A dull or chipped tub in Savannah 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.
Are you tired of looking at that scratched tub in your Savannah home? Well, this local surface renewal service gives you a brand new look without the huge remodeling mess.
Now, let us talk about why your porcelain needs some serious attention right now. Savannah residents know how harsh winter weather treats household fixtures over many years. This little town of five hundred ninety-six folks deserves better bathrooms. That median household income of fifty-two thousand two hundred ninety-two dollars means you want smart upgrades. Therefore, swapping that ugly tub for a fresh coating makes complete financial sense.
This localized trade involves spraying a tough resin over your existing wash basin. Which means you skip weeks of messy demolition work in ZIP codes 13146. On top of that, your old bathing container gets a shiny makeover in just one single day. But wait, how does this process actually work inside your house? Let us dive deep into the fascinating steps of this chemical coating magic.
First off, the crew scrubs every single inch of your stained tub surface. Naturally, they remove soap scum and mineral buildup using industrial strength etching agents. This intense scrubbing lets the bonding agent stick properly to the worn porcelain.
Afterwards, technicians tape off your tiles and bathroom floors to prevent any overspray accidents. Meanwhile, industrial ventilation fans suck out all those strong chemical fumes through your window. Thus, your home stays safe and breathable while the pros do their dirty work.
Next comes the application of a specialized primer that grips the old material tightly. Following that step, the technician sprays multiple layers of high grade acrylic polyurethane. This thick coating gives you a gorgeous glossy finish that rivals brand new fixtures.
Eventually, the curing phase begins and hardens the new shell into a solid shield. During this time, your tub transforms from a dated eyesore into a stunning bathroom centerpiece. Truly, this method saves you thousands of dollars compared to complete bathroom gut jobs.
Most homeowners wonder if replacement beats resurfacing when dealing with a chipped basin. Actually, pulling out an old tub destroys surrounding walls and plumbing pipes. Consequently, you face massive repair bills just to fix the collateral damage alone.
| Renovation Method | Average Cost | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Five Thousand Dollars | Two Weeks |
| Surface Renewal | Four Hundred Dollars | One Day |
Looking at that table makes the smart choice pretty obvious for most budget conscious families. Instead of living in a construction zone, you get quick results with minimal hassle. Furthermore, you keep your original cast iron or steel tub right where it belongs.
Many folks worry that sprayed finishes will peel off after a few months of use. However, modern bonding agents create a chemical weld that lasts for over a decade. Properly prepped surfaces rarely experience any bubbling or flaking issues down the road.
Yet you still need to avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that dull the shiny top layer. Instead, use mild dish soap and a soft sponge to clean your freshly coated basin. This simple habit guarantees your investment keeps shining brightly for many years.
Some people think they are stuck with boring white when refreshing their bathroom fixtures. But today you can pick from dozens of custom colors to match your decor. From almond to bone, the design options fit almost any aesthetic preference you desire.
Meanwhile, the chemical smell does linger for a little while after the technicians leave. Thankfully, running an exhaust fan clears out those residual odors within twenty four hours. Before you know it, you are soaking in a fresh tub without any weird smells.

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 Savannah, 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.
