All over Iberia Parish, 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 probably stare at those worn-out, stained, or chipped washbasins every single morning and wish for a fresh start. Keeping your bathroom looking sharp does not require a total gut job or spending a massive fortune on new plumbing fixtures.
This process gives you the chance to transform your outdated, dull tubs into sparkling centerpieces that look brand new again. By choosing this route in Iberia Parish, you save thousands of dollars while enjoying a high level of physical ease and visual appeal.
What actually happens during this transformation? First, a skilled pro cleans every inch of the surface to remove soap scum, grime, and calcium buildup that sticks over time.
Then, the surface gets etched, which creates a rough texture that helps the new coating grip tight to the old material. Finally, the technician applies multiple layers of high-grade synthetic resin that creates a durable finish with immense physical gratification.
This modern method works wonders on porcelain, cast iron, and even fiberglass units that have seen better days. Because it seals the surface completely, you no longer have to worry about porous materials harboring gross bacteria or hidden mildew growth.
Replacing a tub involves ripping out walls, dealing with heavy debris, and hiring several different types of contractors. This nightmare scenario often leaves your house in total chaos for weeks while the costs climb higher every single day.
Conversely, our specialized refinishing service usually takes less than a single day to complete from start to finish. You wake up with a beat-up, eyesore of a tub and go to sleep with a smooth, glossy surface that feels great to the touch.
Think about the sheer amount of money you save by skipping the demolition phase entirely. That extra cash stays right in your pocket, letting you spend it on other upgrades like fancy fixtures or new vanity lighting.
You might wonder if these coatings actually hold up against daily wear and tear. Well, the truth is that these specialized resins are designed to handle consistent moisture and scrubbing without peeling or cracking.
If you treat the surface with mild cleaners and avoid harsh chemicals, the results last for many years. This gives you a lasting sense of tranquility knowing your investment remains in top shape long after the job is finished.
We take pride in using materials that resist yellowing, keeping that bright, clean look for as long as possible. Even if you have an older home in this region, our techniques work just as well as they do in newer construction projects.
| Feature | Your Concrete Benefit | |
|---|---|---|
| Fast curing time | You get back to your shower quickly | |
| Hardened resin layer | Protects against future chips and cracks | |
| Custom color matching | Perfects your specific bathroom aesthetic | |
| Eco-friendly disposal | No heavy demolition trash in your yard |
Living in this beautiful part of Louisiana, you know that humidity can be a real headache for home maintenance. The constant moisture in the air often leads to unwanted mold growth around older, porous bathtub seals.
Our specialized application process creates a non-porous barrier that acts like a shield against that persistent southern humidity. This keeps your bathroom environment much healthier and much easier to wipe down after every single shower you take.
Since the population of our area remains steady and values are rising, keeping your home in good condition matters a lot. A sparkling, updated bathroom drastically increases the overall value of your property if you ever decide to sell.
Initially, you should expect a thorough inspection of the current damage to see if the tub is a good candidate for this work. Some deep cracks might need special attention before the main coating goes on, ensuring a seamless final result.
Next, the technician masks off the surrounding tile, floor, and vanity to protect them from any stray spray. This level of care shows the respect we have for your personal property and your living space.
Once the surface is prepped, the technician sprays the finish using a specialized system that ensures an even coat everywhere. You get a finish that looks like high-end acrylic without any of the visible brush marks or drips.
Before the work begins, clear out all your personal items like shampoos, soaps, and loofahs from the bathroom space. This helps the pro move freely around the area and finish the work without any unnecessary delays.
Also, ensure the area has proper ventilation by opening windows or running an exhaust fan during the application. Proper airflow helps the materials set correctly and ensures your home stays fresh throughout the entire process.
You will need to let the finish cure for a full day before using the water again. Planning your schedule around this short downtime ensures you get the best possible result that lasts for many years.
Many folks worry about the smell during the application, but we use high-powered exhaust systems to keep it minimal. You will notice a slight scent, but it dissipates very quickly once the job is wrapped up properly.
Another common question relates to the finish feel, and most people find it just as smooth as porcelain. It feels very clean and provides a high level of physical gratification every time you step into the water.
If you have a clawfoot tub, this process works beautifully to preserve that classic style while giving it modern strength. You do not have to sacrifice the charm of an older home to get the modern performance you deserve.

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.
