A dull or chipped tub in Sweet Home 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.

We want to help you fall in love with your bathroom all over again. By making one short call, you can grab a completely free estimate for your project. Let us show you how simple and cheap a total bathroom transformation can actually be.
Many homeowners confuse replacing a fixture with simply giving it a professional facelift. This specialized service involves applying a durable, high-gloss synthetic coating over your existing cast iron or steel tub. First, we strip away the old, failing layers of paint and DIY patch kits that never actually worked.
Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks that make your bath look ancient. After preparing the surface with a molecular bonding agent, we spray on a premium topcoat. This creates a gorgeous, porcelain-like luster that bonds directly to the original structure on a chemical level.
Essentially, you get the look and feel of a brand-new fixture without the heavy construction. This smart update resists stains and stands up to daily use for years to come. Plus, you avoid the headache of waiting weeks for contractors to finish tearing up your floorboards.
You might see those cheap refinishing kits at your local home improvement store and think it looks easy. However, those roll-on epoxy products often peel off in sheets after just a few hot showers. They lack the industrial strength of professional bonding agents and require precise ventilation that homeowners cannot easily set up.
Without the proper chemical etching steps, the new paint simply will not stick to old porcelain. Our crew uses commercial-grade spray guns and safety gear to ensure a perfectly smooth, bubble-free finish. Investing in professional work saves you from having to pay someone to scrape off a failed DIY attempt later.
To give you a better idea of how these two paths compare, we put together a quick breakdown:
| Feature | Professional Surface Restoration | Hardware Store DIY Kits |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | Lasts 10 to 15 years with proper care | Typically peels within 6 to 12 months |
| Finish Quality | High-gloss, smooth spray finish | Streaky brush marks and uneven texture |
| Prep Work | Acid etching and commercial repairs | Basic sanding with sandpaper |
| Time Required | Completed in 4 to 6 hours | Days of drying and multiple coats |
Choosing to restore your existing fixtures keeps heavy, non-biodegradable cast iron out of our local landfills. Which means you are making an eco-friendly choice while also keeping your hard-earned money in your wallet. On top of that, the entire process is incredibly fast compared to a traditional remodel.
Most projects take less than five hours from the moment we walk in to the final cleanup. This lets you use your bathroom again in just a day or two instead of waiting weeks. You also avoid the dust, noise, and strangers wandering through your home for a month.
We take pride in helping families update their homes without breaking the bank. Whether your tub is an outdated 1970s pink or just covered in stubborn hard water stains, we can fix it. Our durable finishes make cleaning a breeze because dirt cannot stick to the non-porous surface anymore.
We love serving the wonderful folks living in this quiet corner of Pulaski County. Our service area covers the charming community near the capital city, which has a cozy population of 849 residents. We understand the unique historic homes found throughout the 72164 ZIP code area.
Many houses around here have classic, sturdy fixtures that are definitely worth saving rather than replacing. With a local median household income of around $31,000, saving money on home repairs is incredibly important for everyone. We strive to offer top-notch home improvements that fit comfortably within your family budget.
Because we live and work nearby, we can easily drive out to your property for a quick look. We treat your home with the utmost respect and leave our workspace spotless when we finish. Supporting local businesses means you get personalized care and real, honest handshakes every single time.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective plastic and tape to protect your floors. This step prevents any overspray or dust from settling on your vanity, toilet, or walls. Then, we set up a powerful exhaust fan to pull fumes out through the nearest window.
After that, we apply a special cleaning agent to dissolve decades of soap scum and body oils. This deep cleaning reveals the true condition of the original enamel so we can spot any hidden damage. If we find any rust spots around the drain, we grind them down and fill them with waterproof resin.
Once the surface is completely dry and prepped, we apply our exclusive primer coats. This layer acts like glue, ensuring the final acrylic polyurethane topcoat fuses perfectly with the old surface. Finally, we spray multiple layers of gloss to create that deep, rich, factory-like shine you want.
To keep your renewed tub looking beautiful, you must avoid abrasive cleaners like bleach or scrubbing powders. These harsh chemicals can dull the shiny finish over time and cause microscratches that trap dirt. Instead, we recommend using mild dish soap or gentle, non-abrasive bathroom sprays with a soft sponge.
It is also a good idea to fix leaky faucets quickly because dripping water can eventually erode the new coating. Also, try to avoid leaving wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting on the ledge constantly. Following these simple steps ensures your beautiful new surface stays bright and clean for over a decade.

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 Sweet Home, 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.
