In Brechtel Park (New Orleans), the New Orleans technician we send repairs, sprays and caulks your tub where it stands.
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.
You stare at that ugly, stained tub every single morning while brushing your teeth.
It looks dingy and has those weird yellow spots that never seem to scrub away.
Fortunately, you can completely restore that smooth shine without paying thousands of dollars for a messy demolition crew.
Instead of ripping out your entire bathroom wall, a local specialist can spray a brand-new, durable coating right over your existing fixture.
This clever process makes your old cast iron or acrylic tub look brand new in just a few hours.
By choosing this smart option, you save massive amounts of time and keep tons of heavy construction debris out of our local landfills.
Actually, many homeowners do not realize how easy it is to fix up a chipped surface.
You do not need to hire plumbers or retile your entire space just because the finish looks dull.
We come right to your home and apply a industrial-grade liquid acrylic that bonds permanently to your old tub.
First, we must scrub the old surface with special acid cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and body oils.
This critical step ensures the new coating sticks perfectly and does not peel off after a few hot showers.
If your tub has deep chips or rusty spots, we patch them up with polyester filler before we do anything else.
Next, we spray a high-tech bonding agent that acts like molecular glue between the old porcelain and the new finish.
This special chemical primer is the big secret to making the job last for over a decade.
After that, we use professional spray equipment to apply several coats of a top-tier acrylic urethane gloss.
Finally, we let the new surface cure completely so it hardens into a rock-solid, gleaming shield.
This means you can start soaking in your beautiful, clean tub again in just twenty-four hours.
To help you understand the major differences between our process and a full replacement, we made a simple comparison table below.
| Feature | Our Special Coating Service | Full Bathroom Demolition |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with hidden plumbing fees |
| Time to Complete | Finished in about 4 to 6 hours | Takes days or weeks of loud construction |
| Mess Factor | Very minimal dust and fully contained | Drywall dust everywhere in your home |
| Durability | Lasts 10 to 15 years with proper care | Lasts a long time but costs a fortune |
Think about the nightmare of trying to wiggle a heavy cast iron tub through your narrow bathroom doorway.
You often have to break the old one with a sledgehammer, which can easily crack your floor tiles.
On top of that, new tubs rarely fit the old plumbing footprint perfectly without expensive pipe adjustments.
Choosing to renew the surface instead lets you keep your high-quality, vintage fixture.
Older tubs actually hold heat much better than the cheap plastic ones you buy at big-box home improvement stores today.
Which means you get to enjoy longer, warmer baths while keeping the classic character of your home intact.
Moreover, the new non-porous finish makes cleaning your bathroom absolute child's play.
Since dirt and mildew cannot grip the slick new surface, you can just wipe it down with a mild soap.
You will never have to spend your Saturday mornings scrubbing with harsh abrasive powders again.
Our friendly team arrives on time with all the high-end ventilation gear needed to keep your indoor air clean.
We carefully mask off your vanity, floors, and walls with heavy paper and plastic sheets to protect them.
Then, we set up an exhaust fan in the window to pull all the chemical fumes safely outside while we spray.
Once we finish applying the glossy topcoat, we clean up our workspace so well you won't even know we were there.
We take all our trash with us, leaving you only with a brilliant, sparkling bathroom fixture.
This focus on detail ensures you get a stress-free experience from the moment we knock on your door.
Of course, we always take time to explain how to maintain your gorgeous new finish so it stays bright.
Simple habits like avoiding bleach and using a bath mat without suction cups will protect your investment for years.
We treat your home with the exact same respect we would treat our own mother's house.
We love working near the beautiful green spaces of Brechtel Park where families enjoy the gorgeous Louisiana weather.
Since our local community appreciates honest work and fair prices, we strive to deliver top-notch craftsmanship on every single job.
Our neighbors trust us because we do not use pushy sales tactics or hide extra fees in our contracts.
Whether you live in a classic home or a modern spot in this part of New Orleans, we know how to handle your specific plumbing style.
We understand the local water conditions and how the humid climate can affect how coatings cure.
This local knowledge allows us to adjust our techniques so your new finish cures to absolute perfection.

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 Brechtel Park (New Orleans), 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.
