A dull or chipped tub in Bromide 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.

Instead of ripping out your entire wall, our specialized service focuses on renewing the protective top layer of your cast iron or acrylic basin. This technique involves meticulous cleaning, repairing deep chips, and applying a industrial-grade coating that bonds permanently. Consequently, you avoid the massive mess of a traditional demolition project.
Many homeowners worry that their old, pink or green tubs from decades past are beyond saving. Actually, those vintage heavy-duty basins are often made of incredibly strong materials that outlast modern cheap plastic units. Applying a fresh, crisp white coat preserves that classic durability while updating the style to match modern tastes.
To give you a better idea of how this compares to replacement, we put together a handy comparison table below.
| Project Factor | Our Restoration Service | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very budget-friendly | Extremely expensive |
| Time to Complete | A few hours | Several days or weeks |
| Mess and Demolition | Virtually none | Dust, broken tiles, and noise |
| Durability | Excellent with proper care | Depends on purchase quality |
Now, you can see why so many sensible property owners prefer this modern shortcut. This option minimizes household disruption, meaning you can use your shower again in just a couple of days. Plus, you keep usable materials out of our local landfills, which is a great bonus for the environment.
Since we operate right here in Johnston County, we understand the specific needs of our community. Many homes in this beautiful part of Oklahoma feature older plumbing systems that do not tolerate heavy construction well. Our gentle, non-invasive method protects your vintage pipes from accidental damage.
Speaking of our local area, we love serving the tiny but proud community of Bromide, which has a population of about 109 people. With a median household income of $37,679, finding ways to save hard-earned cash is incredibly important for local families. We proudly serve everyone in the 74530 ZIP code area with honest, affordable home improvement options.
When you hire us, you support a local business that genuinely cares about quality craftsmanship. We do not cut corners because we want our neighbors to enjoy their upgraded washrooms for years. Our team uses top-tier primers and bonding agents to ensure the new finish never peels or bubbles under pressure.
First, we thoroughly scrub the entire basin with specialized cleaners to remove decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This crucial step ensures that the new coating will adhere perfectly to the original substrate. Without this deep chemical cleaning, the new layer would simply slide off over time.
Next, we repair any unsightly cracks, deep scratches, or rusty spots using a tough waterproof filler. Once we sand those patches smooth, the surface becomes completely uniform and ready for the next phase. This attention to detail separates a sloppy DIY attempt from a gorgeous, professional finish.
Then, we carefully tape off all your surrounding tiles, walls, and fixtures to protect them from any overspray. Our technicians also set up a heavy-duty exhaust system to pull fumes out of your home while we work. This setup guarantees that your indoor air stays clean and safe for your family and pets.
After securing the area, we apply a proprietary molecular bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old tub and the new finish. This chemical bond is the secret to a long-lasting, beautiful result that resists peeling. We take our time during this stage because shortcuts always lead to premature wear.
Finally, we spray several thin, even layers of a high-performance acrylic polymer coating across the entire surface. This liquid acrylic cures into a rock-hard, glossy shell that looks exactly like expensive brand-new porcelain. Once dry, this brilliant surface feels wonderfully smooth against your skin, providing a sense of pure satisfaction.
To keep this new finish looking spectacular, you only need to use mild, non-abrasive cleaners. Harsh chemicals and gritty scrub brushes will eventually dull the shine, so gentle soap is always best. This simple maintenance routine keeps your washroom sparkling with minimal effort on your part.
Perhaps you are planning to sell your home soon and want to boost its market value quickly. A stained, yellowed bathing area immediately turns off potential buyers who imagine thousands of dollars in repair bills. Our fast cosmetic upgrade makes your bathroom look immaculate, helping you secure a better offer from buyers.
On the other hand, maybe you just bought a fixer-upper and want to clean up someone else's old grime. Our deep sanitizing and resurfacing process seals away old stains and bacteria under a clean, hygienic layer. This gives you peace of mind, knowing your children are bathing in a sterile, fresh environment.
Whatever your situation, we are ready to help you find the most cost-effective path forward. We believe in honest communication, so we will tell you upfront if your tub is a good candidate for our process. Grab your phone or computer and request your free estimate today to get started.
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 Bromide, 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.
