A dull or chipped tub in Bartlett 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.
Are you tired of looking at that stained and chipped bathtub in your bathroom? Fortunately, you can fix it without spending a fortune on a full tear-out remodel. This smart service saves your hard-earned cash while giving your washroom a fresh new face.
Maybe your old basin has seen better days and needs serious help. Yet replacing a heavy iron tub creates a massive mess in your home. Instead, our local crew in Shelby County comes right to your property to spray a tough new coating over the existing surface.
Now, you might wonder how this magic trick actually works in real life. Basically, we prep the area, fix any chips, and apply industrial-grade polymers. This lets you enjoy a brand-new-looking washing basin without any plumbing destruction.
When you live in a town of 58,828 residents, finding reliable contractors can feel stressful. Fortunately, our family-run crew brings years of hands-on practice straight to your doorstep. Each technician knows how to handle stubborn stains and peeling enamel with total confidence.
Meanwhile, the local median household income sits around $83,746, meaning every dollar matters to your family budget. Therefore, choosing a budget-friendly restoration instead of a costly replacement keeps your finances secure. You get top-tier results without breaking your bank account.
Furthermore, houses across the 38133 and 38134 ZIP codes often feature vintage porcelain basins that deserve a second chance. Instead of hauling those gorgeous vintage pieces to the dump, we restore their original gloss right on-site. This smart approach preserves the character of your home while upgrading your daily routine.
First, we scrub the entire basin to remove soap scum and stubborn mineral deposits. Then, our team etches the surface so the new bonding agents stick securely. This meticulous prep work ensures your fresh coating lasts for many years.
After that, we spray multiple layers of specialized acrylic urethane to form a brilliant shield. Consequently, your washing basin gains a gorgeous sheen that feels amazing to the touch. You can finally soak in absolute relaxation without staring at ugly rust spots.
Traditional remodeling projects tear up your floors and take weeks to complete. Conversely, our specialized coating service takes just one single day from start to finish. This dramatic time difference means you avoid living in a dusty construction zone.
Additionally, buying a brand-new tub requires hiring plumbers and paying expensive tile-setting fees. On the other hand, refinishing utilizes your existing structure and cuts total costs by up to seventy percent. Smart homeowners in Tennessee always pick the faster and cheaper route.
| Comparison Factor | Surface Renewal | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Project Duration | One single day | One to two weeks |
| Average Expense | Low and affordable | Extremely high costs |
| Plumbing Damage | Zero pipes touched | Major demolition required |
Through this comparison, you can see why restoring makes complete financial sense. Plus, you never have to worry about disposing of heavy cast iron in your backyard. We handle all the heavy lifting so you can relax.
Years of heavy usage eventually wear down the factory finish on older bathroom fixtures. Eventually, bare metal starts showing through the yellowed and porous glaze. Fortunately, our liquid application fills in all those microscopic pores instantly.
Sometimes previous owners used harsh chemical cleaners that permanently ruined the shiny top layer. Therefore, our team applies a neutralizing wash before spraying our proprietary bonding primer. This guarantees your newly sealed surface resists future peeling and cracking.
Iron minerals in your tap water leave nasty orange rings that refuse to scrub away. However, our chemical etching techniques lift those deep stains right out of the porous material. You receive a pristine white finish that looks straight out of a showroom.
Similarly, dropped heavy objects often cause unsightly chips and jagged cracks in the basin floor. Instead of ignoring those sharp edges, we inject durable waterproof fillers into every single hole. This stops leaks before they can rot your subfloor.
Once we finish our work, you must use gentle cleaning products to protect the fresh acrylic. Avoid abrasive scouring pads because they scratch the high-gloss finish over time. Instead, grab a soft microfiber cloth and mild dish soap for your weekly chores.
Additionally, fix any dripping faucets immediately to prevent mineral buildup from forming on your new drain. By taking these simple precautions, your resurfaced fixture will shine brightly for over a decade. Your morning routine stays smooth and hassle-free.
Furthermore, never let heavy metal buckets slam against the bottom surface during your cleaning tasks. Taking care of your investment guarantees maximum longevity and continuous daily joy. You deserve a gorgeous bathroom that stays beautiful year after year.

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 Bartlett, 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.
