A dull or chipped tub in Houstonia 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.
Your old tub probably looks like it survived a war... or at least several decades of harsh scrubbing and heavy boots. Replacing that giant chunk of cast iron or fiberglass can easily drain your bank account and leave your home looking like a dusty construction zone for weeks. Fortunately, we can spray a durable, glossy new synthetic porcelain coating right over your existing fixture in just a few hours. This budget-friendly alternative saves you thousands of dollars while instantly erasing those ugly stains and outdated colors.
If you want to bypass the nightmare of tearing out walls and plumbing, our local team is ready to help you. We can drive out to your home to evaluate your bathroom layout and give you a detailed, free estimate. This hassle-free visit lets you plan your budget without any hidden surprises or pressure.
First of all, removing an old bathing fixture sounds simple until you actually try to wiggle it through a narrow bathroom doorway. You will likely have to rip down drywall, break tiles, and maybe even re-route some old copper pipes. This extra labor adds up fast and transforms a weekend upgrade into a multi-week financial headache.
Moreover, the cost of a brand new unit is only a small fraction of the total bill you will pay. You also have to hire expensive plumbers, pay for trash disposal, and purchase new wall surrounds to match the new setup. Our surface restoration process sidesteps all of those costly steps by keeping your perfectly functional fixture right where it belongs.
By choosing this smart path, you keep your hard-earned money in your pocket while still getting a dazzling, mirror-like finish. Your friends will honestly think you spent a fortune on a brand new designer soaking tub. Plus, the entire job wraps up so quickly that you can use your shower again in just a couple of days.
To start off, we clean the existing basin with specialized industrial cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and body oils. This critical step ensures that the new coatings can grip the original material with absolute tenacity. If we skip this deep clean, the new finish might peel off like a cheap sticker, which we definitely want to avoid.
Next, we repair any deep chips, rust spots, or ugly cracks using a heavy-duty waterproof polyester filler. Once we sand these patched areas completely flat, your old damaged surface feels as smooth as a fresh sheet of ice. This meticulous prep work is actually the secret key to a flawless end result that lasts for many years.
After that, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically welds the new topcoat to the old porcelain or acrylic. We then use professional spray equipment to lay down multiple layers of high-gloss acrylic urethane. This advanced material cures into an incredibly hard, shiny shell that resists scratches and looks absolutely gorgeous.
To help you see the big picture, we put together a simple breakdown of how our fast surface renewing process stacks up against a traditional messy replacement.
| Project Factors | Full Replacement | Our Renewal Service |
|---|---|---|
| Average Project Duration | Typically 3 to 7 days of loud construction | Finished in about 4 to 6 hours total |
| Mess and Dust Levels | Extremely high dust, drywall debris, and noise | Very low, with local exhaust fans used on site |
| Overall Cost Impact | Very expensive due to plumbing and tile work | Highly affordable, saving up to 75% of demo costs |

We rely heavily on word-of-mouth recommendations, so we always sweep up our mess and leave your bathroom looking spotless. Our goal is to make sure you are so happy with the result that you tell your cousins and neighbors about us.
Once we pack up our gear and leave, caring for your restored basin is actually incredibly simple and easy. You must avoid abrasive scouring powders or harsh bleach products, because those aggressive chemicals can dull the shiny protective topcoat over time. Instead, just use a mild dish soap or a gentle spray cleaner along with a soft microfiber cloth.
Additionally, you should stay away from using heavy rubber suction-cup mats, which can trap water underneath and eventually weaken the bond. If you want a non-slip surface, just let us know beforehand, and we can apply a permanent slip-resistant texture to the bottom of the basin during the spraying process. This smart add-on keeps you safe while preserving the integrity of the new finish.
By following these basic guidelines, your upgraded fixture will look incredibly bright, clean, and inviting for up to ten to fifteen years. This small amount of care ensures you get the absolute maximum value out of your investment. You will love how easy it is to wipe away dirt from the smooth, non-porous surface.

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 Houstonia, 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.
