From one end of Arkansas 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.
That ugly, stained basin in your bathroom probably makes you shudder every single morning. Fortunately, you can easily restore its original shine and smooth texture without paying for an expensive, dusty demolition crew. Our local team specializes in giving these old fixture surfaces a gorgeous, durable new coating right in your home.
By choosing this smart update, you will save thousands of dollars compared to buying a brand-new tub. We provide a completely free, upfront price estimate to help you plan your project with confidence. Let us bring back the bright, clean look your family deserves.
Many homeowners assume that buying a new basin is the easiest way to handle ugly stains. However, yank out an old cast iron or steel tub and you will quickly realize the hidden costs. You have to pay plumbers, tile setters, and even trash haulers just to get the job done. That quick swap suddenly turns into a massive, multi-day renovation project that ruins your peace of mind.
On top of that, you might damage your surrounding walls and flooring during the messy removal process. This means extra repairs that you did not budget for. Our specialized surface restoration process completely avoids this chaos by keeping your original fixture right where it belongs. We work fast, keep your home clean, and deliver a sparkling finish that looks identical to a brand-new showroom model.
To make things even better, the modern materials we use are incredibly tough and resist chips. This lets you enjoy a beautiful, glossy wash area for many years with very little maintenance. You will get to skip the construction headache and keep your hard-earned cash in your wallet.
You might wonder how we turn a dull, scratched piece of porcelain into something so beautiful. First, we meticulously clean the old surface to strip away decades of soap scum, hard water deposits, and body oils. After that, we repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots so the base is perfectly flat and stable. This crucial step ensures the new coating bonds tightly to the original structure.
Next, we apply a high-tech bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old material and the new finish. Which means the topcoat will never peel or bubble under normal daily use. Finally, we spray multiple layers of a premium acrylic polymer coating using specialized ventilation equipment to keep your indoor air safe and fresh.
Once the process is complete, you just need to let it cure for a short period before jumping in. This durable finish feels incredibly smooth against your skin, providing great comfort during your warm baths. You will love how easy it is to wipe clean with a simple sponge and mild soap.

Our dedicated crew travels all over the beautiful Natural State to help homeowners fall in love with their bathrooms again. Whether you live in a bustling city center or a quiet rural county, we bring our mobile workshop straight to your driveway. We understand the unique charm of homes in Arkansas, where classic architecture deserves to be preserved rather than destroyed.
Because we operate locally, we can keep our travel costs low and pass those savings directly to you. This lets us offer incredibly competitive pricing for top-tier craftsmanship. We also respect your busy schedule and always arrive on time, ready to work hard.
Additionally, we love answering your questions about the process and how to care for your shiny new surface. We believe in honest communication, which is why our estimates are always detailed and contain zero hidden fees. You will know exactly what to expect before we even touch your bathroom fixtures.
It is tempting to grab a cheap box of paint from the local home improvement store to try and fix the issue yourself. However, those retail products lack the industrial-strength bonding agents that professional crews use. They often roll on unevenly, leaving ugly brush marks and bubbles that look terrible. Within a few months, the cheap paint starts to peel off in large sheets, creating a bigger mess than before.
When that happens, you have to pay even more to have the failed DIY coating chemically stripped away. Our professional equipment and commercial-grade compounds ensure a flawless, glassy look from day one. Save yourself the weekend headache and let our experienced hands do it right the first time.
To keep your restored fixture looking brand new, you should avoid abrasive scouring powders or harsh bleach products. These rough chemicals can dull the beautiful, protective shine over time and make the surface look matte. Instead, just use a gentle liquid dish soap or a specialized spray-and-wipe bathroom cleaner. This simple routine protects the outer layer and keeps it looking bright for a decade or more.
Another great tip is to avoid leaving wet washcloths or heavy bottles sitting on the ledge for weeks. Constant standing water can slowly weaken the bond of any coated surface. By keeping the area relatively dry between uses, you will preserve the gorgeous finish indefinitely.
Do not spend another day staring at a dingy, embarrassing bathroom that makes you feel uncomfortable in your own home. Our friendly, experienced technicians are ready to visit your property and evaluate your project. We will inspect your worn-out basin, explain your color options, and give you a written quote on the spot.
This estimate is completely free of charge, and you are under absolutely no obligation to hire us. We believe our quality craftsmanship, stellar local reputation, and affordable pricing speak for themselves. Take the first step toward a cleaner, brighter home by reaching out to us today!
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.
