A dull or chipped tub in Bethania 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.

Replacing an old cast iron tub often involves ripping out tile, updating plumbing, and repairing drywall. That headache quickly drains your savings and leaves your home looking like a construction zone for days. Instead of dealing with that nightmare, our specialized chemical bonding process updates your fixture in just a few hours.
When you opt for this smart restoration, you keep your original quality fixture while updating its color to a modern bright white. This lets you spend your hard-earned money on other home improvements while still getting that clean, premium feel. On top of that, your new non-porous finish resists soap scum and makes weekly cleaning a breeze.
To give you a clearer picture of how this process stacks up against a full replacement, let us look at the real-world differences in time, cost, and hassle.
| Project Aspect | Complete Replacement | Professional Surface Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very high (often thousands) | Highly affordable and budget-friendly |
| Time to Complete | Several days to weeks | Usually completed in under five hours |
| Mess and Demolition | Extreme dust, noise, and debris | Virtually zero mess and no debris |
| Fixture Lifespan | New fixture quality varies | Adds up to ten years of pristine use |
First, we meticulously clean the entire area with specialized industrial cleaners to remove decades of soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits. This critical step ensures that our new high-performance coatings stick perfectly to the old substrate. After washing the surface, we carefully repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots with a waterproof filler.
Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically fuses the new finish to the old porcelain or acrylic. This secret weapon prevents peeling and bubbling down the road, which often happens with cheap DIY hardware store kits. You can trust that our meticulous prep work creates a foundation built to withstand daily hot showers.
Once the prep work is complete, our skilled technicians use professional spray equipment to apply multiple layers of a high-tech acrylic urethane. This advanced material cures into a hard, glossy shell that looks exactly like brand-new fired porcelain. Which means your family gets a gorgeous, easy-to-clean basin that looks like it just came from the factory showroom.
Finally, we cure the surface using specialized heat lamps to speed up the drying process and maximize the strength of the bond. This advanced curing technique ensures you can use your beautiful, refreshed shower area again in just a day or two. You will love how the light bounces off the smooth, uniform surface every time you step into the room.
Our dedicated crew lives and works right here in the historic heart of Forsyth County, serving our neighbors with pride and integrity. We understand the unique historic charm of homes in Bethania, North Carolina, where keeping original vintage fixtures is often highly preferred over buying cheap modern plastic replacements. Whether you live in a cozy home in the 27010 ZIP code area or a newer property nearby, we bring top-tier craftsmanship directly to your doorstep.
Did you know that this historic town, with its peaceful population of about 392 residents, boasts some of the oldest home structures in the state? Many of these gorgeous properties feature heavy, high-quality cast iron tubs that are almost impossible to remove without destroying historic doorways. With a local median household income of $59,167, our neighbors appreciate smart, cost-effective home maintenance solutions that preserve historic value while keeping costs low.
By choosing our local service, you support a small business that treats your home with the utmost respect and care. We use advanced exhaust systems to vent paint fumes safely outside, ensuring your family breathes clean air throughout the entire process. Plus, we offer quick, obligation-free site visits to assess your bathroom and provide a clear, transparent price quote.
To keep your restored fixture looking incredibly shiny for years to come, you must avoid using abrasive bleach cleansers or rough scrubbing pads. Instead, we highly recommend using mild dish soap or non-abrasive aerosol cleaners with a soft microfiber cloth. This simple care routine protects the protective topcoat from fine scratches and preserves the brilliant shine indefinitely.
Additionally, you should avoid leaving wet washcloths or dripping bottles of shampoo sitting on the ledge for long periods. Letting water pool continuously can eventually weaken the bond of any protective coating over time. By practicing these easy maintenance habits, you ensure your beautiful wash area remains a source of pride for up to a decade.

We pride ourselves on punctuality, cleanliness, and delivering beautiful results that put a smile on your face.

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 Bethania, 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.
