All over Orleans Parish, 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.
Are you tired of staring at that stained and cracked bathing basin every single morning? Well, you can finally transform your entire bathroom without spending a fortune by calling us for a free quote today.
Most homeowners in Orleans Parish Louisiana deal with worn-out plumbing fixtures that ruin the whole vibe of the room. This means you lose valuable time scrubbing stubborn grime that simply refuses to wash away. Consequently, your daily routine feels a bit less enjoyable than it should be.
Actually, replacing a heavy porcelain tub requires tearing up your floors and paying thousands of dollars in labor costs. Therefore, our specialized surface restoration method saves you both money and major headaches. Plus, this smart approach gives you a shiny new finish without any demolition mess.
When you hire our local crew, we arrive right at your doorstep with all the professional gear needed to restore your bathing vessel. We start by thoroughly cleaning the surface to remove soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. After that, we etch the old porcelain or fiberglass so the bonding agent sticks tightly.
Next, we spray multiple layers of high-grade industrial coating directly onto the worn substrate using an HVLP spray system. This lets you enjoy a smooth and glossy texture that mimics a brand-new fixture. Best of all, our quick curing times mean you can use your revitalized tub within just twenty-four hours.
You might wonder how long this newly restored surface will actually last under daily use. Truthfully, our advanced polyurethane coatings endure years of heavy scrubbing if you use non-abrasive cleaners. Meanwhile, you gain peace of mind knowing your investment is protected by our solid workmanship guarantee.
| Restoration Option | Estimated Cost | Time Required | Demolition Mess | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | High | Multiple Days | Extreme | |
| Surface Resurfacing | Low | A Few Hours | None | |
| Plastic Insert | Medium | One Day | Moderate |
Considering these numbers, choosing our local coating service clearly represents the most economical path forward. Indeed, you keep your existing plumbing intact while achieving stunning visual results. Ultimately, this smart decision leaves more cash in your wallet for other home improvement projects.
Living in a historic area brings unique challenges when dealing with older plumbing and vintage fixtures. Because of this, standard DIY kits from the big-box store often peel and bubble within a few short months. Instead of wasting your weekends on failed home projects, let our seasoned technicians handle the messy spraying work.
Our local team knows how the humid local climate affects curing times and bonding strength. Because of this specialized knowledge, we adjust our chemical mixtures to guarantee a rock-hard finish every single time. Therefore, you never have to worry about premature peeling or discoloration ruining your morning routine.
Beyond just aesthetics, a freshly coated bathing basin is much easier to sanitize and keep clean. Since our liquid coating seals all microscopic pores, mold and mildew find no place to hide. This translates to a healthier environment for your entire family during every single bath.
Many curious property owners ask us whether the new coating will give off any strong chemical odors. To answer that honestly, we use powerful ventilation fans to vent fumes safely out of your window while we work. Consequently, your house stays smelling fresh while we spray the specialized polymers.
Another frequent question involves the color choices available for your freshly updated washing vessel. Naturally, most people prefer a crisp and clean bright white finish to modernize their outdated space. However, we also offer almond, biscuit, and custom color matching if you want something a bit different.
Perhaps you worry about chipping the newly applied surface when dropping heavy shampoo bottles during a shower. Fortunately, our industrial-grade topcoats resist impacts remarkably well under normal household conditions. Even so, treating your upgraded basin with reasonable care ensures it stays gorgeous for a very long time.
Ready to stop hiding your stained tub behind a closed shower curtain every time guests visit? Well, getting started is incredibly simple because we always provide a free estimate with zero hidden fees attached. Just reach out to our friendly scheduling crew right now to lock in your appointment time.
We pride ourselves on honest pricing and punctual arrivals throughout the entire geographic area you call home.

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.
