A dull or chipped tub in Golconda 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 look at your scarred tub and cringe with total despair? Well, bringing back that original shine saves you thousands over buying a brand new one. Plus, this smart fix gives your bathroom a fresh look without the messy demolition.
Now, tackling a dull porcelain surface requires special skills and heavy duty bonding agents. Fortunately, local pros handle this tricky chemical process safely in your home. By doing this, you avoid toxic fumes and get a gorgeous finish that lasts for years.
Old fixtures get porous over time and trap dirt deep inside the micro cracks. Consequently, scrubbing for hours does not make them look clean anymore. This leaves you feeling frustrated every single morning when you step inside for a quick wash.
Instead of living with that eyesore, you can book a local technician to spray a fresh polyurethane coat. This lets you enjoy a smooth and gleaming basin that feels great against your skin. Best of all, the entire project usually wraps up in just one single day.
First, the crew scrubs your stained porcelain using heavy industrial acid wash solutions. Next, they tape off your bathroom walls to protect your tiles from flying overspray. This careful prep work ensures the new coating grips the old tub permanently.
After that, they apply multiple layers of specialized primer and high gloss topcoat. Therefore, you end up with a brilliant surface that resists stubborn water spots and nasty soap scum. You simply wipe it down with a soft damp cloth to keep it shining.
Tearing out a heavy cast iron tub damages your floors and destroys your surrounding tilework. The estimate spells out parts and labor, so nothing comes as a surprise. Choosing to resurface keeps your existing plumbing completely untouched.
This clever choice cuts your remodeling expenses by up to seventy percent compared to total gut jobs. Meanwhile, you still get that brand new look you always wanted without breaking your bank account. That means more cash left over for your other household projects.

Properties carrying the ZIP code 62938 often feature vintage bathrooms with charming character. Preserving those vintage fixtures through modern spraying techniques keeps your historic home authentic. You get the best of both worlds with a sturdy old tub and a modern glossy finish.
When the technician arrives at your house, they bring all the necessary ventilation gear and safety masks. Because the chemical compounds smell quite strong during application, they set up exhaust fans right away. This keeps your indoor air clean while they work on your fixture.

Common Steps During Application
| Step Number | Action Taken | Main Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| One | Deep chemical cleaning | Removes all oils and embedded soap grime |
| Two | Surface etching | Creates tiny pores for maximum paint adhesion |
| Three | Spraying topcoat | Delivers a brilliant and glossy armor shield |
Following these precise steps guarantees that your newly coated basin will not peel or chip away prematurely. On top of that, your technician will leave you with easy care instructions to protect your investment. Following those simple rules ensures your fixture stays beautiful for a long time.
Harsh abrasive scouring powders will scratch your brand new coating and ruin the glossy finish. Instead, switch to mild dish soap and a non scratch sponge for your weekly cleanups. This simple habit protects the chemical bond and stops premature wear.
Standing water left in the bottom can also leave mineral rings if you have heavy well water. Drying the surface with a microfiber towel after your showers prevents those annoying water spots from forming. Taking these tiny extra steps pays off with a sparkling clean bathroom year round.
If you ever spot a small chip from a dropped shampoo bottle, call your pro for a quick patch. Fixing minor damage early stops water from seeping underneath the coating and causing larger issues. Your diligent care keeps your bathroom looking amazing decade after decade.

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 Golconda, 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.
