A dull or chipped tub in Scottdale 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.
Do you look at your scratched tub and feel a deep sense of dread every single morning? Fortunately, you can fix that eyesore without breaking the bank or losing your mind. This service lets you transform your worn fixture into something that looks brand new.
Maybe your porcelain shows nasty cracks and stubborn stains that just refuse to leave. Because of this, washing up feels more like a chore than a nice break. Luckily, local pros in your area can spray a fresh acrylic coat right over the old mess.
Most folks wonder how a tired old basin gets such a shiny finish so fast. Actually, technicians start by cleaning the surface down to the bare bone to remove years of grime. This means the primer bonds tightly and prevents any peeling down the road.
Following that deep scrub, they fill in all the annoying chips and deep gouges with waterproof epoxy. Such careful prep work ensures your basin stays smooth and lasts for many years without trouble. That way, you get a gorgeous washing spot without the huge mess of demolition.
Replacing a built-in washing basin usually costs a small fortune and wrecks your bathroom walls. Instead, keeping your current shell saves you thousands of dollars in hidden labor fees. This approach gives you extra cash to spend on other fun home projects.
Beyond saving money, you also dodge weeks of dusty construction noise in your hallways. Consequently, your daily routine stays peaceful while the handy crew works their magic in just a few hours. That leaves you with plenty of time to enjoy your newly refreshed space.
Nestled in DeKalb County, our lovely community of 10,698 residents brings a unique small-town vibe right to the edge of Atlanta. With a median household income hovering around fifty-five thousand thirty dollars, families here always look for smart ways to upgrade their homes. Homeowners using ZIP codes 30079 take great pride in keeping their historic bungalows looking sharp and modern.
Local weather patterns can also take a heavy toll on older bathroom fixtures over the decades. Fortunately, specialized resurfacing creates a non-porous shield that fights off humidity and mildew with ease. This protects your investment from our Georgia heat and heavy summer storms.
When the local crew arrives at your door, they protect your floors with clean drop cloths right away. Then they set up heavy ventilation fans to suck out any strong fumes while they spray. Such careful habits keep your house safe and smelling fresh.
After they finish spraying the liquid polymers, the surface needs a full day to cure and harden completely. This means you should hold off on taking a hot soak until the coating cures all the way. Following these simple rules guarantees a mirror-like shine that stands the test of time.
| Method | Average Cost | Time Required | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Very High | Several Weeks | Decades |
| Acrylic Liners | Moderate | A Few Days | Medium |
| Surface Spraying | Low | One Day | Many Years |
As you can see from the breakdown above, spraying your tub wins on almost every single front. Therefore, picking this route is a no-brainer for budget-conscious homeowners who want quick results.
Once your project finishes, you must use mild soap instead of harsh scouring pads. This simple habit stops the glossy layer from scratching or losing its brilliant shine too soon. Because the new finish repels dirt so well, cleaning takes half the time it used to.
Avoid letting heavy metal bottles sit in standing water on the edges of the tub for days. Instead, use a caddy that hangs over the showerhead to keep your products high and dry. By taking these easy steps, you ensure your investment looks stunning for a long time.

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 Scottdale, 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.
