First of all, demolition is a dirty word that usually involves hammers, broken tiles, and unexpected plumbing disasters that cost extra. Choosing to restore your cast iron or acrylic basin avoids those costly traps completely. This lets you keep your original fixture while giving it a durable, glossy shield that looks identical to a brand new purchase.
Furthermore, older fixtures are often built much tougher than the cheap plastic stuff you find at the big box stores today. By keeping your heavy, high-quality original tub, you preserve the character of your home while upgrading its daily usability. Our specialized bonding agents lock onto the old porcelain to create a seamless, non-porous barrier that resists future stains.
That way you know the cost up front and decide at your own pace. We handle the entire transformation from prep to the final polish ourselves. You get a stress-free experience and a gorgeous result without the premium price tag.
Initially, we clean the old surface with specialized industrial cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures our new coatings stick like glue and do not peel off later. We fix every single chip, scratch, and ding with a premium waterproof filler before we even think about spraying.
After that, we apply a proprietary chemical bonding agent that acts like a microscopic bridge between the old porcelain and the new acrylic. This advanced step is what separates a professional job from those cheap DIY kits that fail after three baths. You get a smooth, reliable finish that stands up to daily scrubbing and hot water for years to come.
Because we operate right here in this quiet corner of Arkansas County, we treat our neighbors like family and respect your home. Whether you live near the scenic White River or closer to the historic civil war battle site, we are just a quick drive away. Our team knows how hard water in this region can ruin a finish, so we use materials designed to fight those local mineral stains.
Interestingly, serving a small community with about 230 residents means our reputation is everything to us. We cannot afford to do sloppy work because we see our clients at the local post office and grocery store. This drives us to deliver absolute perfection on every single job we take on.
So, if you reside in the 72140 ZIP code area, you can easily access our reliable home improvement services. We understand that the local median household income requires smart spending, which is why our cost-effective option is so popular here. You get high-end beauty without stretching your family budget thin.
Once we pack up our tools, keeping your renewed fixture clean is actually incredibly easy. You just need to swap out those harsh, abrasive bleaching powders for mild liquid soaps and a soft sponge. This simple change preserves the brilliant shine and prevents microscratches from dulling the surface over time.
Additionally, you should avoid leaving wet shampoo bottles or damp washcloths sitting directly on the surface for days. Simple habits like rinsing the basin after each shower will keep it looking factory-new for a decade or more. We always explain these easy tips in person so you get the absolute most value out of your investment.
To begin, our technician arrives on time with all the specialized equipment, including high-tech exhaust fans to vent any fumes safely outside. We carefully mask off your bathroom walls, vanity, and floor with protective paper and plastic sheets to keep overspray away from your belongings. Your home remains clean and protected throughout the entire visit.
Next, we spray several coats of our premium acrylic urethane topcoat using professional high-volume, low-pressure spray systems. This technique creates an incredibly smooth, mirror-like gloss that mimics the original factory glaze. Once the coating cures, we remove all our masking materials and leave your bathroom spotless.
Finally, we do a thorough inspection with you to make sure every square inch meets your high standards. We do not pack up until you are completely happy with the transformation. This dedicated service is why your neighbors trust us to revive their tired bathrooms.
Honestly, almost any old tub can be saved unless it is completely rusted through with giant gaping holes. Even if you have ugly color schemes from forty years ago, we can coat them in a bright, modern white or almond finish. This simple change instantly brightens up the entire room and makes it feel twice as large.
Now, if you have minor rust around the drain or some chipping from a dropped heavy object, we can easily repair those spots. Our fillers blend seamlessly under the new topcoat so you will never know those damages were ever there. It is the perfect solution for homeowners, landlords, and historical home renovators alike.
Why spend another day looking at a dingy, stained bathroom fixture when the solution is so simple and affordable? Our friendly team is ready to answer all your questions and provide a clear, honest breakdown of the costs. We believe in transparent pricing with absolutely zero hidden fees or surprise upcharges.
Simply reach out to us to schedule your complimentary, no-obligation consultation right at your convenience. We will inspect your fixture, explain your options, and give you an accurate price on the spot. Take the first step toward your dream bathroom today and request your free 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 Saint Charles, 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.
