single day. If you want to see how affordable this quick upgrade is, we can give you a free estimate today.
First, we clean the existing fixture with specialized solutions to strip away years of soap scum, mineral deposits, and old oils. Actually, this deep prep work is the secret to making the new coating stick forever. After we repair any deep chips or cracks with a heavy-duty filler, we apply a proprietary bonding agent to lock everything in.
Next, our technicians spray several coats of a high-tech acrylic polymer finish over the prepared area. This advanced material cures into a hard, glossy shell that looks exactly like brand-new porcelain. Consequently, your old, dull basin gets a second life with a brilliant shine that resists future stains.
To give you a better idea of how this process stacks up against a full replacement, we put together a quick comparison table below.
| Feature | Our Restoration Service | Full Replacement Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very budget-friendly | Extremely expensive |
| Time to Complete | Under 24 hours | Up to a week or more |
| Mess and Noise | Minimal and contained | High dust and loud hammering |
| Lifespan | 10 to 15 years with care | Decades, but with huge upfront fees |
Before we even think about spraying the new finish, we carefully inspect the entire surface for structural flaws. Because even a tiny hairline fracture can let moisture seep underneath, we seal every single imperfection with waterproof compounds. This attention to detail ensures your finished product stays smooth and watertight for years to come.
Then, we sand down the patched areas until they blend seamlessly with the rest of the original structure. As a result, you will never feel a bumpy spot or see a shadow where the damage used to be. Your hand will glide over a perfectly flat, uniform surface every time you clean.
Now, we use a professional spray system to lay down the topcoat in thin, even layers. This technique prevents runs and drips, giving you that factory-fresh look that rollers or brushes can never achieve. Once the chemical curing process finish its magic, the bond becomes incredibly strong.
On top of that, the new non-porous surface prevents mold and mildew from taking root in old scratches. This makes your weekly cleaning chores a total breeze since dirt washes away with simple soap and water. You can finally throw away those harsh, toxic abrasive scrubbers for good.
Since we live and work right here in the local area, we treat your home with the utmost respect. We know the local housing styles well, from cozy mid-century ranch homes to newer builds tucked away near the local hills. Our crew always arrives on time, works clean, and leaves your bathroom spotless.
If you live in Jefferson County, you probably know how important it is to find reliable local contractors. Our small community of 1,074 residents values hard work and honest prices, which is why we never run up the bill with hidden fees. With a median household income of $44,539 around these parts, we know everyone wants to get the absolute most value out of their hard-earned dollars.
Whether your home sits near the main highway or closer to the quiet residential streets of Minor, Alabama, we are just a short drive away. We cover the entire local ZIP code and surrounding neighborhoods with our mobile service rig. This fast local response means you do not have to wait weeks for an appointment.
Furthermore, we bring all our own ventilation equipment to keep your indoor air clean and safe while we work. We exhaust any chemical fumes directly outside through the nearest window. This careful setup protects your family and pets from strong odors during the application phase.
Imagine the nightmare of hiring contractors to rip out your old heavy cast iron tub, which often requires breaking tiles and cutting drywall. This messy process usually leads to unexpected plumbing repairs that inflate your final bill. Our simple surface renewal avoids all that chaos while giving you the exact same visual result.
Therefore, you keep your original bathroom layout intact while saving your sanity and your savings account. This extra cash can go toward other home improvement projects or a fun family weekend. We believe in keeping home maintenance straightforward, affordable, and completely stress-free.
To keep your glossy new coating looking pristine, you only need to follow a few simple care guidelines. For starters, always avoid abrasive cleaning powders or steel wool pads that can dull the shiny finish over time. Instead, use mild liquid dish soaps or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners to wipe the surface down.
Additionally, try not to leave wet washcloths or heavy shampoo bottles sitting directly on the surface for weeks. If you use a bath mat, make sure to get one without suction cups, as pulling them up can stress the bond. These easy habits will keep your restored basin sparkling like a diamond for over a decade.
If you accidentally drop a heavy metal object or spill hair dye, do not panic right away. Simply rinse the area with warm water immediately and wipe it dry with a soft microfiber towel. Our high-grade protective coating is designed to handle daily wear and tear without staining easily.
However, if you ever manage to chip the surface down the road, we can easily patch that specific spot. You do not have to redo the entire fixture just because of one little accident. We are always just a quick phone call away to help you maintain your beautiful investment.

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 Minor, 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.
