Look, nobody likes staring at a ugly yellowed basin while trying to soak after work. Honestly, years of harsh soap scum and bath toys mess up your original finish real bad. Naturally, replacing the whole huge fixture means tearing out walls and spending your hard-earned savings.
By choosing professional surface restoration, you save thousands of bucks instantly. Guess what, this simple fix breathes new life into your dull washbasin in just a single morning. That means you get a shiny basin without paying huge plumbing fees or enduring weeks of messy construction work.
Luckily, my own uncle tried pulling out his heavy cast iron monster a few years ago. Furthermore, he ended up smashing his hall doorway and breaking three floor tiles! Therefore, going with a smooth cosmetic renewal keeps your home intact while delivering mind-blowing shine.
First off, our hard working crews scrub off every bit of hidden oil and grimy filth. After that, we apply specialized acid etching solutions to create tiny deep microscopic pores in the porcelain. Because of this rough base, high-tech liquid polymer bonds deeply to the original heavy iron body.
Next, we fill up every single annoying chip and ugly crack using heavy duty epoxy paste. Consequently, your ancient surface becomes totally flat and super smooth to the touch once again. Now, our trained crews spray multiple coats of ultra-durable acrylic topcoat across the whole basin.
Suddenly, that scratched surface transforms into a gleaming bright centerpiece that dazzles your guests completely. Plus, you get a solid non-porous layer that fights off gross mold and dark mildew stains effortlessly. Truly, it feels like buying a brand new fixture straight out of a fancy showroom catalog!
| Project Type | Average Cost | Time Required | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|

| Professional Surface Refinishing | Super affordable budget | Under four hours | Zero mess left |
To begin with, look at those numbers up there because they prove how much cash stays in your bank account. On top of that, skipping full replacement keeps heavy old fixtures out of local landfills around our famous crescent bend area. Clearly, going green while saving cash is a huge win for any smart local homeowner.
Besides, taking out old plumbing creates massive water leaks behind your clean dry drywall. Unquestionably, our fast bonding technique shields your home from expensive hidden water damage issues. As a result, you preserve your cute historical house charm while getting modern luxury everyday.
Up front, our extreme local humidity down here in Orléans Parish makes traditional paint peel off instantly. Meanwhile, heavy air moisture traps deep inside old enamel coating and ruins weak surface sealants quickly. Fortunately, our premium commercial formulas are tough enough to handle our local sweltering sticky summers without blistering.
Specifically, families living around the 70122 ZIP code area face unique salty air conditions constantly. Actually, median income households in this lovely zero-population neighborhood love keeping their classic homes looking top notch without breaking the bank. For this reason, choosing local experts who understand our unique gulf climate guarantees your shiny topcoat lasts for decades.
Even better, our specialized high-performance finish resists tough lime buildup from municipal water lines. Likewise, routine cleaning becomes way easier because dirt slides right off the super sleek glossy floor. So, you spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees every single weekend!
Surprisingly, prep work takes up almost eighty percent of our total time inside your home bathroom. First, we mask off all surrounding tile walls using thick paper and sticky blue tape completely. With this careful setup, zero overspray ever touches your nice vanity mirrors or polished chrome faucets.
Afterward, we set up powerful exhaust fans out your nearest glass window frame. Actually, these big industrial fans clear out chemical odors real fast so your house stays smelling fresh. Ultimately, this professional step lets you sleep comfortably in your own warm bed the very same night.
Then, we carefully lay down advanced non-slip textures onto the slick bottom surface if you want extra safety. Specifically, this helpful safety feature stops scary slips and bad falls for elderly folks and tiny running toddlers. Consequently, your daily shower time becomes super safe and completely stress-free for the whole family.
Honestly, buying cheap DIY paint kits from the big box hardware store usually turns into a total nightmare. Often, those store coatings chip off in ugly sheets after just three short weeks of warm showers. Sadly, removing failed DIY store paint costs twice as much money as doing it right the very first time!
Indeed, real industrial application tools cost thousands of dollars and take years of practice to master properly. Except for trained technicians, nobody can spray a completely flat glossy sheen without leaving annoying drips and bubbles. Therefore, trusting experienced hands ensures your lovely bathroom looks like a million bucks every single day.
Furthermore, we always provide clear straightforward maintenance tips so your shiny washbasin stays looking brand new forever. For example, staying away from harsh abrasive bleaching powders keeps your glossy protective barrier shiny and scratch-free. Simply put, basic dish soap and soft microfiber cloths are all you ever need for routine cleaning!

Immediately, we inspect your underlying structure for hidden rust spots or severe hairline stress cracks.

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 Gentilly Woods, 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.
