From one end of South Carolina to the other, we bring tubs back to a bright finish without pulling a single one out.
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 tub looks pretty rough these days. Between the ugly stains and that weird outdated color from decades ago, you probably dread stepping into your bathroom. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to fix this annoying eyesore.
Our local team specializes in restoring worn-out bathroom fixtures to their former glory right inside your home. By choosing this smart alternative, you save tons of time and keep your hard-earned money in your wallet. We come directly to your place to deliver a shiny, durable finish that makes your tub look brand new again.
Imagine sliding into a sparkling clean basin that actually looks inviting. This budget-friendly home improvement trick works wonders for tired surfaces. Best of all, we offer a completely free estimate to help you plan your budget without any pressure.
First, we carefully prepare the entire area to ensure a flawless finish. Our crew cleans away all the soap scum, old caulk, and mineral deposits that built up over the years. This deep cleaning step is absolutely vital because the new coating needs a perfectly clean surface to bond with.
Next, we repair any unsightly chips, cracks, or deep scratches in the material. We patch these imperfections with specialized fillers so the surface feels completely smooth. This meticulous repair work ensures the final result looks totally seamless and professionally done.
After that, we apply a high-tech bonding agent followed by several coats of a premium acrylic resin. This process creates a incredibly strong defense against future wear and tear. You get a gorgeous, glossy finish that resists chipping and looks amazing for years.
Financially speaking, this service saves you a small fortune compared to traditional remodeling. Replacing a tub involves hiring plumbers, tearing out tiles, and dealing with tons of dusty trash. Our process avoids all that headache and finishes the job in just a few hours.
Time is another huge factor to consider when updating your home. A full bathroom remodel can easily drag on for weeks and leave you without a usable shower. With our efficient method, you can typically use your freshly coated tub again in just twenty-four hours.
Additionally, this option is much better for the environment. You keep a heavy piece of cast iron or fiberglass out of the local landfill. It feels great to make an eco-friendly choice that also upgrades your daily living space.
| Factor to Consider | Surface Restoration | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden fees |
| Project Duration | Completed in a single day | Can take several days or weeks |
| Mess and Dust | Very minimal and contained | Heavy construction debris and noise |
Looking at the data makes the decision pretty easy for most homeowners. You get the same beautiful look as a brand-new fixture but without the massive headache. It is the ultimate shortcut to a cleaner, brighter bathroom.
Naturally, we want to make sure you have all the facts before making a choice. Our friendly technicians are always ready to explain the process and answer your questions. We love helping folks find the most practical solutions for their home renovation needs.
Cast iron tubs are prime candidates for this specialized treatment. These heavy vintage fixtures are built like tanks but their porcelain outer layer wears down and loses its shine. We can easily restore that classic luster so your historic tub looks like a museum piece.
Fiberglass and acrylic units also respond beautifully to our restoration process. These modern materials tend to fade, yellow, or crack from daily use and harsh chemical cleaners. Our advanced coatings bond perfectly to these synthetic surfaces and seal up those annoying hairline cracks.
Even your surrounding wall tiles can get the same amazing facelift at the same time. If you hate your current tile color, we can coat the tiles and the tub together. This creates a clean, cohesive look that completely modernizes the entire room.
Maintaining your restored surface is actually incredibly simple. You just need to avoid abrasive scrubbers and harsh bleach products that can dull the shine over time. A soft sponge and some mild dish soap will keep it looking brand new with very little effort.
Regular cleaning prevents soap scum from building up and preserves the glossy topcoat. This simple routine ensures your tub stays bright and beautiful for a very long time. It is much easier to clean than a rough, worn-out surface that traps dirt in its pores.
We always provide detailed care instructions after we finish the job. Our team wants you to enjoy your beautiful bathroom for as long as possible. Taking good care of the finish protects your investment and keeps that brilliant shine alive.

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, 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.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
