First of all, ripping out an old cast iron or steel tub is an absolute nightmare. During this heavy process, workers often smash your wall tiles and break your floor planks. On top of that, you will have to pay expensive plumbers to hook up the new drain lines.
Because of these hidden fees, a simple replacement project can quickly cost you a fortune. Sometimes, the new cheap plastic tubs you buy at the big box stores feel flimsy under your feet. Instead of dealing with that headache, restoring the original heavy-duty fixture keeps the classic strength of your home intact.
Actually, our specialized liquid coating process bonds directly to the old porcelain or fiberglass on a microscopic level. This means you keep your sturdy original basin while enjoying a fresh, glossy outer layer that resists scratches. Let us look at how the two choices compare so you can make the smartest decision for your wallet.
| The Smart Alternative | The Full Replacement |
|---|---|
| Completed in hours | Takes days or weeks | Very budget friendly | Extremely expensive |
| No plumbing changes | Requires costly permits |
Basically, we do not just paint over your problems with cheap store-bought spray cans. To start, our technician cleans the surface with industrial acid cleaners to strip away old soap scum and hard water deposits. This critical preparation step ensures our bonding agents grip the surface tightly.
After that, we apply a high-tech primer that acts like a chemical anchor between the old material and the new coat. Next, we spray several layers of a premium acrylic urethane topcoat using professional high-volume low-pressure spray guns. Consequently, the finished surface looks like poured glass and feels incredibly smooth to the touch.
To keep everything safe, we use powerful exhaust fans to pull any chemical fumes out of your house during the application. Once the chemical curing process finishes, the new surface becomes incredibly durable and easy to clean. You only need to wipe it down with mild soap to keep it looking pristine for years.
Naturally, you might wonder how long this beautiful new coating will actually last under daily use. If you treat it right and avoid abrasive bleach powders, your renewed basin will easily shine for over a decade. Which means you get incredible value out of a single afternoon of professional work.
Moreover, our family-friendly process works beautifully on antique clawfoot tubs, standard alcove units, and even modern garden tubs. By choosing this smart route, you prevent heavy cast iron pieces from ending up in our local Texas landfills. It is a fantastic win-win situation for your home budget and the local environment.
If you happen to manage rental properties, you know that tenants can be extremely tough on bathrooms. Replacing fixtures between leases costs too much money and takes up too much precious time. Fortunately, our fast resurfacing service lets you list your rental property on the market much quicker.
Which helps you maximize your monthly rental income without dealing with long vacancies. For homeowners planning to sell, a bright, clean washroom instantly boosts your home value during open houses. Potential buyers will think you spent thousands of dollars on a brand-new bathroom remodel.
To get the best results, our friendly technicians pay close attention to every tiny corner and caulk line. We take immense pride in our craftsmanship and always treat your home with the utmost respect. You can easily schedule a visit with us to get a clear, honest breakdown of the total cost.
We love traveling throughout this wonderful region, which sits just southeast of the bustling city of Austin.

According to recent demographic data, the local population of Caldwell County, Texas has been growing steadily as more folks discover its unique charm and rich barbecue heritage. With a median household income that supports active home improvement, residents here value quality workmanship that lasts.

Because we are local, we understand the specific mineral content of the municipal water supply, which often causes tough lime scale buildup. Our prep work specifically targets these stubborn mineral deposits so your new finish will not peel or bubble over time. You can trust our local experience to deliver a finish that stands up to the local water conditions perfectly.
Once we pack up our tools, you only need to wait a short while before you can enjoy a relaxing soak. To maintain that brilliant shine, you must avoid harsh scrubbing pads that can dull the glossy finish. Instead, use a soft sponge and a gentle liquid cleaner to wipe down the surface.
This simple habit prevents dirt from sticking and keeps the surface incredibly slick and hygienic. Also, remember to fix any dripping faucets quickly because constant water drips can eventually wear down any coating. By taking these small steps, you protect your investment and keep your bathroom looking fantastic.

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, 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.
