A dull or chipped tub in West and East Lealman 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.
That ugly, stained bathroom fixture in your home does not need to go into a Pinellas County landfill. You can actually get a brilliant, glass-like finish on your existing setup for a fraction of the cost of a full remodel. Our team of local surface restoration pros comes right to your door to give you a free written estimate for this incredibly smart home upgrade.
Because let us be honest, ripping out an old cast iron or steel tub is an absolute nightmare that ruins your week. This fast and affordable alternative saves you thousands of dollars while completely erasing decades of rust, chips, and ugly outdated colors. We bring the ultimate factory-fresh look back to your bathroom in just a single afternoon.
First, we clean the old porcelain or fiberglass surface with specialized industrial prep agents to strip away decades of soap scum. This critical step ensures that the new coatings will bond at a molecular level rather than just sitting on top of the old grime. Many homeowners try cheap DIY paint kits from the big box stores, but those peeling messes always end up costing double to fix later.
Next, we repair every single chip, scratch, and deep ding using high-strength waterproof polyester fillers. You will not even be able to find where the old rust spots used to be once we finish sanding them flat. This meticulous prep work guarantees a perfectly flat, seamless foundation before we even think about opening our spray equipment.
Then, we apply a high-tech molecular bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor between the old tub and the new finish. After that, we spray multiple layers of a premium acrylic urethane topcoat that cures into a rock-hard, glossy shield. This sophisticated material mimics the original fired glaze of your fixture, giving you incredible durability and a stunning shine.
To help you understand the massive savings, we put together a quick comparison of what you can expect when choosing our specialized surface renewal process over a traditional demolition project.
| Project Expense | Full Bathroom Demolition | Our Specialized Surface Renewal |
|---|---|---|
| Average Material Cost | $800 - $3,000 (Tub, tile, plumbing) | Included in our service rate |
| Labor and Plumbing Fees | $1,500 - $4,000 (Hiring multiple contractors) | One affordable flat fee |
| Project Duration | 1 to 2 weeks of construction dust | Finished in less than 5 hours |
| Total Average Investment | $3,000 - $8,000+ | An incredibly small fraction of that |
Which means you keep your hard-earned money in your pocket while still getting a bathroom that looks like a luxury resort. On top of that, you avoid having dusty construction workers trampling through your hallways for two weeks straight. It is a total win for both your sanity and your wallet.
Living down here in our beautiful sunny peninsula with 21,753 residents, the extreme humidity can really play havoc on cheap paints. This is why we use premium commercial-grade materials specifically engineered to withstand our warm, wet coastal climate. Our finished surfaces resist mold, mildew, and yellowing from UV rays, making them perfect for local homes.
Now, if you look at the median household income of about $46,000 in this vibrant community, spending ten grand on a bathroom remodel just does not make sense. We proudly serve homeowners across the local area, including ZIP codes 33714 and 33709, with budget-friendly home improvements that actually last. You get a beautiful, modern space without taking out a second mortgage.
Naturally, we treat your home with the utmost respect by setting up professional ventilation systems to pull all overspray and fumes outside. We seal off the bathroom completely using heavy-duty plastic sheeting to protect your floors, mirrors, and nearby fixtures from any dust. You can relax knowing your property is safe in our highly experienced hands.
Perhaps you are tired of scrubbing those deep, rusty rings around the drain that never seem to go away no matter how hard you work. Those worn-down, porous surfaces act like a magnet for dirt, mold, and nasty bacteria that can threaten your family. Our smooth, non-porous finish seals all of that away, making your weekly cleaning chores a total breeze.
On top of that, old chipped porcelain can actually have sharp edges that scrape your skin when you are just trying to relax. We smooth out those hazardous spots so you can enjoy a safe, luxurious soak without any worries. It is all about restoring peace of mind along with the gorgeous aesthetic of your washroom.
This eco-friendly approach prevents hundreds of pounds of heavy cast iron and fiberglass from piling up in our local county landfills. Which means you are doing your part for our beautiful Florida ecosystem while still getting a stunning home upgrade. Why throw away a perfectly solid, heavy-duty vintage tub when we can make it look brand new?
Additionally, old-school tubs are often built much better than the flimsy plastic units you buy at the home improvement store today. By restoring the original fixture, you preserve that sturdy, high-quality structure that keeps your bathwater warm for much longer. You get the best of both worlds: historic durability and modern beauty.

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 West and East Lealman, 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.
