A dull or chipped tub in Escobares 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.

Most folks do not realize that their old tub is actually structurally sound despite those ugly stains. Over time, the original factory glaze wears thin, which allows dirt and soap scum to bond with the porous material underneath. Consequently, no amount of scrubbing seems to get it clean anymore, which leaves you feeling frustrated.
This is where our specialized process saves the day by sealing up those pores with a high-tech liquid acrylic. First, we strip away the old soap film and apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue. After that, we spray on several coats of a specialized topcoat that cures into a rock-hard, glossy shield.
To help you compare your options, we put together a quick look at how this process stacks up against a full replacement.
| Factor | Our Refinishing Method | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cost | Very affordable, usually saving up to 75% | Extremely high due to plumbing and tile work |
| Time to Complete | Finished in less than 24 hours | Can take a week or more of messy construction |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal, with all areas carefully masked off | Heavy dust, broken tiles, and drywall debris |
Obviously, the choice becomes pretty clear when you look at the time and money you save. Why pay for a brand new tub when your current one just needs a professional face-lift? You get the exact same visual upgrade for a fraction of the price.
Living down here in the southern tip of the Lone Star State means dealing with unique water conditions. Specifically, the local water supply can be pretty hard on your bathroom fixtures, leaving stubborn mineral deposits that ruin the shine. Because of this, our special coatings are formulated to resist chemical wear and heavy mineral buildup over time.
We take pride in serving our community of 2,529 residents with honest, reliable labor that fits your family budget. Since the median household income in this beautiful area sits around $21,199, we know that every hard-earned dollar needs to stretch as far as possible. That is why we focus on delivering top-tier luxury vibes without charging you those big-city prices.
Whether you live in the ZIP code 78584 area or just nearby, we travel directly to your home with all our professional gear. You do not have to worry about renting tools or buying expensive chemicals that might ruin your lungs. We handle the dirty work safely while you sit back and relax.
When you choose to restore rather than replace, you keep heavy cast iron and fiberglass out of our local landfills. In addition, this choice preserves the charm of older homes that often feature unique tub shapes and sizes. New tubs are often made of flimsy plastic that feels cheap, whereas your old fixture is likely built like a tank.
Moreover, the new non-porous surface is incredibly easy to wipe down with mild soap. You can finally throw away those harsh abrasive cleaners that scratch your skin and burn your eyes. This means less cleaning time for you and more time enjoying a sparkling, hygienic bathroom.
Naturally, we start by thoroughly cleaning the entire work area to remove any traces of silicone, oil, and soap scum. Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or cracks using a heavy-duty waterproof filler. This step ensures the final surface looks perfectly smooth, without any unsightly bumps or dips.
Following that, we mask off your walls, floors, and fixtures with protective paper to prevent any overspray. Then, we set up a powerful exhaust fan to vent any chemical fumes safely out of your window. Lastly, we apply the premium coating layers using a professional HVLP spray system for a flawless finish.
Once our team finishes the job, you need to treat your newly coated surface with a little bit of respect. Although the new finish is incredibly tough, using abrasive pads or bleach can dull the shine over time. Instead, we recommend using a soft sponge and a mild liquid dish soap to keep it looking brand new.
Another smart tip is to avoid leaving wet bottles or damp washcloths sitting on the ledge for days. Standing water can eventually weaken the bond, which might lead to peeling down the road. By following these simple rules, your restored fixture will easily look gorgeous for a decade or more.
Sometimes, customers ask us if they can do this work themselves with a cheap kit from the local hardware store. Honestly, those brush-on DIY kits usually start peeling within a few months because they lack professional-grade bonding agents. Our commercial materials require specialized training and safety equipment to apply correctly, which guarantees a long-lasting result.
If you are tired of looking at that ugly, stained basin every single morning, it is time to take action. You do not have to live with a bathroom that makes you feel embarrassed when guests visit your home. Our friendly local pros are ready to drive out to your property and give you a honest, upfront quote.

We believe in transparent pricing because we live and work right here in Escobares, Texas, and treat our neighbors like family.

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 Escobares, 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.

Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
