A dull or chipped tub in Pantego 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.
Is your bathroom looking a bit tired and outdated? You do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition. Our team of local specialists can make your old tub look brand new again in just one afternoon.
Maybe you have lived in your home for years and the color of your basin makes you cringe. Or perhaps you just bought a fixer-upper in Tarrant County and the previous owners left behind a stained, scratched mess. Since buying a new cast iron or steel tub is incredibly expensive, finding a smarter alternative is key.
Actually, the cost of a replacement goes way beyond the price tag at the hardware store. Plumbers charge a fortune to rip out old pipes, and you might even have to break your door frame just to get the old unit out. This is why our specialized surface restoration service is the perfect shortcut to a beautiful washroom.
By choosing to restore what you already have, you save a mountain of cash and avoid weeks of construction dust. Our local crew arrives with professional equipment to strip away the old, damaged layer and apply a fresh, glossy finish that sparkles. This means you can keep your original layout while enjoying a sparkling clean surface that looks like it came straight from the showroom.
First, we do not just spray some cheap paint over your dirt and call it a day. In fact, our detailed process requires serious preparation because the new coating needs a perfectly clean foundation to stick to. We start by removing all the old caulking and scrubbing the surface with industrial-strength cleaners to dissolve soap scum.
Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks using a heavy-duty polyester filler. Once the filler cures, we sand it down until the entire area feels as smooth as glass. This preparation step is crucial because even the tiniest bump can ruin the final look of your newly coated basin.
After that, we apply a specialized bonding agent that chemically fuses the new glaze to the old porcelain or fiberglass. Then, we spray several coats of a high-tech acrylic urethane topcoat using professional spray guns. This advanced material creates a durable, non-porous barrier that resists stains and looks incredibly shiny.
Naturally, saving money is the biggest reason why homeowners love this smart home improvement trick. You get to keep your hard-earned cash for other projects while still enjoying a stunning bathroom transformation. On top of that, the entire job takes less than a day, which keeps your daily routine running smoothly.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple table showing how our service stacks up against a full replacement.
| Factor | Our Restoration Service | Full Replacement Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, fraction of replacement cost | Extremely high, plus plumbing and tile repair |
| Time to Complete | Usually done in 4 to 6 hours | Can take a week or more of messy work |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal, we mask off the entire room | Massive amount of drywall dust and debris |
| Durability | Lasts for many years with proper care | Depends on the quality of the new tub purchased |
As you can see, choosing to recoat your existing fixture is the superior choice for your wallet and your sanity. You will not have to deal with loud contractors banging on your walls for days on end. Instead, you get a beautiful, clean space to soak in without any of the typical renovation headaches.
Of course, we believe in being completely honest with you about how to care for your newly glazed fixture. Although the new finish is extremely tough, it is not indestructible, so you have to treat it with a little respect. Which means you must throw away those abrasive scrubbing powders and steel wool pads forever.
Instead, you should clean your shiny new surface using mild dish soap and a soft sponge. This simple routine prevents scratches and keeps the surface looking highly polished for a decade or more. If you drop a heavy wrench or a metal can on it, the coating can chip, but we can easily patch those minor accidents if they happen.
Another thing to consider is the temporary odor during the application process. Because we use commercial-grade chemical compounds, the smell can be quite strong while we are spraying. However, we use powerful exhaust fans to pull the fumes out of your window, so the scent disappears quickly once the coating cures.
Since we live and work right here in the local area, we treat our customers like our neighbors. We know the local homes inside and out, from the classic mid-century builds to the newer suburban properties. Our goal is to provide top-notch craftsmanship that makes you proud of your home again.
Actually, we take immense pride in our attention to detail, making sure every corner is perfectly sealed and smooth. We do not rush our work, and we always clean up our mess before we pack up our tools. This dedication to quality is why so many local homeowners trust us with their bathroom updates.

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 Pantego, 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.
