A dull or chipped tub in Poydras 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.
Your old bathroom fixture probably looks like it has seen much better days.
Maybe the surface has turned a nasty shade of yellow over the years.
Fortunately, you do not have to spend a fortune on a massive remodeling project to fix this eyesore.

Our local team specializes in giving those tired surfaces a completely fresh, beautiful lease on life.
By choosing this smart update, you will save thousands of dollars while getting a clean, glossy finish that feels amazing.

Actually, the process is way more detailed than just slapping a fresh coat of paint on the surface.
First, we must meticulously clean the entire area with specialized cleaners to remove years of soap scum and hard water deposits.
This step ensures that the new coatings will stick perfectly without peeling later on.
After that, we repair any deep chips, scratches, or ugly rust spots that have ruined the look of your basin.
Next, we apply a high-tech bonding agent that chemically fuses the new layer to the old porcelain or fiberglass.
Finally, we spray on several coats of a durable acrylic topcoat that dries to a brilliant, mirror-like shine.
To give you a better idea of how this compares to a full replacement, let us look at some quick facts.
| Factor | Our Restoration Method | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with high labor fees |
| Time to Complete | Usually finished in just a single day | Can take up to a week of messy construction |
| Mess and Cleanup | Minimal dust and no demolition debris | Tons of drywall dust, broken tile, and trash |
| Durability | Lasts for many years with proper care | Lasts a long time but requires massive upfront cost |
Living down here in our beautiful corner of the Pelican State means dealing with lots of humidity.
Moisture can easily get trapped behind walls during a major renovation, which often leads to dangerous mold growth.
Which means that avoiding demolition keeps your home safer and much cleaner during the process.
On top of that, our speedy process allows you to use your bathroom again in just a couple of days.
Think about how nice it will be to wash away the sticky Southern heat in a pristine, bright basin.
You will get to enjoy a gorgeous, modern look without dealing with noisy contractors invading your home for weeks.
Indeed, our neighbors in the local ZIP code appreciate how we treat every single house with absolute respect.
We always set up proper ventilation fans to pull any strong fumes directly out of your windows while we work.
This keeps your indoor air clean and fresh so you can relax while we handle the hard labor.
Once we finish our magic, you need to know how to keep that gloss looking brand new.
For starters, you must absolutely avoid using abrasive powder cleansers or harsh scrubbing pads on the new finish.
These rough products will scratch the surface and dull the beautiful shine over time.
Instead, we highly recommend using mild liquid dish soaps or gentle foaming bathroom cleaners.
A soft microfiber cloth or a gentle sponge is all you need to wipe away dirt.
By following these simple steps, your restored fixture will remain bright and smooth for up to a decade.
Additionally, remember to fix any dripping faucets as soon as you notice them.
Constant water dripping in the exact same spot can eventually wear down even the toughest professional coatings.
Taking care of small leaks early protects your investment and keeps your utility bills nice and low too.
If you are ready to stop feeling embarrassed by your outdated bathroom, we are here to help.
Our friendly crew will happily drive out to your home to inspect your setup and explain your options.
This visit will not cost you a single penny, and you are under absolutely no obligation to hire us.
To make things even easier, we will provide you with a detailed, written price estimate right on the spot.
We believe in honest, upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges at the end of the job.
You will know exactly what to expect before we ever turn on a single machine.

Contact us today so we can transform your old fixture into a sparkling masterpiece that you will love showing off.
We look forward to helping you upgrade your home right here in Poydras, Louisiana!
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 Poydras, 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.
