A dull or chipped tub in DeRidder 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.
That ugly, stained bathroom fixture is staring back at you every single morning. You might think ripping it out is your only option to get a clean space again. Actually, our local crew can spray a durable new glass-like coating over your existing surface right where it sits. This fast process saves you thousands of dollars and avoids a massive remodeling headache.
Fortunately, you do not have to live with that chipped, yellowing eyesore for another week. Our specialized treatment works on worn fiberglass, cast iron, and acrylic surfaces to erase years of hard water stains and scratches. By choosing this smart path, you get a gleaming, fresh bathroom in just a single day.
If you want to transform your bathroom instantly, you can claim a free estimate from our friendly local team right now. We love helping folks fall in love with their homes again. Let us take a close look at how this budget-friendly magic happens.
First of all, ripping out an old cast iron basin often requires smashing your beautiful wall tiles. This destructive process turns your peaceful home into a dusty, noisy construction zone for weeks. On top of that, you will have to pay expensive plumbers to reroute old pipes that do not align with modern replacement models.
To make matters worse, cheap replacement inserts often feel flimsy and flex under your feet when you stand in them. Many homeowners do not realize that older fixtures possess incredible structural integrity and hold heat much better than modern plastic replicas. Keeping your original heavy-duty basin and applying a fresh, high-gloss protective barrier is simply a superior choice.
Which means you save your precious time, preserve your quality bathroom structure, and keep hard earned cash in your wallet. Our process delivers a smooth, non-porous finish that looks identical to brand new porcelain. You get the ultimate visual upgrade without any of the typical renovation nightmares.
To start, we thoroughly scrub the existing surface with specialized industrial cleaners to remove soap scum, body oils, and old mineral deposits. This deep preparation step is absolutely critical because even a microscopic speck of grease can ruin the adhesion of our new coating. We never cut corners here because we want your beautiful new surface to last for many years to come.
Next, we carefully repair any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots with a heavy-duty waterproof polyester filler. After sanding those patches perfectly flat, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically welds our new finish to your old tub. This advanced molecular bond ensures the fresh layers will never peel, bubble, or lift away when you take hot showers.
Finally, we use professional spray equipment to apply multiple coats of a high-tech acrylic urethane topcoat. This premium material cures into an incredibly hard, glossy shell that resists impact and stains beautifully. You are left with a glittering, pristine surface that looks like it just rolled off the factory showroom floor.
| Feature of Our Coating Service | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| No demolition required | Your bathroom stays clean, intact, and ready to use quickly |
| Advanced chemical bonding agent | The new finish resists peeling and lasts for years |
| Non-porous acrylic urethane shell | Super easy to wipe clean without harsh scrubbing |
| Saves up to 75% over replacement | You keep your hard-earned money for other home projects |
Once our team finishes the job, you will notice how incredibly smooth the new surface feels to the touch. This slick barrier prevents soap residue and mildew from grabbing hold of the material. Consequently, you will spend far less time scrubbing your bathroom on your hands and knees during the weekend.
However, you must avoid using abrasive cleaners like steel wool or gritty powders on your newly coated basin. These harsh scrubbing agents will dull the gorgeous shine over time and create tiny scratches where dirt can hide. Simply wiping the surface down with a mild liquid dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth keeps it brilliant.
This simple maintenance routine guarantees your restored fixture remains a centerpiece of pride in your home. We always explain these easy care steps in detail before we pack up our tools. Our goal is to ensure you enjoy your beautiful, low-maintenance wash space for a decade or more.

Whether you live in a classic home near the heart of DeRidder, Louisiana, or in the surrounding countryside, we come directly to you. We serve the entire 70634 ZIP code area, helping our neighbors upgrade their properties with minimal hassle.

We treat your home with the utmost respect, leaving our workspace spotless and clean when we finish.
Of course, we believe in being completely upfront with our valued neighbors about what this process can and cannot do. On the positive side, our service is incredibly fast, extremely affordable, and looks absolutely magnificent. On top of that, it seals up old worn surfaces, making them much more hygienic for your family to use.
On the downside, this process does require you to keep the bathroom ventilated while we spray the chemical coatings. The fumes can be quite strong for a few hours, though they dissipate quickly once we set up our exhaust fans. Additionally, you cannot use suction-cup bathmats on the new surface, as pulling them up can damage the bond.

We always help you weigh these options honestly so you can make the absolute best decision for your household. You can count on our team for straight talk and high-quality craftsmanship every single time.

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 DeRidder, 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.
