A dull or chipped tub in Silver Lake 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 washbasin or deep soaking tub probably looks like it survived a war zone after years of scrub brushes and harsh chemical cleaners.
That yellowed, scratched surface does not mean you need to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project.
Instead, our local crew can spray a durable, glossy new synthetic finish right over your existing fixture in just a single afternoon.
This budget-friendly option saves you from the nightmare of hiring plumbers and tearing out drywall.
Which means you get to keep your heavy, high-quality cast iron basin while making it look brand new.
We bring all the professional equipment directly to your doorstep to handle the messy prep work and the high-tech coating application.
Our friendly team loves helping homeowners breathe new life into outdated bathrooms without draining their savings accounts.
Because of this passion, we focus on delivering a sparkling, glass-like surface that resists stains and stands up to daily showers.
If you want to see how affordable this transformation is, we would love to give you a free estimate today.
Many folks confuse this specialized restoration process with cheap DIY painting kits you buy at the local hardware store.
Those retail paint kits usually peel off within a few months because they lack industrial bonding agents.
Our multi-step chemical bonding system fuses the new coating to your old porcelain or fiberglass on a molecular level.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to shield your walls.
After securing the area, we apply a specialized etching compound to create microscopic pores in the original glaze.
This crucial step ensures the new materials grip the old surface with incredible strength so it never bubbles or peels.
Next, we spray a high-performance primer followed by several coats of an advanced acrylic urethane topcoat.
This material cures into an incredibly hard, non-porous shell that looks identical to brand new factory porcelain.
You will love how easily dirt slides off this fresh surface during your weekly cleaning routine.

As you can see, the traditional route of tearing out an old fixture is a massive headache.
By choosing our targeted refinishing service, you avoid the dust, the loud noise, and the army of subcontractors invading your home.
On top of that, you keep tons of heavy construction waste out of our local North Carolina landfills.
This smart home improvement decision also keeps your hard-earned money in your wallet for other fun weekend projects.
With the median household income in our lovely coastal county sitting around $50,352, saving thousands on a remodel is a huge win.
We believe in helping our neighbors get the absolute most value out of their existing property investments.
We begin by stripping away all the old, moldy silicone caulk around the edges of your fixture. Then, we scrub the entire area with specialized industrial cleaners to remove every trace of soap scum and body oils. Any tiny chip or deep scratch gets filled with a waterproof structural resin and sanded completely flat before we proceed.
This thorough preparation work makes up about eighty percent of the actual job time.
Without this extreme attention to detail, the new coating simply would not stick properly to the slick porcelain.
We never cut corners during this phase because we want your beautiful finish to last for well over a decade.
Once the surface is chemically clean and dry, we set up a powerful exhaust fan system to vent fumes safely outside. We then apply our proprietary bonding agent, which acts like a super-strength double-sided tape on a microscopic scale. After that, we use professional HVLP spray equipment to apply multiple layers of our glossy topcoat.
This advanced spray technique prevents run lines and ensures an incredibly smooth, uniform thickness across the entire basin.
The result is a brilliant, deep shine that restores the original warmth and cleanliness of your bathing space.

Whether you have a rusted cast iron tub, a faded fiberglass shower stall, or a scratched ceramic sink, we have you covered.
Let us help you fall in love with your home all over again without the stress of a major renovation.
To protect your shiny new surface, you should avoid abrasive scouring powders and scratchy green scrubbing pads.
Instead, use gentle liquid dish soaps or mild aerosol foaming bathroom cleaners along with a soft microfiber cloth.
These gentle cleaning habits keep the protective topcoat looking brand new and highly reflective for many years.
Also, make sure you fix any leaky faucets promptly to prevent standing water from constantly dripping on the same spot.
Consistent dripping over several years can wear down even the toughest industrial coatings prematurey.

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 Silver Lake, 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.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
