A dull or chipped tub in Southside 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.
Maybe you look at your old tub every morning and feel a bit disappointed by those ugly stains. Fortunately, our team of skilled local technicians can restore that worn-out, faded surface to its original shine in just a few hours. This means you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project just to get a fresh, clean look.
Actually, many homeowners do not realize that the solid cast iron or steel fixture they already own is much better than cheap modern plastic replacements. By choosing to apply a durable, high-gloss protective coating over the existing structure, you save a mountain of cash while keeping sturdy materials out of the local landfill. Now you can finally enjoy a beautiful, sparkling bathing space that looks brand new without the headache of major construction.
To make things even better, we offer a completely free estimate right at your doorstep so you know the exact cost before we start. This lets you plan your budget with total confidence and zero pressure. Simply reach out to us today to schedule your assessment and take the first step toward a brighter, cleaner home.
To understand how this process works, you have to look at the chemistry behind the bonding agents we use. First, we meticulously clean the area with specialized acid-free compounds to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This prepares the surface so the new materials can stick properly without peeling later.
After that, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or unsightly cracks with a premium waterproof filler that cures rapidly. Which means the foundation becomes perfectly smooth and ready for the next crucial phase. We then apply an advanced molecular bonding agent that acts like a super-glue between the old porcelain and the new finish.
Finally, our technicians spray several coats of a high-tech acrylic urethane topcoat using specialized high-volume, low-pressure equipment. This advanced technique ensures a flawless, mirror-like gloss that resists impacts and stands up to daily wear. You get a thick, durable barrier that seals out moisture and prevents mold from taking root in porous older surfaces.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Duration | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | Very High | 1 to 2 Weeks | Extremely Dusty |
| Acrylic Liner Installation | Medium-High | 1 to 2 Days | Moderate |
| Professional Refinishing | Very Low | 4 to 6 Hours | Virtually None |
Living in this beautiful part of the state means you appreciate honest work and great value for your hard-earned money. With a local median household income of around $71,224, residents here know how to make smart financial decisions that protect their property values. Our specialized restoration process fits perfectly into this mindset by offering top-tier results at a fraction of standard remodeling prices.
Specifically, our service area covers the charming community of Southside, Alabama, where we regularly help neighbors update their older homes. Whether you live in the main historic pockets or the newer developments, our mobile service units come directly to you fully equipped. We know the local water conditions and how the climate affects household fixtures, which helps us customize our coatings for maximum durability.
Because the local population sits at about 8,788 residents, we treat every single client like a next-door neighbor rather than just another invoice number. We arrive on time, respect your property, and clean up every speck of dust before we leave. This personal touch has made us the go-to choice for homeowners who want premium quality without the corporate hassle.
Sometimes it looks tempting to grab a cheap epoxy pack from the local big-box store and try to brush it on yourself over the weekend. However, those retail products lack the industrial-strength bonding agents that only certified professionals can purchase. This usually leads to the coating peeling off in large sheets within just a few months of use.
On top of that, applying these chemicals without professional ventilation gear can expose your family to extremely strong, lingering odors. Our team utilizes heavy-duty exhaust fans that safely pull all fumes out of your home during the application process. This keeps your indoor air clean and allows you to use the bathroom again in a remarkably short amount of time.
Once we finish our work, maintaining that gorgeous shine is actually much easier than scrubbing an old, porous porcelain surface. This lets you skip the harsh abrasive powders and bleach, which actually scratch and dull the finish over time. Instead, you simply wipe the surface with a mild, non-abrasive liquid soap and a soft microfiber cloth.
Additionally, we recommend avoiding leaving wet bottles or damp washcloths sitting in the corners for days on end. This simple habit prevents moisture from getting trapped and keeps the surface looking pristine for many years to come. By following these easy guidelines, you can expect your newly restored fixture to remain bright and beautiful for up to a decade.
When you contact us, we schedule a convenient time to visit your home and inspect the condition of your current bathroom setup. This allows us to spot hidden issues like rust under the drain or soft spots in the surrounding walls before we begin. We then provide you with a written, no-obligation quote that clearly explains every step of the project.
On the day of the job, our friendly technician carefully masks off your floors, walls, and vanity to protect them from any overspray. This attention to detail guarantees that the only thing we change in your bathroom is the color and quality of your tub. We take pride in our precision and treat your living space with the utmost care and respect.
Indeed, our entire application process usually takes less than five hours from the time we unpack our tools to the final cleanup. Which means you can skip the weeks of dusty construction, noisy hammering, and plumbers walking through your hallways. You regain full access to your freshly updated bathroom the very next day, saving you time and stress...

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 Southside, 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.
