All over Effingham 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.
You wake up every single morning only to stare at that ugly, stained basin where you wash daily.

By requesting your quote today, you can take the first step toward a beautiful home without spending a dime upfront. Let us help you fall in love with your bathroom all over again.
Maybe you are wondering how this magic process actually works when we arrive at your house. First, we carefully clean the existing fixture using special chemical cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures that the new materials will bond perfectly to the old substrate.
After that, we repair any deep chips or cracks using a heavy-duty polyester filler that cures incredibly fast. Which means those annoying eyesores vanish completely before we even start the main application. We then apply a high-tech bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old porcelain and our new coatings.
Finally, our skilled technicians spray several layers of a premium acrylic polyurethane gloss using specialized high-volume, low-pressure equipment. This advanced technique creates a incredibly smooth, non-porous finish that looks exactly like a brand-new fixture from the showroom. You get a gorgeous result that lasts for many years with just basic maintenance.
Let us talk about the real numbers because nobody wants to throw hard-earned cash down the drain. Replacing a cast iron or steel tub requires tearing out walls, hiring expensive plumbers, and dealing with days of absolute chaos. On top of that, you often have to replace the surrounding tiles because the old ones break during the rip-out.
Choosing our specialized coating service instead keeps your original layout intact while completely updating the style. This smart alternative saves you up to seventy percent of the cost of a traditional replacement. Additionally, the entire process takes only a single day, so you can use your shower again almost immediately.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple table detailing the differences between these two home improvement routes:
| Factor to Consider | Our Restoration Service | Full Demolition & Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Cost | Very affordable, usually under a thousand dollars | Extremely expensive, often costing several thousands |
| Time to Complete | Finished in less than four to eight hours | Takes days or even weeks of noisy construction work |
| Mess and Dust Level | Minimal, we mask off everything completely | Massive amounts of drywall dust and heavy debris |
| Lifespan of Finish | Lasts ten to fifteen years with proper care | Depends entirely on the quality of the new tub purchased |
We take immense pride in serving the wonderful community of Effingham County, Georgia, where southern hospitality meets high standards. Our local crew understands the unique needs of homeowners in this thriving region, which boasts a population of over sixty-four thousand friendly residents. We know that hard-working families with a median household income of around seventy-five thousand dollars appreciate real value and honest work.
Whether you live in Springfield, Guyton, or Rincon within the local ZIP codes like 31329, 31312, or 31326, we are just a quick drive away. Because we are locals, we can easily pop over to your house to look at your project in person. This proximity allows us to give you an incredibly accurate estimate without any hidden surprises or pressure tactics.
Our deep connection to the area means we treat every single home like it belongs to our own neighbor. We do not believe in cutting corners or using cheap DIY kits that peel off after a few months of use. Instead, we invest in the best commercial-grade resins and safety equipment to ensure a flawless finish every time.
When you book an appointment with us, we arrive on time with all the necessary tools to protect your home. First, we set up a powerful exhaust fan system with a flexible duct leading to the outdoors. This setup safely draws out all the odors and overspray so your indoor air stays clean and safe.
Next, we meticulously mask off your walls, floors, and vanity using heavy paper and premium painter's tape. This careful preparation guarantees that the spray only lands on the specific fixture we are working on. We take this prep work very seriously because a clean job site is the sign of a true professional.
Once the prep is done, we apply the primer and the glossy topcoats, allowing proper curing time between each step. After we finish spraying, we remove all our masking materials and clean up the work area thoroughly. Finally, we explain how to care for your new surface so it stays shiny and beautiful for a very long time.
Taking care of your upgraded bathroom fixture is actually much easier than dealing with old, porous porcelain. Since the new acrylic finish is completely non-porous, dirt and soap scum cannot find a place to stick. However, you must avoid using abrasive powder cleansers or harsh scrubbing pads that can dull the gloss over time.
Instead, we recommend using mild liquid dish soaps or gentle spray cleaners along with a soft microfiber cloth. This simple routine keeps the surface looking incredibly bright and reflective without causing any micro-scratches. Regular cleaning after each use also prevents hard water minerals from building up on the beautiful finish.
Additionally, you should never leave wet bottles of shampoo or heavy toys sitting on the ledge for long periods. Standing water trapped under bottles can eventually weaken the bond of any coating, no matter how strong. By following these easy guidelines, you will enjoy a stunning, spa-like bathroom for over a decade.
Now is the perfect time to stop putting off this essential home improvement project and enjoy your space.

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.
