All over Choctaw County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
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.
Are you tired of looking at that ugly scratch on your porcelain daily? Fortunately, a local pro can come right out to your house and provide a free quote to fix it up.
Now, nobody actually wants to replace a whole bathroom unit because of a few chips. This lets you save thousands of dollars instead of doing a messy total tear out. Which means you keep your hard earned cash right in your pocket where it belongs.
Today, hiring someone to spray a fresh chemical topcoat over your old metal tub makes way more sense. Therefore, you avoid paying for expensive plumbing bills and drywall repairs. This gives you a brand new look without breaking your bank account.
Meanwhile, buying a brand new acrylic shell costs a fortune in labor fees. On top of that, you lose access to your bathroom for over a week during demolition. By comparison, our local trade work finishes everything in just a single afternoon.
Naturally, tearing out old plumbing creates a massive amount of dust throughout your house. Yet, surface restoration keeps your home clean and peaceful from start to finish. This ensures you never have to sweep up drywall chunks or breathe nasty drywall dust.
Furthermore, traditional remodeling projects drag on for weeks on end with endless crew visits. Instead, our quick spraying process lets you use your shower again almost immediately. Which means you enjoy total convenience without any annoying scheduling hassles.
First, the technician scrubs your old porcelain using strong cleaning agents to remove soap scum. Then, they apply an etching compound to open up the microscopic pores in the material. This lets the primer bond permanently to your old metal or cast iron.
Afterwards, any deep chips get filled with a waterproof polyester filler and sanded smooth. Consequently, the finished surface feels completely glass-like and looks factory fresh. You simply will not believe it is the same old basin you hated yesterday.
Next comes the actual spraying phase where heavy duty coatings get applied with professional equipment. This creates a gorgeous sheen that offers ultimate plushness for your daily morning routines. As a result, your bathroom feels much more luxurious while you brush your teeth.
Plus, you get to pick from several bright colors that match your current wall tiles. Meanwhile, the durable aliphatic urethane topcoat resists peeling and keeps its bright gloss for years. This gives your entire washroom a major visual upgrade without costing a small fortune.
| Option | Time Required | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement | One to Two Weeks | High Expenses |
| Surface Spraying | One Single Day | Very Low Cost |
| Plastic Liner | Several Days | Medium Price |
Looking at that simple table makes your decision pretty clear and straightforward for your household. Therefore, picking local surface restoration is the smartest financial move you can make today. This lets you enjoy a gorgeous bathroom while keeping your budget totally safe.
Over time, small chips turn into massive rust spots that leak water through your floorboards. Fortunately, catching these issues early prevents structural rot from destroying your subfloor. This keeps your home safe from expensive mold remediation and rotting wood joists.
Actually, ignoring a tiny hairline fracture in your acrylic tub invites major disaster during bath time. Yet, sealing those cracks right now stops water damage dead in its tracks. Which means you avoid paying for emergency plumber visits down the road.
Old pitted porcelain traps dirt and mildew in ways that defy normal household cleaning products. However, a newly sprayed surface features a nonporous shield that repels stubborn grime effortlessly. This lets you wipe down the walls with mild soap instead of scrubbing for hours.
On top of that, the shiny coating hides hard water stains much better than worn out plastic. By keeping things slick and smooth, your daily chores become infinitely easier to manage. You get to spend less time cleaning and more time relaxing in your pristine oasis.
When you invite our crew into your home, you receive courteous and respectful service every time. First, we mask off your surrounding walls and floors with heavy plastic sheeting. This ensures your paint and tiles remain totally protected during the entire chemical application process.
Furthermore, powerful ventilation fans pull all the fumes right out through your nearest window. Consequently, your house stays smelling fresh while the durable coatings cure properly. You never have to worry about lingering odors ruining your indoor air quality.
After the final layer goes on, the fresh coating needs some time to harden completely. Usually, waiting twenty four hours is enough before you can fill it with warm water. This gives the industrial polymers time to cross link and achieve maximum scratch resistance.
Plus, we leave you with clear maintenance instructions to keep your investment looking brand new. Following these easy care tips ensures your upgraded fixture lasts for many years to come. You simply wipe it down with non abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy tools.

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.
