A dull or chipped tub in Saint Simons Island 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 tub looks pretty rough these days. Between the ugly stains and that outdated color from decades ago, you probably dread stepping into your bathroom. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition because our local team can completely renew your existing fixture for a fraction of the cost.
By choosing this smart update, you skip the headache of hiring plumbers and tearing down walls. This means you get a sparkling, clean surface in just a single day. Our professional surface restoration process seals up old microscopic pores to make your daily cleaning routine incredibly easy.
We believe in honest work and helping our neighbors across this beautiful coastal community get the home they deserve. If you want to see how affordable this transformation is, we would love to give you a free estimate today. Let us take a closer look at how we turn tired bathrooms into modern spaces.
Many homeowners think their only option is buying a brand-new tub when the finish wears out. However, our specialized process bonds a durable new coating directly onto your cast iron, steel, or fiberglass basin. This creates a brilliant, high-gloss layer that looks exactly like brand-new porcelain.
First, we carefully prepare the area by removing old caulk and cleaning the surface with industrial strength solutions. After that, we repair any chips, rust spots, or deep scratches so the foundation is completely smooth. This meticulous prep work ensures the new finish sticks perfectly and lasts for many years to come.
Once the repairs are complete, we use professional spray equipment to apply several coats of our premium acrylic polyurethane. This material cures into an incredibly tough shield that resists impacts and prevents water from seeping through. You get the same shine and luxury of a brand-new fixture without the massive price tag.
Replacing a tub is a massive construction project that often reveals hidden mold, water damage, and plumbing nightmares behind your walls. Consequently, a simple project can easily spiral into a weeks-long ordeal that leaves you without a working bathroom. Our onsite process completely avoids this chaos by focusing only on the fixture itself.
To help you compare your options, we put together a quick breakdown of how these two methods stack up:
| Factor | Our Renewal Process | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very budget-friendly | Extremely expensive |
| Time to Complete | Usually under 24 hours | Several days or weeks |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal and contained | Heavy construction debris |
| Plumbing Changes | None required | Often requires new pipes |
As you can see, choosing to restore your existing fixture saves you time, money, and sanity. This lets you spend your hard-earned cash on other home improvements instead of wasting it on demolition. On top of that, you keep perfectly good materials out of our local landfills.
We do not just paint over your problems like some cheap DIY kit you find at a big-box store. Actually, those retail kits usually peel off within a few months because they lack the chemical bonding agents that professionals use. We use commercial-grade silane molecular coupling agents to lock the new finish onto the old substrate.
During the application, we set up powerful exhaust fans to pull fumes and overspray safely out of your home. This keeps your indoor air clean and ensures your family stays comfortable while we work. After we finish spraying, the new surface needs about twenty-four hours to cure fully before you can enjoy a relaxing soak.
Once cured, the non-porous finish prevents soap scum, dirt, and mold from gripping the surface. Which means you can say goodbye to harsh scrubbing with abrasive chemical cleaners. A simple wipe down with a mild soap and a soft cloth keeps the shine bright for years.
Living on a barrier island means dealing with unique humidity challenges that can affect how coatings dry and cure. Because we know the local climate so well, we adjust our techniques to ensure a flawless application every time. We proudly serve homeowners throughout this gorgeous destination, which features a population of about 12,743 residents.
Our neighbors in Glynn County expect high-quality results that stand up to the test of time. Whether you live in a historic cottage or a modern home in ZIP code 31522, we bring the same attention to detail to every single job. Given the area's healthy median household income, investing in your property is always a smart way to protect your equity.
We treat your home with the utmost respect, always cleaning up our work area before we pack up our tools. This commitment to excellent service has made us a trusted favorite for local property owners. You can count on us to deliver beautiful results that make you proud of your bathroom again.
To get the absolute most out of your newly restored basin, you just need to follow a few easy care guidelines. For starters, never use abrasive pads like steel wool or harsh scrubbing powders on the new finish. These rough materials will scratch the surface over time and dull the beautiful gloss finish.
Instead, choose gentle liquid cleaners or even simple dish soap to keep everything clean and bright. Also, make sure you fix any dripping faucets quickly because constant water dripping can eventually wear down the seal. By taking these basic steps, you can keep your fixture looking brand-new for over a decade.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy metal cans sitting directly on the ledge. Using a hanging shower organizer protects the finish and prevents rust stains from forming. These small habits ensure your investment remains beautiful and pristine for the long haul.

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 Simons Island, 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.
