In Desire Area, the New Orleans technician we send repairs, sprays and caulks your tub where it stands.
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 scratched, stained, or dated basin where you wash every day? You can transform your bathing space without the massive headache of a full demolition project.
Getting a fresh look for your worn-out fixtures is simpler than you think. You just need the right touch to restore that beautiful smooth finish and make your room feel brand new again.
Replacing a heavy cast iron or fiberglass basin is a giant, dusty nightmare. You have to rip out the walls, deal with heavy plumbing, and pay for expensive tiles that usually break during the process.
Instead of burning your savings, you should choose a smarter way to upgrade your wash area. This method keeps your original structure while giving you a pristine, glossy surface that stays clean for years.
| Benefit | Outcome |
| Low cost | Keep your extra cash |
| Fast work | Finish in one day |
| Durable finish | No more scrubbing stains |
First, the crew comes to your home in the historic Desire Area of New Orleans and cleans everything deep down. They strip away soap scum, hard water buildup, and old caulk until the surface is totally bare.
Next, they repair any chips or cracks with a special filler to make the base perfectly flat. This ensures that the final layer sticks tight and does not peel away later on.
Once the surface is prepped, they spray on a high-grade chemical coating that bonds with your old material. This creates a hard, non-porous layer that feels like glass and resists damage from everyday use.
Because the work stays contained in your bathroom, you avoid the chaos of a construction zone in your living room. You get a result that feels high-class and satisfies your need for a clean, bright space.
When you look for a local team to handle your bath restoration, you should check their history of quality. You want folks who understand the specific humidity levels of Louisiana, which can affect how fast the chemicals dry.
Since this neighborhood sits in the heart of the Pelican State, you need someone who knows the local climate well. A pro who works right here understands the challenges of keeping a home in good shape.
You could try to do this yourself with a kit from the store, but those results rarely last more than a few months. Those cheap sprays lack the strength of industrial resins and usually start to chip under the pressure of hot water.
On the other hand, a real pro uses equipment that pushes the coating deep into the existing surface. This creates a bond that lasts for a decade or longer if you take proper care of your tub.
Imagine stepping into a shower that shines like it just came out of the showroom. You will feel a deep sense of relief knowing that your investment cost a fraction of what a new install would be.
You get one clear written price for your own situation, with no obligation. You get a one-stop solution that lets you use your bathroom again in just twenty-four hours.
Moreover, this upgrade significantly boosts the value of your property in Orleans Parish. When you decide to sell your home, a sparkling, clean bathroom is one of the biggest selling points for any buyer.
Also, you gain peace of mind because you are not throwing a giant piece of waste into a landfill. Keeping your old fixture is a great way to be more sustainable while getting the exact look you want.
Many people wonder if the fumes will be too strong during the work. While there is a specific smell during the spraying phase, a good contractor uses ventilation fans to pull the air right out the window.
You should also know that the finish stays very strong against harsh scrubbing. However, you should avoid using steel wool or strong bleach products that might dull the shine over many years of use.
If you have a colored basin from the seventies, you are not stuck with it forever. You can easily switch to a clean, bright white or even a soft almond tone that matches your modern decor.
This versatility makes the process perfect for anyone who wants to modernize a home without the massive expense of a remodel. You have the power to change your entire aesthetic in just a single afternoon.
Getting a price for your project is the best way to see how much you can save. You should reach out to a local provider who can look at your current setup and give you an honest quote.
Since you live in a place where the median household income varies, you deserve a price that is fair and transparent. You should never feel pressured to commit until you see the numbers in black and white.
When you ask for a free assessment, you get a chance to meet the person who will be in your home. You can ask about the materials they use and the warranty they provide for their work.
This is the perfect time to clear up any doubts you have about the process. Once you get that quote, you can decide if the value matches your vision for your dream home.
After the work is done, you want to make sure the surface stays smooth and shiny. You should stick to gentle cleaning soaps that do not have any abrasive grit in them.
Using a soft microfiber cloth for your daily wipe-down will keep the finish looking sharp for years. You will find that cleaning becomes much faster because the new surface is perfectly smooth.
This smoothness prevents dirt and grime from finding a place to hide. Because of this, you spend less time scrubbing and more time enjoying your relaxing soak at the end of a long day.
You are just a few steps away from a bathroom that looks like it belongs in a magazine. It is amazing how much a little bit of professional care can change the way your home feels.
Since you know the benefits, you should not wait to start your project. You deserve a space that offers you supreme comfort and makes you proud to show off your house to friends.

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 Desire Area, 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.
