Many homeowners believe they must buy a new tub when the old one loses its shine. However, the actual purchase price of a new basin is only a tiny fraction of the total replacement cost. You also have to pay for expensive demolition, waste disposal, and costly tile repairs.
This is where our professional surface restoration process saves the day. We focus entirely on renewing the fixture you already own, which keeps your existing plumbing and tiles completely intact. This smart approach keeps your hard-earned money in your wallet while delivering the exact same beautiful look.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple breakdown of the two paths. Take a look at how the smart renewal method stacks up against a traditional replacement:
| Project Factor | Full Replacement Method | Our Surface Renewal Method |
|---|---|---|
| Total Project Duration | Usually 3 to 7 days of loud construction | Finished in just 4 to 6 hours |
| Average Total Cost | Very expensive due to plumbing and tile work | Extremely budget-friendly and affordable |
| Mess and Dust Levels | Plaster dust and debris everywhere | Virtually no mess left behind |
Now that you see the clear advantages, you can make an informed choice for your home. Our local crew handles the entire process with extreme care and precision. We stand ready to visit your home and give you a free, highly accurate quote.
You might wonder how we turn a dingy, stained surface into a sparkling masterpiece so quickly. First, we thoroughly clean the area using specialized heavy-duty cleaners to strip away soap scum and mineral deposits. This critical step ensures the new coating bonds perfectly to the original material.
Next, we carefully repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots using high-grade polyester fillers. This creates a perfectly flat, seamless surface that looks like it just came from the factory. After that, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like superglue between the old tub and the new finish.
Finally, we spray multiple layers of a premium, high-tech acrylic topcoat using advanced spray equipment. This creates a beautiful, non-porous barrier that resists impact and retains a brilliant shine for years. Once we finish, your bathroom feels fresh, clean, and incredibly inviting once again.
Because we use professional-grade coatings, proper ventilation is absolutely essential for a safe application. We use powerful exhaust fans and flexible ductwork to pull all fumes and overspray directly out of your home. This keeps your indoor air clean and ensures your family remains perfectly safe and comfortable.
On top of that, our experienced technicians always wear advanced safety gear during the application process. We treat your home with the utmost respect and leave the workspace spotless. You can rest easy knowing we handle every single detail with professional care.
To keep your renewed tub looking spectacular, you only need to follow a few simple cleaning rules. You must avoid abrasive scouring powders and harsh scrubbing pads, which can dull the shiny finish over time. Instead, simply use mild liquid dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth to wipe it down.
This easy maintenance routine saves you time and keeps your bathroom looking immaculate with very little effort. Which means you spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees and more time enjoying your life. We love sharing these helpful maintenance tips with our local clients to ensure long-lasting results.
Whether you own a charming historic home near the beautiful Georgia coast or a modern suburban property, this service fits perfectly. We proudly serve the wonderful communities throughout Glynn County, where beautiful marsh views meet classic Southern architecture. Our local expertise allows us to understand the unique needs of homes in this coastal environment.
For example, high humidity levels can sometimes accelerate wear and tear on older bathroom fixtures. Our premium moisture-resistant coatings are specifically designed to withstand these humid conditions without peeling or bubbling. This ensures your bathroom stays gorgeous regardless of the sticky summer weather outside.
Additionally, we love preserving original cast iron clawfoot tubs that possess incredible historic character. Replacing these heavy antique treasures is a logistical nightmare and ruins the authentic charm of an older home. Our restoration process preserves that vintage soul while giving the surface a pristine, modern upgrade.
When you work with a local business, you get personal attention and honest service from neighbors who truly care.

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.

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