All over Harrison 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 wake up every single morning only to stare at that dingy, stained basin in your bathroom. Honestly, those ugly scratches and that faded, yellowish color can completely ruin your mood before you even brush your teeth. Fortunately, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a messy, loud demolition project just to get a sparkling clean surface again.
By choosing a smart, surface-renewing alternative, you can save a mountain of cash while achieving a gorgeous finish that looks brand new. Our local team specializes in bringing these worn-out fixtures back to life with zero stress for you. If you want to see how affordable this transformation is, we would love to give you a free quote today.
Instead of ripping out your entire plumbing setup, this specialized process applies a durable, high-gloss coating directly over your existing cast iron, steel, or fiberglass structure. First, we carefully clean the area with industrial-strength agents to remove decades of soap scum and mineral deposits. Then, we repair any deep chips or cracks so the foundation is completely smooth. Finally, we spray a premium acrylic polyurethane topcoat that bonds at a molecular level to create a brilliant, rock-hard shine.
This method saves you from hiring expensive plumbers who might tear up your walls and disrupt your daily routine for weeks. Actually, you can use your freshly coated basin again in just a couple of days. This means you avoid the headache of a dusty construction zone while still getting that bright, clean feeling you deserve.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple table showing why this smart update beats a full replacement hands down.
| Feature | Full Replacement | Our Refinishing Process |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very high (often thousands) | Extremely budget-friendly |
| Time Required | Up to a week of messy work | Finished in just a few hours |
| Demolition Mess | Tons of dust and broken tiles | Virtually none |
Whenever you choose to restore rather than replace, you keep heavy, non-biodegradable materials out of our local garbage dumps. Because of this eco-friendly choice, you reduce waste while preserving the classic character of your home. Which means you can feel great about your carbon footprint while enjoying a stunning, modern bathroom.
On top of that, older fixtures often feature incredibly tough construction that is hard to find in modern, cheap replacements. By keeping your original heavy-duty basin, you retain that classic durability while upgrading the outer aesthetics. Thus, you get the best of both worlds without breaking the bank.
First, we mask off your entire bathroom with protective paper and plastic sheets to shield your floors and walls from any overspray. Next, we set up a powerful ventilation system to extract any fumes directly out of the nearest window. This ensures your indoor air stays as clean and fresh as possible during our visit.
After preparing the room, we apply a special bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor for the new finish. Following this crucial step, we spray multiple layers of our high-tech coating using advanced, professional equipment. Consequently, the finish dries to a seamless, glass-like luster that resists stains and peeling for years to come.
Once our team finishes the job, taking care of your glossy new basin is incredibly easy. You just need to avoid abrasive bleach powders and scratchy scrubbing pads that can dull the shine over time. Instead, we recommend using mild, non-abrasive liquid soaps and a soft microfiber cloth to keep it gleaming.
Actually, this simple cleaning routine prevents dirt from sticking, which saves you hours of hard scrubbing every week. This lets you spend your weekends relaxing instead of fighting stubborn grime on your hands and knees. You will love how effortless it is to keep your bathroom looking pristine.

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.
