All over Clay 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.
Is your old basin looking like it survived a war from the last century? You can transform that chipped and stained relic into something shiny and smooth without ripping out the walls.
This process offers a fantastic way to upgrade your washroom aesthetic while keeping your sanity intact. By choosing this route, you save a boatload of cash compared to a full rip-out and remodel project.
Most folks assume that a crusty, yellowing tub means it is time for a demolition crew. However, you often just need a professional touch to spray on a high-durability coating.
This method covers up those annoying rust spots and tiny cracks that trap dirt. Since you want a space that feels like a place of pure ease and total relaxation, this helps you reach that goal fast.
Basically, we clean your unit, remove the old caulk, and apply a specialized bonding agent. Then, we spray a multi-layer finish that cures into a rock-hard surface.
This means you get a finish that shines bright and lasts for many years to come. Think of the time saved by not having to scrub endlessly at those impossible stains.
Replacing a tub involves paying for plumbing, tile work, and hauling away heavy debris. By skipping the demolition, you avoid the nightmare of dust filling up your entire home.
This leaves your wallet much fuller while still giving you that dream bathroom vibe you crave. You gain a durable surface that looks just like a brand new installation from a showroom.
Located right here in this beautiful corner of the state, we serve the folks living within the various zip codes of the region. Even though the local population density stays pretty low, we know that every home deserves a sparkling washroom.
Many homes around here share a similar charm but often suffer from dated fixtures that show their age. Given the median household income, spending thousands on a gut renovation is not always the best move.
This is where our specialized service comes in to help you maintain your property value easily. We prioritize keeping things simple for you so you can enjoy your home sooner.
| Benefit | How it helps you | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost savings | Keep your hard-earned money for other home projects | |
| Time efficiency | Finish the job in a single day rather than weeks | |

| Aesthetic | Match any color scheme to elevate your room style |
Before we start, we need to make sure the tub does not have any deep structural rot underneath. If the floor feels soft, you might need a carpenter first to fix the wood rot.
However, if the porcelain just looks tired, we are ready to work our wonders immediately. You just need to clear out your personal items so we have space to set up our ventilation gear.
First, we mask off all your nearby tiles and faucets to protect them from the spray. This ensures that the only thing getting a new layer of paint is the basin itself.
Second, we sand the surface to make it slightly rough so the new material sticks perfectly. This creates a lasting bond that resists peeling and keeps your surface looking great for ages.
Once we finish, you need to wait a full day before letting any water touch it. After that, you should stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners to keep the surface looking pristine.
This small habit ensures that your investment stays looking sharp and clean for years. You will love how easy it is to wipe down and keep sparkling every single day.
Some people try to buy those kits from the big box store thinking they can do it alone. Trust me, the smell is intense and the roller finish never looks quite as smooth as a professional spray.
You might end up with drips and uneven spots that just make the tub look worse. By hiring a pro to handle the chemicals, you guarantee a result that actually looks professional.
We bring high-end ventilation fans to pull the fumes out of your home while we spray. This makes the experience much easier for you and keeps your indoor air clear and breathable.
Without these tools, you are stuck breathing in strong fumes that really hang around for days. Let us handle the tough stuff while you relax in another room until we finish.
New tubs are heavy, hard to maneuver, and require a plumber to deal with the drain. By keeping your current unit, you bypass all the stress of finding someone to haul away that heavy iron or acrylic.
This approach lets you keep the character of your home while fixing the eyesore. It is a win-win for anyone who wants a better look without the massive headache.
Now that you see how this process can change your life, you might wonder about the price. Every project is unique because every tub has a different history of wear and tear.
This is why we provide a free estimate to look at your specific situation on site. We want to be clear about what we can do to help you reach your goals.
You just need to reach out and tell us you want to talk about your bathroom project. We will schedule a time to come out and inspect the surface, give you a price, and answer questions.
There is absolutely no pressure to say yes, so you can think it over. We value your time and aim to provide transparent info so you can choose what works best.
We will arrive on time with the right tools to assess the condition of your fixtures. This allows us to spot any hidden issues before we start the actual work later on.
You get an honest assessment from someone who works with these materials every single day. We believe in doing the job right the first time so you stay happy with your home.
Think about how much more you would enjoy your morning routine with a clean and bright surface. You deserve a space that feels fresh and inviting instead of one that makes you want to look away.
This is one of the easiest ways to refresh your living space without breaking the bank. Let us help you get that result you have been dreaming about for so long.

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.
