From one end of Texas 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.
You want your old bathroom to look brand new without spending a massive fortune today. Well, refinishing your worn-out heavy wash basin is the fastest secret to getting that fresh shine right now. Requesting a free project estimate will set you on the right path instantly...
Honestly, tearing out an old heavy fixture creates a massive mess inside your house. First off, smashin up old tile walls will send dirty dust all over your hall carpet. Honestly, I learned this the hard way years ago when my buddy tried yankin his cast iron tub out with a crowbar. That heavy monster ripped a huge hole in his drywall! Besides that, you gotta pay huge dump fees just to throw away heavy porcelain trash.
Now, hiring plumbers to move old rusty drain pipes costs tons of extra money. Naturally, your budget blows up before you even pick a new design. In fact, buying brand new replacement units usually means buying cheap plastic stuff that feels flimsy under your feet. On top of that, custom tile work takes weeks to finish up. However, keeping your original fixture saves you big bucks and crazy headaches down the road.
Which means saving the solid original fixture is just a smarter move for your wallet. Truly, older basins were built like tanks compared to the soft plastic junk sold nowadays. For example, those antique cast iron beauties hold hot water heat way longer during long relaxing soaks. In addition, you get to skip dealing with noisy construction crews stomping through your hallway for weeks.
| Basin Upgrade Option | Average Work Time | Mess Factor | Total Relative Cost | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full Fixture Replacement | 4 to 7 Days | Major Dust Chaos | High Expense | |
| Professional Surface Coating | 3 to 5 Hours | Low Dirt Impact | Budget Friendly |
Basically, our custom spray service coats your old scratched porcelain with a brand new synthetic rock-hard skin. First, we scrub away all that nasty green lime scale and soap scum build-up using strong liquid cleansers. After that, we apply a special acid etch compound to make tiny micro-grooves on the slick surface. This lets our high-tech sticky primer bond directly onto the raw bottom layer without peeling off.
Consequently, the new shiny liquid acrylic layer chemically welds itself to your old basin floor. Plus, we use fancy exhaust fans blowing out your window so those strong chemical smells don't stink up your bedrooms. Next up, we spray multiple thin layers of topcoat glaze using pressurized air guns. Therefore, the finished glossy shell looks just like factory glass once it hardens completely up.
This lets you enjoy a glowing clean washing spot without buying expensive replacement parts. Furthermore, the fresh non-porous finish blocks deep dark mildew from growing inside tiny microscopic surface cracks. As a matter of fact, washing away dirt becomes super easy with just a soft sponge and normal liquid soap.
Maybe someone dropped a heavy metal hammer and chipped off a huge chunk of your shiny white finish. Worrying about those ugly dark brown rust spots on your tub bottom keeps you up at night... Luckily, waterproof filler putties can smooth out those deep dents before any topcoats get sprayed on.
To start, we sand down all the rough sharp edges until everything feels completely flat to your hand. Afterwards, waterproof epoxy patches fill up those deep gouges so water cannot seep inside your iron core. So, rust stops eating away at your old metal structure beneath the wet surface.
This means your whole room stays looking fancy while keeping its strong original structure underneath. Afterwards, we blend the fresh white color perfectly so nobody can tell where the old ugly damage used to be. Suddenly, your whole washroom feels cozy and clean again for your evening bath.
Actually, taking care of your newly sprayed shiny basin is super easy if you know the simple ground rules. First, toss out those rough gritty scouring powders and harsh wire scrub brushes immediately. Instead, grab a plain soft microfiber cloth paired with basic mild dish soap to wash down the smooth walls.
Otherwise, harsh harsh chemicals like bleach can slowly dull down that brilliant high-gloss shine over time. For instance, leaving leaky dripping faucets running constantly can erode the fresh synthetic layer around your drain opening. On top of that, buying a cheap suction-cup rubber mat can trap water underneath and cause tiny ugly bubbles to rise.
Which means spending two minutes wiping down the wet walls keeps your shiny surface looking brand new for many years. Additionally, staying away from aggressive hair dyes inside the basin prevents strange permanent dark spots on your bottom floor. Ultimately, simple routine care protects your smart investment and keeps your bathroom looking top notch daily.
Living in the giant Lone Star State means we appreciate tough stuff that stands up to heavy everyday family use. Down here in the southern part of the country, regional homes often have super sturdy old building foundations with solid original plumbing. With over 30 million neighbors living across these broad lands, saving time on house upgrades is a huge priority for busy folks.
Actually, whether your house sits near local median income neighborhoods or out in sprawling suburban ZIP codes, keeping cash in your bank account is always smart. Besides, spending thousands of dollars on tiny demolition projects makes zero sense when a simple spray application fixes everything fast. Furthermore, quick surface upgrades let you list your rental property or family house on the market way faster.
Which lets you spend your hard-earned dollars on fun weekend road trips instead of paying expensive tile contractors. To be honest, seeing the bright happy look on a homeowner's face after we pull off the masking tape is the best part of this job. Simply put, getting a quick non-invasive facelift gives you that sleek luxury vibe without breaking your bank account.
First off, getting your accurate cost estimate takes just a quick simple chat with our friendly crew. Simply take a couple clear photos of your damaged worn-out basin on your smartphone camera. Next, send those pictures over so we can inspect the current condition of your porcelain finish.
So, we immediately calculate a clear fair price quote without adding any hidden surprise fees later on. On top of that, our mobile work crew brings all the modern high-pressure spray gear directly to your front driveway. Meaning, you do not have to lift a single heavy finger or buy expensive specialty tools from the store.
This lets you relax on your comfy couch while we turn your dull old wash basin into a bright sparkling diamond. What are you waiting for? Reach out today to claim your completely free project estimate and give your home the brilliant clean update it truly deserves!
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.
