In Florida Projects, 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.
Do you look at your worn out wash tub and sigh every morning? Well, that stained porcelain surface can actually get a brand new life without a messy tear out.
Today we talk about saving money while updating your daily routine space in Louisiana. Keep reading to discover how a simple local service changes everything.
Many homeowners wonder if painting an old bathing basin actually lasts for years. Naturally, the process involves spraying a high tech polymer coating over your existing structure. This lets you skip weeks of heavy demolition work in your home.
Furthermore, skilled technicians clean and etch the material before applying bonding agents. Such careful preparation ensures the glossy finish stays stuck tightly for a long time.
Pulling out a heavy iron basin destroys surrounding tiles and drains very quickly. Instead of paying thousands for a total bathroom gut job, resurfacing costs a fraction of that amount. Which means you keep extra money in your savings account.
On top of that, nobody wants to live in a construction zone for two solid weeks. Choosing this quick remedy gives you a shiny wash basin back in just one day.
First of all, you must clear out all shampoo bottles and bath toys from the room. Then, local pros tape off your walls and floors to catch any overspray. This protects your entire bathroom from accidental paint drops.
Afterwards, technicians scrub away years of soap scum and hard water mineral deposits. Such thorough cleaning helps the new liquid finish grab onto the old surface securely.
That annoying chip near the drain looks much worse than it actually is. Workers fill those deep gouges with waterproof epoxy filler before spraying the top layer. This gives you a smooth and uniform basin bottom once again.
Plus, repairing structural damage stops leaks from ruining your subfloor underneath. You avoid costly plumbing repairs by fixing surface flaws right now.
Are you tired of that dated pink or avocado green basin from the seventies? Fortunately, you can pick a crisp modern white or a soft almond tone instead. This custom touch updates your room style instantly.
Meanwhile, matching your newly coated tub with existing tiles creates a harmonious visual flow. Your guests will assume you spent a small fortune on a complete remodel.
Harsh abrasive scrubbers will scratch the fresh polymer coating in no time flat. Instead, use mild dish soap and a soft sponge to keep things sparkling clean. This simple habit preserves that glossy shine for many years.
Additionally, avoid leaving wet rubber mats sitting inside the basin for days on end. Taking care of your updated fixture guarantees lasting beauty and everyday joy.
Most crews arrive right on time with all necessary ventilation fans and spray rigs. They set up proper exhaust systems so fumes do not bother your household. This professional approach makes the upgrade day completely stress free.
By late afternoon, the spraying process ends and the curing phase begins. You simply wait twenty four hours before enjoying a nice relaxing soak.
Finding a reliable contractor in your neighborhood does not have to feel overwhelming. You want someone with plenty of hands on experience and great local reviews. Checking past project photos gives you confidence in their craftsmanship.
Furthermore, trustworthy pros always stand behind their work with a solid written warranty. This peace of mind protects your investment against peeling or fading.
Remodeling a wash room usually drains your bank account faster than expected. Traditional replacements involve plumber fees, tile setters, and dumpster rental costs. Selecting a surface refresh eliminates all those extra bills.
Consequently, your return on investment shoots way up when selling your house later. Buyers love walking into a bathroom with a gleaming, spotless bathing fixture.
Some folks believe that sprayed finishes peel off after just a few showers. Modern chemical bonds make the new layer almost impossible to separate from the original porcelain. Your updated basin handles daily use just like a brand new one.
Another myth says the strong chemical odor lingers inside your house for weeks. Advanced low odor coatings dissipate quickly with proper ventilation during the application.
Are you ready to transform your outdated wash room without breaking a sweat? Stop hiding your stained tub behind a dirty shower curtain every single day. Reach out to our local team today for a completely free estimate.
We come right out to your property to inspect the damage and discuss your options. Let us help you bring your bathroom back to life right now.
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 Florida Projects, 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.
