A dull or chipped tub in Simpsonville 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.

Our friendly local crew loves helping homeowners fall in love with their bathrooms all over again. Indeed, you do not have to live with an eyesore when a simple resurfacing can solve your problems.
Many folks assume that buying a new basin is the only way to fix a scratched, outdated bathroom setup. However, they soon realize that the actual purchase price of the new unit is just a tiny fraction of the total bill. Once you factor in the cost of hiring a plumber, tearing up your tile, and hauling away the old heavy cast iron, the expenses skyrocket.
That heavy demolition also creates a massive amount of dust that gets into every single corner of your home. On top of that, you might find yourself without a working shower for a week or even longer. Which means you are stuck asking your neighbors if you can use their facilities, which is super awkward for everyone involved.
To avoid all this unnecessary chaos, choosing a professional restoration service keeps your sanity intact. This smart method allows you to keep your quality vintage fixture while upgrading its appearance to a glossy, modern look. Plus, you will save enough money to finally take that weekend road trip you keep planning.
First, we must thoroughly clean the old surface using specialized agents to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This critical preparation step ensures that the new materials will bond perfectly to the original porcelain or fiberglass material. Without this deep wash, the new finish would simply peel off like a cheap sticker, which is a total disaster.
Next, our technicians carefully repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots using high-grade polyester fillers. After sanding those patches down until they are completely flush, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue for the new topcoat. This advanced chemical step ensures the new layer sticks forever, giving you peace of mind for years to come.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of a high-performance acrylic polymer coating over the entire surface using professional ventilation equipment. This state-of-the-art material cures into an incredibly hard, glossy shell that looks exactly like brand new porcelain. Consequently, your bathroom gets an instant upgrade that looks like it cost a fortune, though it actually cost very little.
| Project Factor | Complete Replacement | Professional Surface Refinishing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High ($3,000 - $8,000) | Very Low and Budget-Friendly |
| Time to Complete | Several Days or Weeks of Mess | Just One Single Day |
| Mess and Dust | Massive Demolition Dust Everywhere | Virtually None with Protective Masking |
| Durability | Depends on the New Tub Quality | Excellent with Proper Care and Cleaning |
As you can see from this handy table, resurfacing is the obvious winner for smart homeowners who value both their time and money.

Because we live and work nearby in the state of Kentucky, we treat every single customer like our next-door neighbor. You can trust our team to arrive on time, respect your property, and clean up every speck of dust before we leave. We love seeing the shocked, happy faces of our clients when they behold their transformed bathrooms for the first time.
To keep your glossy new finish looking spectacular, you must avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners like Comet or steel wool pads. These rough materials will scratch the protective topcoat and dull the gorgeous shine over time, which ruins the whole point of the upgrade. Instead, use mild dish soap or non-abrasive aerosol foams that gently wipe away dirt without scratching the surface.
Additionally, keeping your dripping faucets repaired is crucial because constant water leaks can eventually wear down the bonding agents. If you take care of your renewed fixture, the beautiful finish can easily last for over a decade. This simple maintenance routine ensures you get the absolute most value out of your smart investment.
Some companies will try to sell you expensive plastic shells that they glue right over your existing bathtub. However, these liners often trap moisture in the tiny gaps between the old tub and the new plastic cover. This trapped water becomes a breeding ground for nasty mold and mildew, which can create terrible odors in your bathroom.
Furthermore, these plastic liners feel cheap and bouncy under your feet, which does not feel very luxurious when you take a shower. Our spray-on coating process avoids this problem entirely by bonding directly to the solid original structure of your tub. You get a solid, rock-hard surface that feels premium and looks completely seamless.
Are you ready to stop squinting at those ugly stains and finally enjoy a bright, clean bathing space?

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 Simpsonville, 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.
