A dull or chipped tub in Collinsville 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.
Do you look at that cracked basin every morning and sigh? Well, fixing it yourself is often a giant headache. That is why calling a pro makes total sense. This clever service lets you update your washing stall without tearing out walls.
Most folks in Lauderdale County find themselves staring at dated acrylic or cast iron. Fortunately, fixing this issue keeps cash in your pocket. You get a shiny finish that gives you peace of mind.
Now, let us talk about how this process saves you massive dollars. Replacing a tub involves hiring plumbers and buying new tile. Instead, our local crew in the 39325 area sprays a tough polymer coating right over your existing fixture.
Water damage sneaks up on you when tiny cracks go ignored. This lets mold grow underneath your heavy basin. Fixing that later costs an arm and a leg.
On top of that, nobody likes sitting in a rough, stained enclosure. Smooth surfaces let you relax fully during a long evening soak. Which means your daily routine becomes much more enjoyable.
First, our specialists arrive at your home with industrial gear. They scrub away soap scum and old minerals thoroughly. This gives us a completely clean slate to work on.
Next, we etch the surface so the new bonding agent sticks tight. This step stops any peeling down the road. You can trust our crew to handle your home with total respect.
We use heavy-duty primers that lock onto porcelain and fiberglass. This guarantees your investment lasts for many years. You will never worry about sudden chips ruining your morning.
Ventilation is key during this chemical application process. Our team brings powerful exhaust fans to clear out fumes fast. This keeps your indoor air clean while we work.
Many homeowners wonder if buying a brand-new tub is better. However, demolition destroys your floors and drains your savings. The table below shows why surface restoration wins every single time.
| Factor | Full Replacement | Surface Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Time Needed | One to two weeks | Just one day |
| Average Cost | Extremely high | Very budget-friendly |
| Mess Created | Massive debris | Zero structural mess |
Looking at these numbers makes the choice pretty obvious. You save both time and heavy cash loads. That lets you spend your hard-earned money on other fun projects.
Our little town in Mississippi has a proud history. With around 1,606 neighbors sharing this space, word of mouth travels quickly. People here appreciate honest work and fair pricing.
With a median household income sitting at $62,475, every dollar matters to local families. Upgrading your bathroom without breaking the bank makes great fiscal sense. That is why our community trusts us for home improvements.
Morning arrives and our technician knocks on your front door. You do not need to move your heavy plumbing fixtures anywhere. We mask off the surrounding tiles and floors with thick plastic.
Spraying the high-grade topcoat takes just a few hours. Afterward, the glossy finish needs time to cure properly. You can use your upgraded wash basin the very next day.
Big national franchises often charge hidden fees and send subcontractors. Conversely, our hometown team values direct honesty. You deal with the same friendly folks from start to finish.
Years of hands-on practice taught us every trick in the book. This lets us tackle weird angles and stubborn rust spots easily. You get professional results without any stress.
Maintenance is surprisingly simple once the new coat cures. You just grab a soft sponge and mild dish soap. Harsh abrasive powders will scratch the shiny finish right off.
Avoiding harsh chemicals keeps the polymer strong for decades. This means your bathroom keeps that showroom glow for a very long time. You will love showing off your clean wash area to visiting guests.
Never let standing water sit on rubber bath mats overnight. That traps moisture and can discolor the fresh topcoat. Simple habits like hanging your mat up dry save you trouble.
Also, avoid dropping heavy metal tools into the basin. Even tough finishes have limits against blunt force trauma. Taking basic precautions keeps your fixture looking brand new.
Stop looking at that ugly, stained bathing box every single day. Taking action now transforms your entire bathroom vibe instantly. You deserve a pristine space to unwind after work.

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 Collinsville, 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.

The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
