A dull or chipped tub in Grantville 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.

Truth is, those old heavy tubs in our local area take a real beating over the years. Scrubbing them with harsh chemical cleaners leaves tiny scratches that soak up grime like a dry sponge. Suddenly, your quiet relaxing soak feels like sitting inside an old dirty bucket...
Fortunately, you do not have to rip out your walls just to fix a ugly stained surface. Professional surface restoration coats your existing fixture with a super tough acrylic finish that looks totally brand new. Besides that, it saves you a mountain of hard earned cash compared to full demolition work.
Actually, my own uncle tried pulling out his old cast iron tub a few years back and broke his water pipes. That silly mistake turned a tiny weekend job into a huge costly nightmare that took weeks to repair! Avoiding that kind of crazy stress is why smart homeowners choose a quick resurfacing job instead.
First off, we clean off all the old soap scum using heavy duty industrial strippers. Next, any deep chips or nasty rust spots get filled up with high grade epoxy patches. After everything gets sanded super smooth, we spray on a sticky chemical bond so the new topcoat never peels off.
Consequently, the shiny new top layer locks out future water damage completely. Plus, the entire job only takes a couple hours from start to finish. You can even start using your shiny wash tub again after just one single day of drying time.
Replacing a built in soaking basin costs an absolute fortune when you add up all the hidden contractor fees. You gotta pay plumbers, tile guys, haulers, plus buy expensive new materials from the big box store. Conversely, getting a topcoat finish keeps money right inside your bank account where it belongs.
| Project Option | Average Cost | Time Required | Mess Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Tub Replacement | $3,500 - $7,000 | 3 to 7 Days | Huge Dust Disaster |
| Professional Spray Coating | $350 - $650 | 4 to 6 Hours | Zero Mess Left |
Obviously, the numbers show a huge difference that simply cannot be ignored. Furthermore, you avoid having dirty construction workers stomping through your hallway for a whole week. Getting a quick porcelain repair gives you the exact same visual look for a tiny fraction of the price.
Honestly, old vintage fixtures were built way tougher than the cheap plastic stuff sold today. Keeping your original iron or thick steel basin means keeping real heavy duty quality in your home. Furthermore, modern spray coatings create a glass like finish that is super easy to wipe clean with basic soap.
On top of that, you can choose custom colors to match your current room decor perfectly. Bright white is always popular, but off white or almond can look super classy too. Suddenly, that gross outdated yellow tub turns into an absolute masterpiece that shines bright.
Working in this awesome southern town means knowing the specific homes around our friendly neighborhood. With a cozy population of 3,219 residents, folks around here value honest trade work and real hard labor. Additionally, local families making the median household income of $52,929 want great value for every single dollar spent.
Whether you live near the historical train depot area or out in the quiet rural spaces of ZIP code 30220, dirty basins happen to everyone. Our local water minerals can create ugly brown ring stains around your drain over time. Thankfully, our high build enamel recoating shields your basin from those tricky rust spots forever.
Now, you might see those cheap paint kits at the hardware store and think it looks easy... But trust me, those cheap store bought cans do not hold up against hot water splashing around. Pretty soon, the paint bubbles up, flakes off into your bath water, and looks five times worse than before.
To be fair, professional sprayers use heavy ventilation fan setups and industrial grade synthetic resins. That specialized chemical reaction creates a rock hard molecular bond that store paint just can not do. Spending a little bit for a local pro prevents a massive headache down the line.
First, our expert technician arrives right on schedule with all the proper protective gear and masking paper. We carefully cover up your floor tile, vanity cabinet, and shiny chrome faucets so no overspray lands on them. After that, we exhaust all chemical fumes outside using specialized high power fan hoses.
Next comes the super critical etching step that roughens up the shiny factory glaze. This lets our acrylic bonding agent grip deep into the underlying material so it sticks forever. Finally, multiple thick layers of high gloss topcoat are applied using precise airless spray guns.
Once your shiny topcoat is totally cured, taking care of it is a walk in the park. Never use scratchy scouring pads or abrasive bleaching powders that scratch up the smooth top surface. Instead, simple dish soap or gentle spray cleaners keep the high shine looking brand spanking fresh.
Likewise, fixing any dripping faucets quickly helps preserve the smooth gloss layer around the drain hole. Simple care like dropping a soft bathmat down stops heavy objects from chipping your smooth surface... Following these easy steps guarantees your basin stays looking gorgeous for well over a decade!
Stop hiding your gross looking bath behind a dark closed shower curtain when guests come over to visit! You deserve a clean, sparkling white wash basin that feels totally amazing to soak in after work. Best of all, getting an accurate price estimate takes just a couple quick minutes of your time.
Today is the absolute best day to finally tackle that ugly bathroom project you have been putting off. Contact us right now to claim your completely free, no obligation estimate for your upcoming home project. Our friendly local team is ready to step up and make your home shine like new!
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 Grantville, 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.
