A dull or chipped tub in Hickory Hill 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 can actually transform your worn bathroom without ripping out the plumbing. That ugly, chipped basin in your washroom probably makes you cringe every single morning. Fortunately, our team comes right to your home to restore that bright, smooth shine on your tub and surround.
This specialized process saves you thousands of dollars compared to a messy demolition. Naturally, we want to help you fall in love with your home again by renewing your existing fixtures. Your wallet will thank you for choosing this smart alternative. You should grab a free quote from us today to see how affordable this transformation is.
First, let us look at what this deep renewal process actually involves. Many people think they need to buy a brand-new cast iron tub when theirs gets stained or scratched. Instead of that nightmare, we apply a high-tech liquid acrylic coating over your prepped porcelain or fiberglass.
This means you get a glossy, durable finish that looks identical to a brand-new installation. Our process bonds a fresh, durable layer directly onto the old, tired surface. Consequently, your bathroom gets an instant upgrade without the dusty, noisy mess of traditional remodeling.
To give you a better idea of how this compares to replacing everything, we put together a quick comparison table.
| Factor | Our Renewal Process | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very affordable and budget-friendly | Extremely expensive with high labor fees |
| Time Required | Completed in just a few hours | Takes days or weeks of messy construction |
| Mess Level | Very clean with minimal dust | Massive debris, noise, and drywall damage |
Next, you should know that this is not a simple DIY spray-paint job from a local hardware store. Those cheap retail kits usually peel off within a few months. Our professional-grade bonding agents and topcoats are designed to last for years under daily use.
Perhaps you are wondering if this service fits your neighborhood. We proudly serve our small enclave of 117 residents here in Jefferson County, where the median household income sits at a comfortable $93,750. Homeowners in this beautiful corner of the state appreciate high-quality work that preserves their property value.
Whether you reside in the local ZIP code area or nearby, we bring our mobile equipment straight to your doorstep. This means you do not have to worry about finding reliable contractors who actually show up on time. We treat your home with the utmost respect, just like we would treat our own family's house.
Additionally, we understand the unique plumbing layouts of homes in this region. Many local houses feature classic construction with sturdy cast iron basins that are incredibly heavy to remove. Choosing our restoration service keeps those vintage, high-quality fixtures in place while making them look pristine again.
To begin, we thoroughly clean the existing surface with specialized acid-free cleaners to remove all soap scum and mineral deposits. Any deep scratches, chips, or rust spots get filled with a waterproof polyester putty. Then, we sand those areas flat so the repair is completely invisible to the eye.
After that, we apply an advanced bonding agent that acts like a chemical anchor for the new finish. This step is crucial because it prevents the fresh coat from peeling or bubbling later on. We then spray several layers of a premium acrylic topcoat using professional high-volume, low-pressure equipment.
Finally, we let the new surface cure completely before we do our final inspection. This curing time ensures the finish becomes rock-hard and highly resistant to impact. You will be amazed at how smooth and clean the final product feels under your hands.
Of course, we believe in being 100% honest with you about what this process can and cannot do. On the positive side, you get a beautiful, glossy washroom that is incredibly easy to clean. The non-porous nature of the new coating means dirt and grime have nowhere to hide.
On the flip side, you cannot use harsh abrasive cleaners on your newly coated basin. Scrubbing powders or steel wool will dull the beautiful luster over time. You must stick to mild liquid soaps and soft sponges to keep the surface looking brand new.
Another thing to consider is that this process cannot fix structurally cracked or rotting subfloors beneath your tub. If your home has severe water damage behind the walls, you will need to address those issues first. However, if your structure is sound, our surface renewal is absolutely the best path forward.
Once we finish our work, caring for your renewed fixture is actually incredibly simple. You should wipe the surface down with a microfiber cloth after each use to prevent hard water spots. This quick habit keeps the gloss looking deep and reflective for a very long time.
Also, make sure you fix any leaky faucets as soon as possible. Dripping water over several months can wear down even the toughest professional coatings. Taking care of minor plumbing issues protects your investment and keeps your bathroom looking spectacular.
Remember to avoid leaving heavy bottles or wet toys sitting in the corners of the basin for weeks. Letting water pool under objects can eventually weaken the bond of the coating. A little bit of simple care goes a long way in preserving your gorgeous washroom.

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 Hickory Hill, 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.
