From one end of North Carolina to the other, we bring tubs back to a bright finish without pulling a single one 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.
Are you tired of staring at that stained, chipped basin in your bathroom every single morning? Well, local pros can spray a fresh, durable coating right over your old fixture without tearing it out.
This clever process saves you thousands of dollars compared to a complete remodel. Consequently, you get a brand new look for a fraction of the usual hassle.
Most homeowners wonder how a simple liquid application can transform an old, beat-up tub into a shiny masterpiece. Actually, technicians apply specialized bonding agents and strong topcoats that chemically fuse to the original porcelain or fiberglass. Because of this solid bond, the updated surface resists peeling and handles daily scrubbing like an absolute champ.
During this meticulous procedure, specialists first etch the surface to guarantee maximum adhesion for the new materials. Afterwards, they spray multiple layers of high-performance acrylic urethane, giving you a smooth, glossy finish that makes cleaning way easier.
Nobody actually enjoys spending weeks dealing with loud contractors and demolition dust inside their house. Fortunately, local restoration projects finish in just a single day, letting you use your bathroom again very soon. This means you skip the headache of plumbing leaks and damaged drywall.
Another huge win is the sheer amount of cash you keep in your bank account. Instead of paying for expensive demolition and disposal fees, you simply pay for skilled surface renewal. This lets you spend your hard-earned money on other fun home projects.
Years of harsh scrubbing agents and hard water leave tiny micro-scratches all over your porcelain. Over time, those microscopic grooves trap dirt and stubborn mold that refuse to wash away. Fixing this mess requires expert care rather than another bottle of grocery store cleaner.
Stubborn stains and dull patches completely ruin the vibe of an otherwise clean and cozy washroom. Therefore, breathing new life into the room creates a peaceful sanctuary where you can truly unwind after a long workday. This upgrade delivers that wonderful luxury feel without breaking your budget.
Does your tub feel rough to the touch when you step inside for a quick shower? That rough texture usually means the original factory glaze has completely worn away, exposing raw, porous material underneath. This allows dirty water to sink into the substrate.
Are you noticing annoying rust spots bleeding through around the drain or overflow plate? Those ugly orange blemishes spell trouble for the integrity of your plumbing fixtures. Ignoring them leads to deeper cracks and potentially costly leaks underneath the floorboards.
Tearing out a heavy iron or fiberglass tub involves destroying surrounding tile and subflooring. This messy demolition creates huge piles of debris and takes weeks to finish completely. Instead of dealing with all that chaos, smart property owners choose a clean, fast resurfacing technique.
| Factor | Full Replacement | Surface Renewal |
|---|---|---|
| Time Required | 1 to 3 weeks | 1 day |
| Average Cost | Very high | Affordable |
| Mess Level | Extremely disruptive | Minimal cleanup |
That clear comparison shows why spraying your fixture is the smartest choice for busy families. Plus, you avoid the nightmare of finding a contractor who disappears halfway through a massive demolition job. You simply enjoy a gorgeous, shiny basin by dinnertime.
Living across the Tar Heel State means dealing with fluctuating humidity levels and shifting soil that impacts houses. These environmental factors cause tiny hairline fractures to form in older fixtures over the years. Addressing these issues proactively protects your home value and keeps your bathroom looking sharp.
Many older neighborhoods feature charming vintage properties with deep, cast-iron basins that modern manufacturers rarely replicate. Preserving these sturdy antique fixtures through professional spraying keeps your historic home authentic while upgrading functionality. This smart approach bridges the gap between classic design and modern convenience.
High summertime moisture in the region can cause traditional caulking and sealants to degrade prematurely. When moisture gets trapped behind worn-out surfaces, mold thrives and unpleasant odors develop in your washroom. Updating the protective barrier stops moisture intrusion dead in its tracks.
Winter temperature drops also stress older materials, making brittle porcelain more prone to sudden cracking. Applying a flexible, high-grade polymer coating provides an extra layer of defense against thermal shock. This added resilience ensures your basin stays intact through every changing season.
Inviting a local contractor into your personal space can feel a bit intimidating if you do not know what happens. Transparent professionals always explain every step of the workflow before opening a single can of product. This ensures you feel confident and completely informed throughout the entire appointment.
Technicians arrive with heavy-duty ventilation equipment to capture fumes and keep your indoor air fresh. They carefully mask off surrounding walls, floors, and vanities to prevent any accidental overspray from touching your favorite tiles. This attention to detail guarantees a pristine workspace from start to finish.
First, the crew thoroughly cleans your fixture using industrial-grade stripping agents to eliminate soap scum, oils, and mineral buildup. Next, they sand the entire surface down to create a micro-etched texture for optimal chemical bonding. This crucial prep work determines how long your new finish will actually last.
After wiping everything down with specialized solvents, the technician sprays multiple coats of primer and topcoat. Finally, they apply a fresh bead of mildew-resistant silicone caulk around the outer edges for a clean seal. This leaves you with a stunning, mirror-like finish that turns heads.
Protecting your fresh investment requires adopting a few gentle cleaning habits rather than using aggressive scrub brushes. Harsh chemical powders and abrasive scouring pads will dull the glossy topcoat much faster than anything else. Sticking to mild dish soap and a soft sponge keeps the surface gleaming for years.
Wiping down the basin after every use prevents stubborn hard water minerals from baking into the new coating. This simple daily routine takes less than sixty seconds and preserves that brilliant factory shine indefinitely. Your careful maintenance rewards you with a gorgeous washroom that looks brand new.
Never spray bleach-heavy formulas or abrasive toilet bowl cleaners directly onto your freshly sprayed acrylic surface. Those harsh chemicals slowly eat away at the protective urethane shield and cause premature fading. Using eco-friendly, gentle liquid soaps is always the safest bet for longevity.
Avoiding heavy falling objects like metal tools or glass bottles prevents accidental chips in the protective layer. Placing a rubber mat at the bottom of the basin cushions the impact of bath toys and shampoo containers. These tiny adjustments make a massive difference in how your fixture ages.

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.
