A dull or chipped tub in Thibodaux 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.
Do you stare at your worn-out tub and wish it looked brand new again? You can achieve a stunning visual refresh for your washroom right here in the heart of Lafourche Parish without spending a fortune on a total teardown.
Getting a pristine finish on your worn porcelain or fiberglass basin is easier than you think. By choosing a professional resurfacing process, you save massive amounts of money compared to a messy demolition. You keep your existing structure while gaining a smooth and glossy surface that shines like a diamond.
Actually, your old tub has seen better days and likely shows signs of chipping or persistent staining. These tiny cracks act like magnets for dirt and grime which makes cleaning feel like a losing battle. A high-quality coating creates a seamless barrier that keeps your space feeling fresh and sanitary.
Since you reside in a city where the median income sits around $34,375, you want to make smart choices with your hard-earned cash. Choosing to restore rather than replace lets you keep your savings in your pocket for other home projects. This smart move adds value to your property while keeping your daily routine simple.
Typically, the technician arrives and starts by deep cleaning the entire surface to remove decades of soap scum. They use special chemicals to ensure the new layer bonds perfectly to the base. This step is crucial because it prevents the finish from peeling or bubbling later on.
Once the cleaning phase finishes, the pro applies a bonding agent that acts like glue for the new material. You get a durable finish that resists water damage and daily wear for many years. It feels like getting a brand new fixture without any of the heavy lifting or plumbing headaches.
Most people find that replacing a tub involves removing doorways or damaging surrounding tiles. You avoid all that chaos by opting for this localized solution instead. Our method keeps your bathroom tiles intact while focusing strictly on the basin itself.
You might wonder if the smell or the mess becomes a problem during the work. We use advanced ventilation systems to keep your home air clear while we apply the new coating. This lets you relax knowing the job happens efficiently without disrupting your household rhythm for days on end.

Some folks believe that a new coat will just peel off after a few months of usage. This only happens if someone skips the preparation steps or uses cheap materials. When you work with pros who know the trade, the bond becomes incredibly strong and resistant to daily abuse.
Another myth suggests that you cannot change the color of your old yellowing tub. Actually, you have total control over the final look and can choose a brilliant bright white or a modern soft shade. This gives you the power to match your existing decor perfectly without buying new hardware.
Before the work begins, you should clear away all personal items like soaps and shampoos from the area. This helps the pro work quickly and keeps your belongings safe from any accidental splashes. Once the area is clear, the team handles the heavy prep work with ease.
Everything gets masked off with special tape and paper to protect your walls and floor. You can feel relieved knowing your bathroom stays clean and protected during the entire process. This attention to detail ensures that only your tub gets the transformation it deserves.
After the project wraps up, you only need mild cleaners to keep the shine looking great for years. Avoid using abrasive scrubbing pads that might scratch the smooth surface over time. Simply wiping it down with a soft cloth and a gentle soap keeps it in top condition.
This simple maintenance routine saves you hours of cleaning time every single month. Because the surface is non-porous, grime and soap scum slide right off with almost no effort. You spend less time scrubbing and more time enjoying a relaxing soak after a long day.

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 Thibodaux, 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.
