A dull or chipped tub in Chalkville 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.

Indeed, our local professionals love helping neighbors upgrade their homes without draining their savings accounts. We take pride in rescuing worn-out bathroom surfaces that look like they belong in a horror movie. Let us show you how we turn those dull, scratched basins into beautiful, bright focal points that you will actually enjoy using every single day.
Instead of ripping out a perfectly solid cast iron or steel piece, our method involves applying a high-tech, durable new coating over the existing structure. This clever technique seals up old pores, covers ugly stains, and hides unsightly chips that have accumulated over years of daily use. Consequently, you get a gorgeous, glossy finish that looks identical to a brand-new showroom model for a fraction of the cost.
Because the process happens right where the fixture sits, we completely eliminate the risk of damaging your bathroom walls, plumbing, or floor tiles during removal. This protective approach saves your precious tile work and keeps your home clean. Additionally, the entire project wraps up in just a single day, meaning your life gets back to normal almost instantly. Our specialized chemical bonding agents ensure that the fresh layer sticks incredibly tight to the original material under it.
| Project Phase | What We Do | Your Direct Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Prep | Deep clean and strip old coatings | Perfect adhesion with no peeling later |
| Repair Stage | Fill chips, cracks, and deep scratches | A totally smooth, uniform appearance |
| Bonding & Coating | Apply professional primers and topcoats | Long-lasting shine and simple cleaning |
To achieve these stellar results, we use commercial-grade spray equipment that creates a perfectly even, factory-like surface. This advanced application method prevents ugly brush marks or weird runs from ruining the final look. Ultimately, you receive a beautiful, easy-to-clean wash basin that resists future staining and discoloration. It is the ultimate shortcut to a modern, refreshed bathroom that you can show off to guests.
Living in our lovely unincorporated community with a cozy population of 3,829 residents means you value friendly, dependable local service providers who treat you like family. Since we understand the unique homes in this beautiful part of Alabama, we know exactly how to handle older plumbing systems and classic fixtures. This local experience allows us to work quickly and avoid the common mistakes that out-of-town companies often make.
Specifically, many properties in the 35173 and 35215 ZIP codes feature sturdy, vintage fixtures that are actually much stronger than modern plastic replacements. By preserving these heavy-duty pieces, you keep the classic charm of your home while upgrading its overall cleanliness and style. Which means you get the best of both worlds: vintage durability combined with a clean, contemporary appearance. On top of that, keeping your original basin saves you from the nightmare of permit delays and expensive plumbing upgrades.
Furthermore, local families earning around the area median household income appreciate smart ways to stretch their home improvement dollars further. Investing in our surface restoration service increases your home value without requiring a second mortgage. Since we live and work nearby, we can easily pop over to your house to assess the project. This close proximity guarantees fast response times and personalized care from start to finish.
First, we carefully mask off your entire bathroom with protective plastic sheets and set up a powerful ventilation fan to draw odors outdoors. This step keeps your home safe from dust and strong chemical smells during our work. Next, we apply a specialized etching compound to the old porcelain or acrylic to create a microscopically rough texture. This rough surface is crucial because it allows the new coating to grab hold with maximum strength.
After that, we fill in any deep dings, rust spots, or cracks with a heavy-duty polyester filler and sand it perfectly flat. This meticulous prep work ensures that the final finish looks completely seamless and feels silky smooth to the touch. Once the repairs are dry, we apply our signature bonding agent followed by multiple layers of premium acrylic urethane. The result is a rock-hard shield that stands up to hot water, soaps, and daily scrubbing.
To keep your restored surface looking brand new for many years, you simply need to avoid harsh abrasive cleaners. This means you can throw away those scratchy powder cleansers and rough scrubbing pads that ruin traditional finishes. Instead, use mild liquid dish soap or gentle foaming bathroom sprays along with a soft microfiber cloth. This easy maintenance routine preserves the brilliant shine and prevents micro-scratches from dulling the surface over time.
Now, you also want to make sure you do not leave wet bottles or damp washcloths sitting on the ledge for weeks. This basic habit prevents moisture from getting trapped under the edges of your personal items, which can slowly weaken the bond. By following these simple guidelines, your renewed wash basin will stay incredibly bright, clean, and inviting. It is a tiny bit of effort for a massive, long-term reward in comfort and daily satisfaction.
If you are ready to stop squinting at those ugly stains and start enjoying a sparkling clean bathroom again, we are here to help you make it happen.

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 Chalkville, 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.
