All over Conway 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, stained tub every single day? You can actually save thousands of dollars by restoring your existing bathroom fixtures instead of tearing them out. Let us show you how we bring back that shiny, brand-new look with a free quote today!
Actually, let us talk about that dingy, outdated basin sitting in your bathroom right now. Years of scrubbing with harsh chemicals can strip away the original shine, leaving a dull surface that seems to suck up every bit of dirt. Once the factory finish wears down, your fixture becomes incredibly porous and hard to keep clean.
This means you end up scrubbing on your hands and knees every weekend with zero luck. Fortunately, our specialized process coats your existing structure with an incredibly durable, high-gloss protective layer. You get a beautiful, clean space without the massive mess of a full demolition crew tearing up your drywall.
On top of that, we can easily change the color of your fixture during this process. Maybe you bought a house with an old pink or avocado green basin from decades ago. We apply a fresh, modern white or almond finish that completely transforms the entire vibe of your bathroom.
Now, let us look at the actual math of home renovation because budget matters to everyone. Replacing a cast iron or steel basin usually requires hiring plumbers, tile setters, and sometimes even structural carpenters. Those costs add up incredibly fast, often reaching several thousand dollars before you can even take a shower.
This is where our local restoration service saves the day by focusing only on the surface itself. We complete the entire job right in place, usually finishing in just a single afternoon. You save an absolute fortune while still getting that bright, clean aesthetic you actually want.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple breakdown of what to expect:
| Project Aspect | Full Replacement Method | Our Surface Restoring Method |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Cost | Very high ($3,000 - $6,000+) | Extremely budget-friendly |
| Time to Complete | One to two weeks of mess | Usually under five hours |
| Demolition Required | Yes, walls and floors damaged | Absolutely zero demo needed |
| Life Extension | Long term | Up to 10-15 years with proper care |
Which means you keep your hard-earned money in your pocket for other important things. Our friendly team drives right out to your home to inspect the current state of your fixtures. We always provide a completely free estimate so you know exactly what to expect before we start.
First, our crew meticulously prepares the work area to protect your floors and vanity from any overspray. We set up a high-powered exhaust fan system to vent all fumes directly outside your home. This keeps your indoor air clean and comfortable while we perform our magic on your fixture.
Next, we apply a specialized chemical acid etch to the old porcelain or fiberglass body. This microscopic etching process is crucial because it creates a rough texture for the new materials to grip onto. Without this step, your new shiny coating would simply peel off like sunburned skin within a few weeks.
After etching, we fill in every single ding, chip, and deep scratch with a heavy-duty polyester filler. We sand these spots completely flush so the surface feels incredibly smooth to the touch. This attention to detail ensures the final finish looks flawless, just like it rolled off the factory line.
Then, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a superglue between the old structure and new coating. This chemical weld is our secret weapon for longevity, ensuring your new finish sticks forever. We never skip this step because we want your investment to last for many years to come.
Which brings us to the exciting part where we spray several coats of high-tech acrylic urethane. We use professional spray equipment to build up a thick, uniform layer that cures into a rock-hard shell. This synthetic finish resists impact, moisture, and daily wear better than cheap DIY kits ever could.
Finally, we let the materials cure completely before we clean up our gear and leave your home spotless. You only need to wait about twenty-four hours before you can jump in and enjoy a relaxing soak. It really is that fast, simple, and stress-free for you and your family.
Naturally, you might see cheap paint-on kits at your local home improvement store and think about trying it yourself. We totally understand the appeal of saving a buck, but those store-bought products simply do not last. They usually consist of cheap epoxy paint that you roll on with a brush, leaving ugly stroke marks.
Consequently, these DIY finishes begin to yellow, crack, and peel away after just a few hot showers. Moisture gets trapped underneath the peeling paint, which quickly leads to nasty mold and rust issues. Fixing a failed DIY job actually costs more because we have to strip off all that old gunk first.
By hiring our local professionals, you get commercial-grade materials that actually bond on a molecular level. We have the proper safety gear, respirators, and experience to handle these chemicals safely and correctly. You get peace of mind knowing the job is done right the first time around.
Because we live and work right here in the heart of Conway County, Arkansas, we care about our neighbors. This beautiful region, which includes scenic spots near the Arkansas River, is home to hardworking families who appreciate honest value. We love driving down our local highways to help folks save money on their home improvement projects.
Whether you live in a cozy historic home or a modern suburban property, we treat your house with respect. Our technicians understand the unique local water conditions here, which can sometimes cause mineral buildup on your fixtures. We customize our prep work to handle these stubborn deposits so your new finish stays beautiful.
Which is why so many homeowners in our local ZIP codes trust us to restore their tired bathrooms. We pride ourselves on punctuality, cleanliness, and delivering a final result that makes you smile every time you walk by. Let us help you fall in love with your bathroom all over again without breaking the bank.
To keep your newly restored basin looking pristine, you must avoid abrasive cleaning powders and scratchy scrubbing pads. Those harsh scrubbers will micro-scratch the shiny surface, making it lose its gorgeous luster over time. Instead, simply use a mild liquid soap and a soft microfiber cloth after each use.
On top of that, never leave wet washcloths or dripping bottles of shampoo sitting on the ledge. Constant standing water can eventually weaken the bond of any protective coating if left unchecked for weeks. Taking care of your restored fixture is actually very easy when you follow these basic guidelines.
Now, you can finally say goodbye to that embarrassing, stained look and enjoy a bright, clean space. Contact us today to request your completely free, no-obligation estimate for your home project. We cannot wait to show you how beautiful your bathroom can look with our expert touch!
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.
