A dull or chipped tub in Algiers 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 look at that stained bathing unit every morning and feel total despair? Well, your old bathroom fixture can shine like a brand new one without draining your wallet. This local service fixes chips and dull finishes right in Orleans Parish.
Most folks in the 50,995 resident neighborhood think replacing a tub costs a fortune. However, our specialized chemical bonding process saves you loads of cash. Which means you get a gorgeous bathing vessel for a fraction of retail prices.
Pulling out a cast iron tub destroys your tile floors and bathroom walls. This destructive demolition creates massive headaches and endless dust storms. Instead, our crew sprays a hard-wearing acrylic coating right over your existing basin.
That protective barrier gives you a glossy finish that resists everyday soap scum. On top of that, the entire project finishes in just one afternoon. This lets you enjoy your upgraded bathroom without waiting weeks for contractors.
Old porcelain develops microscopic pits where nasty mold loves to hide. Because of this, scrubbing becomes a daily chore that never truly works. You deserve a smooth surface that wipes clean with mild dish soap.
Ignoring minor cracks usually leads to water leaking underneath the subfloor. Consequently, you might face expensive structural rot down the road. Fixing the surface early protects your home investment from hidden water damage.
First, we scrub the old surface using industrial etching compounds to remove dirt. Then, workers apply a high-grade bonding agent called primer to grip the porcelain. This careful prep work ensures your new finish never peels off.
Next, we spray multiple layers of aliphatic polyurethane using an HVLP turbine system. This equipment lays down a glass-smooth coat without leaving brush marks behind. Ultimately, you get a luxurious soaking spot that feels great against your skin.
Median household incomes in the area mean people watch their budgets closely. Therefore, keeping renovation costs low matters immensely to local homeowners. Our transparent pricing model ensures you never face hidden fees or surprise charges.
Comparing our services to full bathroom remodeling shows massive savings right away. Plumbers and tile installers charge thousands of dollars just for labor alone. Meanwhile, our targeted surface restoration costs a tiny fraction of that amount.
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | High Expense | One to Two Weeks |
| Our Surface Revival | Low Expense | Just One Day |
Every home in the 70114 and 70131 ZIP codes qualifies for our rapid dispatch. Now is the best time to request your complimentary cost evaluation. This zero-risk consultation gives you exact numbers before any work begins.
Some skeptics believe sprayed finishes will peel off during normal daily use. Yet, our advanced bonding primers weld the new coating to the old porcelain. This creates a permanent bond that withstands heavy scrubbing and hot water.
Others worry about harsh chemical odors filling up their entire living space. Fortunately, our technicians use powerful ventilation fans to exhaust fumes outside immediately. This keeps your indoor air fresh and safe for your family and pets.
Harsh abrasive powders will scratch even the hardest factory-applied porcelain finishes. Because of this, you should always use gentle liquid cleaners on your updated basin. Simple routines keep that glossy shine looking fresh for many years.
Dropping heavy tools inside the tub can still cause deep chips in the coating. Thankfully, our team can easily patch those accidental impacts during quick service visits. This means your investment stays protected against everyday household mishaps.
Living in the Pelican State means dealing with high humidity inside older bathrooms. That moisture often causes ugly rust stains around the metal drain and overflow plate. Our crew treats those rusted areas with rust inhibitors before spraying the topcoat.
Reviving your worn-out plumbing fixtures boosts overall property value instantly. Prospective buyers always inspect bathrooms closely when touring local houses for sale. Showing off a spotless soaking tub makes a fantastic impression on anyone.
Standard bright white remains the most popular choice for most modern bathroom designs. However, custom tinted options let you match existing tiles and vanity colors. This flexibility gives you total control over your final interior aesthetic.
Matching your style brings immense satisfaction every time you step into the room. Updating outdated colors modernizes your entire house without expensive demolition work. You will love how a simple color change brightens up a gloomy space.

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 Algiers, 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.

The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
