A dull or chipped tub in Smithville 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.
You can transform your worn-out bathroom fixtures today without spending thousands of dollars on messy demolition work. Our professional resurfacing team brings old, stained tubs back to life with a fresh, durable finish that looks brand new. Request your free estimate today to see how affordable your dream bathroom can be.
Let us face it because we all know that ripping out an old cast iron or steel tub is a complete nightmare. This grueling process usually involves smashing tiles, dealing with hidden water damage, and paying crazy disposal fees. Instead of going through that headache, our specialized restoration service coats your current fixture with a high-tech liquid acrylic. You get to keep your sturdy old tub while enjoying a shiny, clean surface that looks like it just came from the showroom floor.
Naturally, you might wonder if this process actually holds up over the years. We use industrial-grade bonding agents that fuse directly to your original porcelain or fiberglass. Consequently, this creates a seamless barrier that resists chipping, peeling, and yellowing even with daily use. You save a mountain of cash and skip the weeks of dusty construction noise in your home.
Specifically, this budget-friendly update works wonders for homeowners looking to modernize their space on a budget. Our customers in the DeKalb County area often cannot believe how much brighter their entire bathroom looks after we finish. Truly, it is the ultimate smart home improvement hack that keeps your hard-earned money in your pocket.
First, we meticulously clean the surface using specialized acid-free cleaners to remove decades of soap scum and mineral deposits. After that, we carefully repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots using a waterproof polyester filler. This preparation phase is the most critical step because it ensures the new coating sticks forever.
Next, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding primer across the entire surface of the fixture. This chemical bridge acts like superglue between the old porcelain and the new high-gloss protective finish. Finally, we spray multiple layers of a premium topcoat using a professional high-volume, low-pressure system for a flawless look.
| Step of Process | What We Do | Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Prep | Etch and clean the old porcelain surface | Removes all hidden oils and soap scum |
| Surface Repair | Fill in chips, cracks, and rust spots | Creates a perfectly smooth, level surface |
| Bonding Agent | Apply high-tech molecular primer spray | Prevents peeling and ensures long-term durability |
| Topcoat Application | Spray multiple coats of acrylic urethane | Provides a beautiful, high-gloss shine |
Once we pack up our gear, you only have to wait a mere twenty-four hours before taking a relaxing bath. This quick turnaround time means your daily routine suffers almost zero disruption. Compared to a full bathroom remodel that takes weeks, our system gets you back in action in a single day.
Maybe you saw those cheap paint-on kits at the local big-box hardware store and thought about trying it yourself. Honestly, those retail products are just simple epoxy paints that roll on with a brush and leave ugly streak marks. They usually start peeling off in giant sheets within a few short months, leaving you with an even bigger mess.
Our professional crew uses commercial ventilation equipment and chemical-grade materials that you simply cannot buy at a retail store. This heavy-duty gear allows us to apply a perfectly even, glass-like finish without any brush strokes or run lines. Plus, our high-grade coatings are designed to withstand hot water expansion without cracking over time.
Investing in a professional application means you only have to do this job once. We stand behind our craftsmanship because we know how much prep work goes into making these coatings last. You get peace of mind knowing your beautiful bathroom surface will look incredible for up to a decade.
Old heavy cast iron tubs are famous for keeping bathwater hot for a very long time. Sadly, their porcelain coatings can become dull, rough, and stained after decades of hard use. Our special process restores that original lustrous look while preserving the amazing heat retention of your heavy antique tub.
This means you do not have to hire three strong movers to haul a three-hundred-pound beast down your hallway. We do all the hard restoration work right where the fixture sits. You keep the historic charm of your home while enjoying a clean, germ-free surface.
Many newer homes feature lightweight one-piece shower units that can flex, crack, and fade over time. These thin plastic shells often develop unsightly yellow stains that no amount of scrubbing can ever remove. Fortunately, our advanced coatings work beautifully on fiberglass, bonding tightly to seal up those hairline cracks.
This structural sealing prevents water from leaking behind your walls and causing expensive mold problems. Your shower surround will look incredibly glossy and feel solid under your feet once again. It is a fantastic way to extend the lifespan of your modern bathroom insert.
We understand that home maintenance costs can add up quickly, especially when unexpected repairs pop up. With the median household income hovering around forty thousand dollars in our beautiful region, spending five grand on a new bathroom is not always realistic. Our affordable restoration service offers a premium look at a tiny fraction of replacement costs.
Our friendly local team treats your property with the utmost respect, masking off your walls and floors to prevent overspray. We also use strong exhaust fans to pull any chemical odors out of your house during the spraying process. We leave your bathroom spotless, taking all our trash with us when we head out.
You do not have to live with an embarrassing, stained bathroom that makes you cringe every time guests visit. Let us help you take pride in your home again with a simple, affordable upgrade. We love seeing the shocked looks on our clients' faces when they see the final sparkling transformation.

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 Smithville, 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.
