A dull or chipped tub in Oxford 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.

This simple and affordable update breathes new life into your outdated restroom surface in just a few hours. Grab your free estimate today and see how easy it is to make your washroom shine again!
Perhaps you look at your stained, yellowed cast iron tub every morning and feel a bit discouraged. Buying a brand-new replacement fixture sounds great until you realize you have to rip out the wall tiles and hire an expensive plumber. Fortunately, our specialized spray-applied coating process renews your existing washbasin right where it sits.
This clever alternative creates a super-hard, high-gloss barrier that looks exactly like brand-new porcelain. By choosing this smart route, you keep your heavy original fixture and avoid the headache of a major home renovation. On top of that, you save a mountain of cash while still getting that gorgeous, clean feeling every time you step into the shower.
Indeed, the savings are incredible when you compare this method to traditional remodeling costs. Most homeowners do not realize that tearing out an old cast iron tub often damages the surrounding drywall and flooring. Which means a simple swap can quickly turn into an expensive, multi-week construction nightmare in your only bathroom.
We believe in keeping things simple, clean, and highly efficient for your busy household. Our local crew arrives with professional ventilation gear to ensure your home stays safe and smelling fresh during the application. This lets you enjoy a sparkling, modern washroom by the very next day without any of the typical dust.
First, we must scrub the old surface with industrial-strength cleaners to dissolve decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. Any remaining dirt or oils will prevent the new topcoat from bonding correctly to the original porcelain or fiberglass. Because of this, we spend most of our time on this critical preparation phase to guarantee a flawless finish.
Next, we carefully repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks using a specialized waterproof filler. Once those spots are completely smooth, we apply a chemical bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old surface and the new glaze. After that step, we spray several layers of a high-tech acrylic urethane coating using professional spray equipment.
This table compares the two main paths you can take when your washbasin starts looking rough:
| Project Details | Our Surface Renewal Process | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Project Time | 4 to 6 hours | 3 to 5 days |
| Mess and Dust | Almost none | Extremely high |
| Average Cost | Very budget-friendly | Very expensive |
| Expected Lifespan | 10 to 15 years | 20+ years |
As you can see, our restoration service saves you both time and money. This durable finish withstands daily use and keeps its brilliant shine for years with just basic, non-abrasive cleaning. Now, you can spend your hard-earned money on other home projects instead of wasting it on expensive plumbing bills.
Our friendly team loves helping neighbors throughout Granville County update their homes without breaking the bank. Many houses in this beautiful part of North Carolina feature classic, sturdy cast iron basins that are simply too good to throw away. We take pride in preserving these historic fixtures while giving them a clean, modern look that matches any style.
If you live in the 27565 area, you already know the unique charm of our local historic homes and cozy neighborhoods. With a local population of 8,648, we enjoy a tight-knit community where reputation and honest, hard work actually matter. We treat your home with the utmost respect, just like we would treat our own grandmother's house.
Considering the local median household income of $37,661, we know how important it is to get real value for your dollar. Spending thousands on a bathroom remodel just does not make sense when a fast cosmetic restoration achieves the exact same look. Our affordable services help you maximize your home equity without draining your savings account.
Moreover, we customize our approach to fit the specific material of your fixture, whether it is cast iron, steel, or fiberglass. Each material requires a slightly different bonding agent to ensure the new finish never peels or bubbles up over time. This careful attention to detail is why our finished projects look so incredibly smooth and professional.
To keep your renewed washbasin looking brand new, you simply need to avoid harsh, abrasive cleaning powders and scratchy scrub pads. Gentle dish soap or a mild liquid bathroom cleaner will easily wipe away grime without scratching the glossy topcoat. This easy maintenance routine saves you time and keeps your bathroom looking fresh with very little effort.
Additionally, you should make sure your bathroom faucet does not have a constant, dripping leak after the job is done. Continuous water dripping in the exact same spot can eventually wear down even the toughest professional coatings over several years. Fixing a leaky tap is a quick way to protect your investment and keep the glaze looking perfect.
We always recommend using a suction-cup-free bath mat if you prefer having a non-slip surface under your feet. The constant pulling of strong suction cups can slowly weaken the bond of the new glaze over time. Instead, we can apply a permanent, built-in slip-resistant texture to the bottom of your tub during our process.
This optional safety feature provides excellent traction for kids and seniors without damaging the beautiful look of the glossy finish. It is just one of the many ways we customize our service to fit the unique needs of your household. You get peace of mind and a gorgeous bathroom all in one quick visit.

Our team is ready to drive out to your home, assess your project, and provide a completely free, no-obligation quote.

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 Oxford, 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
