The South is full of good tubs wearing bad surfaces. We fix the surface and leave the tub.
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 probably stare at that stained, peeling tub every morning while brushing your teeth. It ruins the whole vibe of your bathroom space, right?
Thinking about a full renovation brings up nightmares of dust, noise, and massive bills. But what if you could refresh that surface without pulling out a single tile or pipe?
Getting a fresh finish on your aging basin is the secret to a high-end look without the stress. It saves you tons of cash and keeps your home peaceful.
Most people assume that an ugly, chipped surface means the unit is trash. You might be surprised to learn that the underlying structure is usually perfectly solid and durable.
Replacing a cast iron or heavy steel fixture is an absolute chore that costs a fortune. Why go through that when you can just make it look new?
This process involves cleaning, etching, and spraying on a specialized bonding agent that sticks like glue. You get a smooth, shiny, and easy-to-clean surface that feels brand new under your skin.
Think about the time you save by skipping the demolition phase entirely. You avoid weeks of construction workers stomping through your hallway.
Your bathroom stays usable almost immediately after the smell dissipates and the layer cures. It is the perfect solution for anyone who hates long projects.

High-quality materials provide a level of satisfaction that lasts. You will love the way it catches the light after the job is finished.
The coating acts as a shield against moisture and soap scum buildup. You spend less time scrubbing and more time enjoying your morning routine.
Maybe you live in a place like the South, USA, where character homes are everywhere. These houses often feature beautiful old iron basins that deserve to be saved.
With a median household income that varies across the region, you probably appreciate smart spending. This service lets you upgrade your home value without breaking the bank.

Most homes in this corner of the country have seen a lot of history. Keeping that original hardware preserves the soul of your living space while adding modern convenience.
First, you reach out to get a free estimate for the project. A pro visits your site to check the condition of the existing coating.
This inspection helps them determine if there are any cracks or deep rust spots. They use specific tools to ensure the surface is prepped correctly for the new layers.
Next, they mask off all your fixtures and walls to protect your property. Precision is the name of the game here, and they do not cut corners.
You will notice how they use high-powered fans to keep the air moving during the application. This keeps the environment safe and ensures a perfect, even spray across the whole surface.
You might wonder if the finish will chip away like cheap paint. Proper prep work ensures that the new layer fuses with the base material.
What about those persistent yellow stains from hard water? The fresh application covers those up completely, leaving you with a crisp, white basin.
Is it smelly during the process? There is a strong odor while the coating dries, but it fades away quickly with proper ventilation.
Does it feel different than the original porcelain? It feels smooth and solid, offering a high degree of luxury without the coldness of old, worn-out material.
Why stick to basic white if you want something bold? You can choose from various shades to match your current decor or tile colors.
Maybe a soft off-white or a light grey would brighten up a dim bathroom space. This customization lets you express your personality throughout your home.
You also choose the finish, from a high-gloss shine to a subtle satin look. It is all about what makes you happy when you walk into the room.
You hold the key to how long your new finish lasts after the crew leaves. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges that could scratch the surface over time.
Stick to mild soaps and soft microfiber cloths for your daily cleaning routine. This simple habit keeps the surface looking pristine for many years.
Most people find that a gentle rinse after every use prevents soap buildup entirely. That is a small effort for a massive gain in appearance.

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.
