All over Morgan 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.
Do you want to fix that old peeling porcelain without spending a fortune? Well, this local service lets you transform your bathroom quickly and easily.
Now, finding someone reliable in your area can sometimes feel like a real headache. That is why understanding your options makes your life much simpler.
Tearing out a heavy iron basin creates a massive mess in your home. Instead, our team repairs the surface right where it sits.
This method saves you thousands of dollars on plumbing fees and new materials. Which means you keep extra cash in your pocket for other projects.
Replacing fixtures requires tearing up walls and floors. However, restoring the original unit lets you avoid all that destructive demo work.
On top of that, your weekend stays free from stressful construction debris. That gives you total peace of mind while we work our magic.
Throwing away heavy cast iron adds unnecessary waste to local landfills. By choosing restoration instead, you keep tons of usable material out of the trash.
This eco-friendly choice lets you reduce your carbon footprint without sacrificing style.
First, we thoroughly clean the basin to remove soap scum and stubborn mineral deposits. This deep preparation ensures the new coating bonds correctly.
Next, we meticulously mask off your surrounding tile and fixtures to prevent any accidental overspray. That kind of attention to detail protects your bathroom from damage.
After prepping, we apply a specialized bonding agent to grip the old porcelain. This vital step guarantees the finish will not peel off later.
Following the primer, we spray multiple layers of high-grade acrylic polyurethane. Which leaves you with a stunning, glossy shine.
Most projects take just a few hours from start to finish. However, the new surface needs about forty-eight hours to cure completely.
During this drying window, you must keep the area totally dry. This lets the coating harden into a durable shield.
Living in zip codes like 35601, 35603, and 35640 means you want local folks who understand your housing needs. Our technicians live right here in the area and know local homes inside and out.
Because we operate locally, you never wait weeks for an appointment. That prompt service gets your bathroom back in action fast.
Our service area spans across the local county seat of Decatur and surrounding rural towns. Whether you live near the Tennessee River or out in the country, we drive right to your driveway.

When you hire us, you support local jobs and keep your money in the community.
Many homeowners wonder how fixing up an old basin compares to buying a brand-new acrylic shell. Let us break down the differences so you can decide.
This quick chart helps you see the clear benefits of surface restoration over total replacement.
| Feature | Restoration | Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Time required | One day | One week |
| Mess level | Minimal | High demo mess |
| Average cost | Budget friendly | Extremely high |
Clearly, reviving your current fixture wins on almost every single front. That makes your decision much easier.
Over the years, harsh cleaning chemicals strip away the shiny protective glaze on old porcelain. When that happens, rust spots and rough patches start to form.
Fortunately, our liquid resurfacing technique covers up all those ugly blemishes instantly.
Dropping heavy objects can easily chip or crack the basin floor. Instead of letting water seep into the subfloor, we patch those holes permanently.
This repair work restores structural integrity while hiding the damage completely.
Hard water and old pipes often leave permanent orange or brown stains behind. Scrubbing those marks usually just ruins the remaining finish.
Our spraying process buries those stains under a fresh blanket of bright white coating.
Once your project finishes, you want the new finish to last for many years. Taking care of it properly requires very little effort on your part.
Always use mild, non-abrasive cleaners instead of harsh scouring powders.
Never use steel wool or metal scrubbers on the freshly coated surface. Those rough tools will dull the high-gloss shine over time.
Instead, grab a soft sponge and gentle dish soap to wipe down the walls.
Check your plumbing regularly for slow drips that can stain the new finish. Fixing leaks right away protects your investment for the long haul.
That proactive care keeps your bathroom looking brand-new.
Wondering if your cast iron or fiberglass unit qualifies for this treatment? Almost any old basin can look brand-new again with the right prep work.
Even ugly pink or avocado green fixtures from past decades transform into crisp modern white.
Properly maintained surfaces easily last ten to fifteen years before showing wear. That longevity rivals the lifespan of a brand-new installation.
Plus, you get that durability at a fraction of the cost.
Our technicians use powerful ventilation fans to vent fumes safely out of your window. This keeps your indoor air clean while we apply the coatings.
That thoughtful process ensures your home stays pleasant during the job.
Are you ready to stop looking at that stained, outdated basin every single morning? Transforming your space is just a phone call away.
Do not wait another month to enjoy a gorgeous, shining wash area.
We believe in honest pricing with zero hidden fees or surprise charges. That is why we provide transparent cost breakdowns before any work begins.

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.
