All over Claiborne Parish, 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 sick of looking at that gross tub in your bathroom? Fortunately, you can fix it today by calling our local team for a free estimate.
Most folks living in this northern Louisiana parish deal with hard water stains that ruin porcelain. Because of this annoyance, your washing basin loses its smooth finish and gathers stubborn grime. Thankfully, our restoration process saves you from buying a costly replacement unit.
Instead of ripping out your entire plumbing setup, we spray a tough polymer coating directly over the existing surface. Consequently, you get a shiny basin that looks brand new without destroying your bathroom walls. This clever trick cuts down on messy construction debris and saves you serious cash.
Ignoring a chipped surface lets moisture seep underneath and causes ugly rust spots to form. Eventually, that minor scratch turns into a major headache that harbors harmful mold and bacteria. Addressing the issue early prevents structural water damage and keeps your family safe.
Besides stopping mold growth, fixing that worn glaze makes cleaning your washing area much simpler. Therefore, you spend less time scrubbing stubborn stains and more time enjoying your day. Smooth acrylic coatings repel soap scum much better than old pitted cast iron.
First off, our crew arrives at your home with specialized sanding tools to rough up the old enamel. After that prep work finishes, we apply an industrial bonding agent to guarantee maximum adhesion. This careful method ensures your new finish will not peel off after a few months of heavy use.
Next comes the actual spraying phase where we apply multiple layers of high-grade aliphatic urethane. During this stage, our technicians wear protective gear while venting fumes safely outside your house. Such precise execution guarantees a glossy sheen that rivals the luxury of brand new plumbing fixtures.
Following the spray application, the chemical curing period begins and hardens the coating into a solid shell. Within twenty four hours, your fixture becomes fully usable again for relaxing evening soaks. This rapid turnaround time means zero long term disruptions to your daily routine.
| Comparison Factor | Complete Replacement | Our Resurfacing Service |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Thousands of dollars | A small fraction of replacement |
| Time Required | Multiple weeks | Just one single day |
| Mess Level | Extreme demolition dust | Minimal cleanup needed |
Naturally, hauling out an old cast iron tub requires breaking through tile floors and drywall. Because of that heavy demolition, you face massive contractor bills and weeks of construction dust. By contrast, our surface renewal technique skips the demolition entirely and protects your existing tile work.
Furthermore, replacing plumbing fixtures often triggers unexpected code upgrades in older rural homes. Avoiding these hidden surprises lets you stick to your original renovation budget without breaking a sweat. Smart homeowners always choose the path that maximizes value and minimizes stress.
Booking an appointment takes only a few minutes when you reach out for your no cost cost evaluation. Once we inspect your worn basin, we hand you a straightforward price quote with zero hidden fees. This transparent approach builds trust and ensures you know exactly what to expect on project day.
Equally important, our technicians treat your home with total respect by laying down protective floor runners. Such attention to detail prevents accidental paint drops on your favorite bathroom rugs or tile flooring. You can relax knowing experienced professionals handle your property with utmost care.
Years of hands-on experience taught us how to tackle the toughest rust stains and deep scratches. Consequently, every project receives our signature touch of durability and visual appeal. Your satisfaction drives our business forward in every community we serve across this southern region.
Harsh abrasive scouring powders will scratch the fresh urethane coating over time and dull its shine. Instead, switch to mild liquid dish soaps and soft sponges for your weekly cleaning routine. Taking this simple step preserves the factory gloss for well over a decade.
Additionally, fixing dripping faucets prevents mineral buildup from eating away at your brand new surface finish. Small plumbing leaks drop constant water weights that eventually degrade even the toughest industrial polymers. Protecting your investment requires basic maintenance combined with prompt plumbing repairs.
Wondering if different colors are available for your project instead of standard white? Yes, we offer various custom tint options to match your exact bathroom decor and aesthetic preferences. This flexibility allows you to completely modernize an outdated color scheme without remodeling from scratch.
Curious about lingering chemical smells during the spraying process in your enclosed bathroom space? Our team utilizes high-powered ventilation systems to exhaust all fumes directly out the nearest window. Therefore, your living areas remain fresh and safe for children and pets.
Worried that the new coating might crack under heavy weight during a hot bath? High-density acrylic urethans flex naturally with the underlying material to withstand heavy daily usage. You can step inside with total confidence knowing your fixture stands strong.
Transforming your tired washing basin into a stunning focal point has never been easier or more affordable. Stop hiding your scratched porcelain behind shower curtains and reclaim your pride in your home interior. Contact our friendly local team right now to schedule your free estimate and get started.
Every day you wait is another day dealing with stubborn stains that refuse to come clean. Let our skilled professionals restore that gorgeous shine so you can relax in total peace. Reach out today for your complimentary price quote and experience true local craftsmanship.
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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
