All over Hickman 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.
Do you look at your old stained tub and sigh every single morning. That tired ceramic surface makes your whole bathroom feel dated and grubby. Luckily our local pros fix chips and dull finishes right on site.
Today we talk about fixing up that battered old basin without spending a small fortune. Nobody wants a messy demolition project that takes weeks to finish. Fortunately you can skip the demo crew and save your hard-earned cash.
Instead of ripping out heavy cast iron we spray a high-tech coating directly over the existing material. This clever method saves you days of heavy construction dust. Furthermore it gives your bathroom a gorgeous sheen that mimics high-end luxury.
During the process our techs use powerful ventilation systems to keep your home safe. After we finish you get a sparkling smooth basin that feels wonderful to step into. That means no more scrubbing at stubborn rust stains that never seem to vanish.
Replacing a vintage fixture requires plumbing work and expensive tile repairs around the edges. By contrast our spraying service finishes the job in just a few short hours. Because of this smart choice your family regains bathroom access almost immediately.
Smart homeowners love keeping their original layout intact while upgrading the aesthetics. Each project uses industrial-grade acrylic urethane that resists everyday wear and tear. Consequently your newly polished tub stays gorgeous for many years to come.
First our crew scrubs the entire basin to eliminate soap scum and body oils. Then we apply a strong etching compound to help the primer stick tightly. Proper prep ensures your new coating will never peel or bubble later.
Next we patch up any ugly chips or deep scratches using waterproof epoxy fillers. Once the surface is completely smooth we mask off the surrounding tile and flooring. This meticulous approach protects your bathroom from any stray spray.
Now the actual coating goes on using a specialized high-volume low-pressure spray gun. This technique lays down a wonderfully even layer that looks completely factory-fresh. Meanwhile the bonding agents lock the new material securely onto the old substrate.
Following the color coats we apply a glossy clear coat for extra durability. This protective layer stops fading and keeps the color vibrant through daily use. Ultimately you end up with a gleaming showpiece that transforms your entire washroom.
Deciding between a full replacement and a surface refresh can feel confusing at first. Let us break down the main differences so you can make an informed choice. Check out this quick comparison table to see the numbers clearly.
| Feature | Full Replacement | Our Surface Refresh |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | One to two weeks | Just one day |
| Mess | Heavy demolition debris | Zero structural mess |
| Cost | Thousands of dollars | A fraction of replacement |
Looking at these facts makes the smarter choice pretty obvious for most budgets. Besides saving money you also avoid dealing with grumpy plumbing contractors for weeks. Every single project we tackle comes with our personal satisfaction guarantee.
Our gorgeous region sits nestled right in the heart of middle Tennessee with a peaceful country atmosphere. Folks out here cherish their historic homes and vintage farmhouse charm. Preserving these older fixtures honors the rich heritage of our local neighborhoods.
Many houses feature deep cast iron basins that modern builders simply do not make anymore. Keeping those sturdy relics saves you from settling for cheap plastic alternatives. Therefore you get to enjoy vintage durability combined with a brand new look.
Home values rise when your bathrooms look clean and updated for visiting guests. Upgrading your worn surfaces acts as a wise investment if you plan to sell soon. Best of all you get to enjoy the luxurious feel right now.
Local residents often struggle with hard water mineral deposits that ruin porcelain over time. Our specialized treatment wipes out those mineral scars and leaves a non-porous shield behind. That means your routine cleaning chores become wonderfully quick and easy.
Harsh abrasive scrubbers will ruin your new finish faster than anything else out there. Instead you should stick to gentle dish soap and a soft sponge. This simple habit protects the glossy surface from micro-scratches.
Bleach-heavy chemical cleaners are totally unnecessary once the protective coating is in place. Warm soapy water removes dirt effortlessly without damaging the high-tech polymers. Hence your basin maintains its stunning mirror shine with minimal effort.
Dropping heavy glass bottles directly onto the porcelain can cause annoying chips or cracks. Placing a rubber bath mat down provides a nice cushion against heavy impacts. Taking these tiny precautions ensures your investment lasts for decades.
If a minor chip does happen somehow you should call us for a quick touch-up. Catching small problems early stops water from seeping beneath the coating. Consequently your fixture stays in pristine condition year after year.
Waiting too long lets rust eat deeper into the metal underneath your porcelain. Once the damage gets too severe even our spraying techniques might not work. Acting right now stops small cosmetic flaws from turning into major expenses.
Your daily routine deserves a relaxing and beautiful space to unwind in every evening. Step away from that embarrassing stained tub and treat yourself to an upgrade. You will wonder why you waited so long to fix it.
Our friendly local team is ready to inspect your bathroom and explain your options clearly. We never pressure you into buying services you do not actually need. Transparency guides every single interaction we have with our wonderful neighbors.

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.
