A dull or chipped tub in West Gate 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.
Maybe you look at your bathroom every morning and just sigh. Those ugly, outdated colors from decades ago can really ruin your mood before you even brush your teeth. Fortunately, you do not have to spend a fortune on a massive demolition project to get a sparkling clean tub again. Our local team comes right to your door in the sunny Palm Beach County area to make your old fixture look brand new.
By choosing to refinish your existing tub, you save thousands of dollars compared to ripping it out. This smart decision also keeps heavy cast iron and fiberglass out of our local landfills. Which means you get a gorgeous bathroom while doing something good for the planet. Let us help you fall in love with your home all over again today.
Now, you might wonder how a simple surface update can hold up against daily scrubbing and splashing. The secret lies in our meticulous preparation and commercial-grade coating materials. We take pride in delivering a flawless, high-gloss finish that stands the test of time. To make things even better, we offer completely free onsite estimates to help you plan your budget.
Many homeowners assume that a chipped or stained basin is a goner. However, our specialized process breathes fresh life into tired porcelain, steel, and acrylic surfaces. We start by stripping away old DIY paint jobs and cleaning off years of soap scum. This ensures the new coating bonds perfectly to the original structure.
After we prep the area, we repair any deep scratches or rust spots that ruin the look. Following that step, we apply a premium primer designed for wet environments. This critical layer prevents future peeling and keeps moisture from sneaking underneath the new finish. You get peace of mind knowing the job is done right.
Finally, we spray on several coats of a high-tech acrylic polymer. This material cures into a rock-hard shell that looks exactly like shiny new porcelain. On top of that, it feels incredibly smooth to the touch. You will find yourself wanting to take a long, relaxing soak the very moment we finish.
Think about the nightmare of a traditional remodel for just a second. You have to hire plumbers, tile guys, and drywall contractors who will track dirt through your hallways. Additionally, the noise alone is enough to drive anyone crazy for weeks. Our hassle-free service avoids all of that chaos by completing the work in just one day.
To give you a clearer picture of the benefits, let us compare these two options directly.
| Comparison Factor | Our Restoration Service | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | Usually under 5 hours | One to two weeks of mess |
| Total Cost Involved | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Can easily cost thousands of dollars |
| Mess and Dust Level | Almost none, we mask everything | Heavy drywall dust and debris |
| Plumbing Modifications | No changes to pipes needed | Often requires expensive pipe moving |
This table clearly shows why so many smart homeowners choose to restore instead of replace. This lets you spend your hard-earned cash on other fun things like a weekend getaway or new decor. Why pay more for the exact same beautiful result?
Moreover, old vintage tubs are actually built much better than the cheap plastic ones sold today. Cast iron retains heat beautifully, keeping your bath water warm for a much longer time. By keeping your original fixture, you preserve that heavy-duty quality while enjoying a clean, modern look. It is truly the best of both worlds.
First, we protect your entire bathroom by masking off the walls, floors, and vanity with heavy paper. This step ensures that no overspray lands on your beloved tile or fixtures. We also set up a powerful exhaust fan to pull fumes out of the window. Your safety and comfort remain our top priorities throughout the workday.
Next, we use a specialized acid etching agent on porcelain or steel basins. This chemical process creates microscopic pores in the old glaze so the new finish can grab hold. If your tub is fiberglass, we use a different bonding agent specifically formulated for plastics. We never use a one-size-fits-all approach because every material behaves differently.
Once the prep work is complete, we use a professional HVLP spray system to apply the topcoats. This high-volume, low-pressure tool allows us to lay down an incredibly even layer without run marks. After a short curing period, your tub is ready for action. You will marvel at the glossy, glass-like reflection when we pack up our tools.
Maintaining your shiny new surface is actually much easier than cleaning an old, porous one. Because the new coating is completely non-porous, dirt and grime cannot grip onto it. This means you can say goodbye to harsh scrubbing brushes and abrasive powders. A quick wipe with a mild dish soap and a soft sponge is all it takes.
However, you must avoid using bleach or scratchy scouring pads on the restored finish. These harsh chemicals can dull the beautiful shine over time. By using gentle cleaners, you extend the lifespan of our work for many years to come. We always provide a detailed care sheet so you know exactly how to protect your investment.
Sometimes, people ask us if they can use suction-cup bath mats in their restored tubs. We advise against this because the cups can pull on the coating and cause damage. Instead, we can apply a permanent, slip-resistant texture to the bottom of the tub during the process. This built-in safety feature keeps you safe without ruining the gorgeous finish.

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 Gate, 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.
