All over Gallia 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You look at that stained, outdated basin every single morning and feel a instant wave of defeat. That dull finish and those stubborn rust rings make your entire washroom feel dirty no matter how hard you scrub. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy demolition project to fix this headache.
By choosing to restore the original surface of your heavy fixture, you save a mountain of cash while getting a brilliant, high-gloss shine that looks brand new. Our local crew travels right to your home to spray a durable, specialized coating that bonds directly to your old porcelain or fiberglass. This smart choice means you can keep using your reliable old tub without dealing with the nightmare of tearing out walls or hiring expensive plumbers.
To make things even better, we want to help you start this exciting home upgrade today by offering a completely free estimate. You just need to reach out to our friendly team, and we will look at your project to give you a clear, honest price. Our skilled technicians handle all the prep work, safety measures, and cleanup so you can sit back and watch your bathroom transform.
Actually, replacing a built-in cast iron tub is a massive construction job that often damages your floor tiles, drywall, and plumbing. When you opt for our professional surface refinishing process, we complete the entire job in just a few hours. This means you avoid the dust, noise, and weeks of waiting that come with a traditional remodel.
On top of that, older tubs are often made of incredibly tough materials that are much better quality than the cheap acrylic units sold today. Keeping your original fixture preserves the character of your home while giving you a pristine, ultra-smooth layer that resists future stains. Why throw away a solid, well-made piece of history when we can make it look like it just came off the showroom floor?
This specialized coating process acts as a protective shield against moisture, mold, and daily wear. Which means you will spend far less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemical cleaners. A simple wipe with a mild soap is all it takes to keep that sparkling luster alive for years to come.
First, we clean the area with industrial-strength solutions to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and hard water deposits. This crucial step ensures that our bonding agents can grip the underlying material with absolute strength. After repairing any deep chips or cracks with a waterproof filler, we apply a proprietary molecular primer to fuse the old surface with the new one.
Next, our technicians use professional spray equipment to apply multiple layers of a high-tech acrylic urethane topcoat. This careful application creates a seamless, non-porous barrier that looks identical to brand-new porcelain. Finally, we let the material cure, leaving you with a durable finish that easily handles hot water and daily scrubbings.
To help you compare the two main options for updating your bathroom, we put together a simple breakdown of the differences:
| Project Factor | Professional Surface Resurfacing | Full Tub Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Highly affordable, budget-friendly | Very expensive with plumbing fees |
| Time to Complete | Usually done in 4 to 6 hours | Can take 3 to 7 days of messy work |
| Durability | Lasts 10 to 15 years with proper care | Depends on the quality of the new tub |
| Mess & Dust | Very minimal, localized venting used | High amount of drywall dust and debris |

You might see cheap paint-on kits at the local home improvement store and think about tackling this job yourself over the weekend. However, those retail products lack the industrial bonding agents needed to create a permanent chemical fuse. Most DIY attempts end up peeling, cracking, and bubbling within a few months, forcing you to pay even more to have the mess stripped and redone.
Our professional crew uses commercial-grade spray guns that lay down an incredibly even, factory-smooth coat without brush marks or runs. We also have the safety equipment required to handle the strong fumes safely and vent them completely out of your home. Investing in our professional service saves you from frustration, wasted money, and a ruined bathroom fixture.
We know that inviting tradespeople into your personal space can feel a bit stressful and disruptive. Because of this, our polite technicians always show up on time, respect your property, and wear protective footwear to keep your floors clean. We treat your home with the exact same level of care and attention that we would show to our own families.
Moreover, we make sure to explain every step of the process so you feel completely comfortable with the work being done. We never cut corners, use cheap materials, or leave a mess behind for you to clean up. Our goal is to leave your bathroom looking spectacular while putting a giant smile on your face.
If you have any questions about how to care for your newly coated fixture, we are always here to give you helpful tips. We believe in building long-term relationships with our clients through honesty, superb craftsmanship, and friendly service.

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.
