A dull or chipped tub in Oldtown does not need a demolition crew. It needs one technician, one day and a sprayed finish that shines.

If you live in this beautiful corner of Greenup County, you already know how historical charm often comes with older, worn-out plumbing fixtures. Many of the 8,340 local residents face the exact same dilemma of wanting modern style while preserving vintage character. We specialize in making old, stained surfaces look incredibly fresh and bright again in just a single afternoon.
Choosing to rip out an old heavy tub usually leads to broken wall tiles, plumbing headaches, and massive disposal fees. On top of those problems, the labor costs alone can easily drain your hard-earned savings. By choosing our specialized restoration process instead, you bypass all that stress and keep your original fixture right where it belongs.
This clever technique involves applying high-performance industrial coatings that bond directly to your existing porcelain or acrylic. This means you avoid the dust, the noise, and the endless parade of contractors walking through your clean home. Your newly sealed surface will resist stains and look absolutely gorgeous for many years to come.
Our friendly local technicians handle every single step of the preparation and application process with extreme care and precision. Because we care about your home, we use advanced exhaust fans to keep odors to an absolute minimum while we work. Let us take a look at how this straightforward process compares to traditional remodeling options:
| Factor to Consider | Our Restoration Service | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | Only 4 to 6 hours | Up to two full weeks |
| Mess and Dust Levels | Virtually none | Extremely high dust and debris |
| Total Financial Investment | Very affordable | Extremely expensive |
| Lifespan of Finished Product | 10 to 15 years with basic care | Varies by brand and material |
First, we strip away all the old soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits using specialized heavy-duty cleaners. This critical step ensures that the new coating will adhere perfectly to the original substrate without any peeling later on. If there are any chips or deep scratches, we fill them in carefully to create a flawlessly flat surface.
After that, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor between the old porcelain and the new finish. This scientific approach prevents the new topcoat from lifting or bubbling when you run hot bath water. You get a incredibly durable finish that feels super smooth to the touch every time you climb in.
Next, our skilled technician uses precision spray equipment to apply multiple layers of a premium acrylic urethane blend. This high-tech material creates a non-porous barrier that prevents water from ever reaching the original cast iron or steel underneath. Which means you will spend way less time scrubbing mildew and more time relaxing in a beautiful space.
Once the final coat cures, the resulting finish looks identical to a brand new factory-installed fixture. This brilliant gloss reflects light beautifully, making your entire bathroom feel much brighter and more spacious than before. You will instantly notice how much cleaner and more inviting your washroom feels after we packed up our tools.
Keeping your newly coated surface looking spectacular is actually much easier than maintaining an old porous porcelain basin. Since the new non-porous layer resists dirt, you only need mild dish soap and a soft sponge to wipe it clean. You must absolutely avoid abrasive scouring powders, because those harsh chemicals can dull the beautiful shine over time.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet bath mats lying on the bottom of the tub after you finish bathing. This simple habit prevents moisture from getting trapped underneath, which preserves the bond of the coating indefinitely. By showing your tub just a little bit of love, you ensure it stays radiant for over a decade.
We take immense pride in helping homeowners in this lovely community, which lies within the ZIP code 41162 area, get the gorgeous bathrooms they deserve. With a local median household income of around $42,000, we know how important it is to get real, honest value for every dollar you spend. Our cost-effective services deliver maximum visual impact without breaking your household budget.
Usually, you only have to wait about twenty-four hours before you can turn on the tap and enjoy your first hot soak. This rapid curing time means your daily routine is barely interrupted at all compared to a week-long construction project. You get to enjoy your upgraded bathroom almost immediately after we finish our work.
Yes, we routinely fix rusty areas around the drain and repair deep cracks in fiberglass units before we apply the final glaze. We grind away the active rust and apply specialized inhibitors to make sure the corrosion never eats its way back to the surface. This saves you from having to buy a brand new unit just because of minor localized damage.
While the specialized coatings do have a noticeable smell during application, we use powerful ventilation systems to pull the fumes outdoors. This proactive setup ensures that you and your family can remain comfortably inside your home while we do the work. The slight remaining scent usually vanishes completely within a few hours after we wrap up the job.

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 Oldtown, 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.
