A dull or chipped tub in Normandy 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.
Do you look at your scratched tub with absolute dread every single morning? Well, that faded washbasin in your Duval County bathroom can actually shine like brand new again.
Instead of ripping out that heavy cast iron basin, you can choose a smart restoration method. This clever process saves you thousands of dollars while giving your bathroom a fresh vibe.
Have you ever wondered how old bathtubs get their glossy finish back without complete replacement? Basically, local pros apply industrial coatings directly over your existing fixture. This means you skip demolition entirely.
During this procedure, specialists carefully etch the old porcelain to create a strong bond. Then, they spray specialized acrylic urethane polymers using high-volume low-pressure sprayers. Because of this technique, your washing vessel gets a durable layer that resists chipping and stains.
Tear-outs usually destroy surrounding tiles and cost a small fortune in labor fees. However, choosing our on-site service lets you bypass all that messy construction dust. This lets you keep your original layout intact without breaking the bank.
Think about the hidden expenses tied to plumbing re-routing and disposal charges. By comparison, surface refinishing takes just a single day from start to finish. Consequently, you save both time and hard-earned money.
Modern bonding agents create a chemical weld with your old porcelain. Therefore, the fresh coating will not peel off under normal daily use. This lets you enjoy a smooth soaking tub for many years.
Additionally, the non-porous finish stops mold and mildew from growing in tiny cracks. Which means you spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees. On top of that, your bathroom instantly gets that upscale luxury feel.
Living in this charming part of Florida brings unique humidity challenges to your indoor spaces. Naturally, moisture wreaks havoc on traditional caulking and older bathroom fixtures over time. Therefore, upgrading your wet areas protects your home investment.
Our community boasts a cozy population of roughly eight thousand eight hundred residents sharing a laid-back lifestyle. Many homeowners here reside in ZIP codes like 32221 where mid-century houses often need modern updates. Updating your bathing area keeps property values competitive in our local housing market.
Years of mineral deposits leave ugly orange rings right around your drain. Yet, no amount of bleach seems to lift those deep mineral stains. Fortunately, our restoration crew strips away those blemishes during the prep phase.
After acid-washing the substrate, all pitting and rough patches simply disappear. This ensures the final spray adheres to a perfectly smooth foundation. As a result, you get a gleaming finish that looks straight out of a magazine.
Maybe your old pink or avocado green basin clashes with your current decor. Fortunately, you can pick from bright white, bone, or even custom color matches. This lets you personalize your bathing space to match your exact aesthetic vision.
Matching your sink or surround tiles becomes remarkably simple with our versatile color palette. Furthermore, high-gloss finishes reflect ambient light to make small bathrooms feel much larger. Thus, your morning routine becomes a genuinely pleasant experience.
Property owners often wonder if they should just buy a brand-new acrylic basin. But traditional replacements require hiring demolition crews, plumbers, and tile setters. Meanwhile, our streamlined service requires none of that disruptive chaos.
Here is a quick breakdown to help you visualize the practical differences between both approaches.
| Project Factor | Complete Tear-Out | Surface Renovation |
|---|---|---|
| Average Duration | One to Two Weeks | One Single Day |
| Mess Level | Extreme Dust and Debris | Minimal Odor and Dust |
| Upfront Cost | Extremely Expensive | Budget Friendly |
Naturally, looking at this data makes the smart choice crystal clear for most busy homeowners. Saving precious weekends means you can relax instead of managing loud contractors. Therefore, choosing surface renewal simply makes logical sense.
Are you wondering what needs to happen before our technicians arrive at your residence? First, remove all personal items like shampoo bottles, bath toys, and soap dishes. This lets our crew move freely around your workspace.
Next, make sure your pets stay safely secured in another room during the spraying process. Because we use industrial ventilation fans, you will not have to worry about lingering chemical smells. Therefore, your household stays comfortable while we work our magic.
Our technicians mask off your walls, floors, and vanity using heavy-duty plastic sheeting. Consequently, your surrounding decor remains completely safe and untouched throughout the entire procedure. This attention to detail guarantees a pristine workspace when we pack up.
Ventilation hoses are positioned carefully out of a nearby window to exhaust fumes safely outside. Because we take these precautions seriously, your home stays clean and protected. Thus, you experience zero stress while your bathroom undergoes its dramatic transformation.
The fresh acrylic coating needs about twenty-four to forty-eight hours to cure completely. During this window, avoid running water or placing items on the new surface. Following this rule ensures maximum durability for your newly glazed fixture.
When cleaning your restored basin, always use mild dish soap and a soft sponge. Never use abrasive scouring pads or harsh bleach powders that might scratch the gloss. By practicing these easy habits, your investment will look stunning for a decade.
Do you feel ready to transform that dated washing basin into a stunning centerpiece? Contact our local team today to discuss your project details and ask any questions. We always show up on time and treat your property with absolute respect.

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 Normandy, 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.
