A dull or chipped tub in Ranchito 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.
If your old washbasin looks like it survived a war, you really do not need to rip it out. You can totally transform that stained porcelain surface and give it a fresh look with our help in the lovely town of Ranchito, Texas.
Replacing an entire tub is a massive nightmare involving plumbing, tiling, and way too much dust for any normal person to handle. Instead of tearing everything out, we apply a fresh, durable polymer coating directly over your existing unit. This saves you tons of cash and keeps your home peaceful while we work our magic in just one day.
Because your time is valuable, you deserve a quick turnaround that avoids the usual construction mess. Most homeowners in our corner of Cameron County love how this process turns a dull, chipped basin into a bright, clean masterpiece. You get the benefit of a brand new look without the massive headache of a full bathroom renovation project.
First off, we scrub the surface down to remove every bit of soap scum, grime, or hidden mold lurking in the corners. Next, we carefully repair any nasty chips or deep cracks using professional fillers that bond tightly to the base material. Once the prep is perfect, we spray on a specialized, high-grade resin that creates a smooth, glossy finish just like a brand new unit.
This heavy-duty layer protects the original structure from future damage while providing a surface that is super easy to wipe down. Think of it as a protective shield that keeps your bathroom looking pristine for years to come. Plus, you have the freedom to pick from various shades to match your current room vibe perfectly.
You might wonder if this project fits your wallet, especially since the median household income varies across our local neighborhoods. When you compare the cost of a full tub swap, which involves plumbers and haul-away fees, you find that our method is significantly cheaper. It lets you allocate your hard-earned money toward other home improvements that actually matter to your family.
| Service Feature | Your Direct Benefit |
| Fast Surface Coating | Zero demolition mess |
| Professional Chip Repair | Restored structural integrity |

Sometimes the water around Cameron County contains minerals that leave behind stubborn rings or stains on your fixtures. These deposits can make your basin look old even when you scrub it every single day. Our specialized coating resists these minerals much better than original, porous porcelain surfaces ever could.
By choosing this route, you save yourself hours of scrubbing with harsh chemicals that smell like a chemistry lab. You just need a simple, gentle sponge and some mild soap to keep things shining bright. This extra convenience makes your daily routine much more pleasant and keeps your bathroom smelling fresh.
Your safety remains our top priority during the entire application process because we use ventilation systems to keep the air clear. We also ensure that the final result creates a non-slip surface if you want added stability for your family. This tiny detail provides peace of mind, especially if you have young children or older folks living under your roof.
On top of that, we only use materials that offer long-term durability against heat and moisture. You will not find any peeling or flaking if the prep is done correctly by a skilled hand. Our team focuses on the technical details so you can just enjoy the updated appearance of your wash area.

During our visit, we take a look at the size and current state of the basin to give you an accurate price. We do not use high-pressure tactics because we believe our work speaks for itself and fits your schedule. You can ask us anything about the durability or the time it takes to cure before you start using it again.
Because we operate in various ZIP codes around the region, we know the local housing stock quite well. Whether you have an older home or a newer build, we have seen it all and know how to fix any issue you face. You deserve a professional who respects your space and cleans up after the work is finished.

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 Ranchito, 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.
