A dull or chipped tub in Hereford 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.
You stare at that ugly, stained basin every single morning and wonder if you need a sledgehammer to fix your bathroom woes. Actually, there is a much cheaper way to get that sparkling shine back without tearing down your walls. Our local team visits your home to restore your existing fixture to its original glory for a fraction of the cost of a full remodel.
This budget-friendly magic transforms your worn-out wash area in just a single afternoon. By choosing this smart route, you skip the dusty nightmare of demolition while still getting a surface that looks brand new. We want to help you fall in love with your bathroom again, so we always offer a completely free on-site estimate to get you started.
Many folks do not realize that the thick, glossy finish on their heavy cast iron or fiberglass tubs can actually be saved and rebuilt on-site. Instead of paying thousands of dollars for plumbers and tile contractors, you can have a skilled technician apply a high-tech liquid acrylic coating right over your prepped basin. This process creates a chemical bond that locks out moisture and covers up those nasty rust spots or chips. You get a durable, glossy shield that feels incredibly smooth to the touch and looks like it just came from the showroom floor.
To give you a better idea of how this compares to a messy replacement, we put together a quick comparison table below.
| Factor | Our Restoration Service | Traditional Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable, usually a fraction of replacement | High expense due to plumbing and tile work |
| Time to Complete | Finished in 4 to 8 hours | Days or weeks of noisy construction work |
| Mess and Dust | Minimal, we seal off the room completely | Extreme drywall dust, debris, and trash piles |
Now, you can see why so many homeowners prefer this clever shortcut. The final result gives you immense satisfaction because you save a massive pile of cash while getting a gorgeous, clean space. On top of that, your old fixture stays out of the local landfill, which is a great win for our environment too.

Because we live and work in Hereford, Texas, we treat your home with the utmost respect, just like we would treat our neighbor's house. This means we show up on time, protect your floors, and clean up every speck of dust before we pack up our truck. Which means you can relax in your living room while we do all the hard work in your bathroom.
First, we clean the surface with specialized industrial cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum, body oils, and lime buildup. This critical step ensures that the new chemical layers will grip the old material with absolute authority. If we find any deep gouges, cracks, or rust holes, we fill them with a durable waterproof compound and sand them completely flat. Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that acts like a microscopic glue to fuse the old substrate with our premium topcoat.
After the prep work is complete, we use professional spray equipment to apply several layers of a high-performance acrylic polyurethane gloss. This specialized material cures into a rock-hard finish that resists impacts and stands up to daily hot baths. Finally, we carefully remove all our protective masking tape and leave your bathroom looking incredibly clean and refreshed. You simply need to let the surface cure for a day or two before you hop in for a relaxing soak...
While this process works absolute wonders on old cast iron, steel, and fiberglass, it does require a little bit of care to keep it looking pristine. You should avoid abrasive bleach powders or harsh scrubbing pads that can dull the shiny finish over time. Instead, we recommend using mild dish soaps or gentle spray cleaners to wipe away dirt without scratching the surface. This simple maintenance routine ensures your beautiful new finish stays bright and shiny for many years to come.
Another thing to consider is that this service cannot fix structural movement or major flexing in cheap plastic tub bottoms. If your floor feels spongy when you stand on it, we might need to inject a supportive foam underneath before we begin our prep work. This extra attention to detail prevents future cracking and guarantees a solid foundation for your beautiful new coating.

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 Hereford, 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.
