A dull or chipped tub in Monroe 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.
Fixing up your old worn out tub right here in our friendly town in Jasper County saves you thousands compared to buying new. Getting a free estimate today will quickly show you how easy it is to make your standard five-foot fixture shine again like brand new!
Actually, those old chipped finishes on your big wash basin look really nasty after years of hard family use. Scrubbing that tough grime gets almost impossible when the smooth top coat wears completely away down to the dull base material...
Consequently, bad stains start sinking deep inside the tiny porous spots where normal household cleaners just cannot reach no matter how hard you scrub on Saturdays. Furthermore, buying a whole brand new setup requires ripping out your solid plaster walls and paying crazy high plumbing fees that ruin your household budget fast.
Thankfully, restoring that existing heavy cast iron or stamped steel basin gives you that clean shiny surface back in just one single day of work. Naturally, you get to keep thousands of hard earned dollars right in your bank account while still enjoying a shiny spa-like feel every morning!
First off, we come straight to your home around the 50170 area with our special heavy duty exhaust fans and professional gear. Next, we apply strong cleaners to strip away every bit of old soap film and built up minerals off your dirty washing basin.
Then, after repairing those ugly rusty spots and chips with tough industrial epoxy fill, we spray a super bonding prime layer over everything. Plus, this sticky secret coat makes sure the top glossy layer locks down tight so it will never peel off when you take hot baths.
Finally, our crew sprays multiple thin coats of premium liquid acrylic resin that fuses straight to your old underlying structure. Therefore, your whole fixture cures into a rock hard glossy shield that looks just like expensive new porcelain from the local home improvement store!
Normally, tearing out an ancient sunken wash tub costs a giant fortune once you count the messy demo work and expensive tile repairs. Honestly, local folks living around this quiet community of 1,743 people would much rather spend their money on nice family vacations or saving for retirement.
Besides, standard replacement projects often take over two full weeks of noisy contractors walking through your clean living room with dirty boots. On top of that, your main bathroom stays completely useless for weeks while you wait on late tile workers and pricey permits.
Alternatively, our fast chemical bonding process completely avoids that crazy construction chaos while delivering the exact same beautiful shiny result. Which means, you save about seventy percent of overall replacement costs while getting your quiet home back to normal by dinner time!
To help you see the real numbers clearly, we put together this easy breakdown of your main choices for your home upgrade. Take a quick look at how the real numbers stack up for your family budget!
| Service Option | Average Cost | Time Needed | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | $3,500 - $8,000 | 1 to 2 Weeks | Very High Demo Dust |
| Plastic Wall Tub Liner | $2,500 - $5,000 | 2 to 3 Days | Moderate Noise |
| Professional Chemical Refinishing | $350 - $650 | 4 to 6 Hours | Super Low Impact |
Obviously, spending a tiny fraction of your hard earned income while achieving that high end cozy finish makes complete sense for smart homeowners. Indeed, keeping your median household income around $52,381 intact while modernizing your space is just pure good common sense!
Surprisingly, the high gloss finish we spray over your old basin creates a non-porous barrier that repels water and dirty scum easily. Because of this super smooth surface, cleaning your washing area takes only a quick wipe with a simple soft sponge and mild liquid soap.
Additionally, you never have to deal with harsh toxic bleach products or tired aching arms from scrubbing hard on your knees every weekend. Furthermore, the fresh acrylic coating shields your heavy iron base against future rust spots and chips for many wonderful years ahead.
Moreover, you get total peace of mind knowing your home value goes up instantly without taking on giant dangerous store credit card debt. Thus, you enjoy rich luxury feel and smooth daily living without any of the heavy financial stress attached to big remodels!
To begin, we carefully mask off all your nice walls, floors and shiny chrome faucets using heavy plastic sheets and painter tape. Then, we set up a big heavy duty exhaust duct out your nearest window to pull all strong chemical vapors outside completely.
After that, we etch the old slippery glossy surface using high grade acid solutions that create microscopic grooves for maximum paint adhesion. Next, we fill in every single ugly chip, crack, and dent with smooth high speed fiberglass fillers until the sides feel smooth as glass.
Finally, we spray our special glossy topcoat using high volume low pressure spray guns for that slick factory finish. Ultimately, you are left with a super bright, super smooth bathing area that dries completely within twenty four short hours!
Regrettably, many excited homeowners try using cheap roll-on paint kits bought from local hardware big box stores to save a quick buck. Sadly, those cheap store kits usually start flaking off in massive ugly white sheets after just a few short hot showers...
Indeed, retail paint bucket products lack the strong industrial acids and crazy chemical bonding agents that real trained workers use every day. Beyond that, using a messy paint roller leaves ugly brush marks, dripping lines, and bubbly spots all over your heavy cast iron base.
Instead, letting trained local contractors handle the tough prep work guarantees a flawless glass finish that stays stuck tight forever. So, skipping the huge hassle of messy DIY failures saves you tons of useless frustration and wasted weekend time!
Mainly, caring for your freshly sprayed smooth wash basin requires barely any hard effort on your part moving forward down the road. For instance, always avoid using nasty abrasive scouring powders or stiff wire scrub brushes that can scratch the glossy shiny top layer easily.
Likewise, avoid dropping heavy steel tools or sharp objects directly onto the fresh surface to prevent unexpected chipping accidents. Furthermore, checking your shower head for slow leaky drips prevents unsightly mineral stains from building up near your drain area over time.
Similarly, using soft microfiber cloths along with simple dish soap keeps that wet polished look glowing bright year after year. Consequently, taking simple proper care of your fixture ensures your shiny setup stays gorgeous for up to fifteen long happy years!

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 Monroe, 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.
The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
