A dull or chipped tub in Foley 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.
Do you stare at your cracked and stained bathroom basin wishing it looked new again? You can transform that ugly eyesore into a shiny masterpiece without breaking the bank or dealing with a massive renovation mess.
Maybe you think replacing that heavy porcelain tub requires a small fortune and weeks of living in a construction zone. Luckily you have a much better way to achieve total satisfaction and visual appeal without the demolition drama.
Basically this process involves applying a high-tech liquid coating to your existing unit to make it look brand new. Think of it as giving your old fixture a fresh skin that resists water damage and daily wear for years to come.
Instead of tearing out walls and plumbing you simply let a skilled professional smooth out the chips and fill the cracks. This saves you thousands of dollars while providing a durable surface that feels just as smooth as the original material.
On top of that the chemical bonding process creates a non-porous seal that stops mold from growing in those nasty little crevices. Which means your morning routine becomes way more hygienic and much easier to scrub down on weekends.
Because the new finish is incredibly tough it stands up to harsh cleaning supplies and heavy use from the kids. You get the benefit of a pristine look that stays bright white without needing constant attention or expensive replacement parts.
Living in a place like Foley, Alabama with its 17,818 residents means you value your hard-earned money and your free time. Most folks around here know that median household income levels around $46,221 mean you want smart investments that last a long time.
When you reside in Baldwin County and use codes like 36535 or 36536 you definitely want a contractor who respects your home. Instead of hiring a loud crew to rip out pipes you choose a tidy worker who gets in and out quickly.
Furthermore the environmental impact of dumping old heavy fixtures into the local landfill is a real concern for everyone. By keeping your current tub you reduce waste and show some love to the beautiful landscape we all share here.
| Feature | Benefit for you |
|---|---|
| Chemical bonding | Lasting durability |
| Resurfacing process | Saves thousands |
| Non-porous seal | Prevents mold growth |
| Fast application | Minimal disruption |
First the technician cleans the entire surface with specialized acids to strip away soap scum and grime. This ensures the new layer sticks perfectly and does not peel off after just a few months of heavy use.
Next they carefully repair any chips or deep gouges using a high-grade filler that cures rapidly. This leaves you with a perfectly level foundation that looks like it just came off the factory assembly line yesterday.
Then comes the application of the specialized adhesive primer that acts as the backbone of your new finish. Finally they spray the high-gloss topcoat to give your bathroom that luxurious sheen you always wanted.
People often wonder if this treatment will actually hold up against the daily abuse of a busy family home. Because the material is formulated for high-traffic areas it resists chipping and peeling far better than cheap store-bought kits.
Now you might be worried about the smell during the application phase since it involves strong chemicals. Modern methods use high-speed ventilation systems to keep the air fresh so you can go back to using your bathroom shortly after.
What about those stubborn rust stains around the drain that keep coming back every single summer? Our process seals those problem areas tight so water cannot reach the metal underneath to cause that ugly orange bleeding.
Whether you have an old cast iron beast or a lightweight fiberglass shell we have the right tools. Each material requires a slightly different approach to make sure the bond stays strong for many years.
Perhaps you want a specific shade of white or even a custom color to match your tile work. You can customize the final look to match your specific vision while enjoying the ease of a simplified maintenance schedule.
Basically this service is the ultimate secret to upgrading your property value without the typical stresses of major home improvements. You get the look of a high-end spa space while spending significantly less than the price of a total tear-out.
Before we arrive you should clear all personal items like shampoos and soaps from the surrounding ledge. This lets our team work safely and ensures no stray droplets land on your favorite bottles or bath toys.
Also please make sure the area is dry so the bonding agents perform at their absolute peak level. Taking care of these small details helps us get the job done faster and keeps your home peaceful.
Now you might be wondering how long you have to wait before taking your next relaxing soak in the tub. Usually you just need to wait about twenty-four hours to let the materials fully cure and harden.
Leaving chips and cracks untreated is a recipe for disaster that will definitely cost you more later. Moisture hides in those cracks and causes rot in your subfloor which is a much bigger and scarier problem.
On the other hand taking action now stops those tiny leaks before they turn into major water damage. Which means you are actually protecting your investment by being proactive today rather than waiting for a crisis.
Think of it as preventive maintenance for your home that keeps everything running smoothly for the long haul. You deserve a space that makes you feel good every single morning without worrying about hidden mold or decay.

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 Foley, 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.

The technician who picks up when you call works these streets, so the ledger below is home turf rather than trivia.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
