A dull or chipped tub in Teays Valley 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.
Your old tub looks pretty rough these days. Between the ugly stains and that faded color from decades ago, taking a bath feels less like a spa day and more like a chore. Fortunately, you do not have to tear out your walls or spend thousands of dollars on a messy bathroom remodel just to get a clean, fresh surface.
By choosing to coat your existing fixture with a specialized, high-gloss protective layer, you can make your whole bathroom look brand new in just a few hours. This smart process seals up old chips and restores that brilliant shine without the headache of plumbing work. Our local crew handles everything from prep to the final polish so you can enjoy a bright, clean wash space by tomorrow.
You probably want to know how much this budget-friendly update will cost for your home. We would love to come out and give you a completely free estimate today. This pressure-free visit lets us inspect your current setup and show you exactly how we can save you serious cash.
First, we clean the old porcelain or fiberglass with industrial-strength cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures the new materials bond perfectly to the original structure. If we skip this deep clean, the new finish might peel off down the road, which is why we take our time to do it right.
Next, we repair any deep scratches, rust spots, or ugly chips using a premium waterproof filler. This patch work creates a completely flat, seamless area that feels totally smooth to the touch. You will not even be able to tell where the old damage used to be once we finish.
Finally, we spray a high-tech bonding agent followed by several coats of an incredibly durable topcoat. This specialized liquid acrylic hardens into a beautiful, glossy shell that looks exactly like brand-new ceramic. Because of this advanced chemistry, your fixture gets a second life that lasts for years with simple, gentle cleaning.
Choosing to update your existing wash basin saves you a massive amount of time and money. Buying a new unit might seem cheap at the store, but hiring plumbers, tearing out drywall, and paying disposal fees adds up fast. Our on-site service cuts out all those extra steps to keep your hard-earned money in your pocket.
On top of the financial savings, you avoid the absolute nightmare of living in a construction zone for weeks. Our process takes less than a day, meaning your home stays quiet and clean. You can even use your upgraded shower the very next day without any dusty cleanup to worry about.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple table showing how our refinishing service stacks up against a full remodel:
| Factor | Our Refinishing Service | Full Replacement Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, fraction of retail cost | Extremely expensive with high labor fees |
| Time to Complete | Usually finished in 4 to 6 hours | Can take a week or more of noisy work |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal, we mask off the entire room | Heavy drywall dust and plaster debris |
| Lifespan | 10 to 15 years with proper care | Long-lasting but requires major structural changes |

If you are ready to transform your outdated space, we are ready to help. Our friendly team will visit your home to provide a detailed, honest quote at zero cost to you. This free estimate gives you all the facts so you can make the best decision for your budget.
After we pack up our tools and leave you with a gorgeous, shiny basin, maintaining that gloss is incredibly easy. You must avoid abrasive scouring powders or harsh scrub pads because those rough materials will scratch the new protective layer. Instead, simple dish soap or mild spray cleaners will keep the surface looking brand new with very little effort.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet washcloths or bottles of shampoo sitting on the ledge for days. Standing water can eventually weaken the bond over time, so keeping the area relatively dry helps preserve the shine. Taking these tiny precautions ensures your investment looks pristine for over a decade.
Should you ever have questions about care, our local team is always here to offer helpful advice. We pride ourselves on top-tier customer service long after the actual job is complete. Contact us today to secure your free quote and take the first step toward a brighter, cleaner bathroom!
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 Teays Valley, 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.
