A dull or chipped tub in Barataria 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 at that dated, chipped tub. Since replacing it costs a fortune and takes days of noisy mess, you might feel completely stuck. Fortunately, our local team brings that factory-fresh shine back to your old tub in just a few hours.
Indeed, we specialize in a smart, budget-friendly surface restoration process that saves you thousands of dollars. By spraying a high-tech, durable liquid acrylic coating over your existing fixture, we erase years of stains and ugly scratches. This means you get a sparkling, clean tub without dealing with messy plumbing work or broken tiles.
Actually, many homeowners do not realize that their old cast iron or steel tub is way tougher than modern plastic replacements. Instead of throwing away a solid piece of history, you can let us apply our industrial-grade bonding agents to make it look brand new. Right now, we are offering free on-site estimates to help you plan your project with zero stress.
To begin with, let us look at the real math behind a traditional bathroom remodel. Demolishing an old tub usually damages the surrounding walls, which forces you to hire expensive tile setters and plumbers. On top of that, you could be without a working shower for a week or even longer.
Consequently, choosing to refinish the existing surface keeps your daily routine running smoothly. Our special bonding process takes less than a day, which means you can start bathing in your shiny tub almost immediately. This smart decision lets you spend your hard-earned money on other fun home projects.
Moreover, the environmental benefit of keeping your old fixture out of the local landfill is huge. Because we work right on-site, we do not have to haul heavy waste through your hallways and scrape up your doorframes. We simply mask off your space, set up our professional ventilation systems, and get to work.
First, we clean the old surface with specialized, heavy-duty solutions to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. This critical step ensures that our new coatings will stick permanently without any peeling down the road. After that, we carefully repair any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks with a waterproof filler.
Next, we apply a proprietary chemical bonding agent that acts like a microscopic glue between the old porcelain and the new finish. Then, we spray several coats of a high-performance acrylic urethane topcoat using professional spray equipment. This creates a deep, glossy luster that mimics the original factory finish perfectly.
Finally, we let the new surface cure into a rock-hard, non-porous shield that resists stains and mold. For your peace of mind, we have put together a quick comparison table to show how this process stacks up against buying new.
| Feature | Our Specialized Refinishing Process | Traditional Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Project Cost | Very affordable, usually saving up to 75% | Expensive due to labor, plumbing, and tile work |
| Time to Complete | Usually done in 4 to 6 hours | Can drag on for 3 to 7 days |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal, we mask everything and ventilate | Heavy demolition dust and debris throughout the house |
| Expected Lifespan | 10 to 15 years with proper basic care | Long-lasting but requires periodic recaulking |

Because the local humidity in Barataria, Louisiana (LA), USA can make bathroom maintenance a real chore, our non-porous finish is a lifesaver. This smooth new barrier stops mold, mildew, and stubborn hard water stains from trapping themselves in old, worn-out porcelain pores. This makes cleaning your bathroom incredibly easy, requiring nothing more than a quick wipe with a mild, non-abrasive soap.
Naturally, you might wonder if your specific fixture is too far gone for us to save. Fortunately, we can successfully restore cast iron, pressed steel, fiberglass, and even modern acrylic tubs. Even if your tub has some rusted spots around the drain, our technicians can patch and seal those areas beautifully.
However, if your tub is physically cracked all the way through the main support structure, we will tell you honestly. We believe in absolute transparency, so we never promise a fix that will not stand the test of time. Our goal is to give you a gorgeous, durable finish that makes you smile every time you walk into the room.
Once we finish our magic, keeping that brilliant shine alive is incredibly simple. All you need to do is avoid harsh, abrasive cleaners like bleach or scrubbing powders that can scratch the glossy surface. Instead, we recommend using gentle dish soap or mild spray cleaners with a soft sponge.
Additionally, keeping your dripping faucets repaired prevents mineral deposits from building up over time. If you take these easy steps, your restored fixture will look absolutely stunning for more than a decade. It is truly the easiest way to enjoy a clean, modern bathroom without the massive headache of a construction zone.

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 Barataria, 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.
